“When combined with the additional 5-7 million barrels per day leaving the region via newly upgraded pipelines and export facilities, total oil flows are currently averaging approximately 15 million barrels per day.” Wright added that more than 20 million barrels left the Arabian Gulf region on Sunday alone, which he said was above the pre-conflict average. Wright’s claim that another 5 million to 7 million barrels per day is moving through “newly upgraded pipelines and export facilities” is also notable. The IEA estimated 19.87 million barrels per day of oil moved through Hormuz in 2025. Wright’s current estimate of roughly 15 million barrels per day through Hormuz and alternative routes therefore remains about 5 million barrels per day below that benchmark, despite his claim that exports topped 20 million barrels on Sunday alone.
