Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia boosted oil output in October to the highest since February, the last month before the Iran war disrupted Middle East supplies, according to a copy of Opec’s monthly report seen by Reuters.

Saudi Arabia told Opec that it pumped 10.563 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude in October, the report says, up from 8.372 million bpd in September. This marks its highest since February this year, when Saudi Arabia told Opec it produced 10.882 million bpd.
