Oil minister says OPEC holds prices amid surplus
Saudi oil minister Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani told the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists that OPEC will refrain from price hikes for now due to a world supply surplus. He warned the surplus is temporary and another sharp rise is likely by the late 1980s if prices do not grow in real terms. He added new energy sources will not meet most demand in the next decade.
