OPEC Looking to Regain Market Share with Oil Production Increases, Expert Says
GLOBAL, JUL 09 – OPEC+ producers plan a 550,000 bpd increase in September, fully reversing 2.2 million bpd cuts to meet rising global oil demand during peak travel season.
- OPEC+ approved a 548,000 barrels per day production increase for August, following three monthly hikes of 411,000 bpd since May.
- The group had been reducing output by 2.17 million bpd for several years but began reversing these cuts earlier in the year to capitalize on rising global demand and increase their presence in the market.
- UAE Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazrouei said markets have absorbed these increases without inventory builds, indicating oil demand remains robust during peak summer travel.
- Andrew Botterill of Deloitte Canada noted that this move has been anticipated by the market for quite a while and added that the recent price increases have not led to significant changes in pricing.
- OPEC+ plans a further increase in September that could fully restore previous cuts, suggesting the group expects sustained demand and stable market fundamentals.
