JEDDAH: Jordan’s energy sector remains resilient, with strategic reserves sufficient to cover two months of domestic demand, a senior official said, as regional volatility intensifies and local consumption rises.
Director General of the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Co. Hassan Al-Hayari said the country maintains a “comfortable” 60-day reserve of petroleum products and cooking gas, dismissing concerns over potential shortages.
He added that supply chains remain fully operational and insulated from regional maritime disruptions, according to Jordan News Agency, known as Petra.
The update comes as regional energy systems face mounting pressure from the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, which has disrupted key shipping lanes, heightened risks around the Strait of Hormuz, and intensified concerns over the continuity of fuel supplies across the Middle East.
Against this backdrop, countries including Jordan are increasingly relying on diversified import routes, expanded storage capacity, and long-term infrastructure investments.
