Angola's gross revenues from export of oil totalled USD 6.73 billion, with the sale of 97.998 million barrels of crude oil during the second quarter of this year, a rise of 0.11 percent against the first three months of the year.

The volume exported was around 1.77 million barrels per day, valued at an average weighted price of USD 68.625 per barrel, according to figures published Thursday by the Ministry for Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas.

Compared to the first quarter of the same period, export volumes were down 13.89 percent.

The results of oil and gas exports in the period under review were presented by the Secretary of State for Petroleum, José Barroso, who noted the rise in price to around USD 70, which was influenced by the OPEC+ production cuts, the recovery of the global economy, the increase in demand at a world level, as well as the global Covid-19 vaccination action.
