According to Jin10, Vitol CEO said that over the past 7 to 10 days, about 12 million barrels of crude oil and 2 million barrels of refined products a day were shipped from the Middle East to overseas markets. He said at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London that if the Middle East cannot continue to maintain seaborne energy exports of 10 million to 14 million barrels a day, low inventories in Western countries could further destabilize the global energy market as winter approaches. He also warned that if that scale of supply were completely disrupted, international benchmark crude prices could be pushed to $200 per barrel.
