The Hormuz Shock's Hidden Lesson: Corporate Energy Security in the Time of Disruption The recent shutdown of Saudi Arabia's East West pipeline has highlighted a critical issue that extends beyond the energy sector: corporate resilience in the face of disruption.
For decades, the global energy system has relied on layers of shock absorbers to cushion disruptions like the one that threatened to shut down one fifth of global oil supplies this year.
Resilience is not just about having options; it's also about having flexibility. Companies can adapt by switching fuels or feedstocks, accessing alternative ports and suppliers, or redirecting cargo.
