OPEC dip spooks markets

....

In Australia, the Government is about to receive an industry report on our 
oil stocks.

Arising out of last year's crisis in jet fuel supplies at Sydney, the report 
is understood to reject a return to static stockpiles in major centres, 
arguing there is sufficient flexibility in refinery supply chains to protect 
Australia from sustained supply shortages.

The oil industry report comes as the Government is preparing a major energy 
statement that is expected to address the looming shortage of transport 
fuels as Australia's domestic oil production declines.
