The new OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report is out this morning. (PDF) According to "secondary sources" total April OPEC production was down 392,600 barrels per day from March. The largest drop came from Nigeria, down 251 kb/d. Iraq was down 104 kb/d, Iran down 34 kb/d, Saudi down 37 kb/d and Venezuela down 21 kb/d. The largest gainers were UAE up 33 kb/d and Angola up 13 kb/d.

The report is on page 35 of this 60 page PDF file.

Thanks Ron

Ron, I have been watching your post all day.

I wonder why it did not trigger off a flurry of comments - as this is quite a "smoking gun".

Thanks for sharing it.
