OPEC monitors its own crude production using
so-called secondary sources, including the media. Platts
publishes monthly estimates of OPEC production, based on
a survey of OPEC and oil industry officials, on a
country-by-country basis.
OPEC sets a production ceiling for ten of its 11
members. Iraq, which is struggling to rebuild its oil
industry after years of UN sanctions and a war led by
the US, does not have a production quota.
All figures are in millions of barrels per day.
