Qatar’s Al-Attiyah fears oil will fall below $20/b on OPEC price war, coronavirus

摘要

London—Former OPEC president and Qatar oil minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah told S&P Global Platts on Monday he expects oil prices could fall below $20/b after OPEC and Russia failed to agree output cuts and with the global spread of coronavirus hammering demand. “I saw the first shock and the first collapse and this is worse,” Al-Attiyah, who was Qatar’s longest-serving oil minister until he stepped down in 2011, told Platts in an interview. “My expectation is for oil to fall below $20/b. We have seen it before.”
