OPEC to Raise September Oil Output, Then Pause Further Increases
OPEC plans to approve a production quota increase of about 188,000 barrels per day starting in September, completing the phased rollback of previous supply cuts. After this increase, the group is expected to pause further output hikes for the remainder of the year amid ongoing disruptions from the Middle East conflict and infrastructure challenges in Russia and Gulf countries. Some members, including Iraq, seek higher individual quotas reflecting increased capacity, while overall production remains constrained by capacity declines and geopolitical factors.
