QUITO, Oct 8 (Reuters) Ecuador plans to officially rejoin OPEC at the cartel's next meeting, Ecuador's Oil Minister Galo Chiriboga said today.

The US Energy Information Administration says Ecuador was the 11th biggest foreign oil supplier to the United States, shipping an average 189,000 bpd during the first seven months of this year.
