Taiyo Oil has affirmed that Japan needs to continue relying on Middle Eastern oil to meet the majority of its energy needs, due to economic viability and lower costs, despite current tensions in the region. The CEO explained that the optimal strategy focuses on purchasing crude at low prices during peacetime while maintaining flexibility to provide alternatives in times of crisis. He pointed out that relying on more than 90% of its oil from the Middle East is considered the best option according to Bloomberg Agency. This comes as part of the Japanese government's efforts to diversify supply sources following regional disruptions and conflicts that have damaged energy supplies. As a result, Taiyo Oil has reduced its share of imports from the Middle East from 40% to 15% in favor of sources from the United States and Argentina, with an anticipated return to previous levels once stability is restored.
