To those who don't know, when you "shut in" i.e. shut off an oil well it essentially clots up, and may never produce the same volume of oil again.
Depending on the length of shut off, it can ruin the well.
And then they will have no income to pay for anything at all. Hopefully there was be a peaceful transion of power back to the iranian people, that must be worth quite a few prayers.
Isn't this also true of the other Persian Gulf states? Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar etc? Maybe not for Saudi Arabia with their pipeline unless the Houthis close the Bab-al Mandib.(sp?)
My concern is that I don't know their oil fields. Are there a bunch of small ones or are there a few big ones that are connected in many countries?
If their oil wells spoil will that effect any others in other countries? OR - if they are connected, will the fact that the other countries are still pumping mean that Iran can just turn it back on when the conflict is over?
Maybe Landman will touch on this concept next season. Kek
It's on an individual well-hole basis.
To get the same type of production, they would need to re-drill a new bore hole.
It could take years to re-drill their wells.
It's my understanding that the reservoir underneath the ground is unaffected.
There are 3 main pipelines on the Iranian mainland that come together at valve stations and feed a single large underwater oil pipeline to Kharg Island.
Destroy the valve stations and the pipeline leading to Kharg Island. Why wait for several days, and meanwhile let them continue to stockpile the oil? Just cut it off right now?
When the next Iranian leaders take over (when we're done)... they can always repair the valve stations and pipeline.

I don't belive it is true, they are not getting thir infrastucture bombed to hell and back.
And Xi will soon be on his knees, begging Trump to sell China oil. "Trump Was Right About Everything"!
Thanks, I did not know this. This can only be what Net Zero environmentalists intended for the world.
Thank you.

Thanks. I worked at refineries, but I was the one keeping their cyber security up-to-date and safe, and the same for their monitoring.
Yep...They run out of places to put the oil & they stop pumping...Water rushes in & output is never the same again!
Sounds like it.
My what big eyes you have, BD! 😁
LOL
No more Arabian drifting exhibitions :(
LOL
Why wait for a "matter of days"?

Too many things to do?? LOL
Hmm... The only way to avoid this is to let the oil flow out like a water faucet.
No. It will make the strait all oily.
