November OPEC Production Fell by 1.05mbpd: Bloomberg Survey

OIL

OPEC production fell by 1.05mbpd to an average of 28.7mbpd according to a Bloomberg survey. Output reduced by the most since 2020 as the group fulfilled target cuts agreed at the last OPEC meeting in October.

  • Saudi Arabia cut production by 470kbpd to 10.44mbpd with UAE and Kuwait also reducing output.
  • The group is expected to keep supplies unchanged at the next meeting on Dec 4 although lower prices and weaker demand have increased the risk of further cuts.
  • Even without any changes in targets, OPEC+ production could still decline due to lower Russian output following the EU ban and the oil price cap from Dec 5. EU members are getting closer to an agreement on a Russian oil price cap with a level of $60/bbl.
  • The Bloomberg survey is based on ship-tracking data, information from officials and estimates from consultants including Kpler Ltd., Rystad Energy and Rapidan Energy Group.
    • Brent FEB 23 up 2% at 88.75$/bbl
    • WTI JAN 23 up 2.7% at 82.72$/bbl
