>OPEC, IEA Assure Adequate World Oil Supplies as Iraq War Starts
>By Alex Lawler
>
>London, March 20 (Bloomberg) -- OPEC and the International Energy Agency said world markets have enough oil and pledged to meet any shortages after the U.S. began military action against Iraq, which supplies 3 percent of the world's oil.
>Oil exports from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman are continuing to flow, officials from the countries said. Iraq is loading a ship at a port in Turkey, one of two outlets for its crude approved by the United Nations, Turkey's state pipeline company said.
>``There is plenty of oil out there at the moment,'' OPEC President Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah, who is also Qatar's oil minister, said in an interview. ``We will wait to see how the situation unfolds before taking action.''
>Crude oil in London fell for a sixth session, dropping as low as $25.50 a barrel on traders' expectations the war in Iraq will end quickly and on signs that members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will fill any supply disruptions. Iraq is the third-largest Middle East oil producer.
>The IEA, which represents 26 oil-consuming countries and coordinates the use of their strategic oil reserves, sees no need to tap those inventories because of OPEC's commitment to make up for any shortfall, the agency's executive director said.
>``Our perception is that the market is supplied,'' the IEA's Claude Mandil said in an interview. ``If we feel there is a shortfall which cannot be covered by producing countries, of course we will react,''
>The IEA can ask governments to release as much as 12.9 million barrels of oil a day for the first month, more than five times Iraq's daily output in February. OPEC has idle production capacity because it sets output quotas for 10 of its member- nations, all except Iraq, to manage prices.
>Output Cuts?
>OPEC seeks prices of between $22 and $28 a barrel for its index of crude oils, which this week fell below $28 for the first time since December.
>Members ``may cut output in the coming weeks'' to ensure prices stay within the range, al-Attiyah said.
>OPEC raised its output quota by 6.5 percent to 24.5 million barrels a day starting Feb. 1, after a strike in Venezuela cut shipments. With most members pumping more than their targets, OPEC has already begun to compensate for a stoppage of Iraqi exports, analysts said.
>Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, has filled storage tanks with about 50 million barrels of oil, the highest level in more than 10 years, so the crude is easily accessible, a company official said.
>Saudi Arabia's export terminals on the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea are operating normally, the Aramco official said. Iraqi oil is flowing through a pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, said Gulsum Korkmaz, a spokeswoman for pipeline company BOTAS.
>Kuwait, Oman
>Supplies from Kuwait, which borders Iraq, haven't been affected, Deputy Oil Minister Issa al-Aoun said in a telephone interview. The emirate is producing 2.4 million barrels a day, of which about 1.8 million barrels a day is exported, he said.
>Supply from Oman, the sixth-largest producer in the Persian Gulf, hasn't been hurt, said Deputy Oil Minister Salim Shaban, who also runs the state oil company. Exports are flowing at about 670,000 barrels a day, he said in an interview.
>Oman, which isn't an OPEC member, has cut supplies with the group in the past to bolster prices. Oil producers inside and outside OPEC ``may face an output cut in the coming weeks as supply may exceed demand if the war is short,'' Shaban said.
>OPEC oil ministers, who met in Vienna on March 11, haven't been in contact since the attack began, said Purno Yusgiantoro, the oil minister for Indonesia. Members are ready to pump more oil should it be necessary, he said.
>``From our last OPEC meeting, about 5 to 6 million barrels a day are on standby to provide extra supply to the market,'' he said. ``This has been the understanding from the last OPEC meeting.''
