The International Energy Agency has projected that diesel supply shortages will persist until 2027, amid declining inventories to low levels and production constraints ahead of peak winter demand.
In its monthly oil market report, the agency stated that diesel refining profit margins reached record levels of about $95 per barrel in September, with production falling sharply due to a decline in refining capacity resulting from attacks linked to the US war on Iran.
It added that diesel markets continue to face significant pressure, noting that prolonged supply disruptions have led to inventory drawdowns, contrary to the usual pattern in the period preceding autumn refinery maintenance and peak winter demand.
