With Russia still focused on Ukraine and China on Taiwan, the U.S. and its key Western allies -- most notably, Great Britain, France, and Italy -- are continuing to secure highly strategic geopolitical gains across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Following Moscow’s loss of its key client state in the region, Syria, the allies have been quick not just to build out their influence there but also in Libya, a longtime area of interest to the Kremlin following the West’s ill-thought-through removal of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. This…

The oil price decline over the past year has started to dent Big Oil’s earnings, which have slipped from the 2022 and 2023 highs. The persistently low oil prices at about $60 per barrel in the past months, compared to $100 in 2022 and $80 in 2023 and 2024, signal that part of the shareholder returns of the European oil majors may not be sustainable going forward. Europe’s top oil firms may start sacrificing some of their payouts by announcing in the coming weeks cuts to their share buybacks amid the lower oil prices, analysts say. Stronger…

The United Nations is discussing a new international tax collection cooperation regime that, among other things, aims to extract money from the oil and gas industry for climate change. It is not the first attempt to make the industry pay, and it will not be the last. The idea’s chances of success, however, remain uncertain. The idea is part of the Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, a deal that is currently being negotiated at the UN headquarters in New York with a view to improving tax collection globally—and raising…

Washington is preparing to take another step deeper into Venezuela’s oil sector, with plans to issue a broad license that would allow companies to pump crude in the country for the first time in years. According to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg, the U.S. Treasury could issue the general license as soon as this week. If it happens, it would follow last week’s authorization allowing companies to buy, sell, ship, and refine Venezuelan crude—provided the activity runs through established U.S.-linked entities.…

Rising energy demand, inflation, grid investment, extreme weather and volatile fuel costs are increasing the cost of electricity faster than many households can keep up, and there are no easy fixes, experts say. Mitigating the problem would require threading a needle of policy alternatives, but even with the right policies, it will take time to reduce customer energy burdens. The U.S. Energy Information Administration puts the national average residential price per kilowatt hour in 2026 at 18 cents, up approximately 37% from 2020. “I…

When Israel and the United States conducted an intensive bombing campaign in Iran last year, Tehran's regional network of armed proxies and partners largely stood on the sidelines. But the so-called axis of resistance is expected to enter the fray and back Iran if US President Donald Trump follows through on his threats and authorizes military action against the Islamic Republic, experts say. Iran views a potential conflict with the United States as an existential threat, unlike the war in June, said Hamidreza Azizi, a fellow at the German Institute…
