Saudi Arabia will report August crude production of 10.424 million b/d, up 136,000 b/d from July's self-reported 10.288 million b/d, according to an OPEC source. The kingdom supplied 10.467 million b/d to market in August.
Saudi Arabia is OPEC's largest producer and the world's largest crude exporter.
Higher Saudi supply, the largest in the group, adds to global crude availability and is bearish for oil prices.
