OPEC+ to boost oil production by 548,000 barrels per day in August

SAUDI ARABIA, JUL 07 – OPEC+ plans to boost output by 548,000 barrels a day in August to reclaim market share amid risks of surplus and falling prices, marking a 33% increase from prior hikes.

  • On Saturday, eight key OPEC+ members agreed during a virtual meeting to increase their crude oil output by 548,000 barrels daily starting in August.
  • The increase comes as OPEC+ continues to reverse its voluntary output reductions, supported by favorable economic conditions worldwide and healthy oil stock levels.
  • The group includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman, with Kazakhstan producing above its official quota.
  • Oil futures settled recently near $68.30 for Brent and $66.50 per barrel for WTI, supported by seasonal demand and a 12-day Israel-Iran conflict threatening key routes.
  • This production boost aims to capture market share and accelerate reversal of prior cuts, potentially affecting gas prices despite uncertain future demand.
