OPEC at present operates more or less as weak cartel. Saudi Arabia retains their critical role as being a swing player boosting production as they see fit, even if it means being at odds with OPEC productions quotas. The dramatic increases of North American oil and natural gas production has severely curtailed OPECs position economically and politically. The political questions of Saudi allied Arab States and Iran are also divisive against the notion of OPEC being currently supranational. That being said, their embargo in 1973 in retaliation for the Yom Kippur War had the hallmarks and foundation of supranational foreign policy making and governance.
