Colombia said it produced an average of 1.01 million barrels of oil per day in January, marking the first time that average crude output for a month surpassed the one million-barrel mark that the government had set as a target for the country's oil industry.
Last month's figure was more than 7 percent higher than the 944,000 barrels a day produced in January 2012, the Mines and Energy Ministry said.
For all of 2012, average oil output stood at 940,000 barrels of oil per day, which represents a 3.16 percent increase from 2011.
