Why does the Persian Gulf have more oil and gas than any other place on the planet?

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General6 September 2026 at 08:40

The Persian Gulf countries are described as simultaneously a blessing and a curse due to their vast reserves of oil and natural gas. This region has become a global nerve center rich in energy, thanks to geological forces that acted over millions of years.

These geological forces were responsible for transforming the Persian Gulf area into one of the richest regions in energy resources on the planet. The formation process of these reserves took millions of years of geological activity.

The strategic importance of this region was evidenced by the ongoing war, which is causing a global energy crisis. The conflict demonstrates how global dependence on the Persian Gulf's energy reserves has profound implications for international stability.
