Thesis
Author: Freeman LewinThe oil shock shifted from geopolitical risk to measurable physical scarcity as Saudi loadings halted and Libya outages spread. Falsified by rapid loading and field restarts without lower exports or inventory draws across the Middle East. Test thesis against daily AIS tanker departures, terminal schedules, pipeline-flow telemetry, field-outage logs, and crude inventories for Saudi Arabia and Libya.
