OPEC Could Extend Oil Cutbacks Until End of June, Kuwait Says

Kuwait, Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries could extend self-imposed oil output cuts
until the end of June 2000, three months beyond their current
expiry date, a Kuwait oil official said.

Benchmark Brent crude oil has risen to $21.84 a barrel from
less than $10 in December as 10 members of OPEC and four other
nations agreed to cut world oil output by a total of about 7
percent for one year, starting on April 1. The producers
reaffirmed their commitment at a meeting in Vienna on Sept. 22.
``OPEC could increase production in the third quarter next
year after it makes sure global oil stockpiles are reasonable,'
said a Kuwait oil ministry official, Kuwait's official KUNA news
agency reported.

Oil producers are reluctant to relieve production cuts
before removing a global oil glut that caused prices to hit a 12-
year low in December.

The American Petroleum Institute reported earlier this month
that U.S. oil supplies fell 7.14 million barrels to 298.94
million barrels, the lowest level since September 1997.
