Strait of Hormuz Crisis Impacts Global Oil and Gas Supply
- Supply Reduction Impact: The disruption in the Strait of Hormuz has removed nearly 13 million barrels per day from global oil supply, which is over 10% of worldwide consumption, potentially forcing consumers to confront a reality of insufficient oil and gas supply, thereby impacting economic activity.
- U.S. Production Growth Expectations: Despite the ongoing conflict, a survey by the Dallas Fed indicates that industry leaders expect U.S. oil production to grow modestly by 250,000 barrels per day by the end of 2026 and 500,000 barrels per day in 2027, which would only cover about 2% and 4% of the supply gap, respectively.
- Market Reaction: As of now, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures are down nearly 4%, hovering around $90.31 per barrel, while Brent crude futures have fallen about 3% to around $93.87, with major U.S. oil stocks like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) declining about 1% in pre-market trading on Wednesday.
- Economic Consequences Warning: Logan warned that the economic consequences of reduced energy consumption will depend on the extent to which users can switch to alternative energy sources, and if shipping through the Strait does not soon return to pre-war levels, global oil and gas consumption may need to fall more significantly.
