    OPEC officials held talks with Russia and other non-cartel members Saturday in Vienna to debate how to implement a plan aimed at cutting oil output to reduce a global supply glut and bolster prices.

    “The recovery process has taken far too long and we cannot risk delaying the adjustment any further,” said Sanusi Barkindo, the secretary general of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, in his opening remarks.

    “Therefore, we should be calling for maximum commitment from all OPEC and non-OPEC countries in this regard and we should expect no less as this is our commitment, not only to our member countries but to the global community.”

    Moscow’s delegation declined to comment before the meeting. But OPEC and Russia — the world’s top oil producer along with Saudi Arabia — have held several meetings recently to tighten cooperation to ease price volatility.

    “There is an acute and urgent need to speed up the rebalancing,” Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said during a recent Vienna visit.

    Other non-OPEC members attending the technical committee meeting included delegations from Oman, Bolivia and Azerbaijan.

    “We will discuss the recognised positions of countries, first of all the OPEC countries,” Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Natig Aliyev told reporters in Vienna.

    He added that some measures needed “to be taken to stabilise the market”.

    On Friday, OPEC-only members, led by oil kingpin Saudi Arabia, had already met to try and hammer out details of the plan ahead of a summit in late November.

    In a surprise move, th cartel last month agreed a deal to trim production by up to 750,000 barrels per day to between 32.5 and 33 millions per day.

    The announcement of the first such move since 2008 sent prices surging.
