  Oil rises as US orders diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions

Read more Oil prices rose on Thursday as more attacks by the Houthis in Saudi Arabia prompted the United States to order some diplomats and family members to leave its missions in the Kingdom.
  
  Brent crude futures rose $1.29, or 1.2%, to $110.11 a barrel at 00:34 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 97 cents, or 1%, to $98.12. Brent had settled largely unchanged on Wednesday, while WTI had eased 67 cents.
  
  The US State Department plans to withdraw family members from a number of other US missions in the region, US officials told Reuters.
  
  Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis struck several targets on Wednesday with at least one person killed and eight more wounded at a civilian airport in Dammam, and two people killed in a drone attack on a Saudi oil field.
  
  Which producers have the greatest exposure to attacks on Saudi facilities?
  Explosions were also heard in Sirik in southern Iran, Iranian media reported on Wednesday, saying the nature and origin of the explosions were unknown.
  
  On Wednesday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told the Financial Times that Iran was fully prepared to defend itself and President Masoud Pezeshkian told state media the US could not expect dialogue while blockading and threatening Iran.
  
  There were at least 18 attacks on shipping over the past two weeks, Kpler data showed, while LSEG analysts warned that Iran was targeting tankers well beyond the Strait of Hormuz, reaching into the Gulf of Oman and jeopardising Gulf crude loadings and ship-to-ship transfers supporting regional loadings.
  
  Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg on Wednesday for talks on ending the war in Ukraine amid Washington’s latest push to stop Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War Two.
  
  The Kremlin said Putin had agreed to resume US-mediated peace talks with Ukraine as soon as next month. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he supported the talks and hoped they would start as soon as possible.
  
  US crude stocks fell by 3.06 million barrels to 412.5 million barrels last week, the US Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday, compared with analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for an 820,000-barrel draw.
  
  Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose 1.68 million barrels in the week to 104.3 million barrels, versus expectations for a 1.16 million-barrel drop, EIA data showed.
  
  The Trump administration is offering to loan up to nearly a third of the 1-million-barrel US emergency heating oil reserve, the Department of Energy said on Wednesday, seeking to contain prices that have surged on diesel shortages due to the wars in Iran and Ukraine.

  Russia’s Northern Sea Route Workaround Supplying Asian Buyers
  Asia-bound Russian crude and fuel supplies are being rerouted as the US-Israeli war on Iran and disruptions in the straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab choke off traditional crude flows from the Persian Gulf. Indeed, Russia increased oil and LNG shipments... Read more Asia-bound Russian crude and fuel supplies are being rerouted as the US-Israeli war on Iran and disruptions in the straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab choke off traditional crude flows from the Persian Gulf.
  
  Indeed, Russia increased oil and LNG shipments via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and utilized shadow fleets to bypass chokepoints and fulfill Asian demand.
  
  Reuters reports that Russia’s oil exports through its NSR in 2026 have already exceeded last year’s by nearly 50%, with 20 million barrels shipped to Asia from the July to mid-October navigation window, when Arctic sea ice is at its annual minimum.
  
  Traders say the volume of Russian oil exported through the Arctic route is expected to rise by another 5-10 million barrels by the end of the navigation period. Russia shipped 13 million barrels during the last navigation season.
  
  While the 13,947-kilometer-route is considerably shorter than the Suez route’s 20,921 km, it is also more expensive and dangerous.
  
  This year the NSR has become more attractive due to disruptions to routes via the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea.
  
  The Arctic waterway offers a path free from Western inspections, detentions, and port restrictions for Russian oil exporters and its aging "shadow fleet".
  
  Navigating the top of the world cuts travel time to markets like China and India by up to two weeks compared to the Suez Canal route.
  
  New domestic energy projects in northern Russia — such as Rosneft's Vostok Oil and expanded Arctic LNG operations — are actively pumping and shipping larger volumes directly into Asian supply chains.
  
  Meanwhile, tanker freight rates have surged to record highs as supertankers face bottlenecks and delays (such as ship-to-ship transfers outside the Strait of Hormuz).
  
  Record-high freight costs are changing the behavior of Asian buyers who are increasingly using smaller tankers and ships under long-term charter deals to pick crude oil supply.
  
  The higher rates are also forcing Asian refiners to seek alternatives from the Middle East and Latin America.
  
  For Russia, the Northern Sea Route represents a secure alternative to European waters, where oil tankers have regularly been arrested.
  
  The United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom have sanctioned hundreds of shadow-fleet tankers for violating the price cap or operating without proper Western maritime insurance.
  
  Reuters said Russian oil major Gazprom Neft will increase its NSR shipments this year by 35% compared with 2025. President Putin reportedly told an economic forum in Vladivostok that Russia expects cargo turnover via the NSR to double to 70 million tons annually by 2030.
  
  China and India are the largest buyers of Russian crude oil.
  
  China imports just under 1 million barrels per day (bpd) of Russian crude directly through overland infrastructure, anchored primarily by the East Siberia–Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline and its Skovorodino-Mohe spur. For seaborne shipments, China sources the vast majority of its oil from Russia's eastern Pacific ports — most notably the port of Kozmino — which exports the sought-after ESPO crude grade. In recent months, up to 90% of China’s seaborne Russian crude has come from these Asian-side ports rather than European terminals.
  
  India relies on a sprawling network of sea tankers (including the Russian shadow fleet) to transport crude directly from Russian ports to major Indian refining hubs like Jamnagar, Vadinar and Paradip.
  
  Following disruptions in Middle Eastern supply routes, India aggressively pivoted its import basket toward non-Hormuz channels, establishing Russia as its top crude supplier.
  
  According to a Russian media statement, on 6 June 2023, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin spoke at a strategic session on the development plan of the NSR. This plan was approved by the Russian government in August 2022 that “includes [the] construction of more than 50 icebreakers and ice-class vessels, ports and terminals, emergency and rescue centres, [and] building an orbital group of satellites”. Russia has pledged 2 trillion rubles (US$21.4 billion) over the next 13 years to the development of the NSR. (S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies) Source: Oilprice.com
