The United Arab Emirates boosted crude oil production by 80% in June 2026 compared to the previous month, following its exit from OPEC to escape production quotas. According to OPEC data, the UAE pumped 3.81 million barrels per day in June, an increase of 1.64 million barrels per day from May. This surge allows the UAE to bring oil to market on its own terms. In February 2026, before the war, output stood at 3.42 million barrels per day. The article also notes that supply from producers outside the wider OPEC+ group is expected to rise by 640,000 barrels per day this year.
