Ölförderung: Opec plus einigt sich wohl auf höhere Ölförderziele
Die Ölförderorganisation hat ihre Quoten seit Beginn des Iran-Krieges monatlich angehoben. Nun will sie ihre Förderziele ab September offenbar um 188.000 Barrel pro Tag erhöhen.
In the midst of a supply crisis sparked by Iran's war, Opec plus appears to have agreed on higher oil output targets. The organization plans to increase production by approximately 188,000 barrels per day, which is equivalent to 159 liters, starting in September. The seven members of Opec plus announced this decision after their online meeting.
According to analysts, raising the upper limit does not automatically mean more oil will reach the global market. Major producers like Saudi Arabia did not reach their allocated maximum production in recent months, primarily due to the partial blockade of the crucial Hormuz Strait, through which a significant portion of Saudi oil must be transported.
Opec, based in Vienna, coordinates the oil production quotas of its members to control prices on the world market. Since the initial US and Israeli attacks on Iran at the end of February, the price for a barrel of Brent crude has risen by about 26 percent, currently standing at around 88 dollars (about 75 euros). Iran retaliated against the attacks, in part, by blocking the important seaway.
