Persian Gulf crude exports rebound to 16.5 million bpd in September as more flows bypass the Strait of Hormuz
Crude exports from the Persian Gulf returned to near prewar levels in September, excluding Iran, averaging 16.5 million barrels per day. The share of regional crude moving through the Strait of Hormuz fell to 60% from 83% before the war, with about 9.9 million barrels per day crossing the chokepoint. The remaining 40% bypassed Hormuz via pipelines and other routes through Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Greater reliance on pipelines, offshore transfers and military escorts has reduced Iran’s leverage over the strait.
