The 32 International Energy Agency member countries agreed to make 400 million barrels from emergency reserves available after the war disrupted oil markets. It was the largest collective release in the IEAโ€™s history. The response aimed to buffer price and supply shocks; it could not substitute for safe, regular shipping or resolve the political causes of the disruption.
