The UAE\u2019s exit from Opec would mark a decisive shift toward an independent, state-driven oil strategy,\u201d MENA economist <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/4\/1459.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamzeh Al Gaaod<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/4\/1459.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writes in a note (pdf)<\/a> shared with EnterpriseAM. This allows the country to leverage its position as a supplier of some of the world\u2019s lowest-cost barrels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">A well-timed exit?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The market already is distorted: <\/strong>\u201cNow, is probably the least damaging time to announce it \u2014 oil prices are high, \u2060and there are genuine shortages because of Hormuz closure,\u201d Carnegie\u2019s Sergey Vakulenko told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/view-uae-leave-opec-opec-oil-producer-groups-2026-04-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>. He added that even \u201cafter Hormuz reopens, there will be elevated demand as countries will be replenishing reserves that were drawn down since February, \u2060so prices will stay high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The situation points to what could become a broader \u201cgovernance coordination break <\/strong><strong>simultaneously<\/strong>,\u201d Lehmacher tells us, even as the near-term market reality suggests limited immediate impact. \u201cThe prospect of the UAE pumping more oil is somewhat moot at present given the near-complete cessation in flows through Hormuz,\u201d Capital Economics\u2019 Chief Climate and Commodities Economist David Oxley writes in a note seen by EnterpriseAM. Markets are also still catching up to the disruption itself, with a clear pricing lag: \u201cCrude markets are currently still factoring in the Hormuz closure before they can fully price the UAE leaving Opec,\u201d Schmit adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The \u201cimmediate\u201d impact of the UAE\u2019s exit is likely to be muted<\/strong>, Mazrouei adds. Still, \u201cthe timing of this decision, in the context of the ongoing disruptions, will no doubt leave many perplexed,\u201d global oil markets strategist and former head of research at Onyx group Harry Tchilinguirian tells EnterpriseAM, with the deeper concern centering on system resilience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why? It\u2019s breaking out of the quota box<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The rupture has been building for some time: <\/strong>Policy divergence between the region\u2019s two power centers \u2014 Abu Dhabi and Riyadh \u2014 over production strategy has steadily widened, and this exit turns that drift into a clean break(up). \u201cThe outcome has likely long been in the making,\u201d Tchilinguirian says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Even Opec\u2019s shift toward capacity-based quotas<\/strong> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/12\/08\/opecs-new-capacity-audit-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designed<\/a> to better align targets with real production \u2014 has failed to bridge the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/11\/06\/today-cold-chain-maker-cgs-is-on-tadawul-ceva-logistics-acquisition-of-borusan-tedarik-is-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gap<\/a> between the UAE\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2024\/06\/03\/opec-extends-supply-cuts-granting-the-uae-a-higher-production-quota-for-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expanding capacity<\/a> and the limits imposed by the system. The UAE has been planning to ramp up production by as much as 30%, something that doesn\u2019t fit neatly inside Opec\u2019s quota system, Vakulenko adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>\u201cBy exiting Opec, the UAE could increase production beyond its current <\/strong><strong>quota <\/strong>\u2014 potentially achieving a capacity closer to 4.8 mn barrels per day,\u201d Al Gaaod adds. Once flows normalize, the country could feasibly add nearly 1 mn bbl \/ d \u2014 roughly 1% of global demand, with production rising gradually as conditions stabilize, particularly after normalization of energy flows through Hormuz, Schmit adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>There\u2019s also a deeper market-structure play behind the exit<\/strong>: \u201cIn previous Opec meetings, agreed upward changes with Saudi Arabia to the UAE\u2019s production baseline level and quota were a short-term fix to a larger, long-term issue \u2014 namely, the UAE\u2019s expanding production capacity to provide the necessary liquidity for the physically deliverable IFAD Murban futures contract,\u201d Tchilinguirian highlights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What does this mean?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Outside Opec, the UAE gains the freedom to increase output<\/strong> \u2014 and the incentive to do so \u2014 which could reshape supply dynamics once the current disruption cycle fades, Vakulenko said. This has implications for internal dynamics: without the UAE inside the tent, Saudi Arabia is left carrying more of the burden alone, raising questions about how long it can continue to act as the market\u2019s swing producer without internal alignment, Rystad Energy\u2019s Jorge Leon told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>At the same time, capacity constraints become more visible: <\/strong>Iran and Iraq have little meaningful spare capacity \u2014 which means Opec\u2019s ability to smooth supply imbalances is directly weakened without the UAE in the mix, Vakulenko adds. That makes coordination more critical: \u201cMost participants lack excess capacity and need pooled coordination as protection against volatility they cannot absorb individually,\u201d Lehmacher notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>This feeds directly into the volatility outlook: <\/strong>A structurally weaker Opec points to a potentially more volatile oil market once current disruptions ease, as the group\u2019s ability to manage supply diminishes, Leon says. Market behavior is already shifting in response: \u201cWhen both transit infrastructure and governance protocols fail, operators shift from spot exposure to long-term contracted capacity with built-in resilience premiums,\u201d Lehmacher adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The upshot: <\/strong>\u201cThe main market impact would be a significant reduction in Opec\u2019s influence over oil prices and coordination of output,\u201d Al Gaaod says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What\u2019s next<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>\u201cIf other producers begin prioritizing market share over quota discipline<\/strong>, Opec\u2019s ability to manage orderly markets through coordinated supply adjustments may increasingly be called into question,\u201d Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said in a research note seen by EnterpriseAM. If discipline erodes too far, the group\u2019s capacity to shape the market shifts from enforcement to mere signaling. \u201cThis could be the thin end of the wedge if it triggers further disintegration of the group,\u201d Oxley adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What follows may be a shift in how the market operates: <\/strong>The next phase of the oil market may be less about coordination and more about competition: Monitor how the UAE manages its production \u2014 and whether Saudi Arabia adjusts its strategy to compensate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The great system rewrite:<\/strong> \u201cWhile the UAE could potentially rejoin Opec if market conditions stabilize, such a departure would signal more than a temporary adjustment. It would represent a fundamental transformation in both energy strategy and geopolitical alignment, with profound implications for the structure and stability of global oil markets,\u201d Al Gaaod adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next phase of the oil market may be less about coordination and
