RE: US Blocks Straits to Iranian Ships Supplying China Oil12 Apr 2026 16:48
Eventually, we should see oil price stabilisation, contingent on an effective solution to the Horuz issue and specifically looking at the current US initiative, whichn i expect other EU nations will also involve themselves in. That'll be positive for the global macro economic outlook.
However, oil prices even with that solution being effected, will likely be elevated for a long while yet, going forward and due to global supply infrastructure having been compromised & emergency reserves needing to be built back up. We also have a situation where discounted Iranian oil, for which China was the main beneficiary, will now be taken out of circulation and hence, prioritising their own st ated initiative of 'safer' strategic supply sources, especially from so called 'friendly neighbour' designated countries
Anyone commenting on Petro Matad's c.350bopd and suppresed share price, may want to view the unfolding picture looking at a circa 5,000-9,000bopd from Heron full field development, effected through an imminent Farm Out, the Gobi upcoming well test looking at proving commerciality from already proven hydrocarbon presence & the potential Multi0-Billion bbls from Block 7, which already has established oil on the China side of the same geology and for which a China State farm in partner is anticipated.
