Exporturile de petrol din Golful Persic au ajuns la nivelurile de dinaintea războiului dintre SUA și Iran
Oil exports from the Middle East through the Strait of Hormuz have rebounded to pre-war levels by the end of September, according to analyses by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. This recovery follows significant disruptions in global oil supply due to the conflict between Iran and the United States. Producers have found alternative transport methods, and U.S. military escorts continue for some vessels. However, refined product flows remain limited, causing price increases. In September, 16.5 million barrels per day left the Gulf region, matching pre-war averages. Approximately 40% of oil is now transported via Saudi and Emirati pipelines, up from 17% before the war. Despite the normalization of crude oil deliveries, refined products are still at half of pre-war levels, keeping Brent oil prices high due to affected refining infrastructure and ongoing risks.
