OPEC October Production Data
All data below is based on the latest OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report.
All data is through October 2017 and is in thousand barrels per day.
I have now included Equatorial Guneia although I only have data from January 2015 from OPEC’s secondary sources. The January 2015 E. Guneia data was extended back to January 2005. I know this is inaccurate but production from E. Guneia is so small it will make little difference.
OPEC September Oil Production
All data below is based on the latest OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report.
All data is through September 2017 and is in thousand barrels per day.
The above chart does not include the 14th member of OPEC that was recently added, Equatorial Guinea. I do not have historical data for Equatorial Guinea so I may not add them at all. OPEC production has held steady for the past four months. Equatorial Guinea production is tiny, 141,000 bpd so their monthly change in production can be ignored without much effect. OPEC 14 production was up 88,000 barrels per day in September. But that was after their August production had been revised downward by 82,000 bpd.
The OPEC 13, (not including Equatorial Guinea), peaked in 2016 at 32,385 kbpd and are down 150 kbpd for the first 9 months of 2017. Please note that when I say “peaked” I mean “peaked so far“. I am well aware of the fact that OPEC, or some OPEC nations may have further peaks in the future.
OPEC August Crude Oil Production
All data below is based on the latest OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report.
All data is through August 2017 and is in thousand barrels per day.
The above chart does not include the 14th member of OPEC that was just added, Equatorial Guinea. I do not have historical data for Equatorial Guinea so I may not add them at all. OPEC production has held steady for the past three months. Their production was down 79,000 barrels per day in August but that is not a big drop when production is over 32.5 million barrels per day.
OPEC July Production Data
All data below is based on the latest OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report.
All data is through July 2017 and is in thousand barrels per day.
The above chart does not include the 14th member of OPEC that was just added, Equatorial Guinea. I do not have historical data for Equatorial Guinea so I may not add them at all. It doesn’t really matter since they are only a very minor producer. Also they are in steep decline, dropping at about 10% per year.
The huge June OPEC production increased was due to a revision, explained below.
