OPEC on Thursday told Russia and others oil exporters it wanted an additional 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil cuts until the end of 2020, saying a big move was needed to deal with the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

"We are making efforts to reach an agreement with non-OPEC member countries," minister Bijan Zangeneh said ahead of the meeting, according to the energy news service of Iran, Shana.
