OIL AND GAS NEWS

Kuwait has declared force majeure on shipments of crude oil ‌and refined products after a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz prevented some vessels from entering ⁠the Persian Gulf, hindering its ability to meet certain customer commitments, Bloomberg News reported, citing a document.

State-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp notified customers on ‌Friday (April 17) ⁠that it was invoking a contract clause allowing it to withhold scheduled deliveries, the ⁠report said.

It added that the decision is not expected to ⁠result in a complete halt in supply.
