The Middle East countries were not really aware of the concentration of oil wealth until World War 2, when demand for oil rose sharply. Thus, oil-producing states established the OPEC to promote their interest in higher revenues.

It sounds like you are referring to OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries). Note that not all members of OPEC are in the Middle East. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq, with the signing of an agreement in September 1960 by five countries namely Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. They were to become the Founder Members of the Organization. These countries were later joined by Qatar (1961), Indonesia (1962), Libya (1962), the United Arab Emirates (1967), Algeria (1969), Nigeria (1971), Ecuador (1973), Gabon (1975) and Angola (2007). From December 1992 until October 2007, Ecuador suspended its membership. Gabon terminated its membership in 1995. Indonesia suspended its membership effective January 2009. Currently, the Organization has a total of 12 Member Countries.
The region with the greatest number of nations belonging to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is the Middle East. This region includes several key OPEC members, such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. These countries are significant producers of oil and play a crucial role in the global petroleum market. Additionally, OPEC's influence is largely derived from the concentration of oil reserves in this region.
