Eni is looking to squeeze more cash out of LNG without giving up control of the business. Reuters reported Tuesday that the Italian energy major has hired Morgan Stanley to explore a potential deal involving its floating LNG assets, with infrastructure giants including Apollo, KKR, and Stonepeak reportedly approached in early-stage discussions.

Brent crude nears $110 as Trump warns the Iran ceasefire is on “life support,” while Gulf producers signal oil infrastructure repairs may stretch into 2027.

The tiny impoverished South American country of Suriname has been battling for six years to launch a petroleum boom, which pundits believe will replicate neighboring Guyana’s oil rush. A combination of poor drilling results, high gas-to-oil ratio, and mismatched seismic data delayed the emergence of what could be South America’s last great offshore oil boom. Suriname’s favorable regulatory environment and low break-even prices, coupled with the recent price shock following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, will drive greater investment…

Spiking LNG prices and reduced supply from the Middle East have prompted Japan and South Korea to raise coal power generation and coal imports in recent weeks. Gas-fired power generation in Japan and South Korea, the world’s second- and third-largest LNG importers after China, slumped to multi-month lows in April and early May. That’s because supply from the Middle East crashed with no Qatari shipment passing through the Strait of Hormuz between February 28 and this past weekend, when the first cargo cleared the chokepoint bound for…

Some have touted electrification as a way of weathering the crisis and avoiding future ones.
