This week, I find myself in a bit of a quandary. As a rule, I dislike having a large cash position, but that is where I find myself right now. And try as I might, I can’t find anywhere to set it to work. To anyone trained in a dealing room, money is the tool you use to make money, so sitting on a lot of undeployed cash shows either a lack of imagination or just basic laziness. I would like to think that neither of those things apply to me, but I genuinely think that cash is not a bad option right now, even for an energy investor.  Nor…

Cold snaps across the United States and a power outage-driven closure of Kazakhstan’s…

The government controls territory, but not sentiment.  Sanctions and unrest are now fully intertwined. Oil exports are restricted, banking channels are limited, the currency remains weak, and inflation has…

Politics, Geopolitics & Conflict It’s time for DC to evaluate whether Venezuela’s new hydrocarbons law can produce actual supply gains, and with that in mind, the U.S. energy secretary traveled to Caracas this week, touring Chevron-PDVSA joint operations. The new law allows broader private operating control and more flexible terms, a break with the past deterrents. The Trump administration is engaging, but on a results basis: sanctions relief depends on measurable production increases and contractual stability. The core issue is…
