A Reuters survey shows total OPEC output fell by 110,000 bpd in November, and the 11 members that cut production reduced output by 1.235 million bpd, equal to 152% compliance. October's estimate was revised up by 90,000 bpd on new data for Iran and Ecuador.
Output falling with compliance above 100 percent supports crude prices by tightening supply. The data is a routine monthly survey whose effect is largely already expected.
