Oil prices would have fallen to $20 a barrel without OPEC intervention but oil markets will see tough times in 2009 amid the global financial crisis, Kuwait's state news agency cited an oil official as saying on Monday.

US crude has fallen over $100 to around $40 from its peak in July above $147 but has steadied since December.

"The decisions taken by OPEC in the past few months protected oil prices from a big decline," Nawal Al Fuzaia, Kuwait's national representative to OPEC told KUNA. "If it has not been for these decisions, oil prices would have reached $20 a barrel."
