Description (excerpt):
The recent increase in crude oil and liquid fuels production disruptions, which reached nearly 2.7 million bbl/d in July 2013, contributed to the recent increase in crude oil prices. During July, non-OPEC supply disruptions totaled about 800,000 bbl/d of liquid fuels, with the remaining 1.9 million bbl/d of the volume disruption occurring among OPEC producers. This level of crude oil production outages among OPEC producers is the highest since at least January 2009, and includes disruptions in Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Nigeria.
