OPEC+ set to complete big oil output cut unwinding in Sept, sources say

OPEC+ oil producers are set to approve another big output boost for September as they complete both the unwinding of voluntary production cuts by eight members and the UAE's move to a larger quota, five sources said. The group, which pumps about half of the world's oil, has been curtailing production for several years to support the market. But it has reversed course this year to regain market share and as U.S. President Donald Trump demanded the group pump more to help keep gasoline prices lower. OPEC+ began to unwind cuts of 2.17 million barrels per day (bpd) in April with a boost of 138,000 bpd. Hikes of 411,000 bpd followed in May, June and July, despite falling oil prices. On Saturday, the group approved a 548,000 bpd jump for August. Five sources familiar with the discussions said on Monday the group is likely to approve an increase of around 550,000 bpd for September when it meets on August 3. That will complete the return to the market of 2.17 million bpd from the eight members: Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Kazakhstan and Algeria. It will also complete an additional 300,000 bpd output jump from the UAE as the country moves to a larger production quota, the sources said. The September boost if realised would bring total production increases since April to 2.47 million bpd or just under 2.5% of global demand. The rise would see Saudi Arabia pumping close to 10 million bpd and UAE some 3.375 million bpd. Opec+ has spurred bigger production increases since May, bringing forward the return of its own barrels to the market and effectively allowing the UAE to boost output quicker, returning to the original schedule of September 2025. "As the group has decided to accelerate the unwinding process, the UAE is benefiting from this speeding up of the quota increases," said Richard Bronze from Energy Aspects. OPEC+ still has separate cuts of 3.66 million bpd in place consisting of 1.66 million bpd in voluntary cuts and some 2 million bpd across all members, which expire at the end of 2026.

Radisson targets 150 hotels in Middle East by 2030, majority in Saudi Arabia

Radisson Hotel Group is advancing toward its 2030 goal of reaching 150 properties in the Middle East, with approximately two-thirds of that growth concentrated in Saudi Arabia, according to Basel Talal, Managing Director for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Levant. Talal said the group's growth strategy involves aligning brand offerings with local market dynamics while strengthening relationships with both existing and prospective property owners. 'While we grow our portfolio we ensure to remain focused on our growth strategies that includes offering the right brand for given locations and market dynamics, along with exploring new opportunities with existing and new owners,' he told Zawya Projects. 'Operationally, we ensure to align the returns expectations and delivery with owners' investments by implementing efficient operational business modules that will align quality delivery with costs and profits,' he added. Localisation plans As part of the company's localisation efforts in the Kingdom, Radisson aims to have 35 percent of leadership roles filled by Saudi nationals by 2028. 'Our Saudisation roadmap commits us to 35 per cent Saudi nationals in leadership roles by 2028, supported by tailored programmes in revenue management, engineering and F&B,' Talal said He underlined that 'growth targets are hard numbers, the experience behind them is non-negotiable.' Vision 2030 The group's expansion aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy. 'Saudi Arabia's tourism blueprint calls for brands that can scale quickly without losing sight of authenticity and sustainability. We view that as a partnership, not just a pipeline,' Talal said. Radisson recently signed a Radisson RED hotel in Riyadh's Diriyah area, one of the Kingdom's flagship giga-projects. 'Our Radisson RED Riyadh Diriyah signing anchors us inside one of the Kingdom's flagship cultural giga-projects and brings a design-led, lifestyle brand to the birthplace of the Saudi,' Talal explained. In Madinah, Radisson partnered with Knowledge Economic City to develop a mixed-use Islamic World District anchored by a Park Inn by Radisson. The group signed an MoU with the Saudi Tourism Authority to collaborate on initiatives that includes amplifying the visibility of the 'Visit Saudi' brand across Radisson's global marketing platforms and developing co-branded campaigns that spotlight Saudi Arabia's diverse attractions. 'Each collaboration is structured around Vision 2030 pillars—local job creation, cultural preservation and environmental stewardship. The value we add is measured far beyond room counts,' Talal said. To meet the expectations of Saudi travellers, Radisson has adjusted service offerings across its properties. 'While we also remain flexible to increasing guest expectations, our hotels operational teams ensure to adopt new required services for all guest segments as in religious travellers and local families,' said Talal. 'Most of our hotels have added service offering to better serve families with children. Our hotels in Makkah and Madinah also offers transportation to the holy mosques. In some hotels we do offer meeting space for religious groups while staying at the hotels.' Talal said guest feedback plays a central role in enhancing services. 'We do use our guests' feedback to always remain ahead of market needs and expectations. Our teams are trained to swiftly respond and act proactively, which will improve the overall guests' satisfaction and increase loyalty to the hotels and to the brand.'

Saudi Arabia raises August oil prices for Asia, Europe buyers

Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, has hiked August prices for Asian and European buyers by more than $1 a barrel as domestic crude demand is expected to rise, reducing exports, and consumption from China is likely to increase. State energy firm Saudi Aramco raised the official selling price for its flagship Arab light crude to Asia loading in August to $2.20 a barrel above the Oman/Dubai average, the highest in four month and $1 up from July. The price hike exceeded expectations of 50-80 cents a barrel in a Reuters survey early last week. The kingdom also increased the prices for all crude grades it sells to refiners in Northwest Europe and the Mediterranean by $1.40 a barrel from the previous month. Aramco's price hikes came a day after eight Opec+ members agreed to raise production by 548,000 barrels per day in August, higher than the 411,000 bpd expected by the market, further accelerating output increases. The prices reflect higher crude demand in Saudi Arabia to meet peak summer power demand while buying appetite from Chinese refineries is strong as some of them lifted less volumes in previous months, two refining sources in Asia said. Analysts are expecting Saudi Arabia to burn more crude oil this summer for power generation, limiting exports. The OSPs for Asian supplies were expected to rise for August as the premium of benchmark cash Dubai to swaps averaged $1.88 a barrel in June, up 61 cents from the May average. The conflict between Iran and Israel last month boosted Middle East crude prices on fears of supply disruptions, increasing volatility in the market. Cash Dubai's premium to swaps jumped to a near four-month peak of $3.34 on June 19 before closing the month at $2.73.
