Shell Plc’s chief executive officer, Wael Sawan, says oil flows from the Middle East are running at about 80% of prewar levels. The statement is presented as an authoritative assessment of how regional exports are recovering after conflict-era disruptions.
The sources agree on the core figure and attribution, but they differ mainly in framing. Bloomberg emphasizes the significance of the assessment for markets and export flows, while Seeking Alpha reiterates the same claim with minimal additional detail. Neither source provides a breakdown by country, route, or product, or specifies the exact timing and measurement methodology behind the comparison to “prewar” volumes. The reporting therefore centers on the high-level percentage and the executive’s viewpoint rather than on new, independently verified flow data.
