Med crude-Urals diffs steady in quiet trade, OPEC+ output set to rise in July
Jun 2, 2025 12:09 PM

MOSCOW, June 2 (Reuters) - Russian Urals crude oil differentials to dated Brent held

steady again on Monday in quiet trade after eight OPEC+ members decided on Saturday to raise

output by 411,000 barrels per day (bpd) in July, the third straight month of the same increase.

Saudi Arabia and Russia had to reach a difficult compromise on OPEC+ policies on Saturday as

Riyadh pushed to accelerate oil output increases while Moscow argued for a pause, four OPEC+

sources with knowledge of the talks said.

PLATTS WINDOW

* No bids or offers were made for Urals, Azeri BTC or CPC Blend in the Platts window on

Monday.

NEWS

* Kazakhstan's oil production fell 4% in May from April due to lower production from the

Tengiz

oilfield, but remained above the OPEC+ quota, according to an industry source familiar with the

statistics, and Reuters calculations.

* Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) and Azeri state energy company SOCAR said on Monday they signed a deal

agreeing to

explore onshore oil and gas production in Azerbaijan, while BP is expected to buy into new Azeri

offshore fields.
