This is excluding Libya, Iran and Venezuela, which are exempt from the deal.
Taking into account all voluntary restrictions and compensation schedules provided for August, OPEC+ countries were supposed to produce 35.473 million bpd. Thus, the alliance produced 75,000 bpd above plan.
In August, Iraq deviated the most from the OPEC+ oil production plan - the country produced 228,000 bpd more than planned, although it cut production by 50,000 bpd.
