OPEC-related crude oil flows to the United States ticked up in the latest reading, with the OPEC Crude Oil Production Congo (Barrel) indicator for the U.S. rising from 0.27 million to 0.28 million barrels. The updated figure, dated 09 November 2026, signals a modest increase in the volume associated with Congo’s OPEC crude in the U.S. data.
Although the change is incremental, the move from 0.27M to 0.28M barrels may reflect subtle adjustments in supply patterns or purchasing behavior linked to OPEC-related sources. Market participants will be watching subsequent updates to see whether this uptick is the start of a more sustained trend in U.S. intake of Congo-associated OPEC crude or simply a short-term fluctuation in the country’s broader oil supply mix.
