OGJ, BLOOMBERGThe light, sweet crude oil contract for May settled above $50/bbl on the New York market Mar. 30 while the May Brent contract settled above $52.90/bbl in London. Prices edged lower on both markets on Mar. 31.

Analysts attributed price gains earlier in the week to a combination of reduced production in Libya and lower US distillates and gasoline inventories.

The oil-price rebound started with reports that militia had tampered with a pipeline from Sharara, an oil field in western Libya, to an export terminal, shutting in production. Libya's crude production dropped to about 500,000 b/d—the lowest since September 2016.

Libya was exempted from production-cut targets by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major producers. The total target is 1.8 million b/d with OPEC members agreeing to account for 1.2 million b/d of that.

Iraq has cut its oil production by more than 300,000 b/d. Iraq's state oil marketing company SOMO reported that Iraq's average production in March was 4.464 million b/d. Iraq's compliance to OPEC's cuts is 90%, SOMO Director Falah al-Amiri told Reuters.
