Vitol CEO: 14M bpd Middle East oil flows, warns of fuel shortage into winter

Vitol's CEO reports that 14 million barrels per day (12M crude, 2M refined) are currently leaving the Middle East, a figure that appears to reflect normal export volumes. The warning of a continued fuel shortage until winter suggests potential supply chain stress, but the statement lacks specifics on disruptions or demand shifts. The market impact hinges on whether these flows are sustainable amid regional tensions.
