Middle East oil exports hit highest level since February conflict
Middle East crude oil exports reached 12.8 million barrels per day in September, the highest level since the onset of the conflict involving Iran in February. This recovery is driven largely by increased shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which are expected to hit 7.4 million barrels per day this month.
Saudi Arabia has seen a significant surge in exports, with total output expected to reach approximately 5.4 million barrels per day in September, up from 2.4 million in August. Notably, shipments from the Ras Tanura terminal rose to 3.6 million barrels per day, compared to 929,000 in August. This follows the redirection of some exports from the Yanbu port on the Red Sea due to damage to the East-West pipeline.
Despite the recovery, regional exports remain roughly 6 million barrels per day lower than the 18.8 million barrels per day recorded in February. Geopolitical tensions continue to influence market stability. While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed openness to diplomacy, U.S. President Donald Trump rejected a recent Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting maritime blockades and oil sanctions.
