QatarEnergy has issued a tender to sell crude for July-to-August loading, likely its first since the US-Iran conflict began, trade sources said, Reuters reports.

The producer is offering its al-Shaheen, Marine Qatar and Marine Land crude. Buyers can load or lift via ship-to-ship transfer between Fujairah and Sohar, according to a tender document seen by Reuters.

The tender will close on June 29.

The offer adds to rising supplies from Middle Eastern producers. Iraq’s state oil marketer SOMO issued a tender on Thursday offering to sell Basra Heavy and Basra Medium oil in July.
