Repsol prevé complejidad de suministro de productos petrolíferos en Europa por Ormuz

El consejero delegado de Repsol, Josu Jon Imaz, ha advertido este jueves de periodos de complejidad en el suministro de productos petrolíferos en Europa durante las próximas semanas y meses por el cierre del estrecho de Ormuz.

Durante la junta de accionistas, Imaz explicó que el recorte global de unos 11-12 millones de barriles diarios, equivalente al 11% del suministro total, resulta inédito. Subrayó que España cuenta con una red de refinerías potente y ha reforzado sus inventarios de queroseno.

La compañía ha invertido más de 1.500 millones de euros desde el 1 de marzo para asegurar el suministro, logrando ahora un excedente del 20% respecto a las necesidades nacionales. Imaz destacó el compromiso de Repsol con España y Portugal.

El presidente Antonio Brufau señaló que el país se encuentra mejor preparado que la media europea gracias a su sistema de refino y a las infraestructuras de gas. Ambos ejecutivos recordaron inversiones realizadas en refinerías como la de Cartagena en los últimos años.

Escalation of conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has led Iran to order the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, halting tanker traffic and driving global oil prices above US$80 per barrel. The effects extend to Europe, which is now reconsidering plans to end Russian gas imports, while Indonesia pushes for de-escalation via the D-8 organization and assures stable fuel supplies.

TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné warned that France would enter an era of energy shortage if the Strait of Ormuz blockade lasts another two or three months. He called for strengthening supply chain resilience through investments in new pipelines. He made these remarks at a conference in Chantilly.

The OPEC+ alliance is set to consider a larger-than-expected increase in oil supplies during its Sunday meeting, according to a delegate, following US and Israeli air strikes on targets inside Iran. This potential shift in production strategy comes amid military escalation threatening global energy flows. Israel’s Energy Ministry has ordered the temporary closure of several offshore natural gas fields due to security assessments.

The OPEC+ alliance announced an increase of 188,000 barrels per day in crude oil production starting June 2026. This adds to the 206,000 barrels rise announced in April. The blockade in the Strait of Ormuz, however, restricts its effect on global markets.

Two weeks into Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have surged above $100 a barrel and natural gas costs have risen, accelerating adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles, analysts say. Asia, the primary recipient of fuels through the strait, faces acute vulnerability.

On the fifth day of the war in Iran, Tehran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up oil and gas prices, affecting the global economy. European gas prices rose from 32 to 49 euros per MWh, while Brent crude climbed from 72 to 82 dollars per barrel. Europe, vulnerable due to its reliance on imports, faces heightened risks if the conflict drags on.
