Produksi minyak OPEC merosot sebanyak 830.000 barel per hari pada bulan April, mencapai 20,04 juta bpd—terendah dalam lebih dari 20 tahun. Gangguan ekspor akibat konflik Iran dan krisis Selat Hormuz menjadi faktor kunci. Kuwait mengalami penurunan paling tajam setelah sebulan penuh ekspor terhenti, sementara Arab Saudi dan Irak juga mengurangi produksi. UAE meningkatkan output dengan mengirim minyak melalui rute yang menghindari Hormuz, dan Venezuela serta Libya juga meningkatkan produksi. Penurunan keseluruhan ini terjadi meskipun OPEC+ berencana untuk meningkatkan output pada bulan April, karena konflik tersebut menghalangi kuota pasokan yang lebih tinggi.
