Why This Matters
Kpler's Homayoun Falakshahi suggests that a successful oil reserve release would require a sudden and rapid action, as the market cannot handle a gradual release. He also believes that a 400 million barrel release might not be sufficient to address the current crisis if the war lasts beyond 45-50 days.

Homayoun Falakshahi, head of crude oil analytics at Kpler, discusses the significance of a potential effort to release emergency oil reserves by the world's largest economies. Speaking on Bloomberg Television, he says the key element of the move would be the speed at which the oil is released. "I don't think the market has the ability for this to be gradual," Falakshahi says. He also adds that a potential release of 400 million barrels "won't be enough" if the war lasts more than 45 to 50 days. (Source: Bloomberg)
