OPEC Poised to Set New Oil Base Price at $20 a Barrel
The 13 member OPEC cartel plans to set a $20 per barrel base for crude, up from $14.55, ending recent surcharges and scheduling a September review. The compromise hoped to unite members, with Iran and Iraq backing a higher target and Saudi Arabia seeking unity over price. An $800 million boost to the OPEC fund for underdeveloped nations was also approved in principle, pending finance ministers. In Tokyo, Carter prepared to seek Western targets to curb oil imports through 1980.
