I believe the answer is:

opec

(Other definitions for opec that I've seen before include "International oil-producing cartel" , "[CRUDE OIL] suppliers?" , "Group of countries with a common oil policy" , "Group of petroleum producing countries, formed in 1961" , "Organisation intended to control the production and sale of petroleum" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
