Middle Eastern oil exports have returned to prewar levels as shipping companies use alternative routes to bypass chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz targeted in the conflict.
中东石油出口已恢复至战前水平。航运公司纷纷改用替代路线,绕过在冲突中受阻的霍尔木兹海峡等咽喉要道。
In the week to October 18, shipments from Gulf oil producers excluding Iran averaged 24.6mn barrels a day, higher than the 23.3mn prewar average, according to data compiled by Kpler.
Kpler汇编的数据显示,在截至10月18日的一周,海湾产油国(除伊朗外)的石油日均出口量达到2460万桶,高于战前2330万桶的日均水平。
That takes the seven-day average for exports to its highest level since mid-February, days before the US and Israel struck Iran, igniting a war that has stymied exports from the world’s biggest oil-producing region.
这使七日平均出口量达到2月中旬以来的最高水平,美国和以色列在2月底对伊朗开战,这场战争阻碍了世界最大产油区的石油出口。
