Iraq said it could quickly normalize crude oil exports if shipments through the Strait of Hormuz resume, raising the prospect that supply disruptions could ease.
According to Walter Bloomberg on the 6th (local time), an official at the Basra Oil Company said that if transport through the Strait of Hormuz is restored, crude exports could recover to about 3.4 million barrels a day within a week.
Iraq is one of the major oil producers, with crude exports centered on the southern Basra region. It is currently in a state where export volumes have been affected by disruptions to maritime transport.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered a key route for global crude shipments. Whether transport through the corridor returns to normal is directly linked to the recovery of oil supply from the Middle East.
The market views the situation in the Strait of Hormuz as a major variable that could affect volatility in international oil prices. Attention is focused on when maritime transport will resume and how quickly exports will recover.
