OPEC was created on September 14, 1960, in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, under the leadership of the Venezuelan Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso and the Saudi Abdullah Al Tarik.
The initial founding partners were Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Until now, the members are 13 countries, mainly made up of nations from the Middle East and Africa.
