As international oil prices rise amid the nation\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the 10 OPEC members and their 13 non-OPEC partners are likely to approve an output increase of 432,000 barrels per day on Thursday, the Journal reported.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2016, Russia has coordinated oil output with OPEC through the Declaration of Cooperation (DoC). \u201cWe all agreed that Russia is technically out of the effective participation in the DoC at the moment,\u201d an OPEC delegate told the Journal.<\/p>\n<p>The report occurs as European Union leaders agreed to slash 90% of Russian oil imports by the end of 2022, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/06\/01\/oil-markets-european-union-russia-oil-ban-covid-in-china.html\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with The Daily Wire, American Enterprise Institute senior fellow James Coleman explained that OPEC has historically made similar moves with respect to other countries hit by international sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a country like Russia, Iran, or Venezuela is under sanctions that are preventing it from producing very much oil, there\u2019s no real need to have it as part of a group that has restrictions on its oil production,\u201d Coleman, a law professor at Southern Methodist University, explained to The Daily Wire. \u201cRussia is not going to be able to produce that much anyway given the sanctions that are preventing it from selling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, OPEC operates by setting production quotas for its members, thereby allowing the alliance to manipulate global oil prices to the members\u2019 advantage. OPEC nations collectively represent 60% of the world\u2019s total traded petroleum, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/finance\/markets\/crudeoil\/supply-opec.php\">U.S. Energy Information Administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman added that OPEC\u2019s move could be seen as \u201cfriendly\u201d to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a hostile move in any way,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cNormally OPEC says to Russia, \u2018You need to restrain your production.\u2019 In this circumstance, they\u2019re basically saying, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about that. You go ahead and produce as much as you want.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a drop in Russian oil supply may lead OPEC to increase production quotas \u2014 a move that \u201carguably could be seen as more of a hostile act toward Russia,\u201d Coleman said. Nevertheless, many of the OPEC countries are currently \u201cnot producing as much as they\u2019re allowed to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of Wednesday afternoon, Brent Crude has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/@LCO.1\">surged<\/a> from roughly $99 to nearly $116 between the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24 and the first day of June. West Texas International crude similarly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/@CL.1\">increased<\/a> from under $93 to almost $115 over the same time frame. As he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-banker-brace-yourself-for-looming-economic-hurricane\">warned investors<\/a> to \u201cbrace yourself\u201d for an economic \u201churricane,\u201d JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned on Wednesday that oil prices may hit $150 to $175 per barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Prices for regular unleaded gas hit $4.67 in the United States this week, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">AAA<\/a>. In particular, California \u2014 which boasts some of the nation\u2019s most aggressive restrictions on nonrenewable energy \u2014 saw prices of $6.19 per gallon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are reportedly considering a suspension of Russia from an oil production deal in the wake of sanctions from Western nations, according to a Tuesday report from The Wall Street Journal.
