Saudi Arabia pumped 8.4 million barrels a day of crude oil in 2010, 4.3 percent above its OPEC quota, as it used more crude to meet growing domestic demand, according to a U.S. government report released today.
The kingdom also produced about 1.8 million barrels a day of natural-gas liquids and other fuels not subject to output restrictions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, according to the Energy Information Administration, the U.S. Energy Department’s statistical arm. That brought its total output level to 10.2 million barrels a day.
