'Saudis did not make oil output threat'
Saudi Arabia didn't threaten to increase its oil production if other OPEC members wouldn't agree to make cuts, said the group's top official."Their contributions as usual were constructive" at talks with other members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna last week, Mohammed Barkindo said.OPEC held technical talks at its Vienna headquarters on October 28 aimed at finalising the details of the Algiers agreement to curb output to a range between 32.5 million and 33 million barrels a day.

Ministers from the group will meet in Vienna on November 30 to decide how they will share the burden of the production cuts.Oil extended losses earlier Friday after Reuters reported that Saudi Arabia threatened to raise output if other members didn't agree to cuts.
