left\"><strong>Can the region store what it can\u2019t ship?<\/strong> Early in the war, the focus was on whether Gulf producers could keep energy supplies flowing as LNG and crude exports faced mounting disruption, facilities were stranded, and output was curtailed. Today, the concern is different. Production can restart and cargoes can be readied, but if Hormuz remains closed, the critical question becomes one of storage rather than supply: Where will the region put its oil and LNG when it has nowhere to send them?<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The model is built for flow, not gridlock<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The Gulf\u2019s production system was not initially designed for a prolonged export <\/strong><strong>disruption. <\/strong>\u201cProducers of crude oil and condensates in the Gulf region typically have limited need for large storage capacity beyond what is required for logistical purposes,\u201d global oil markets strategist and former Onyx Group head of research Harry Tchilinguirian tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Storage serves a logistical, not a strategic, role: <\/strong>Most onshore tanks are designed to manage routine operational fluctuations \u2014 smoothing the flow of crude between production fields, gathering facilities, and export terminals, or accommodating temporary reductions in throughput during maintenance periods, Tchilinguirian says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Short-term disruptions are manageable: <\/strong>Producers can absorb temporary bottlenecks by drawing on onshore storage and, when necessary, floating storage. \u201cDelays in deliveries or changes in volume can be managed through adjustments in onshore \u2014 and, at times, floating \u2014 storage,\u201d Tchilinguirian notes. That provides a degree of flexibility, but only for disruptions measured in days or weeks rather than months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The larger buffer sits with consumers:<\/strong> The situation differs markedly for refiners and importing countries, which typically maintain significantly larger inventories. Their supply chains are more exposed to interruptions, and refineries must continue operating through shipping delays, infrastructure outages, geopolitical disruptions, civil unrest, and even discretionary Opec+ production cuts. As a result, strategic stockpiles and commercial inventories tend to be concentrated on the consuming side of the market rather than at the production source.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The bottleneck moves upstream fast: \u201c<\/strong>When producers are unable to deliver crude to customers \u2014 as is the case in the current US-Iran conflict, given the effective closure of Hormuz \u2014 crude accumulates in storage, which can quickly reach capacity. Production is then curtailed at the wellhead,\u201d Tchilinguirian argues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The buffer map is uneven<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Not all Gulf producers face the same level of exposure: <\/strong>Saudi Arabia and the UAE retain partial alternatives to Hormuz through export infrastructure on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Saudi crude can be redirected to Yanbu via the East-West pipeline, while the UAE can ship volumes through Fujairah. But those alternatives \u201coffer limited offsets in view of the volumes typically exported from terminals in the Persian Gulf,\u201d Tchilinguirian says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Saudi Arabia has the region\u2019s strongest fallback option: <\/strong>Riyadh's principal hedge is the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/03\/12\/the-disruption-in-hormuz-is-giving-the-red-sea-a-second-chance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East-West pipeline<\/a> \u2014 which, with a capacity widely estimated at around 7 mn bbl \/ d, gives Saudi Arabia the largest ability in the region to bypass Hormuz, though it still cannot fully replace all Gulf export flows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Fujairah<\/strong><strong> remains the UAE\u2019s pressure valve: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi already <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/05\/19\/adnoc-set-to-fast-track-west-east-pipeline-expansion-as-it-braces-for-supply-chain-disruptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">operates<\/a> the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline, which can transport around 1.8 mn bbl \/ d directly to Fujairah, outside the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE is also advancing plans for a new West-East pipeline that would roughly double export capacity through Fujairah by 2027, further reducing its dependence on the strait.