Global oil markets are reeling as geopolitical tensions in Europe and the Middle East drive prices upward. Conflicts in the Levant and NATO-Russia frictions along Eastern European borders threaten critical energy corridors, amplifying oil's role as a geopolitical lightning rod.
OPEC+ responds cautiously, unwinding just 180,000 barrels per day of cuts in October. Saudi Arabia’s output nears 9 million barrels daily, but spare capacity is tight. Iraq and the UAE grapple with domestic issues, constraining exports. Europe’s pivot from Russian gas, driven by the EU’s REPowerEU plan for 45 billion cubic meters of LNG by 2025, indirectly boosts crude demand as refiners adapt.
In Europe, Ukraine’s war disrupts supply chains. Russian crude, discounted $15 below Brent due to sanctions, flows to India and China via shadow tankers. Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, like Ryazan, cut 500,000 barrels daily. Kremlin threats target Baltic infrastructure, while NATO’s 90,000-troop exercises signal escalation risks. Germany’s nuclear phase-out and France’s diplomatic moves with Iran strain fuel supplies, with European refineries at 85% capacity.
Higher prices hit consumers and industries. Aviation fuel costs are up 12%, squeezing airlines, while German manufacturers face rising inputs. Hedge funds bet on sustained tightness, with net long positions at multi-year highs. U.S. shale and Norway’s Johan Sverdrup field offer some relief, potentially adding 300,000 barrels daily by 2026.
