Zangeneh Leaving Tehran to Attend OPEC Meeting in Vienna

TEHRAN (Shana) – Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh will leave Tehran for Vienna within hours to attend the 176th meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The meeting will be held on Monday, July 1, at OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

Extending the OPEC+ deal to cut output by 1.2 mbd as well as reducing production by up to 1,800,000 barrels per day are the likely scenarios to be discussed during tomorrow's summit.

The 14 OPEC members will also decide on the new secretary general of the organization; however, most analysts say that Mohammad Barkindo’s post as OPEC secretary general will be extended for another three years.
