CRUDE OIL
EIA: U.S. 2023 Oil Output to Rise Less than Forecast - U.S. crude oil production this year will rise by slightly less than previously expected while demand will fall, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said this week. The EIA issued the new outlook after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended voluntary production cuts of 1.3 million barrels per day (BBL/d) through December as demand concerns weigh. U.S. crude oil production will rise to 12.9 million BBL/d in 2023, the agency said, compared with its previous estimate of 12.92 million BBL/d. (Reuters)
