On December 10, 2016, OPEC announced that 11 non-OPEC countries, led by Russia, had joined the agreement by pledging to further reduce oil production by 558,000 bpd. This “Declaration of Cooperation” to collectively reduce oil production by approximately 1.7 million bpd has been extended twice and is currently in effect through December 2018. Congressional interest in OPEC dates back to at least 1973 when some Arab members of the organization instituted oil production cuts and embargoed oil shipments to the United States, South Africa, the Netherlands, and Portugal. The embargo created perceived shortages and resulted in increased gasoline prices for U.S. consumers. Follow
