Saudi Arabia pumped the most oil in three decades last month, reaching 9.8 million barrels a day and boosting OPEC production, the International Energy Agency said. Increased output in Angola helped replace lower supply in Libya.
Daily supply from the 11 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries members bound by quotas rose to 27.37 million barrels a day in July from 27.22 million in June, the Paris-based IEA said today in its monthly oil market report.
“Output has regained levels close to those seen before the Libyan crisis, although OPEC spare capacity now stands at only 3.3 million barrels per day,” the IEA said. Production by the 12-member group is still below what the market demands, even as Saudi Arabia ramps up output to the highest level since 1981.
