EDIT: The EIA updated their International Energy Statistics Monday with their January update. I spent several hours on that update, updating all my spreadsheets, updating the Non-OPEC Charts page, the World Crude Oil Production by Geographical Area page, and creating the post below. Then after I had finished all that they, the EIA, published another International Energy Statistics with the February production data. Sorry but I am exasperated, I will deal with the February update sometime next week. Below is what I prepared before that update. Anyway the emphasis is far more on the yearly numbers than the monthly numbers.

The EIA finally published an update to their International Energy Statistics. They were over a month late. Last time they were a month late they published two months data. This time no such luck, the data is through January 2014. There was only large revision in the historical data, Canadian December Production was revised up by 298 kb/d. There were several much smaller revisions but World December production was revised up by 273 kb/d to 75,431,000 bp/d in December.
World C+C was up to 76,662,000 barrels per day, an increase of 231 kb/d over December. Average world C+C production was up only 132,000 bp/d in 2013 over 2012.
The Gain was all OPEC however. January OPEC Crude + Condensate production was up by 482,000 bp/d to 32,118,000 bp/d. This is considerably different from what the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report reported. They had OPEC crude only production up by 147,000 bp/d in January to 29,855,000 bp/d. Understand this is crude only, not C+C. OPEC crude only seems to be holding relatively steady and stood ate 29,765,000 bp/d in May.
