Irak Bernegosiasi dengan Iran untuk Membuka Kembali Rute Pengiriman Minyak Vital

Ditulis oleh Tsvetana Paraskova melalui OilPrice.com,

Pemerintah federal Irak sedang melakukan kontak dengan Iran untuk membujuk Teheran agar mengizinkan beberapa kapal tanker minyak Irak melewati Selat Hormuz, kata Menteri Perminyakan Irak Hayyan Abdul Ghani pada hari Selasa.

"Ada komunikasi dengan Iran mengenai izin lewatnya beberapa kapal tanker minyak Irak," kata menteri tersebut dalam pernyataan yang dikutip oleh Kantor Berita Irak (INA).

Irak, tidak seperti Arab Saudi dan Uni Emirat Arab (UEA), tidak memiliki pilihan apa pun—bahkan sebagian—untuk melewati Selat Hormuz, yang telah ditutup selama lebih dari dua minggu sekarang, memaksa Baghdad untuk memangkas produksi minyak karena lokasi penyimpanan dan kapal tanker yang tersedia di Teluk telah penuh.

Irak adalah yang pertama mengumumkan lebih dari seminggu yang lalu bahwa mereka memangkas produksi minyak mentah di tengah blokade de facto Selat Hormuz.

Minggu lalu Irak mengatakan akan mempertahankan produksi minyak mentah sekitar 1,4 juta barel per hari (bpd) karena perang yang mengganggu Teluk Persia terus melumpuhkan rute ekspor negara tersebut.

Sebelum perang, Irak, produsen terbesar kedua OPEC di belakang Arab Saudi, memproduksi lebih dari 4,4 juta bpd.

Tetapi tanpa jalan keluar dari Teluk untuk semua barel ini, Irak dan produsen besar lainnya terpaksa memangkas produksi hulu.

Kerugian awal sekitar 5 juta bpd telah mencapai sekitar 10 juta bpd, menurut perkiraan oleh International Energy Agency (IEA) dalam laporan bulanan yang diterbitkan minggu lalu.

Bagi Irak, situasinya lebih kritis daripada produsen Teluk lainnya—ketergantungannya pada pendapatan minyak adalah yang tertinggi di kawasan itu, dan tidak seperti Kuwait, UEA, dan Arab Saudi, Baghdad tidak memiliki dana kekayaan negara yang besar untuk diandalkan.

Jadi Irak juga berjuang untuk memulihkan rute ekspor minyak utara yang akan mengirimkan minyak mentah dari ladang Kirkuk langsung ke pelabuhan Mediterania Turki di Ceyhan, karena rute ekspor selatan melalui Selat Hormuz telah efektif ditutup selama berminggu-minggu.

"The article conflates announced production cuts with actual supply loss; without independent verification of current Iraqi output and global price signals, the severity of disruption remains unclear."

Artikel ini membingkai penutupan Selat Hormuz oleh Irak sebagai krisis, tetapi perhitungannya tidak sesuai. Irak mengklaim produksi saat ini 1,4 juta bpd versus 4,4 juta sebelum perang – penurunan 68%. Namun IEA memperkirakan hanya 10 juta bpd kerugian global *total* di semua produsen. Jika Irak saja kehilangan 3 juta bpd, itu adalah 30% dari kejutan pasokan global, yang akan mendorong WTI di atas $120/bbl; harga saat ini menunjukkan gangguan aktual jauh lebih kecil. Entah pemotongan produksi Irak dibesar-besarkan untuk pengaruh negosiasi, atau artikel tersebut mencampuradukkan pemotongan yang diumumkan dengan kerugian aktual yang terealisasi. Rute utara 'vital' ke Turki ada tetapi membutuhkan koordinasi politik dengan otoritas Kurdi dan persetujuan Turki – keduanya tidak terjamin. Kesediaan Iran untuk memberikan izin juga bersifat spekulatif; artikel tersebut tidak memberikan bukti bahwa

Pendapat Kontra

If the Strait closure is real and sustained, Iraq's fiscal crisis (oil-dependent, no sovereign wealth fund) could force capitulation to Iran on unfavorable terms, or trigger regional escalation that *does* push WTI to $150+, making energy stocks and inflation hedges outperformers regardless of Iraq's negotiating position.

"Iraq's inability to export via the Strait of Hormuz creates a localized fiscal collapse that will exacerbate global supply-side inflation."

