When the UK’s government slapped a 25% windfall tax on oil and gas producers in 2022, the industry warned this could be the death knell for local oil and gas production. Four years later, the UK’s oil and gas industry is being described as “irrelevant”.

This is seen dropping to as little as 150,000 barrels by 2050. In fact, it may drop even more sharply…

Mainstream media is focusing on factors such as increased hulls, greater flexibility, and improved service for export projects. This focus is, however, too narrow, as the UAE’s national champion is not simply expanding its fleet. ADNOC is clearly establishing the physical…

The runaway energy demands of the artificial intelligence boom are pushing a new wave of innovative next-gen energy ambitions. Big Tech is pouring money into fast-tracking the development of futuristic energy alternatives like enhanced geothermal and nuclear fusion in an attempt to stay one step ahead of the energy monster the sector is creating.  Large language models are already consuming about 1.5 percent of the world’s energy, according to figures from the International Energy Agency. And as AI models become more advanced, they will…

British aviation company Rolls-Royce has big plans for nuclear power, as well as other major energy projects, having been selected as the United Kingdom’s preferred bidder to build the country’s first small modular reactors (SMRs) last year. The company is expected to fast-track the development of the U.K.’s first SMRs, as well as explore other innovative fields, such as producing power from space.
