G7 to Release 100M Barrels of Oil and Diesel
The coordinated release will begin immediately and last four months, with a front-loaded diesel drawdown within 20 days, the G7 said.
- On Friday, the Group of Seven agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves to cool surging fuel prices linked to the Iran war.
- The Trump administration reportedly told Germany and France on Thursday to draw down emergency diesel inventories or face a potential diesel export ban, Reuters reported.
- Approximately 17 per cent of European emergency stocks would be released under a proposal by France to supply 50 million barrels of diesel, alongside a 50-million-barrel crude release by International Energy Agency members.
- Coordinated releases will begin immediately over four months, with the Group of Seven pledging a front-loaded substantial diesel supply within 20 days and refraining from export restrictions.
- Describing the decision as a "political statement," analysts at Energy Aspects noted the move is intended to persuade President Trump against imposing his threatened diesel export ban.
