G7 and IEA Coordinate Release of 100 Million Barrels of Oil and Diesel Amid Supply Disruptions
The G7 nations, in coordination with the International Energy Agency (IEA), have agreed to release 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel over four months to ease global fuel supply pressures amid disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict and the Strait of Hormuz crisis. This follows the earlier release of 325 million barrels from a 400 million-barrel pledge in March. The focus is on diesel, which faces acute shortages due to refinery disruptions and export constraints. The G7 also pledged to avoid export restrictions and coordinate refinery operations to stabilize markets.
