The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to increase its oil output starting in April 2025, according to multiple reports. The production increase will be phased in over an extended period of 18 months, doubling the previous nine-month timeline. Additionally, the UAE's required production baseline has been increased by 300,000 barrels per day (kbd), reflecting a significant concession achieved during negotiations. This adjustment aligns the UAE's production schedule with broader OPEC production increases.
