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 qlobal deliveries. With virtually no domestic fossil fuel reserves, the country depends heavily on imports chieflv from the Middle East, which made energy security a national priority after the oil crises of the 1 970s. To counter this dependence, Japan constructed extensive storage facilities, including underground coastal caverns and large tank farms. Its reserves well exceed the Internationa Energy Agency's 90-day requirement providing a strong buffer during geopolitica tensions or natural disasters and helping to protect economic stability. #Japan #OilPrices #Viral #ViralPost #Trending #TrendingNow
