What the source says

The combined disruption in these three regions means the world is processing roughly 5 million fewer barrels of crude oil per day than it was a year ago — almost 10% of global supply.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 5 million barrels per day is directly attested in the quoted passage (The world has lost almost 10% of its fuel-making capacity).

The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
