Africa's no. 3 oil producer Equatorial Guinea has presented an offer to join the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) this year and has agreed to production cuts, its energy ministry said on Monday.

If Equatorial Guinea was to join OPEC, it would become the cartel's 14th member and the sixth from Africa, further raising the continent's influence and profile in the corridors of global oil production and pricing. "We firmly believe that Equatorial Guinea's interests are fully aligned with those of OPEC in serving the best interests of the industry," Mines and Hydrocarbons Minister Gabriel Mbaga Obiang was quoted as saying in a statement.

The offer was made when Obiang traveled to Vienna on Friday to meet with OPEC officials but the statement provided no further details about the west African nation's bid for OPEC membership.
