duction of crude oil and NGL to 33.8 mn bpd, down

4.3 mn bpd or 11.3% lower than the figure for September

2018.

Crude oil and NGL production in the OECD 30 coun-

tries totaled 26.7 mn bpd in September, up by 1.9 mn bpd

or 7.7% from the previous year.

Production in the countries of the Commonwealth of

Independent States (CIS) for September 2019 was

15.2 mn bpd, down 0.1 mn bpd or 0.1% compared with
