Oil shipments from the Persian Gulf exceeded pre-war levels

Daily crude oil shipments from the Gulf countries exceeded pre-war levels toward the end of September. The gradual recovery of Middle Eastern raw materials is reported by Reuters, citing data from Kpler.

High rates were recorded, in particular, on September 24 and 27-29, experts specified. On these days, daily shipments amounted to about 19.5-22.5 million barrels.

Before the start of the US-Iran war, average daily regional oil exports were estimated at approximately 18 million barrels. Thus, the result achieved in the second half of September was 1.5-4.5 million higher than the pre-war level, analysts concluded.

We are talking about shipments of raw materials through the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, as well as exports from terminals and transshipment of cargo from ship to ship in the Gulf of Oman. The increase in oil exports from the war-torn region is recorded against the background of an increase in supplies from Saudi Arabia after the normalization of transit through the East-West pipeline.
