Iran's Floating Oil Reserves Fully Depleted Under U.S. Naval Blockade, Tightening Global Supply
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing data from energy analytics firm Kpler, Iran's floating oil reserves stored aboard tankers in Asian waters have been completely exhausted. The monthslong U.S. naval blockade has effectively prevented Tehran from replenishing these supplies, which previously served as a crucial buffer for crude exports.
These floating stockpiles provided Iran with a steady source of cash flow through ongoing sales to independent refiners in China. Kpler data indicates that the floating reserves, which held tens of millions of barrels at their peak, dropped below one million barrels by early October and were fully depleted by mid-month.
Energy analysts noted that Iran no longer has offshore tanker crude available to discharge to China, dealing a severe economic blow to Tehran's fiscal revenue. According to estimates from U.S. Central Command, the blockade has deprived Iran of at least $25 billion in oil revenue, further tightening global crude supply dynamics [Wall Street Journal / Kpler](https://www.iranintl.com/en/202610224016)
