Oil producing countries,OPEC, have reached a consensus to maintain crude oil production unchanged, Kuwait oil minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah al-Sabah said on Wednesday (9 / 9) night, ahead of a cartel meeting.
There is a consensus to maintain stable production, as widely expected by the ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), said Sheikh Ahmad told reporters.
OPEC, whose 12 members are pumping 40 per cent of the world's oil, agreed at the end of 2008 to remove 4.2 million barrels per day of oil production in the market.
