The head of OPEC plans to dine with U.S. shale company executives on Monday in Houston, the second consecutive year that the secretary general has met with some of the cartel’s top rivals.

"One of the lessons learned from this oil-price cycle is that as producers we are all in the same boat," Mohammad Barkindo said in an interview Tuesday.
