Come hear about major strategic changes occurring in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Iraq as well as the impact of those producers’ decisions on the Asian markets. Questions to be addressed include: Is the ‘Asian premium’ paid by refineries in the Far East still under pressure? How will surging demand from rapidly developing economies affect the balance of oil pricing power? What will be the impact of Russia’s extraordinary efforts to supply oil to Asia?
