Instead, the group plans to meet again in March.

Those numbers are hovering near TWELVE-YEAR lows.
Average OPEC oil prices have dropped from 18- dollars a barrel last year to under 11- dollars.
OPEC's problems are largely attributed to a production hike coinciding with Asia's economic crisis.

The energy giants were split apart nearly 90 years ago by trustbusters -- their reunion would create the world's premier energy business.
Neither company would confirm the 49-(B) billion dollar acquisition.
