There was a time when the organization called OPEC, was a group of oil producing nations that were almost always in agreement regarding the amount of petroleum that would be produced and what the price per barrel of oil would be. This is no longer a factor in the price and production of petroleum. Currently, it can be said that the free market now makes these decisions.
