Crude oil is trading above $73 a barrel and hit a six-month high above $75 last week, boosted by Saudi supply restraint and curbs in Venezuela and Iran, which face U.S. sanctions that are limiting their exports. OPEC, Russia and other non-members, an alliance known as OPEC+, agreed in December to reduce supply by 1.2 million bpd from Jan. 1. OPEC\u2019s share of the cut is 800,000 bpd, to be delivered by 11 members \u2013 all except Iran, Libya and Venezuela.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">In April, the OPEC members bound by the agreement achieved 132 per cent of pledged cuts, the survey found, compared to 145 per cent in March, due to higher production in Nigeria and small increases in Saudi Arabia and Iraq.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil supply hit a four-year low in April due to further involuntary declines in sanctions-hit Iran and Venezuela and output restraint by top exporter Saudi Arabia, a Reuters survey found.
