A Reuters interview with Nigerian oil minister Emmanuel Ibe Kachiwku

  • Mood inside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is shifting
  • Toward a growing consensus that a decision must be reached on how to end the global oil price rout
  • "There's increased conversation going on. I think when we met in December ... they (OPEC members) were hardly talking to one another. Everyone was protecting their own positional logic
  • Now I think you have cross-logic ... they are looking at what are the deficiencies, what is the optimum."
