MOSCOW (Sputnik) – OPEC member states are expected to renew talks on a possible oil output freeze with non-member states at the September 26-28 International Energy Forum (IEF) in Algiers, Algeria.
"It is possible that there may be a chance to reach an agreement at the meeting in Algeria. One agreement between OPEC member states and the other agreement with countries which are not OPEC members," Bouterfa said.
"Algeria is ready to suggest initiatives to these countries to look for decisions. We have ideas on such decisions."
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and his Algerian counterpart Noureddine Boutafra discussed Friday outlooks for Russian energy giant Gazprom drilling for shale gas in Algeria.
