Iraq is willing to play an active role within Opec to support oil prices, its Oil Minister Jabar Ali Al-Luaibi said on Saturday, without clarifying whether it was prepared to back a possible agreement to freeze output.”Iraq is seeking to play an active role in order to support oil prices while preserving a share that is proportionate to its reserves,” the minister said during a visit to the southern oil city of Basra, according to oil ministry spokesman Asim Jihad.Iraq wants to “strengthen Opec’s role in achieving a balance in the oil market,” Luaibi added, according to the spokesman.

Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) are due to meet informally in Algeria next month on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum (IEF). Russia is also expected to attend the IEF.Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi on Tuesday said the country has not yet reached its full oil market share, suggesting his government is not willing to restrain crude output.
