BEING

Stock levels for domestic crude oil are far lower than in past years, leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth that might be prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures.

Guys,

I dont see any issue with the above sentence , but it doesnt sound good to my ears? Can someone highlight the grammatical issue with it?Will there be any change in meaning if I replace supplies being disrupted with supplies disruption?

Thank you

The original sounds fine. If you want to use your form, you will have to change it to 'disruption of supplies' or 'supply disruption'.
