The world's top oil exporter has been maintaining steady supplies to its key consuming region since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, a group known as OPEC+, eased supply cuts from August.

Saudi Arabia's crude exports in October rose for a sixth straight month to 6.833 million bpd, the highest since April 2020, the Joint Organisation Data Initiative (JODI) said in December.
