EIA forecasts Mideast crude output disruptions of 600K BPD through 2027
Summary
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has projected that ongoing disruptions to Middle East crude oil output, estimated at around 600,000 barrels per day (BPD), will persist until the end of 2027. This expectation reflects the impact of regional conflicts, which have led to sustained interruptions in crude oil flows through critical chokepoints, contributing to continued volatility in petroleum markets in recent months. Analysts and agencies are closely monitoring these supply risks as they extend into future years.
