Not really, other than waiting billions of years for dead bodies to fossilize into oil again.

International oil prices are determind by?

Oil prices everywhere are determined by supply and demand through a market exchange like the NYMEX. It is done similar to how stock prices are done. When the supply is high relative to demand, people bid lower for a barrel of oil, when the demand is high relative to supply people bid higher for a barrel of oil. Speculators can also play in this game bidding up the cost of a barrel of oil. Interestingly enough, far too many people blame the oil companies when prices are high. While this can be partially true, since oil companies can withhold supply from the market, it generally does not hold true because there are many many different places where oil can be retreived. The supply of oil to the market can also be determined by the price. Oil companies will only supply so much oil at a given price before they will not supply any more unless the price is bid higher. Where the bid price equals what the oil companies are willing to supply you have an equilibrum price.

If OPEC reduced output, then world supply will fall. Thus, as supply falls, the price will rise, and the profits of oil-producing countries increase. (In a demand-and-supply graph, the supply curve will shift to the left and you'll see the change in price.)
