Leading OPEC+ nations have agreed to a minor, symbolic increase in their production quotas for June, thereby demonstrating that the group is operating as usual following the UAE’s unexpected withdrawal, Bloomberg reports.
Seven countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia will add 188,000 barrels per day next month under an agreement reached during a video conference on Sunday, OPEC said in a statement.
Delegates had expected a small increase even before the UAE’s withdrawal. The actual restoration of these volumes will depend on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of production that had been suspended. This occurred following the UAE’s withdrawal from the largest alliance of oil-producing nations.
The country’s flagship oil company, Adnoc, announced that it plans to accelerate its growth plan by allocating 200 billion dirhams ($55 billion) to projects covering operations in both production and refining and marketing.
The UAE’s withdrawal, which came as a surprise to other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners, will further undermine the group’s ability to influence oil prices, which were already weakening due to years of increased production by competitors, particularly U.S. shale companies.
The UAE is not mentioned in the new OPEC+ report.

The draft agenda includes one item—the exclusion of the “Ekran” dormitory building, located at: Odessa, 33a Frantsuzsky Boulevard, from the authorized capital of Odessa Film Studio PJSC. The grounds cited are the entry into force of the decision of the Odessa Regional Court of Appeal dated April 21, 2016, in Case No. 522/8089/14-ts.
The draft resolution proposes to take note of the decision of the Odessa Regional Court of Appeal and the ruling of the Supreme Court dated March 6, 2018, in this case, which invalidated the orders of the State Property Fund of Ukraine regarding the inclusion of the “Ekran” dormitory building in the company’s authorized capital. The announcement notes that in the deed of transfer of the entire property complex dated November 21, 2005, this building was erroneously listed as the “Ekran” hotel. The appraised value of the property is stated at UAH 7.4 million.
Shareholders are also being asked to establish that the further issue of ownership and the legal status of the building should be determined by the authorized state bodies. The company’s director is to be instructed to take the necessary steps to enforce court decisions in coordination with the State Property Fund, if necessary. The draft resolution specifically states that it does not constitute a decision to transfer or dispose of property, and the company’s actions must be limited to technical, accounting, and registration procedures.