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Oman benefits from geography: <\/strong>Oman\u2019s main crude export terminal at Mina Al Fahal gives the Sultanate a structural advantage over Gulf-facing exporters, Welligence Energy Analytics MENA analyst Eric Soosay tells EnterpriseAM. Oman\u2019s longstanding neutral relationship with Tehran has also helped shield it from deeper escalation, although risks remain. However, early-March attacks on Duqm and Salalah underscored that even exporters outside Hormuz are not entirely insulated from regional instability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Iraq and Kuwait have borne the brunt of the disruption: <\/strong>Without meaningful alternatives to Hormuz, both countries have been significantly more exposed. \u201cIraq and Kuwait have therefore been more immediately affected,\u201d Tchilinguirian says. Iraq\u2019s southern production fell sharply as storage capacity tightened and export routes were cut off, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/iraq-oil-output-further-plunges-storage-fills-hormuz-exports-blocked-by-conflict-2026-03-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropping<\/a> to around 800k bbl \/ d from roughly 4.3 mn bbl \/ d before the conflict. Exports through Hormuz in April <a href=\"https:\/\/boereport.com\/2026\/05\/17\/iraq-exported-10-million-barrels-of-oil-through-strait-of-hormuz-in-april\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">totaled<\/a> only 10 mn barrels, compared with a pre-war monthly average of around 93 mn barrels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>In Kuwait, the storage countdown was measured in days:<\/strong> The country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.argusmedia.com\/en\/news-and-insights\/latest-market-news\/2798127-kuwait-cuts-crude-output-after-hormuz-disruption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exported<\/a> roughly 1.9 mn bbl \/ d of crude and 860k bbl \/ d of refined products through Hormuz in 2025. JPMorgan estimated Kuwait had only around two weeks before storage constraints would force production cuts.

These vessels effectively extend Iran\u2019s storage capacity and delay the point at which production cuts become unavoidable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The offshore tanker queue is growing: <\/strong>As US restrictions have tightened export controls, Iran has increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/05\/21\/today-uk-and-gcc-seal-multi-bn-pound-agreement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relied<\/a> on aging tankers anchored in the Gulf to store unsold crude.

The US has emerged as the main relief valve for replacement barrels, with Nigeria and Norway also becoming key suppliers alongside broader West African flows that are helping close the gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Is Europe buying time or solving the problem?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Europe\u2019s refiners are stretching every barrel:<\/strong> Spain\u2019s Repsol has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ceaaff8e-719f-4fa6-b64f-491c05fb2fcc?syn-25a6b1a6=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised<\/a> jet fuel production for the coming months by 20-25% y-o-y by reconfiguring its refineries to increase kerosene yields, while Portugal\u2019s Galp is also maximizing output.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>But higher output doesn\u2019t remove Europe\u2019s structural exposure. <\/strong>The Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/centreforaviation.com\/analysis\/reports\/europes-airlines-face-jun-2026-jet-fuel-shortages-if-strait-of-hormuz-stays-closed-743448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">key supply center for northwest Europe<\/a> \u2014 still sources roughly half of its jet fuel imports through Hormuz-linked flows, after inventories had already fallen to a six-year low by mid-April.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Strategic reserves have also bought time, not immunity. <\/strong>The International Energy Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-war-europe-jet-fuel-flight-cancellations-birol-6e67fafd493861b3858de5548aa77703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned<\/a> in April that Europe had \u201cmaybe six weeks\u201d of jet fuel cover left and noted in mid-May that commercial inventories were depleting rapidly, even after strategic reserve releases added 2.5 mn bbl \/ d to the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Our take:<\/strong> The immediate shortage risk has eased, but the real test is whether Europe\u2019s replacement supply system can hold through peak summer travel demand if Middle Eastern disruptions persist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why it matters<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Airlines may have enough fuel to fly, but not at yesterday\u2019s economics.<\/strong> Ryanair has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2026\/may\/18\/ryanair-jet-fuel-shortage-fare-rises-book-flights-higher-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signaled<\/a> that Europe is now better stocked thanks to shipments from West Africa, Norway, and the Americas, while cautioning that fuel remains a cost problem and that sustained high prices could push unit costs higher despite hedging. EasyJet has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/268bf01d-545e-4245-a5c7-5c00c053df10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flagged<\/a> an additional GBP 200 mn in summer fuel costs, with spot prices far above its normal levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Gulf <\/strong><strong>supply remains the hardest gap to replace. <\/strong>Europe can source more jet fuel from a broader range of suppliers, but those alternative flows still only partially fill a Gulf-sized hole in the market.
