Map update

[edit]

Brazil is part of OPEP+. 189.79.245.129 (talk) 21:05, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this map lists Guinea as a member, which it is not. (Equatorial Guinea, included, is.)

Seconding the comment about the map incorrectly displaying Guinea as a member. WillB94 (talk) 21:35, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ministerial Meetings

[edit]

Hi. Do we have sources on the places of the OPEC Ministerial Meetings? I was able to find this [1] that talks about the three heads of state summits held so far, and I know that the infamous 1975 ministerial meeting was held in Vienna, but the own OPEC's page about future meetings seems to be empty:[2]. Does anyone has more information on this? Thanks in advance, NoonIcarus (talk) 14:13, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsubstantiated extraordinary claims

[edit]

These two sentences "However, since 2020, OPEC countries along with non-OPEC participants had helped in stabilising oil markets after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a collapse in oil demand. This has allowed oil markets to remain stable relative to other energy markets that experienced unprecedented volatility" are used to contradict peer-reviewed research that notes that OPEC members frequently renege on their commitments and that members would do what they do even in the absence of an OPEC agreement. The source, a CNBC story dated April 2020, does not substantiate any of the text in those two sentences and does not in any way contradict that OPEC members frequently renege on their commitments and would do what they do even in the absence of an agreement. The two sentences should be removed, as they are WP:OR, WP:UNDUE and also recentist. Thenightaway (talk) 02:24, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
