Endangers Oil pact Vienna Austria a an open agreement to limit Oil production and maintain the Carters Bench Mark at 118 a barrel was jeopardized sunday when saudi Arabia apparently demanded a $ 15 to $ 18 Price Range officials said. Iran is not going to accept this Type of idea said f. Bar Kushli a senior iranian Delegate to the Winter conference of the organization of Petroleum exporting countries. The new proposal will complicate and it could jeopardize the whole Deal he said. Iran s Oil minister Gholamreza Aghazade announced earlier sunday in Tehran thai his government had agreed to the pact. But bar Kushli said agh Azarch had signed a preliminary draft that would maintain the Cartel s Benchmark at Sib a barrel. He said he Learned sunday morning about a new proposal calling for a Range of prices from $ 15 to $ 18 a barrel. Other officials said the plan was floated by saudi Arabia which has the largest Oil production share at about one Quarter of he Cartel s output. The proposal that was put to the minister when he was Here did not have anything like $ 15," he said. He said other countries including Algeria and Nige Ria were not supporting the Price Range. The ministers apparently fear a floor of $15 would effectively be come the target level rather than $ 18. Bar Kushli also said Agha Zach was not expected to return to Vienna. The minister left Friday morning to get his govern ment s permission to sign the new Accord. Bar Kushli made his remarks on the Way to a meeting with open president i Lanu Lukman. The ministers had been scheduled to resume their Winter meeting sunday but the talks were now put in doubt. The proposed Deal would trim current production by about 4 million barrels a Day from 22,5 million barrels in the first Hal of 19s9. Prices have been running about $4 below the Cartel s Benchmark Price of $18 a barrel because of a Market glut -. Many analysts fear that the Effort by open to limit Oil production if successful will Worsen inflationary pressures in the United Stales at least temporarily and put More upward pressure on interest rates. That would mean slower growth next year and would make president elect George Bush s Effort to trim the Federal deficit without tax increases eve harder than it normally would be the analysis said. The open ministers began meeting nov. 21. But they adjourned for closed door talks to try to end a bitter dispute Between rivals Iran and Iraq. The two nations signed a cease fire in August to end their eight. Year War a conflict with i million casualties that was paid for with Oil Export revenues. Iraq had been demanding an equal production Ceil ing with Iran in any new Accord. Under the new pact Iran and Iraq would get the same quota of 2.64 million barrels a Day. Iran would retain its production share at 14.27 per cent of total output. Other countries would give up some of their share to bring Iraq to the same level As Iran.
