Kyari, who represented Nigeria at this year’s 9th Gulf Intelligence Energy Markets Forum at the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the attack was surprising. According to him, despite the unexpected attack, the blast didn’t cause a major damage to the oil market. 

He made this known while reacting to a question on where Brent crude oil prices are going to be at the end of the year. Kyari told the conference participants which included local and international oil traders, refiners, ports and ship owners, that the attack didn’t have a severe impact, “$60-$65 is the overall concensus.”

Adding that “Supply & Demand is more predictable now than it was in the past. Saudi Aramco attacks were a shock, but the market reaction was mild” Kyari was quoted in a Tweet he retweeted on Twitter. The theme for this year’s forum was, IMO 2020: Megatrends and the Energy Transition. NNPC stated that Kyari and other participants had gathered to discuss major issues towards accelerating alignment across the entire maritime value chain and making IMO 2020 compliance a reality.
