Gulf oil rebound hinges on Hormuz: Goldman
INDIA NEWS | Sat, 25 Apr 2026, 11:47AM IST
New Delhi: Gulf crude oil production could largely recover within a few months of the Strait of Hormuz reopening, Goldman Sachs research said in a report. However, it added that a complete return to pre-war levels may take longer and the crude oil production is likely to face heightened risks if the closure of the crucial waterway and tensions in West Asia continue for a longer period.The research wing of the investment bank estimated that Gulf output went down by 14.5 million barrels per day (mbd), or 57%, from pre-war levels. In its latest research note, Goldman Sachs said a swift recovery is possible, given there are no renewed strikes on oil assets and a full, safe reopening of the Strait in the coming months. However, the last leg of the ramp-up could be prolonged and may not fully materialize if the waterway remains closed for an extended period.Also read: Iran war justified by Tehran's 'aggression' over decades, US legal adviser saysThe speed of recovery will hinge on transportation and well flow rates. Once the Strait reopens, the key constraints are likely to be pipeline capacity, the availability of empty tankers to clear previously produced oil, and the mobilization of materials and workers for field workovers. Goldman estimates that available empty tanker capacity in the Gulf has fallen by about *50%, or 130 million barrels*, since the start of the conflict.Historical data shows Hormuz flows peaked at 23.3 mbd compared to a normal 20 mbd, with pipeline redirection capacity running at 3.5 mbd above normal. Forced curtailments can also create reservoir complexities, requiring intervention and workover jobs before wells can be brought back to prior production rates. The longer the closure, the more extensive the work needed and the slower the procurement of depleted inputs like drill pipes, which could further delay the restart.Goldman sees three reasons for a relatively solid recovery in the near term. Firstly, publicly reported evidence of physical damage to oil fields remains limited compared to LNG assets. Secondly, the comments from Saudi Aramco's President and CEO in March suggested that Saudi production could ramp up relatively quickly. Third, history shows that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are likely to deploy available spare capacity to stabilize markets.Check Iran War Live UpdatesStill, the report cautions that a full recovery may take several quarters and risks being only partial after a prolonged closure. Reservoir characteristics vary widely across Gulf fields, with Iran and Iraq estimated to have a higher share of production from fields with relatively low reservoir pressure, making restarts more complex. Infrastructure sophistication, maintenance levels and sanctions risks also differ across countries.Historical episodes of supply disruptions show mixed outcomes in terms of speed and extent of recovery, and Goldman Sachs noted that today's shock is unprecedented. An average of external forecasts from the EIA and IEA shows recoveries of 70% of lost production after three months* of reopening and 88% after six months.While not its baseline, Goldman Sachs warned that the risk of "scarring" to oil production capacity could rise if hostilities resume, as seen in several of the previous five largest oil supply shocks.

Iran talks unclear, Islamabad locked down
INDIA NEWS | Sat, 25 Apr 2026, 11:35AM IST
Islamabad: Large parts of Pakistan's capital remain under a tight security lockdown for over a week on Saturday, even as uncertainty persisted over the proposed second round of talks between the US and Iran.Arterial roads leading into Islamabad are sealed, while the Red Zone, housing key government buildings and diplomatic missions, remains under a strict security cordon.In the adjacent commercial 'Blue Area', markets are deserted, cafes are running short of supplies, and public transport disruptions with no service at bus terminals have left commuters stranded.For residents, uncertainty has become the hardest part. Islamabad is a city of transients, where many residents work during the week and return to family homes at the weekend.This is the second lockdown in recent weeks. Islamabad was earlier sealed on April 11 for talks between the US and Iranian delegations that ended without a deal. The city briefly reopened before restrictions were reimposed as Pakistan prepared to host another round of engagements, which has yet to materialise.Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived here late Friday for engagements with the Pakistani leadership. He was received by senior officials, including Army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, foreign minister Ishaq Dar and interior minister Mohsin Naqvi.However, there is no clarity on whether direct talks between Washington and Tehran will take place during the visit."No meeting is planned to take place between Iran and the US. Iran's observations would be conveyed to Pakistan," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said in a social media post on Saturday.He said the Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad "for an official visit" and Araghchi will be "meeting with Pakistani high-level officials in concert with their ongoing mediation and good offices for ending American-imposed war of aggression and the restitution of peace in our region".As the Iranian team landed in Islamabad, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that US Special Envoy on the Middle East Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's adviser Jared Kushner would be leaving for Pakistan on Saturday "to engage in direct talks" with representatives of the Iranian delegation."Everyone will be on standby to fly to Pakistan if necessary, but first, Steve and Jared will be going over there to report back to the president, the vice president and the rest of the team," she said.However, the US team has not yet arrived.Meanwhile, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Dar, in a social media post, expressed hope for "meaningful engagements" between the two warring parties to promote regional peace and stability.The Foreign Office here said Iranian foreign minister Araghchi will hold meetings with Pakistan's senior leadership to discuss the latest regional developments as well as ongoing efforts for regional peace and stability."Following key discussions with the Pakistani mediation team, a second round of peace talks between the United States and Iran is expected to be held in Islamabad on Saturday and Sunday," a government official said.He said a US logistics and security team is already present in Islamabad to facilitate the negotiation process.Araghchi, before leaving for Islamabad, said that he was embarking on a timely tour of Islamabad, Muscat, and Moscow, and the purpose of his visits is to "closely coordinate with our partners on bilateral matters and consult on regional developments"."Our neighbours are our priority," he said.The first round of US-Iran talks held on April 11 and 12 failed to produce a breakthrough, prompting a flurry of diplomatic efforts by host Pakistan to cool tensions and revive hopes for another round of dialogue.On Tuesday, Trump extended the two-week ceasefire with Iran indefinitely to give Tehran more time to prepare a unified proposal to end the war, just hours before the truce was set to expire.The Iran war began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes.
