RIYADH--Crude oil exports of top oil exporter Saudi Arabia eased down to 7.583 million barrels a day in April, from 7.704 million barrels a day a month earlier, despite a rise in the kingdom's output, official data showed Monday.
Oil production in the Arab world's largest economy rose to 10.102 million barrels a day, the highest level in three decades, from 9.923 million barrels a day in March, according to figures posted on the Joint Organization Data Initiative, or JODI, website.
JODI is supervised by the Riyadh-based International Energy Forum and shows data supplied directly by governments dating back to 2002.
