Energy Crisis Warning: Strait of Hormuz Closure Reduces Gulf Output by 11M Barrels Daily

GateNews
According to WoodMackenzie report released on May 20, the long-term closure of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced Gulf crude and condensate output by over 11 million barrels per day, with more than 80 million tons of liquefied natural gas supply per year—roughly 20% of global supply—unable to reach global markets. The energy consultancy identified three scenarios with different timelines for conflict resolution and strait reopening, each assessing impacts on oil and gas supplies, prices, energy demand, and broader economic growth. Peter Martin, the company's chief economist, stated that prolonged closure would extend far beyond an energy crisis, with longer disruptions having escalating effects on energy prices, industrial activity, trade flows, and global economic growth.
