A Reuters survey revealed that the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ crude oil production decreased in April due to delays in Nigerian shipments and a halt in some of Iraq’s exports.
This drop in output from both countries, combined with strong adherence to the ongoing supply cut deal by the OPEC+ alliance, contributed to the decrease. The survey found that OPEC pumped 28.62 million barrels per day last month, a reduction of 190,000 bpd from March and down by over 1 million bpd from September.
