The 37.47 million barrels per day produced by the 19 alliance members with a monthly target marked a 100,000 b/d decline compared to March and the lowest level in 11 months, according to Energy Intelligence’s preliminary assessment. When counting crude output including the four countries without a quota — Iran, Libya, Venezuela and Mexico — Opec-plus production was estimated at 43.46 million b/d last month, down 60,000 b/d and a 10-month low.
