Today on Forbes, the country's most in danger of running out of oil.

Before the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran, 40 tankers carrying 20 million barrels of crude oil

and refined petroleum products traverse the strait of Hormuz every day.

This week, Iran has allowed just a handful of tankers to slip through Hormuz,

including ships flagged to India, Pakistan, and China. Amid oil rationing and shortages,

and his team of commodities market analysts at Societe General,

also known as Sochgen, figure that for now the trickle through the strait will average 500,000

barrels per day, on Iran's whim.

Incredibly, much of the rest of the pent-up oil is still getting to market, or at least

The Saudis have turned to their long-planned and expanded east-west pipeline, which will

be pushed to its limits in carrying 7 million barrels per day to the Red Sea port at Yanbu.

Likewise, the United Arab Emirates has been able to move some oil east around the

strait via pipeline to the port of Fujaira, though Iran has reportedly attacked that infrastructure.

Analysts at Jeffreys see 6.7 million barrels per day of Gulf oil production now shut in.

Energy Aspix figures that Hormuz-related outages

barrels per day to 22.3 million. That's 7% of the world's daily crude oil diet of 100 million

barrels per day. The United States is the

world's biggest oil and natural gas producer is somewhat insulated from supply shocks. Prices for

gasoline and diesel may surge here, but there is a little chance of outright shortages. Other
