Middle East Crude Exports Beat Pre-War Average on Four September Days

Middle East crude oil exports exceeded their pre-war average on four days in late September, data from tracking firm Kpler released Oct. 5 show. Shipments reached 19.5-22.5 million barrels per day on Sept. 24 and 27-29, compared with 18 million before the war. The figures are provisional and may be revised, so it is unclear if the rise will last.
