One barrel (159 litres) of OPEC-produced crude stood at 45.75 dollars Wednesday, the Vienna-based organization announced Thursday.

OPEC calculates an average price based on 12 brands produced by its members. Indonesia suspended its membership as of Jan 1, as the country has become a net importer of oil.
