Oil Minister Derlis Palacios or Ecuador say that his government will ask Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) for an exception if the oil cartel decides to slash their production for the second time in a month.

Now, Ecuador produces about 493,000 barrel of oil a day by following OPEC's rule.
