Tropical Cyclone Gonu : kennyRAT said: why NOT gulf of mexico Potential Impact on the Energy Sector Many of you may have already heard about Tropical Cyclone Gonu, a Category 4 storm which is currently heading into the Gulf of Oman. Due to the unusual location and track of this storm, it is likely that both forecasters and governments throughout the region may underestimate the potential damage such a well organized storm can produce. Even though sustained 160MPH winds might logically seem to be the biggest danger associated with such storms, in most cases the potentially devastating storm surge is the event that overwhelms those in the storms path. Based on concave shape of the Gulf and the relatively shallow depth of the sea floor, the magnitude of the storm surge will be amplified considerably the farther the storm moves up into the gulf. This is the first major tropical cyclone ever to enter the Gulf of Oman so it is hard to predict what kind of disruption it may cause to the 15-17.5 million barrels per day that travel through the Straits of Hormuz. One thing to be aware of is that any track that takes the storm farther NW than is currently forecasted could cause a significant increase in sea level and storm surge that reaches the areas of the Straits, creating a much more significant disruption than the oil markets may have predicted. This is by no means a sure fire investment, it is merely speculation on a tropical weather event. That being said the astute investor may find the risk to reward ratio extremely attractive.
