Oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have recovered to roughly 75% of levels seen before a recent regional conflict, according to a report from TASS citing senior oil, gas and transport analyst Andrey Polishchuk of Euler.
According to Polishchuk's analysis, oil and condensate exports from Persian Gulf nations stood at 15.8 million barrels per day between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil shipping chokepoints, carrying a substantial share of global seaborne crude exports from Gulf producers to markets in Asia, Europe and elsewhere.
The report did not specify the conflict referenced as having initially disrupted exports, nor did it provide a baseline figure for pre-conflict export levels beyond the stated 75% recovery estimate.
A sustained recovery in Hormuz export volumes would be significant for global oil markets, given the strait's outsized role in determining the availability and price of crude supplies reaching international buyers.
