Oil production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries fell by 60,000 barrels per day in September from a month earlier, to 31.2 million barrels per day, according to a Platts survey released Tuesday. Platts said Saudi Arabia was the only OPEC member to reduce supply last month, cutting back to 10.26 million barrels a day from 10.4 million barrels a day in August. Margaret McQuaile, senior correspondent for Platts, said that all signals “seem to point to yet another rollover of the current output ceiling in December.” The output ceiling stands at 30 million barrels a day. November crude was down 24 cents at $46.86 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
