GLOBAL oil production increased by almost 910,000 barrels a day (b/d) in September, to 93.8 million b/d, driven by a surge in non-Opec output. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said total global crude output was 2.8 million b/c higher in September than at the same time last year. This was due to a 2.1 million b/d gain in non-Opec supply driven by sustained growth from the US. In Sep tember, non-Opec output increased by 495,000 b/d month-on-month, to 56.7 million b/d, as many producers ramped up following seasonal maintenance.
