US Asks OPEC Producers To Pump More Oil, Sources Say

The U.S. government has unofficially asked Saudi Arabia and some other OPEC producers to raise oil output, but it has not requested a specific figure, three OPEC and industry sources said June 5. The U.S. request to raise output has been made unofficially from Washington to each of the oil producers rather than to OPEC as a group, the sources said. Earlier on June 5, Bloomberg reported that the U.S. government had asked Saudi Arabia and some other OPEC producers to increase oil production by about 1 million barrels per day.
