In the ongoing digital transformation of the energy industry, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most discussed — and misunderstood — tools available to operators. While the promises of AI often stretch toward the speculative, the technology’s most immediate and profound impact is already visible in how companies organize, interpret, and act upon data. For national oil companies (NOCs), this impact is potentially transformative. Unlike many private firms, NOCs sit atop immense, often underutilized data reservoirs…

Previously, we reported that Saudi Arabia is digging in for a "long and shallow" oil price war as it looks to regain market share from rivals like U.S. shale producers and OPEC+ members who have been exceeding their production quotas. This comes after Saudi Arabia made significant production sacrifices to support prices for over three years, which allowed competitors to increase their output. Saudi Arabia has also been hedging its oil price bets by rapidly diversifying its economy away from fossil fuels in recent years, expanding into areas such…

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has approved a controversial proposal by Canadian oil and gas giant Enbridge (NYSE:ENB), to reroute an aging oil pipeline around a Wisconsin tribal reservation, saying the project "complied with all applicable federal laws and regulations." Enbridge proposed the 41-mile reroute to remove the pipeline off land held by the Bad River Band after a court ordered in 2023 that the pipeline should be removed from the tribal land by June 2026.  The judge also ordered Enbridge to pay the tribe over $5 million for trespassing.…

The global hydrogen industry came into view, specifically from importing countries’ perspective, at European Hydrogen Week earlier this month in Brussels. There was a palpable sense of frustration with what many consider an overbearing regulatory framework causing delays. But also a sense of inevitability, with hydrogen mandates in place and pipeline construction now underway. Europe is set to be the world’s largest demand center for low-carbon hydrogen. There was also a sense of determination in the face of a growing number of project…

Kazakhstan’s government has reopened talks with ExxonMobil about expanding the Kashagan oil field—the massive Caspian Sea development once hailed as the world’s biggest oil discovery in 30 years. The discussions reportedly include tapping undeveloped western sections of the reservoir and could be linked to Exxon’s Tengiz license, which expires in 2033. The timing is interesting. Kazakhstan just spent the better part of this year in court with the same group of Western oil majors that operate Kashagan—Eni, Shell, Exxon,…

Joe Biden famously declared that he wanted the US to be zero emissions by 2050. According to an AI Overview, zero emissions means a process or vehicle produces no waste products or pollutants, such as no tailpipe emissions from a car. The more conservative “net-zero emissions" means all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by removing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere through methods like reforestation or carbon capture technology. The Guardian colorfully describes what an America that achieves this goal could…
