Nigeria boosted supplies by 90,000 bpd because of higher output from crude streams including Qua Iboe and Bonny Light. Royal Dutch Shell said on December 20 it ended a one-month force majeure on exports of Bonny Light crude after repairing a pipeline damaged by oil theft. Output also climbed in Venezuela because of higher supply from the country's crude upgrading plants. Production in the United Arab Emirates edged up because of increased allocations to customers of some crude grades. Iraqi output rose due to higher exports, the survey found, but supply to the market during the month has been lower than production figures given by Iraqi officials. The country's new oil minister, Abdul Kareem Luaibi, said on Monday production was above 2.6 million bpd, the first time it has reached that level in 20 years. (Reuters)
