LONDON (Reuters) - Delegates from two OPEC countries in the Middle East said on Tuesday they were not aware of any discussion about boosting the group's output beyond the 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) increase already in train.

"I have not heard of any talk of a further OPEC output increase," said one of the delegates, declining to be named.

The second said he had heard nothing from other OPEC members suggesting a further production hike was on the cards.

OPEC agreed at its last meeting in September to boost supplies by 500,000 bpd from November 1.
