The US Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, affirmed that more than 17 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. This volume represents a level close to that recorded before the conflict with Iran.
The information was provided by Chris Wright himself, who holds the position of US Energy Secretary, during statements to the media this Wednesday.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic maritime route for worldwide oil transportation, and any disruption to this route has significant impact on global energy markets.
The fact that the crude flow has returned to levels similar to those of the period prior to the conflict indicates a resumption of activity in that crucial navigation channel.
