The price of OPEC basket of 12 crudes stood at USD 75.15 a barrel on Thursday, compared with USD 76.96 pb the previous day, the cartel said on Friday.
OPEC's news bulletin put the basket annual average price, for the past year, at USD 105.85 pb.
The cartel's 12 member states decided, last June, to maintain the output ceiling at USD 30 million barrels per day for maintaining the market stability.