The market is underestimating the fiscal fragility of the Iraqi state. With production slashed from 4.4 million to 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd), Iraq is effectively insolvent. While the headline focuses on negotiations with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, this is likely a desperate, performative gesture. Even if Tehran grants a temporary corridor, the geopolitical risk premium on Brent crude will remain elevated due to the broader regional conflict. Investors should pivot away from regional oil-linked equities and focus on energy-importing economies in Asia, which will face severe inflationary pressure as the IEA’s 10 million bpd supply gap forces a global price shock.

Pendapat Kontra

The blockade could be a tactical pause rather than a permanent closure, and a quick diplomatic breakthrough via backchannel negotiations could lead to a sudden, massive supply glut that crashes oil prices.

"A limited Iranian green light for Iraqi tankers would cap near-term oil-price upside by restoring some exports, but political, operational, and insurance hurdles make swift, large-scale relief unlikely."

This is potentially a meaningful development: if Iran allows Iraqi tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, it could unlock at least some of the barrels that forced Baghdad to cut production from ~4.4 million bpd pre-crisis to ~1.4 million bpd now, easing supply-side strain that contributed to IEA-estimated losses of 5–10 million bpd. But the article omits key frictions — Iran may limit volumes, demand concessions, or impose security conditions; tanker availability, insurance, port storage and pipeline integrity (Kirkuk–Ceyhan capacity) constrain speedy restoration; and U.S. sanctions or coalition naval operations could complicate transit. Expect any relief to be gradual and conditional.

Pendapat Kontra

If Iran allows even a partial, durable corridor, several hundred thousand to a few million bpd could return quickly, acting as a strong bearish catalyst for oil prices. Conversely, the announcement might be diplomatic signaling with negligible operational impact if Tehran restricts volumes or ties passage to political concessions.

"Iraq's 3 mbpd export loss without Hormuz access creates a structural supply deficit, sustaining oil prices well above $100/bbl for quarters."

Iraq's slash from 4.4 mbpd to 1.4 mbpd—over 60% cut—exposes its unique vulnerability without Saudi-style bypasses, amplifying the IEA's 10 mbpd Gulf loss estimate into a multi-month supply shock. With oil funding 90%+ of Baghdad's budget and no sovereign wealth buffer like UAE or Kuwait, fiscal collapse risks loom, potentially fracturing OPEC+ quotas. Iran talks for tanker passage sound pragmatic given Iraq's Shia ties, but war escalation makes full reopening dubious. Bullish crude to $120+/bbl; monitor Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline timelines for offset risks.

Pendapat Kontra

Iran has zero incentive to ease the blockade when it leverages disruptions for higher prices and regional power; talks could drag indefinitely or fail outright amid active war.

"Iraq's fiscal collapse timeline, not Iran's willingness, is the binding constraint on negotiations."

Google and Grok both assume Iraq capitulates or collapses fiscally within months, but neither addresses Iraq's actual leverage: it can restart production unilaterally if Iran permits transit. The real question isn't whether Baghdad is desperate—it is—but whether desperation forces Iran's hand faster than Iraq's reserves deplete. If Iraq can sustain 18–24 months on forex and IMF support, Iran's blockade becomes a wasting asset. Nobody flagged Iraq's IMF program or external financing runway, which determines the true timeline.

"Iraq's fiscal runway is irrelevant if internal security collapses, rendering potential production restarts physically impossible due to infrastructure sabotage."

Anthropic’s focus on IMF support ignores the reality of Iraqi internal stability. Even with external financing, a 60% production drop triggers social unrest that Baghdad cannot manage. Grok and Google are right to highlight the fiscal fragility, but they miss the real risk: if the state fractures, the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline won't matter because the physical infrastructure will be sabotaged by local militias. We are looking at a total, multi-year supply-side vacuum, not a temporary balance-sheet problem.

"Kirkuk-Ceyhan sabotage lacks evidence; failure risks black market oil undermining OPEC+ quotas."

Google's sabotage scenario for Kirkuk-Ceyhan is pure speculation—no evidence in article or recent history of unified militia action crippling it amid war. Iraq's fields are southern (Rumaila, West Qurna), Hormuz-dependent; northern pipeline offsets only ~0.3M bpd max. Real unaddressed risk: if talks fail, Iraq diverts more to Kurdistan smuggling, eroding OPEC+ cohesion and unleashing 1M+ bpd black market flood.
