OPEC+ moves meeting to Saturday amid output hike forecasts: Report
The OPEC+ members decided to bring forward their meeting to next Saturday instead of Sunday, Asharq Business reported. The meeting will bring together the eight-member alliance, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Oman, Algeria, and Russia, to discuss production policy for August, amid expectations of a 411,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) increase. If approved, this would mark the fourth consecutive production hike, bringing the total output hike since the start of the year to approximately 1.78 million bpd, or more than 1.5% of global demand. Following the meeting, OPEC+ members and top industry leaders are expected to gather in Vienna for the 9th International Seminar on July 10, where the 19th edition of OPEC's World Oil Outlook report will be released.

Petro Rabigh completes HOFCC maintenance, resumes operations
Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Co. (Petro Rabigh) completed, on July 3, the periodic maintenance and the resumption of operations at the high olefins fluid catalytic cracker (HOFCC) unit. Additional time was needed to complete comprehensive periodic maintenance work on the unit and restarting it, the company said in a statement to Tadawul. The financial impact of this suspension of comprehensive and scheduled periodic maintenance work on all operating facilities and production units at the company's complex cannot be accurately estimated at the present time and will be reflected in the financial results for the second quarter of 2025, the statement added. Petro Rabigh announced in June it completed the periodic maintenance and the resumption of operations of the facilities and production units, with the exception of HOFCC, which requires additional time to complete the comprehensive periodic maintenance and resume operations, Argaam reported.
