South Korea has decided to release a total 3,467,000
barrels from its emergency reserve in coordination with the International
Energy Agency, to help stabilize the global oil market, the Ministry of
Knowledge Economy said Thursday.
According to an analysis conducted by the IEA, there have been concerns that
the global oil supply could be disrupted in the near term due to the decrease
in oil supply from the Middle East and North African countries, the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' failure in coming to an
agreement for a production increase and the rise in demand due to seasonal
factors, the ministry said in a statement.
Though some OPEC nations, including
Saudi Arabia
, have
plans to increase oil production, the amount seems "insufficient to meet
the supply shortfalls," and the release of emergency oil reserves through
global coordination appears to be the only solution, the statement said.
