Oil refiners have stumbled into one of the best profit environments in years. Crude prices have fallen back to where they traded before the Iran war erupted. But gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel remain stubbornly expensive. That combination has pushed refining margins to extraordinary levels, giving refiners a windfall that few expected just weeks after the Strait of Hormuz reopened. The benchmark U.S. 3-2-1 crack spread—a closely watched measure of refining profitability—recently climbed above $60 per barrel, the highest level on record.…

While the United States has been the world’s biggest consumer of oil for decades, it became the largest oil producer, too, back in 2018, and has retained that crown ever since. The shale revolution and the growth in the Permian oil production have allowed the U.S. not only to retain the top spot ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia, but to extend the lead over these OPEC+ allies, whose output has been restrained by the voluntary production cuts in recent years. This year, the U.S. has been expanding the gap further despite the modest growth (so…

OPEC has trimmed its 2026 global oil demand growth forecast for the third straight month, even as crude production rebounds across the Gulf and tanker traffic slowly returns to the Strait of Hormuz. In its monthly oil market report released Monday, OPEC lowered expected oil demand growth this year to 780,000 barrels per day, down another 190,000 bpd from last month's forecast. The producer group still expects stronger consumption than many other forecasters, including the International Energy Agency, and even raised its demand growth estimate for…

As might be expected in the zero-sum game of global energy, there is much more than meets the eye to the acquisition by Abu Dhabi-headquartered international investment company XRG of an additional equity interest in Trains (self-contained production facilities) 4 and 5 of the U.S.’s flagship Rio Grande liquefied natural gas (LNG) project at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. In practical terms, this gives the firm that is wholly owned by the UAE’s oil and gas giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) much deeper exposure to one of…

While the Trump administration keeps pushing domestic energy addition through funding vehicles and executive orders aimed at grid reliability and AI-driven demand growth, two next-generation geothermal developers just posted updates that move past announcements and into measurable progress on drilling and capital formation. Fervo announced that its third-generation well design at Cape Station in Utah has lifted drilling rates by 143% compared with the first Cape well.  The latest well, Sawtooth 7, reached 19,448 feet measured depth, including…

The CEO of America’s largest utility, EXELON, foresees blackouts in the US in 2027. To boost power supply Calvin Butler wants states to allow his utility to build new power plants. Opponents will object, saying this would saddle utility consumers with the risks. Whereas now, the builders take the risks. Meanwhile, we are scratching our heads because economists have long theorized that utilities build excess rate base in order to raise earnings. We would amend this to argue that utility managers only deploy excess capital when they can earn…

Oil prices jumped more than 8% on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the United States would reinstate its blockade on Iran, forcing traders to once again price in the risk of prolonged disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

The European Union will not impose sanctions on the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and the chief of Russia’s largest private oil company, after Bulgaria vetoed the proposal. Patriarch Kirill, a vocal supporter of President Vladimir Putin and public backer of the war on Ukraine, had been expected to be included in the latest round of financial penalties that the 27-member bloc was considering. Kirill “consistently justified and supported Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine,” calling it “sacred,” according…

The Strait of Hormuz reopened less than a month ago, but Dubai is already planning for the next closure. DP World is reportedly in talks to build a new multipurpose port and container terminal in Fujairah on the UAE's east coast, creating another shipping route that avoids Hormuz altogether. According to the Financial Times, construction could take as little as 18 months. The company has acknowledged it is pursuing diversification projects to get through future disruptions. That timeline says plenty. Ports are built to solve problems measured in…
