LONDON — The war in the Middle East is creating the biggest oil supply disruption in the history of the global market, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday (March 12), a day after the agency agreed to release a record volume of oil from strategic stockpiles.
Middle East Gulf countries have cut total oil production by at least 10 million bpd — a volume equal to almost 10 per cent of world demand — as a result of the conflict, the agency said in its latest monthly oil market report. Without a rapid restart of shipping flows, these losses are set to increase, IEA said. https://www.asiaone.com/world/world-faces-largest-ever-oil-supply-disruption-middle-east-war-iea-says
