...Japanese oil-company experts and government officials, who at first refused to believe that OPEC had split into a two-tiered pricing system. Some experts hailed the news as a sign of OPEC'S breakup. Said Noboyuki Nakahara, a senior executive of one of Japan's largest oil refineries: "If true, [the split] could mean a virtual collapse of the OPEC price structure." Others more cautiously warned that OPEC could eventually get its act together again by agreeing on the Saudi price, the price of the majority eleven countries, or some level in between.
