how many barrels of oil will projected to transport thru strait of hormuz in 2030?

There isn’t a single agreed forecast for 2030 specifically, but a widely cited current baseline is that roughly 20 million barrels per day of oil and oil products move through the Strait of Hormuz under normal conditions. That means a rough annual flow would be about 7.3 billion barrels per year if volumes stayed near that level through 2030.

What that means

  • Daily flow: about 20 million barrels per day.
  • Annualized flow: about 7.3 billion barrels per year.
  • 2030 projection: public sources available here do not give a clean, specific 2030 Strait-of-Hormuz throughput forecast, so any 2030 number is best treated as an estimate rather than a firm forecast.

Simple takeaway

If you want a quick answer, the best estimate is that the strait will likely still handle around 20 million barrels per day unless major rerouting, production shifts, or conflict materially change trade flows.

Note on uncertainty

The Strait of Hormuz is a chokepoint, so even modest disruption can change the number sharply. Recent reporting in 2026 shows how quickly supply expectations can shift when the strait is disrupted.

TL;DR: About 20 million barrels per day now, or roughly 7.3 billion barrels a year; a precise 2030 forecast wasn’t available in the sources I found.
