The 10 members of OPEC bound by the group's production agreements
pumped
26.575 million b/d in March, up 120,000 b/d from February,
the US Energy
Information Administration said Wednesday.
Output from the OPEC 12, including Iraq and Angola, rose 307,000
b/d to
30.252 million b/d, EIA said in its Short Term Energy Outlook for
April.
Production from OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia was unchanged at 8.6
million
b/d, EIA said.
The agency, the statistical arm of the US Department of Energy,
also
lowered its call on OPEC crude for the second quarter by 400,000
b/d to 30.4
million b/d, and lowered its full-year 2007 call by 200,000 b/d to
31 million
b/d.
The "call" on
OPEC crude is the gap that exists between world crude
demand and supply from non-OPEC producers.
