Russia’s fuel oil shipments went mostly to Saudi Arabia and India in July as Asia and the Middle East remain the key outlets for Moscow’s fuel oil and vacuum gasoil (VGO) amid import bans and embargoes in the West.

Saudi Arabia, which runs fuel oil in power plants to meet soaring air-conditioning demand in the desert summer, and India, whose refiners run fuel oil as…

As it has with other countries, China has accused Canada of discriminatory trade practices. The move by China’s Ministry of Commerce…

PetroChina has agreed to buy three natural gas storage facilities from its state-owned parent CNPC for ¥40 billion (US$5.59 billion), adding nearly 11 billion cubic meters of working capacity to its portfolio. It’s a deal that looks less like housekeeping between affiliates and more like a signal of where China’s biggest oil and gas firm sees the energy market heading. The company’s timing is no accident. PetroChina reported first-half 2025 profit of US$11.75 billion, down 5.4% year-on-year as weaker crude prices and slumping…

The U.S. government is overhauling undersea cable rules for the first time since 2001, tightening restrictions to keep companies linked to adversaries such as China, Russia, and Iran out of the supply chain, according to Nikkei Asia. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved proposed rules that bar adversary-based firms from working on U.S.-owned undersea cables or supplying related equipment. Approved companies will need cybersecurity plans and must certify their supply chains are free of such entities. To encourage investment, the…

India is dusting off its idle gas-fired power plants, not because they’re suddenly cheap, but because peak demand in the blistering months of May and June may leave the grid gasping. An adviser to the power ministry said this week the government is weighing a plan to run the costly plants only as seasonal back-up. Gas has become the ugly duckling of India’s power mix. Once good for 3% of generation in 2020, its share has shriveled to about 1.5% thanks to prices bouncing between $8 and $18 per million British thermal units. Coal—far…

Every few months, the noise from across the Atlantic starts up again: drill baby drill. Burn what you’ve got. Reopen the rigs. Don’t let the transition ruin a good oil boom. And now, the suggestion is that Europe should follow suit, start drilling in the North Sea like it’s 1973, maybe even get Groningen going again and pretend this is a real strategy. Let’s be fair. This message comes from a place of deep ideological and economic alignment with fossil fuel producers. It’s understandable if you’re financially,…
