Oil Shortage Scenario Looms Large

By Irina Slav - May 17, 2026, 6:00 PM CDT

Global oil markets are tightening rapidly as the blocked Strait of Hormuz has already removed hundreds of millions of barrels from supply, with losses potentially reaching 1 billion barrels by month-end.

The IEA now expects global oil supply to fall sharply in 2026 while demand remains relatively resilient, raising fears that inventories could soon hit critical stress levels.

Analysts and industry leaders warn that strategic reserves are being depleted faster than expected, meaning the crisis could evolve from a crude shortage into a full-blown global fuel and refining crisis if Hormuz does not reopen soon.

You make it sound . . . As simple as it is - thank you!

WTI creeps over $105 . . .

If PG’s feet are being held to the fire in negotiations, showing we can go it alone might cause a rethink.

Ireland a huge positive too!

WTI $109

Brent $123

Euro

You are about the only one left that answers him/it. Please stop!

O/S I completely agree.

I think PG would sneer at half a billion.

This being the culmination of a life’s work for an incredibly gifted geologist.

I genuinely believe we are waiting to hear about a far, far more significant offer.

No idea how big, but, in the trillions of cubic ft so in the multi billions of $.

Just my opinion of course.

And I think 500m for a bull case is very conservative.

CReas

The bull case at 500m is not 18p

It’s 18 times current SP

That’s 72p

Could you live with that?

How far can this go?

50% @ 4.65 by end of day?

Probably from the Eddie Murphy film ‘Trading Paces’

Buy more shares at 3p

Don’t be that person

It’s coming!!!!!!

Trading starts at 10pm

Hormuz open - Hormuz closed

Deal done - deal not done

Is the HUGE money on a long . . . or a short?

Is this whole event orchestrated to make Billions/Trillions of $

Cynical? what me? noooooooooo
