Oil, Risk and Retaliation: Energy Markets React to Middle East Escalation
In our latest Energy Connects Discussions, Dr. Carole Nakhle, CEO of Crystol Energy and Secretary General of the Arab Energy Club, outlines how the escalating Iran war could reshape the global energy landscape. She discusses the resilience of today’s oil market, the role of spare capacity and strategic reserves, and whether infrastructure risks could trigger deeper market instability. The conversation highlights the trade, investment and economic outlook for the energy sector on the face of major supply disruptions. Looking beyond barrels and benchmarks, the discussion also reflects on the wider geoeconomic consequences of the situation and its implications for energy security.
