Saudi Aramco Lifted 2015 Output To Record -- May 28, 2016; Saudi Aramco Increased Crude Oil Exports 2% Year-Over-Year

Rigzone/Bloomberg is reporting these data points:

• produced at an all-time high last year (2015)
• kept reserves unchanged; 261.1 billion bbls
• "maintains an oil-production capacity of 12 million bopd"
• produced 10.2 million, up from 9.5 million in 2014
• a 7% increase; 700,000 bopd increase
• the company will announce its restructuring plans within six months
• will launch IPO by end of 2018
• exported 2.6 billion bbls in 2015, up from 2.54 billion bopd in 2014 (2% increase)
• exported 7.1 million bopd in 2015
• exports to Asian markets increased "substantially"
• India: jumped 18%
• China: grew 4.5%
• US: flat at 1 million bopd
• Baltic: expanded, new markets; spot cargo to customers from storage facilities in Okinawa and Rotterdam
• refining: 3.1 million bopd, unchanged from 2014; capacity was 5.4 million
• seeks to double its refining capacity to 8 - 10 million bopd

When they say they increased exports to Asian markets "substantially," note that total global exports increased a paltry 2% year-over-year; it helps put "substantially" in context.
