- Together, Opec+ countries produce about 40% of all the world's crude oil. "Opec+ tailors supply and demand to balance the market," says Kate Dourian, of the Energy Institute.

OPEC’s power has waned amid divisions within the group. Some of these were driven by regional power struggles. Others were spurred by differences in opinion over strategy and target prices for the cartel. In the 1980s, OPEC conferences were typically characterized by disagreements between so-called price doves, who pushed for higher output and lowe...
