Five members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries want increases in production to gain a larger share of the world market, Indonesia`s Mines and Energy Minister Subroto told his country`s parliament. He did not elaborate on what the OPEC committee that met in Vienna last month –Indonesia, Venezuela, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates–regarded as the desired share but said output should be higher than OPEC`s current ceiling of 16 million barrels a day.
