Saudi Arabia’s oil production plummets to 19-month low
MANAMA - Saudi Arabia’s crude oil output fell in December to a 19-month low as shipments from the Opec producer fell for a third consecutive month and local use of crude dropped, the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (Jodi) said.
The country exported 7.06 million barrels of crude a day in December, the lowest since September 2011, Jodi reported, citing statistics the government submitted to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
December exports were 1.3 per cent less than the previous month. Saudi Arabia pumped 4.8 per cent less in the month to 9.03 million barrels a day.
The kingdom used 303,000 barrels a day at power plants in December, the lowest level in 10 months, according to the data. That is 29 per cent less than what it used a year ago. The country is seeking increasingly to use natural gas as a substitute fuel.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, stored 276.6 million barrels of crude within its borders in December compared with 278.9 million a month earlier, the data show.
Refineries in the kingdom processed 1.73 million barrels a day during the month, down by 44,000 barrels a day from November.
Jodi, supervised by the Riyadh-based International Energy Forum, uses statistics supplied by national governments to compile data on production, imports and exports for oil- producing and consuming nations. The data include crude oil and condensates and exclude natural gas liquids.
