Norwegian offshore oil production significantly exceeded expectations in April, with total liquids output climbing to 2.158 million barrels per day — 6.7% above official forecasts — as Europe grows increasingly dependent on a stable North Sea energy supply in an increasingly fragile global market. Fresh production data from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate also showed total liquids production rose by 16,000 barrels per day from March levels and surged 129,000 barrels per day above April 2025 production. The April liquids stream consisted…

The challenge of solar-powered energy has always been the means to store it. And the intermittency of solar and wind energy makes that storage capability essential. Energy from the sun and wind can only be created — and stored — when the sun shines or the wind blows. But that technological gap may be closing thanks to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who have created a “rechargeable solar battery” that stores sunlight in molecules and later releases enough heat to boil water. The scientists started…

Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports plummeted to 4.974 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, marking the lowest level on record since the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) began tracking the data. According to official figures released on May 20, 2026, and cited by Reuters, shipments from the world's top oil exporter dropped sharply by 31.6% month-on-month from the 7.276 million bpd recorded in February.  Saudi production in March clocked in at 6.967 million bpd, down from 10.882 million bpd in February, also the lowest on record,…

Nigeria is actively increasing its crude oil production in response to major global supply disruptions caused by the ongoing war in Iran, with authorities now aiming to raise output by 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the immediate term to capture widening supply gaps. Data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) shows Nigeria's total liquid volume output at 1.66 million bpd, buoyed by high-performing offshore assets including Bonga, Erha and Egina. Whereas intermittent output spikes have hit ~1.8 million bpd, structural…

The escalation of conflict across the Middle East and the disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz have introduced a variable into the maritime energy transition that regulatory frameworks were never designed to handle: the possibility that conventional marine fuel becomes unavailable because competing domestic priorities absorb the available supply. This changes the analytical framing for clean shipping in a big way, just as Norway introduced its new GHG-reduction rule. Steeper decline than FuelEU Maritime, similar architecture…

Electric vehicle sales could hit nearly 30% of all car sales in the world this year as drivers accelerate a shift to EVs and hybrids amid spiking fuel prices in the wake of the Iran war, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.

Crude oil inventories in the United States decreased by 7.9 million barrels during the week ending May 15, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released on Wednesday. The decrease brings commercial stockpiles to 445.0 million barrels, according to government data, which is now 2% below the five-year average for this time of year. The EIA’s data release follows API’s figures that were released a day earlier, which reported that crude oil inventories saw a draw of 9.1 million barrels in the period.…

As a result of spiking fuel prices and concerns about jet fuel supply shortages, the UK government has waived sanctions on imports of diesel and jet fuel processed from Russia-origin crude in third countries. The easing of a small part of the UK’s strict sanctions and bans on Russian crude and oil product imports is to protect supply security, the Labour government argues. But the Conservatives slammed the decision as “insane” and a sign that the sanctions are being undermined by domestic political agenda. This “small and…
