It’s a sitting duck and they cannot protect it. Hit two objectives: 1. Military (and airport), 2. Power plant. Everything else will cease and will expose any/all power back up generators…. Take them out too.
Iran's oil wells are in serious trouble due to a US naval blockade that has halted exports and left the country nearly out of storage capacity. With onshore storage at Kharg Island nearing full capacity and only 12 to 22 days of unused space remaining, Iran risks being forced to shut in production, which could cause permanent, irreversible damage to its oil fields.
Shutting down wells poses severe technical risks because Iran’s mature carbonate reservoirs rely on stable pressure and gas reinjection. Abrupt shutdowns can lead to water intrusion (water coning), which permanently traps oil and reduces recovery rates—already low at around 25%. Experts warn that even temporary shut-ins could destroy 300,000–500,000 barrels per day of future production capacity and require billions of dollars and years of work to repair.
To delay the crisis, Iran has revived the 30-year-old tanker Nasha as floating storage, but this is only a stopgap. The blockade has already cut export revenues by three-quarters, costing Iran $435 million per day, and may force pre-emptive well closures within days.
Glad to see Iran filled up all the oil tanks there for us. We're going to enjoy our new island! Thank you Iran!
Thanks my thinking...😉
How soon till the wells go sour?
It's already started. They're in a bad situation right now.
Any market for Persian Rugs? 😢
If there is Trump will get them at a big discount.
Yuge!
