* The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) has released its latest production report which shows that crude oil production in Venezuela in October reached 1.17m barrels per day (bpd), 3.3% less than in September. According to the Opec report, Venezuela’s October production figures are 39% lower than the average monthly production of 1.9m bpd registered in 2017.
