Four international organizations warned that global strategic oil reserves are being depleted at a record pace due to the Middle East conflict. Leaders of the International Energy Agency (IEA), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank and World Trade Organization (WTO) issued a joint statement reinforcing the need for a coordinated response to the energy and economic impacts of the war. ✓

"Os dirigentes da Agência Internacional de Energia (AIE), do Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI), do Banco Mundial e da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) reforçaram a necessidade de uma resposta conjunta aos impactos energéticos, comerciais e econômicos da guerra no Oriente Médio, ao alertarem que as reservas estratégicas de petróleo globais estão sendo esvaziadas em ritmo recorde."
"Energy depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of energy resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers coal, crude oil, and natural gas."
According to the entities, global stocks are being reduced at unprecedented speed due to strong supply losses associated with the Strait of Hormuz. The group assessed that if navigation flows do not return to normal, continued stock declines before peak demand in the Northern Hemisphere summer could raise risks to fuel security, market conditions and economic resilience. ✓

"No comunicado, as entidades alertaram que os estoques globais de petróleo estão sendo reduzidos em ritmo recorde devido à forte perda de oferta associada ao Estreito de Ormuz. Na avaliação do grupo, caso os fluxos de navegação não retornem ao normal, a continuidade da queda dos estoques antes do pico de demanda do verão no Hemisfério Norte pode elevar os riscos para a segurança de combustíveis, as condições de mercado e a resiliência econômica."
The institutions highlighted that the conflict has been producing "substantial and highly asymmetric" effects on energy supply, food security and economic activity, with disproportionate impact on more vulnerable countries. They cited rising fuel and fertilizer prices, increased uncertainty and risks to jobs, with additional concern about fertilizers at the start of planting season. ?

"In 2025, there was a 3.84% increase in proven oil reserves (1P) compared to 2024. Companies contracted for exploration and production in Brazil declared 17.488 billion barrels of oil in proven reserves"
"Petrobras discloses its proved reserves of oil, condensate and natural gas, according to SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) regulation, estimated at 12.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe), as of December 31, 2025. Oil and condensate, and natural gas correspond to 84% and 16% of this total, respectively."
Covered by only some sources, or where the accounts diverge.
No gaps or divergences found — sources converge.
-
What specific methodology do the organizations use to calculate 'record pace' depletion?
Why it's still unknown: While the World Bank defines energy depletion in general terms, no source specifies the historical comparison period or exact criteria for classifying the current pace as 'record'
-
What is the specific impact for Brazilian energy policy if the global scenario is confirmed?
Why it's still unknown: Sources provide data on Brazilian reserves but do not analyze how the global warning affects national production or export strategies
-
How long would complete depletion of global strategic reserves take at the current pace?
Why it's still unknown: The statement mentions 'record pace' but does not quantify specific timeframes or volumes of depletion
