Mideast Naphtha Supply Tightens as Disruptions Mount
Mideast Gulf naphtha supplies are tightening after Kuwait's KPC and Bahrain's Bapco Energies announced force majeure, removing roughly 560,000 t/month and 167,000 t/month respectively. Additional shipment delays from ADNOC and cargo cancellations by QatarEnergy, alongside drone attacks on Ras Laffan and Duqm, put an estimated 4.18 mn t/month of regional exports at risk. Asian naphtha premiums spiked to a four‑year high of $90.75/t, prompting downstream producers to cut run rates. Buyers are now looking to Europe despite longer transit times.
