SINGAPORE: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has restored most of the Murban crude oil supply going to equity holders in July after making a sharp cut earlier, multiple trade sources said on Thursday.
During the Israel-Iran conflict last month, ADNOC notified equity holders that it would cut their Murban crude supply by 3 million to 4 million barrels in July, the sources said.
Most of these volumes have since been restored, they said.
ADNOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It was not immediately clear what led to these changes.
