The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has led to notable reductions in oil production among Gulf countries, with output cuts ranging from 25% to 80%.
This situation poses serious implications for global oil supply, particularly as a significant portion of the world's seaborne crude oil trade transits through the Strait of Hormuz.
As these nations adjust their production levels, the architecture of oil supply chains may face increased strain, impacting throughput and capacity across global markets.
