Abdalla Salem El-Badri, Secretary General OPEC told CNN’s John Defterios in an exclusive interview today, “For the non-OPEC I visit Russia, I talked to the president, I talked to the minister and I urged them that you know they should join us in a cutting production and I'm taking this opportunity to ask also Norway and Mexico to join us, because if the market collapse it's not of the benefit of anybody.”

Defterios asked whether the markets should be stabilised at around $50 a barrel to which he responded: "I think that $40 will not permit us to invest, to have a reasonable price where you can invest, where you can have another source of energy then from $70-$80 a barrel is fair, but $40 and even $50 will not permit us to invest. There will be no additional capacity when the market will, when the economy will pick up then you will not find additional, additional capacity."
