Anas Alhajji highlights the Strait of Hormuz as the main risk to global energy supply, noting that bypass pipelines or canals are impractical due to drone threats and economic factors. He suggests OPEC+ could mitigate this risk by coordinating the buildup of large strategic inventories in consuming countries, away from vulnerable geographic chokepoints. Alhajji also expresses bullish views on LNG, coal, and sulfur, calling natural gas "the future." He clarifies misconceptions about the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), explaining that SPR releases function as loans with incentives that change as prices fall, and distinguishes between commercial and strategic inventories.
