Secretary General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Haitham Al Ghais Friday said investing in energy is vital to ensure the market stability.

Delivering a speech during an energy security session as part of energy ministers meeting in Indonesia’s Bali, Al Ghais said the OPEC researches assess that the oil sector in all its productivity phases needs investment evaluated at more than $12 trillion until 2045 to ensure enough supplies in the future to meet the expected high demand for oil.

On the sidelines of the ministerial meeting held under the umbrella of the G-20, Al-Ghais met with some ministers and officials, including Indonesia’s minister of energy and mineral resources Arifin Tasrif, European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simpson, Secretary General of the International Energy Forum Joseph McMonigle and US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk.
