In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by a staggering 11.12 million barrels. Commercial crude oil inventories excluding the SPR have lost more than 56 million barrels over the last 27 weeks, but US crude inventories are still only 5 million barrels below where they were at the beginning of the year, according to API data, kept in check in part thanks to draws from the SPR.

A new Middle East energy system came into view at the Energy Trading Week Middle East conference in Dubai last month. The region’s world’s-lowest costs for solar energy appeared with enormous potential to transform how countries consume and export energy in low-carbon products. “Renewable power is actually very competitive now, so the spotlight for this region when it comes to energy transition is around three low carbon products," said Saravanan Manivel, Director for Low Carbon Fuels at ENGIE Global Energy Management & Sales.…

In October 2025, the PKK (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê, Kurdistan Workers' Party) announced it was withdrawing its fighters from Türkiye to northern Iraq as part of a peace effort with Ankara after four decades of hostilities. The statement said all PKK forces in Türkiye were being pulled back to northern Iraq "to avoid clashes or provocations." This followed the group's May 2025 decision to dissolve and a July ceremony where fighters burned their weapons. In late 2025 the PKK also said it had pulled out of the Zap border…

Geothermal has long been the clean, firm power source that was always a few breakthroughs away from being cheap enough to matter. Numbers buried in a Nevada utility filing suggest that day may have arrived. Joel Edwards, co-founder and CTO of geothermal developer Zanskar, put it bluntly earlier this month: "to all the geothermal believers out there, the flippening has come." In NV Energy's 2026 resource plan, three geothermal offers came in at $105 to $107 per megawatt-hour. That's below the roughly $114/MWh capacity-weighted average for the 11…

The European Union reaffirmed its opposition to Arctic oil and gas development on Tuesday, even as the bloc prepares for another expensive winter with depleted gas storage and prices approaching levels last seen during the 2022 energy crisis.
