Exclusive-UAE’s ADNOC buys millions of barrels of Iraqi crude, sources say
The UAE producer is processing much of the crude at home to free more of its own barrels for export, Reuters sources said.
- Abu Dhabi National Oil Co has purchased millions of barrels of discounted crude from Iraq's state oil firm SOMO, expanding its trading role amid Iran war supply disruptions, according to Reuters.
- Iraq's crude exports face severe constraints due to the war, leaving barrels exposed to Persian Gulf disruptions, while the UAE can transport oil via pipelines to Fujairah, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
- For September, ADNOC agreed to purchase 40 million barrels of Iraqi crude, including 10 million at an $18 discount and 30 million at $25 off, processing much of this oil at its Ruwais refinery.
- Steep discounts on Iraqi crude have drawn other buyers including PetroChina, TotalEnergies, and Vitol, though export constraints limited ADNOC's actual August liftings to about 20 million barrels.
- Meanwhile, UAE crude exports have risen to 3.236 million bpd in September from 2.871 million in July, as Iraq aims to raise production to between 8 million and 10 million bpd within six years.
