OPEC members will meet on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum (IEF), which groups producers and consumers, in Algeria on Sept. 26-28.
Iran’s Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh has earlier confirmed that he will take part in the upcoming meeting, aimed at a "common action" to support the global oil prices.
Iran’s oil output stood at 3.9 million barrels per day (mbpd) before sanctions brought it down to 2.8 mbpd. The output now stands at 3.7 mbpd.
Saudi Arabia and some other countries used Iran’s partial absence from the market under sanctions to export beyond their OPEC quotas, with a result that the OPEC output for July stood at 33.44 mbpd while the official ceiling is 30.45 mbpd.
