VIENNA (Reuters) - Core Gulf OPEC members and others have a consensus to keep the organisation's oil production ceiling intact at its meeting this week, a senior Gulf OPEC delegate told Reuters on Tuesday, reinforcing a view among a growing chorus of members.
"There is consensus among Gulf OPEC countries, and others, to keep the ceiling unchanged," the source said after an informal meeting of the four core Gulf Arab OPEC members earlier in the day.
"Nobody wants to rock the boat. The meeting is expected to be smooth sailing."
