AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Middle East Energy Shock: Iraq said it exported 10 million barrels through the Strait of Hormuz in April—down from about 93 million barrels a month before the Iran war—blaming low tanker arrivals and insurance limits, while the strait’s disruption keeps pressure on Gulf supply and prices. Gulf Security & Diplomacy: Iran warned co-sponsors of a US-led Hormuz draft resolution that they share responsibility if tensions escalate, as the US pushes China to pressure Tehran and ceasefire talks remain stuck. UAE Energy Resilience: Abu Dhabi is fast-tracking a new west-east oil pipeline via Fujairah to double export capacity by 2027, aiming to bypass Hormuz amid expanding Iranian claims. Kuwait Business & Society: Kuwait marked Women’s Day with officials highlighting women’s political rights since 2005 and their growing leadership in the economy and oil sector. Local Economy Watch: Action Energy secured KD 40.9m in new/renewed bank credit to fund rig expansion tied to Kuwait Oil Company contracts.
