Last year was an event-filled period for South America’s growing oil industry. The continent’s energy map is being rewritten by a few unexpected world-class oil booms, which makes the region a key source of non-OPEC production growth. There is also the potential for Venezuela to reemerge as a major petroleum producer after U.S. President Donald Trump launched Operation Southern Spear in August 2025, which culminated with President Nicolas Maduro’s capture in a daring night raid. Let us take a closer look at what lies ahead for…

Researchers in Hong Kong and China have developed a new form of battery that is more eco-friendly and longer lasting than lithium ion batteries –  and it runs on tofu brine. The new water battery is still in research phases, but if the technology proves to be scalable enough to hit commercial markets, it could be a game-changer for the energy and tech sectors. “Compared with current aqueous battery systems … our system delivers exceptional long-term cycling stability and environmental friendliness under neutral conditions,”…

Americans spend close to half a trillion dollars per year on electricity. The electric industry spends over a quarter trillion dollars a year on a capital program to replace old plants and add new ones to enable it to serve new demand. The industry and its customers have conflicting feelings about big capital spending. On the one hand, the spending should assure better service (good for consumers) and increase the rate base (good for utility investors). On the other hand, the spending will surely raise prices because the new plant and equipment…

The rare earth issue facing the United States is not a mining story. It’s a materials story.Modern defense systems are not built on ore bodies. They are built on rare earth metals, alloys, and permanent magnets. And while the U.S. has resources in the ground, it still does not reliably control the steps that turn mined material into usable, qualified inputs for industry and defense. That exposure sits in the middle of the supply chain, after mining and before finished components. It’s the point where separated material must be converted…

Kyiv is threatening to significantly increase attacks…

Exxon Mobil Corp. is using its rapid buildout in Guyana as a selling point in talks with other governments looking to develop oil and gas reserves, according to Bloomberg.  The company says the speed and efficiency of its offshore projects there — which lifted production from zero to nearly 1 million barrels a day in just over six years — show it can execute complex developments better than rivals. Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods calls that a “unique value proposition” for host countries. “We’re going…

Russia is not amused. Moscow on Thursday blasted the European Union’s plan to permanently ban Russian oil imports, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova calling the proposal madness and suggesting only a “madman” would even float the idea. The language was vintage Kremlin — theatrical, indignant, and aimed as much at European voters as at Brussels policymakers. The European Commission is preparing to submit a legal proposal on April 15 to make the ban permanent, according to EU officials and a document seen by…
