(adds oil minister quotes)RIYADH (Thomson Financial) - The oil minister of OPEC's largest producer Saudi Arabia said fears about a shortage of crude supplies were baseless and there was no reason for them to push prices to current record levels.The fears are 'groundless,' Ali al-Nuaimi told reporters in Riyadh ahead of an OPEC summit opening in the Saudi capital this weekend.'The prices today have really no relation with the fundamentals,' he said.'I believe OPEC in general and Saudi Arabia in particular have demonstrated their ability to respond very quickly to any disruption,' Nuaimi added.tf.TFN-Europe_newsdesk@thomson.comjagCOPYRIGHTCopyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007.
