LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The following table shows crude oil output by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in millions of barrels per day (bpd) in February and January, based on a Reuters survey published on Tuesday. OPEC and allies, known as OPEC+, agreed to cut their output target by 2 million barrels per day from last November through 2023. As part of this, the 10 OPEC members bound by the deal have a target to produce 25.416 million bpd. According to the survey, they boosted output by 90,000 bpd in February to 24.54 million bpd, or about 880,000 bpd below the target. Total OPEC output rose by 150,000 bpd. January output was revised down by 50,000 bpd after changes to the estimate for Iraq. The figures in the first, second and fourth columns in the table are in millions of barrels per day.

R = Revised Totals are rounded and may not add. Compliance is calculated by the following method in the table above: Baseline for cut minus February output = cut achieved. Cut achieved divided by pledged cut = percentage compliance. Iran, Libya and Venezuela are exempt from making voluntary output cuts. The Reuters survey aims to assess crude supply to market, defined to exclude movements to, but not sales from, storage. Saudi and Kuwaiti data includes the Neutral Zone. Venezuelan data includes upgraded synthetic oil. Nigerian crude output includes the Agbami and Egina streams and excludes Akpo condensate.
