OPEC was founded on September 14, 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Venezuela. The goal is the establishment of OPEC to set world oil prices and allocation of production of each member. In other words, short-term goal of this organization is how to transfer income from the oil companies to each country’s oil producers. Meanwhile, the OPEC has a long-term goal to achieve and maintain monopoly power in the international oil market.

In the process, the organization has a big role in controlling the price level and the development of the world oil market. This is seen how the organization is the “First Oil Crisis” caused by the embargo made by Saudi Arabia that creating a supply of oil decreased while the demand for oil increased more than twofold.

• Meanwhile, world crude oil prices will be influenced by factors:
• The composition of hydrocarbons contained in the oil
• The weight of the expressed in degrees API (American Petroleum Institute)
• The content of sulfur contained in the oil

The price system used by OPEC before the 1973 system is the fix, where the organization is determining the amount of oil price level that will be traded in international markets. However, in line with the development of the regional market and the market structure that is competitive, the system used by OPEC is no longer effective to run. Furthermore, price is no longer determined by OPEC but by each country in accordance with the basic determination that is used.
