Opec+ 8 to agree new May output increase: Update 2
Opec+ 8 to agree new May output increase: Update 2
Updates with more details, context Dubai, 6 April (Argus) — The eight core Opec+ members today agreed to raise their collective production target by 206,000 b/d in May, despite the conflict in the Mideast Gulf disrupting the group's supplies. The increase will match levels the eight countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria, Russia, Kazakhstan and Oman — agreed to for April at its last meeting on 1 March, and comes as part of a process the group began in April 2025 to unwind 1.65mn b/d of production cuts. That 1 March meeting came one day after the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran, triggering a war that has now entered its sixth week. Tehran has been responding to US and Israeli strikes on military, industrial and civilian infrastructure by launching missiles and drones against targets in Israel and across the Mideast Gulf. Energy facilities and installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE and Iraq have been targeted by Iranian drones in just the past 24 hours . Iran has also threatened commercial vessels traveling through the strait of Hormuz, severely disrupting what is typically around 15mn b/d of crude flows. Some traffic is now being allowed through by Iran, but the slowdown in flows has forced key Mideast Gulf producers, including Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, to significantly curtail production. Argus estimates crude production from these four countries has fallen by a combined 9.15mn b/d versus February levels. Until the disruption through the strait is addressed, the group of eight will struggle to translate decisions to raise production targets into actual production increases. Reflecting on the conflict in the Mideast Gulf, the group of eight "expressed concern regarding attacks on energy infrastructure, noting that restoring damaged energy assets to full capacity is both costly and takes a long time, thereby affecting overall supply availability," according to a joint statement. They stressed that any actions undermining energy supply security, be they attacks on infrastructure or disruption of international maritime routes, increase market volatility. The group of eight will next meet on 3 May. By Nader Itayim and Bachar Halabi Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026. Argus Media group .

US rescues F-15 fighter pilots in Iran: Update
US rescues F-15 fighter pilots in Iran: Update
Updates with details, threat from President Donald Trump Singapore, 5 April (Argus) — US forces have rescued two aircrew members after their fighter jet was shot down over Iran on 3 April, averting a high-profile prisoner-of-war crisis that could have injected fresh uncertainty into the US-Israeli war against Tehran. The second airman was rescued by the US military late on Saturday, a day after the other pilot was found, US president Donald Trump said in a social media post. The injured crew member, a colonel, was located "behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies," Trump said. The first airman had been retrieved "in broad daylight," Trump said in a second post, after what appears to have been a seven-hour manhunt. Trump plans to hold a press conference on Monday to discuss the rescue. Iran shot down the F-15 fighter jet on 3 April and also caused the crash of an A-10 attack aircraft near the strait of Hormuz on the same day, according to reports. But Trump's euphoria over the rescue efforts was short-lived. Just moments after posting about the successful mission, he reiterated threats to attack Iran's infrastructure this week if Tehran does not allow for safe passage through the strait of Hormuz. "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," Trump wrote. "There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." Iran on Saturday said it would exempt neighboring Iraq from restrictions on vessel passage through the strait. A Suezmax class tanker loaded in Basrah, Iraq, in early March crossed the strait of Hormuz on or around Sunday.

Opec+ 8 to agree new May output increase: Update
Adds May output hike of 206,000 b/d, in line with April levels Dubai, 5 April (Argus) — The eight core Opec+ members scheduled to meet today to discuss May output policy have agreed on a production increase in line with April, delegate sources told Argus , despite conflict in the Mideast Gulf disrupting the group's supplies. The eight core Opec+ members will agree to another 206,000 b/d output increase for May, the delegate sources said. More importantly, they will discuss current market conditions related to the ongoing war in the Mideast Gulf and are expected to offer "clarifications" to markets, sources added. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Russia, the UAE, Algeria, Oman and Kazakhstan agreed on 1 March to raise their collective crude production ceiling by 206,000 b/d in April. The increase is part of a process the group began in April 2025 to unwind a large set of production cuts. That meeting came a day after the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran, and before Tehran moved to block trade routes through the strait of Hormuz, limiting oil flows to global markets from the world's most critical waterway, which typically handles around 15mn b/d of crude supply. This has pushed Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to either reduce production or shut in volumes entirely, with Kuwait declaring force majeure on oil exports. Production from these four countries — all part of the Opec+ core group — is estimated to have fallen by a combined 9.15mn b/d, according to Argus assessments, versus February levels.

Dubai, 5 April (Argus) — The eight core Opec+ members scheduled to meet today to discuss May output policy have agreed on a production increase but are still discussing the volume, delegate sources told Argus , despite conflict in the Mideast Gulf disrupting the group's supplies. "Another increase in production is being agreed," the delegate sources said, adding that the volume is "not fully decided yet." Asked where the increase would come from, given production cuts across Mideast Gulf producers following Iran's shutdown of the strait of Hormuz, a source said: "It will come." Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Russia, the UAE, Algeria, Oman and Kazakhstan agreed on 1 March to raise their collective crude production ceiling by 206,000 b/d in April.
