Gulf Oil Producers Lose $15.1 Billion as Strait of Hormuz Disruption Hits Energy Trade

Financial reports aur energy analytics firm Kpler ke estimates ke mutabiq, US–Iran conflict ke shuru hone ke baad Gulf ke oil aur gas producers ko lagbhag $15.1 billion ka revenue loss hua hai.

Iska sabse bada reason Strait of Hormuz ka almost band ho jana bataya ja raha hai.

Analysts ke mutabiq is chokepoint se normally global oil supply ka lagbhag 20% guzarta hai.

Conflict ki wajah se tanker traffic sharply gir gaya hai aur daily shipments mein kareeb $1.2 billion ke oil aur gas exports ruk gaye hain.

Reports ke mutabiq sabse zyada nuksan Saudi Arabia ko hua hai jiska revenue loss lagbhag $4.5 billion tak pahunch gaya hai.

Gulf ke doosre exporters jaise Qatar, Kuwait aur United Arab Emirates bhi supply disruption se affected hain.

Ek interview mein Qatar ke energy minister ne bhi warning di hai ke agar conflict lamba chalta hai to LNG contracts par “force majeure” declare karne ki situation ban sakti hai.

Iska matlab hai companies temporary taur par supply obligations fulfill nahi kar payengi.

Energy experts ke mutabiq agar Strait of Hormuz jaldi reopen nahi hua to oil prices aur zyada badh sakte hain aur global inflation par bhi direct asar padega.
