Risks to Oil from Mideast Political Strife
 

Increased political tension and conflict in the Middle East has impacted oil prices and sent jitters through the market. The increased geopolitical premium in the price of oil is a reflection of the deeper strains across the region and the threats they may pose to oil supplies and investments.
 
Since the emergence of the Arab Spring, political structures of the most important oil-producing region in the world have been shaken to their foundations. The repercussions require constant monitoring by anyone in the international energy business.
 

In this special Energy Intelligence White Paper, we draw upon recent in depth reporting from Energy Compass and analytical work by Energy Intelligence Research & Advisory. 
 
We provide a detailed look at the impact of these events on key Middle East oil-producing countries and oil industry risks. We examine the ramifications of the latest events in Saudi Arabia, Libya, Egypt and for the Kurds. The White Paper concludes with some key observations from a recent report from Energy Intelligence Research & Advisory’s Strategic Trends service on this new phase in the Arab revolts and the impact on oil industry risks for the region as a whole.
