[Kuwait and Qatar Increase Crude Oil Exports via the Strait of Hormuz, Export Volume Restored to 70% of Pre-Conflict Levels] BlockBeats News, August 27, according to foreign media reports, the two smaller oil-producing nations in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait and Qatar, are increasing crude oil shipments via the Strait of Hormuz, further boosting oil transport volumes through this waterway. Traders revealed that prior to the outbreak of the Iran war, the two countries collectively exported approximately 2 million barrels of oil per day. Currently, export volumes have recovered to 70% of pre-conflict levels. The UAE was the first Gulf oil-producing country to resume large-scale oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz, employing a method known as "shuttle transportation," involving ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman. Saudi Arabia later joined in. Traders stated that currently, about 7 to 8 million barrels of oil are being transported daily through the Strait of Hormuz, up from approximately 4 million barrels in mid-July, which is roughly three-quarters of pre-war levels. Vortexa reported on Monday that oil flow through this waterway is approaching 10 million barrels per day.
