Oil is an unusual commodity in that individual decisions can have
an outsized effect on the market. OPEC+'s choice to increase
production, for instance, might send prices falling, affecting both
oil producers and consumers worldwide. What do the leading oil
market players consider before making a fateful move? Oil Leaders
offers an unprecedented glimpse into the strategic thinking of top
figures in the energy world from the 1980s through the recent past.
Ibrahim AlMuhanna-a close adviser to four different Saudi oil
ministers during that period-examines the role of individual and
collective decision making in shaping market movements. He analyzes
how powerful individuals made critical choices, tracking how they
responded to the flow of information on pivotal market and
political events and predicted reactions from allies and
adversaries. AlMuhanna highlights how the media has played an
increasingly important role as a conduit of information among
multiple players in the oil market. Energy leaders have learned to
manage the signals they send to the market and to other relevant
players in order to avoid sending oil prices into a spiral.
AlMuhanna draws on personal familiarity with many of these
individual decision makers as well as his participation in decades
of closed-door sessions where crucial choices were made. Featuring
revelatory behind-the-scenes perspective on pivotal oil market
events and dynamics, this book is a must-read for practitioners and
policy makers engaged with the global energy world.
