Global Oil Supply Disrupted by Conflicts; India Increases US LPG and LNG Imports
Nearly half of the global oil supply in 2025 came from countries affected by conflicts, including Iran, Russia-Ukraine, Libya, and Venezuela, disrupting production and refining capacity. The Iran war has notably constrained Gulf oil flows, raising freight and insurance costs. India has responded by increasing LPG and LNG imports from the US, diversifying away from traditional Gulf suppliers due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Despite higher costs, India's refining capacity enables it to export petroleum products, supporting energy security amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
