Months of conflict in the Persian Gulf region continue to disrupt shipping. The Minister of Energy of Oman said at a major conference between natural gas producers and traders that alternative routes need to be developed so that liquefied natural gas transportation can bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Oman's Minister of Energy and Mines Salim Ofi said at an international gas technology conference held in Bangkok on Monday: “We should find other export options. Whether it's shipping north or via Oman or Yemen. We need to diversify resource outbound channels.”
