This is an increase of 300,000 b/d over the volume of its production last October, supported by the production of Venezuela and members from African countries, while the supply in the Middle East decreased slightly.

It also expected at the time that the Libya’s production would exceed one million b/d in Novembe. At eh same time, Iran and Venezuela increased the volume of the offered quantities.
