At least 11 OPEC members will meet in Doha on Friday for an “informal and consultative meeting,” Qatar’s energy minister Mohammed Saleh al-Sada has confirmed.

Speaking on Thursday after the conclusion of a meeting of major gas exporting countries in Doha, Sada said OPEC members would convene in the Qatari capital on Friday morning.

“We will have a meeting, it’s going to be an informal and consultative meeting,” he said.

Sada said that 11 countries had agreed to attend, without naming them. OPEC has 14 member nations.

The impromptu meeting is likely to focus on a deal to limit oil production.

Saudi Arabia, which may attend Friday’s meeting in Doha, has lobbied for a deal to limit oil production because of perceived global oversupply.

OPEC countries reached a provisional deal on supply in Algeria back in September.
