OPEC oil output rises by 100,000 bpd in July, survey finds
By Alex Lawler
LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters) -The following table shows crude output by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in millions of barrels per day (bpd) in June and July, according to a Reuters survey published on Friday.
OPEC and allies, together known as OPEC+, agreed in June to extend most of their deep oil output cuts well into 2025 as the group seeks to shore up the market amid tepid demand growth, high interest rates and rising rival U.S. production.
The figures in the first and second columns are in millions of barrels per day. Totals are rounded
June output was revised down by 100,000 bpd because Saudi output was lower than previously thought.
