Iran will not accept Saudi Arabia's proposal to increase crude output of
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Iran's
representative to the OPEC was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Iran,
along with Venezuela and Iraq, is going to veto the Saudi Arabia's
proposal at the June 22 OPEC meeting in Vienna, Hossein Kazempour
Ardebili was quoted by Tehran Times daily as saying.
"If Russia also increases its production, that would be a breach of the cooperation agreement," Ardebili said.
OPEC
members will discuss at the meet the proposal by Saudi Arabia to end
the OPEC/ non-OPEC deal to balance the oil market and increase the oil
price. Last year, OPEC members unanimously agreed on the oil
price of USD 60 dollars per barrel, by cutting oil output by 1.2 million
barrels per day (bpd) to 32.5 million bpd.
Non-OPEC members including Russia, Oman and Mexico also agreed to cut 558,000 bpd off their production to stabilise the market.
Meanwhile, oil prices ended lower on Tuesday as investors awaited the upcoming OPEC meeting.
The
West Texas Intermediate for July delivery fell USD 0.78 to settle at
USD 65.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while Brent
crude for August delivery was down USD 0.26 to close at USD 75.08 a
barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange.
