UAE’s OPEC+ Exit: Not About Production Limits
Stop with the nonsense about this being some kind of “chicken game.” The facts are straightforward.
Under the OPEC+ Declaration of Cooperation, the UAE’s required production quota for May stands at 3,447 thousand barrels per day (kb/d). Yet in March, they only produced 1,892 kb/d. That’s an under-production of more than 1.5 million barrels per day compared to their target.
The idea that the UAE wanted to raise output but was blocked by OPEC+ is simply wrong. Right now, ramping up production is physically impossible because the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) is closed. If their sole goal was simply to increase volumes, there would be zero need to leave the organization. As long as they can physically deliver the oil, they could raise output significantly while still complying with OPEC+ limits.
The real motivations appear deeper. The UAE seems either determined to join the regional conflict or completely fed up with the cartel’s helplessness — particularly Saudi Arabia’s inaction. While the UAE faced attacks, Riyadh offered no meaningful support. Even when the UAE signaled it might enter the war, the Saudis stayed completely silent. Anyone in the UAE’s position would be furious.
This move reflects frustration with unreliable allies as much as it does with OPEC+ itself.
