Chevron CEO warns diesel relief unlikely until 2027 amid depleted reserves

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Global diesel supply is expected to remain tight until at least 2027, according to Chevron CEO Mike Wirth and the International Energy Agency. Wirth stated that strategic and commercial oil reserves have been depleted due to the Iran war, making the market more vulnerable to disruptions. The International Energy Agency projects that diesel prices will stay high and stocks will not be rebuilt until the second half of 2027, with global oil supply falling this year and demand being cut by high prices. In response to rising fuel costs, President Donald Trump considered and then abandoned a ban on U.S. diesel exports, opting instead for a G7 agreement to release emergency reserves and allowing off-road diesel to be used on public roads.
