OPEC output remains 30m barrels a day OPEC oil ministers have decided to keep the organisation's output target at 30 million barrels a day. "Everybody has agreed to maintain the level of production and we are monitoring the market," Ramirez told reporters, adding that the 12-nation cartel was anxious about the impact of the eurozone debt crisis on demand for energy. The decision was expected and following, the price of oil fell below $93 a barrel. The ministers also discussed more complex issues on Friday. They included surging shale oil production in the US that could weaken OPEC's role as the world's petroleum powerhouse and a potentially destabilising spat between members Saudi Arabia and Iran over leadership of the organisation.
