OPEC's monthly report shows that Saudi Arabia's average daily crude oil production in October rose to 10.56 million barrels, just several hundred thousand barrels lower than the pre-war level in February and slightly above its quoted limit under the OPEC framework. Iraq's daily output in October also reached approximately 4.9 million barrels, a new high since the outbreak of war.
