OPEC crude price UP ahead of ministerial meeting   

Kuwait News Agency - 06 July, 2012

OPEC daily basket price stood at USD 97.34 a barrel on Monday, compared with USD 95.87 last Friday, according to the news bulletin of the cartel on Tuesday.

Kuwait Oil Minister Hani Hussein said Monday that OPEC has always been living up to its responsibility in a way that guaranteed oil markets' stability, global economic growth, and interests of producers and consumers alike.

Hussein told KUNA after arriving in Vienna for an extraordinary meeting of the oil cartel, due next Thursday, that OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) is committed to its policy that aims at providing enough oil supplies to oil markets.
He added that the ministerial meeting would be "relatively long" because it would be preceded by a meeting of OPEC's Ministerial Monitoring Committee and the oil cartel's international seminar, due on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Committee, consisting of Kuwait, Algeria, Iran and the Secretary General, will meet ahead of referring recommendations for the ministerial meeting.

The new OPEC Reference Basket of Crudes (ORB) is made up of the following: Saharan Blend (Algeria), Girassol (Angola), Oriente (Ecuador), Iran Heavy (Islamic Republic of Iran), Basra Light (Iraq), Kuwait Export (Kuwait), Es Sider (Libya), Bonny Light (Nigeria), Qatar Marine (Qatar), Arab Light (Saudi Arabia), Murban (UAE) and Merey (Venezuela).
