Amin Nasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco, has expressed concerns regarding the recovery of the global oil market, stating that it may not stabilize until 2027 due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz caused by the ongoing conflict with Iran. The energy sector has suffered a loss of approximately 1 billion barrels of oil supply, with current losses estimated at 100 million barrels per week as long as shipping routes remain compromised. Nasser emphasized that the energy supply shock is unprecedented, exacerbated by years of underinvestment in the sector. In response to the crisis, Aramco has increased the utilization of its East-West pipeline, which can transport up to 7 million barrels of oil per day, helping to alleviate some supply issues. The pipeline's capacity includes 2 million barrels destined for domestic refineries and 5 million barrels available for exports. The situation underscores the critical importance of reliable energy supply for global economies.
