Global seaborne jet fuel exports crashed to a seasonal low in April as supplies remained trapped in the Middle East and Asian refiners slashed run rates amid lower crude availability, energy flows analytics firm Vortexa said in a report on Friday. Global seaborne exports of jet/kerosene fuels slumped to as low as 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, down by 630,000 bpd from the same month last year. That's also at the lowest end of the ten-year range between 2016 and 2025, Vortexa's freight tracking data showed. The crash in exports of jet…

More than 40 India-bound vessels, nearly half of which carry energy products, are still trapped in the Persian Gulf, unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, officials told Indian outlet The Economic Times on Friday. The ships are laden with crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and LNG, as well as fertilizer and other products.    A total of 13 ships flagged to India are still stuck west of the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Indian government. The Indian authorities have drafted a list of 41 vessels for priority evacuation…

For decades, Western militaries have been sleepwalking into a strategic crisis. A crisis that the war in Ukraine revealed, and the escalating conflict in the Middle East is now making existential. Modern warfare is no longer dominated by tanks, jets, and billion-dollar weapons systems. Instead, it is defined by drones. Ukraine learned this lesson the hard way in 2024, when it had to produce an estimated 1.2 million drones to counter Russian advances on the battlefield. These weren’t fringe systems or experimental tools. They became the backbone…

Asia is trying to save itself any way it can. With Gulf barrels harder to get, buyers are pulling crude from wherever it is still available – even from as far away as Brazil. The barrels are alike to those stranded by the Strait of Hormuz blockage, Asia’s appetite for them need is soaring. The only problem is that they have to cross half the world first. The timing of the US-Iran war could hardly be better for Brazil. Its crude exports reached a record 2.3 million b/d in March and stayed at the same level in April, just as China was…

International companies are flocking back to Venezuela, with deals worth billions getting closed under U.S. management of the country’s oil resources. Venezuela’s oil exports hit a seven-year high in March, and this may be just the beginning of a major rebound. Big Oil was quick to signal interest in Venezuela’s oil—and natural gas—almost as soon as the United States ousted President Nicolas Maduro and effectively took over Venezuela’s oil industry. As early as January, Shell and BP were reported to seek a license…

The U.S.-Iran war has created a military crisis in the Gulf. But for oil markets, the more dangerous battlefield may now be the futures curve. The first shock was geographic. It appeared on maps, vessel-tracking screens, insurance desks, and refinery procurement calls: the Strait of Hormuz restricted, tankers delayed, Gulf exports impaired, and refiners scrambling for replacement barrels. The second shock is financial. It is moving through hedge books, margin accounts, cargo-finance lines, refinery schedules, LNG contracts, diesel inventories,…

A decade ago, China was widely expected to become a shale powerhouse. By some estimates, it holds more technically recoverable shale gas than the United States, and there was real optimism that it could replicate the U.S. shale revolution. So far, that surge hasn’t materialized. China’s gas production is rising, but in 2025 accounted for only 6% of the world’s production, a far cry from the U.S. share of 25%. There are several reasons for this, including more complex geology and deeper formations, but one factor receives far less…

Canada has recorded its first trade surplus in six months, defying forecasts of a deficit thanks to surging oil and gold prices. Canada’s merchandise trade balance swung to a $1.78 billion surplus in March against expectations of a shortfall of $2.88 billion, with total exports rising 8.5% to $72.8 billion, the second-highest level on record. The country’s energy exports jumped 15.6% Y/Y, reaching their highest level since late 2022, largely driven by a nearly 20% spike in crude oil prices amid the war in Iran. Canada's exports of metallic…
