According to RBC, on November 12 prices for oil decreased, which was caused by growth of dollar in relation to euro, the British pound and the Swiss franc.

Nevertheless, the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) considers that it is too early to speak about the necessity of further decrease of oil extraction," the text informs. According to the information and political Internet-channel Polit.Ru, OPEC can hold an emergency meeting till December 17, 2008 to discuss further decrease of oil extraction as decrease of prices for oil will damage the future of oil market.

According to the forecast, consumption of oil in 2030 will reach 106.4 million barrels a day, which is below the level of the previous forecast by 116.3 million barrels a day. Demand from the emerging market countries till 2030 will grow and from the developed countries will reduce.
