Inter-regional oil and gas trade is vulnerable to interruption and the threat must be assessed and evaluated

Most of the oil and gas exported by Middle Eastern countries flows through just three channels, all of which are susceptible to sudden closure as a result of accidents, piracy, terrorist attacks or war
