The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was founded in 1960 primarily to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of its member countries, ensuring stable oil prices and securing a fair income for oil-producing nations. The organization emerged in response to the control exerted by major oil companies, known as the "Seven Sisters," over oil production and pricing. By collaborating, OPEC aimed to strengthen the bargaining power of oil-exporting countries and protect their interests in the global market.
