Dark warning: Oil stocks at record low levels, still shrinking at an alarming rate

The International Energy Agency (IEA), operating under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), reported that global oil reserves reached their lowest level since 1990 in May. This decline was significantly influenced by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which temporarily disrupted oil supplies from the Persian Gulf. The IEA noted that despite a noticeable drop in demand for crude oil and refined products, oil reserves continue to decrease at an exceptionally rapid pace. To alleviate pressure on oil prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the IEA has 

Zaloge nafte v državah Organizacije za gospodarsko sodelovanje in razvoj (OECD) so maja dosegle najnižjo raven po letu 1990, je v svojem mesečnem poročilu sporočila Mednarodna agencija za energijo (IEA). K zmanjšanju zalog je pomembno prispevala zapora Hormuške ožine, ki je začasno prekinila oskrbo z nafto iz Perzijskega zaliva.

Iz strateških rezerv že sprostili 400 milijonov sodov nafte

Po podatkih IEA, ki deluje pod okriljem OECD, so se od začetka konflikta na Bližnjem vzhodu zaloge nafte v državah članicah zmanjšale za 163 milijonov 159-litrskih sodov. Agencija v poročilu opozarja, da se zaloge kljub občutnemu upadu povpraševanja po surovi nafti in rafiniranih naftnih proizvodih še naprej zmanjšujejo z izjemno hitrim tempom. » Kljub znatnemu zmanjšanju povpraševanja po surovi nafti in rafiniranih proizvodih se zaloge v sistemu še naprej rekordno hitro krčijo ,« so zapisali v IEA.

Da bi ublažili pritisk na cene nafte po iranskem zaprtju Hormuške ožine, je IEA koordinirala sproščanje 400 milijonov sodov nafte iz strateških rezerv na svetovni trg. Po navedbah francoske tiskovne agencije AFP je bilo do 12. junija sproščenih že 252 milijonov sodov.

Okrevanje trga pričakujejo šele v prihodnjem letu

V agenciji pričakujejo, da se bo obseg sproščanja rezerv v juniju in juliju nekoliko zmanjšal. K temu naj bi prispeval tudi dogovor o končanju vojne, ki se je začela 28. februarja z ameriškimi in izraelskimi napadi na Iran.

IEA obenem ocenjuje, da bodo vztrajno visoke cene nafte letos občutno vplivale na svetovno povpraševanje. To naj bi bilo v primerjavi z lanskim letom manjše za približno 1,1 milijona sodov na dan, medtem ko okrevanje trga pričakujejo v prihodnjem letu.
