How does this benefit the UAE?
UAE wants greater control over its own oil production and sales. OPEC quotas function as self-imposed limits on output. This shift could trigger a domino effect among other OPEC members.
If more oil producers countries follow suit, global oil production may rise, leading to lower prices and a market that is less influenced by coordinated supply restrictions.
The zenith of oil is here. Every 2-3 years electrified equipment makes significant leaps in capability that make them viable for more and more use cases in more and more industries. It isn’t going to just happen overnight but the writing is on the wall. Oil will have its place. However, it will no longer be the lynchpin to the world economy. The future is in delivering solutions that can scale efficient power generation, distribution, and storage. These are all things oil represented for the past 150 years. UAE is maximizing its oil production position while the prices are high.
Edit: grammar mistake before my morning coffee.
Damn why would a cartel member leave? It’s crazy the advantage they have by working together to screw over the rest of us
Okay this I did not see coming… If it actually happens it’s going to cause a alot of ripple in the energy market. Good or bad? Hell if I know.
What’s the chances this is just the first domino to fall? I’d imagine OPEC has a stabilizing effect since each member can’t just do whatever it wants, and some nation wanting to go rogue will be reigned in. If it goes well for UAE maybe other members might give it a try.
OPEC+, and by extension OPEC, was dead the moment Russia invaded Ukraine and got sanctioned to the high heavens. (Russia is part of OPEC+). It basically tainted the entire group by its rogue acts.
This is huge right? I am know I am a dunce when it comes to geo oil politics but this seems huge to me
I think its a good sign, the whole OPEC “forced” caps to create scarcity and drive up prices as a result (or atleast control them to what they like it to be) was always bad for the entire world and only good for the OPEC.
So UAE wanna produce more oil without the dumb limits. Thats good for the world, atleast for now.
I think this is less about Saudi Arabia and more about Iran and Russia being in OPEC.
It makes me wonder if there’s something behind the scenes with the Trump Admin/Rubio and their plan for the conflict with Iran.
If true, that would be a major shift for global oil markets. When key producers move independently, it can reshape prices, alliances, and the future balance between energy politics and economic strategy.
Maybe they see the demand for oil crashing so it’s now a case of: every man for himself.
They need to to grab whatever revenues they can – while they can.
In the long run, the high oil prices instigated by OPEC have had the side effect of pushing oil supply to the US.
This is the prime reason why Trump has been able to conduct the war this chaotic way, because the US is energy self sufficient for oil. Sure, prices are higher but there is no concern of shortage. As a result, high oil prices isn’t enough of a deterrent.
Crush oil prices to $65 and US production grinds to a halt. This is good for Middle East stability, because wars like this are once again economic and political suicide.
World wide winner of all of these disruptions…. China !
UAE tourism industry is in the gutter with a long road back to recovery if at all. They now need to lean into their oil industry to keep them afloat.
Isn’t this what Saddam accused Kuwait of/off* (*ugh I’m drinking right now and I’m leaning towards „off“..it should be off lol*) doing? He then complained to the US, assumed they gave him the greenlight to deal with it internally (given their vague response), only for US to join sides with Kuwait and thus lead to the growth of US bases in the ME.
Correct me if I’ve got my facts wrong.
Now the question is up in the air, how would the US react and would Saudi Arabia invade the UAE
It wouldn’t happen overnight, but the UAE has coastal territory beyond the Strait of Hormuz; they could build the infrastructure to allow shipping to skip the Strait any whatever hassles that may entail.
Israel needs oil to remain at the centre of our global economy otherwise the US has no need to have a presence in West Asia and protect them. Have Israel flown too close to the sun this time? I hope so.
When the US dollar collapses thank your magat neighbor. They won’t be able to understand their role in it but still
So Short term:
•cheaper gas
Long term:
•potential chaos in pricing and geopolitics
TL;DR
It’s less about you, more about:
•control
•market share
•long-term positioning
Sounds like a painted picture of a literal game of chess with one coin 😂
Might be a dumb question, but I am curious.
Here in Norway, we have basically the same price for gas and diesel as we did before the Iran war started, partly because the government temporarily cut the tax on gas and diesel. Why dont other governments do the same for their citizens?
Hey sounds like it’s an even better system to implement renewable energy!
Peak oil is upon us and they know it. Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Guess who’s driving for the next few years, The orange asshole lips is at the wheel. Be sure to put your arms up and go „Weeeeeeeeeee!“
My guess is that it’s about the Saudi – UAE rivalry where the Emirates are sick and tired of basically having to follow an OPEC which is basically chaired by KSA
„The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC /ˈoʊpɛk/ OH-pek) is an organization enabling the co-operation of leading oil-producing and oil-dependent countries in order to collectively influence the global oil market and maximize profit.“
Oh so a market manipulating cartel?
Like.. the reason why everbody is dependent on oil?
The reson why we have global warming?
F*ck anybody that was ever a member of OPEC
Heroin makers want to keep you on heroin.
This sounds like a future war just waiting to happen.
Won’t this destabilize the oil market? In a bad way?
This instability along with Trump’s oil shocks will drive any right-thinking country to minimize its dependancy on fossil fuel. Is it possible that this Orange idiot will actually help us fight climate change in the long term?
