RIYADH: Saudi Arabia pumped 9 million barrels per day of crude in April, a 0.54 percent month-on-month increase, according to the latest data from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative.
Crude exports rose to 6.17 million bpd, up 7.16 percent from March, the data showed.
Direct domestic use of crude for power and industry slipped to 377,000 bpd, a decline of 1.6 percent versus the previous month and 6 percent below the April 2024 tally.
Demand from local refineries also eased. Crude intake fell 17.22 percent to 1.84 million bpd.
JODI, a platform overseen by the International Energy Forum, compiles monthly oil statistics supplied voluntarily by national governments. The Kingdom’s figures are published with a roughly two-month lag, providing one of the few publicly available windows into Saudi production, exports, and domestic consumption patterns.
