Japan possesses one of the world’s largest strategic oil stockpiles, estimated at about 206 to 254 days of supply, to guard against interruptions in global deliveries. With virtually no domestic fossil fuel reserves, the country depends heavily on imports, chiefly from the Middle East, which made energy security a national priority after the oil crises of the 1970s. To counter this dependence, Japan constructed extensive storage facilities, including underground coastal caverns and large tank farms. Its reserves well exceed the International Energy Agency’s 90-day requirement, providing a strong buffer during geopolitical tensions or natural disasters and helping to protect economic stability. #Japan #OilPrices #Viral #ViralPost #Trending #TrendingNow
