By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Saudi Aramco has warned that global fuel inventories are nearing a critical low due to ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The company reported a 25% increase in first-quarter profits, largely by utilizing its East-West Pipeline to bypass the troubled waterway. Despite this operational flexibility, Aramco's CEO Amin H. Nasser stated that the pipeline's maximum capacity cannot fully compensate for the volume of oil that typically flows through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 20% of the world's traded oil.

    Saudi Aramco warns: Fuel inventories are about to fall to "critical lows"

    沙特阿美公司近日发出警告，受霍尔木兹海峡航运持续中断影响，全球燃油库存正迅速逼近“临界低点”，未来数月能源供应形势严峻。该公司总裁兼首席执行官阿明·纳赛尔表示，自中东冲突爆发以来，全球原油供应量已累计流失约10亿桶。他警告称，即便航运即刻恢复，市场也需要数月才能重新平衡；若中断持续数周以上，供应缺口将延续至2027年。阿美公司预计，5月和6月的供应短缺问题将更加突出。（新浪财经）
