As of writing, the price of a barrel of oil from Oman is $153. This is much closer to reality than Brent Crude which, as I understand it, is a futures contract and vulnerable to market manipulation and speculation. $200 per barrel isn't that far off. Even if the war ended tomorrow, we could still see this happen since it takes time to ramp up production again and a lot of infrastructure has already been damaged or completely destroyed.
