Companies operating in Egypt continue to make oil and gas discoveries and drill new wells at the start of the year, further boosting hydrocarbon production as the North African country looks to reduce import dependence.  Several companies have drilled successful wells in the Western Desert, Eastern Desert, and the Nile Delta, Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources said on Friday.   The new wells are expected to add around 47 million cubic feet of natural gas and about 4,300 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and…

Iran has been a major supplier of military equipment to Russia in recent years, especially since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but experts have told RFE/RL that this support no longer plays a key role in Moscow's war effort. Iranian missile sales to Russia, including air defense missiles and ballistic missiles, have totaled $2.7 billion since October 2021, according to a January 12 Bloomberg report citing an unnamed Western security official. The volume of trade is not publicly disclosed by Moscow, and Iran denies…

Over the last week or so, crude oil futures have been volatile, with a sharp run up to over $62, followed by a dramatic dip back below $60. Given crude’s normal volatility, that is not really surprising. What is surprising in some ways, though, is the fact that this bout of volatility was driven by the words of President Trump. You would think that, by now, traders would have learned that trying to predict the actions of this administration based on what they are saying at any given moment is a fool’s errand. Opinion is divided as to…

Politics, Geopolitics & Conflict Syria is moving into a dangerous new phase. Damascus is pushing Kurdish forces out of Aleppo. Kurdish autonomy west of the Euphrates is no longer being tolerated, and the order to withdraw east is not a bargaining position. The Aleppo advance changes leverage. Once Kurdish forces lose their urban footholds, they lose political weight quickly. That is why the protests in Kurdish areas are growing out of desperation over the loss of negotiating leverage. At the same time, Washington is running a parallel play…

The United States is setting up an air defence coordination unit in Qatar while publicly warning Iran about the use of lethal force. The unit itself is small and specific. It pulls together radar feeds, satellite warnings, and airspace tracking so U.S. systems and Gulf partners are looking at the same picture if something is launched. It does not plan strikes. It does not pick targets. It does not authorize action. Its job is to reduce confusion in the first minutes after an incident. The move raises the profile, but it is meant to contain what…

Light crude oil futures posted one of their most volatile weeks in months, swinging nearly $4 from a low of $58.45 to a high of $62.36 before settling at $59.17 on Thursday evening—up just $0.05 or +0.08% for the week. The dramatic price action was driven primarily by escalating and then rapidly diminishing geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran, compounded by the resumption of Venezuelan oil exports. Iran Takes Center Stage as Primary Market Driver The week's dominant narrative centered on Iran, where massive protests and a violent government…

If anyone is still wondering whether the Trump Administration’s goal of $50 per barrel oil price would hurt American drillers, the answer came this week from oil tycoon and wildcatter Harold Hamm, who is ceasing drilling operations in North Dakota for the first time in decades. “This will be the first time in over 30 years that Harold Hamm has not had an operation with drilling rigs in North Dakota,” Hamm, who founded Continental Resources, told Bloomberg in a telephone interview published on Friday.  “There’s…

Two years after abruptly ending the EV subsidies due to budget constraints, Germany is returning the incentives for buying electric vehicles with federal funds of $3.5 billion (3 billion euros) by 2029.   With the return of the incentives, Germany plans to prop up its ailing automotive sector, which has suffered a lot in recent years from surging costs, supply chain issues, and Chinese competition in EV sales.  The end of the previous EV subsidy scheme in Germany at the end of 2023 under the previous government resulted in a plunge…
