1973 oil crisis - Effective OPEC
Time: 1970
Place: Vienna, Austria
Details: In the early 1960s Libya, Indonesia and Qatar joined OPEC. OPEC was generally regarded as ineffective until political turbulence in Libya and Iraq strengthened their position in 1970. Additionally, increasing Soviet influence provided oil-producing countries with alternative means of transporting oil to markets.
