Oil normally moving through each chokepoint, and how much spare pipeline capacity could route around it.
Loading…
World oil demand 104 mb/d. Illustrative model. Hormuz uses IEA 2025 figures (Kpler ship-tracking); other chokepoints use 1H 2025 tanker-tracking flows (Vortexa data, published by EIA). Flows passing more than one chokepoint are counted at each, so combined totals are an upper bound. Bypass excludes pipelines whose route or export terminal is currently out of service. How the model works.
