Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, produced more crude in November and December to meet demand growth in the fourth quarter, Banque Saudi Fransi analysts said in a report.

Oil production in the first 10 months of 2010 fell 0.6 percent compared with the year-earlier period, the Riyadh-based bank said today. Production levels appear to have jumped in the final two months of the year, according to the report on the country’s budget dated yesterday.
