El plan, que reafirma el control iraní del estrecho de Ormuz y mantiene el derecho del país al enriquecimiento nuclear, no es el mismo que el que el presidente Trump calificó de "base viable" para las negociaciones. 8 de abril de  2026.-Irán ...

March has turned into a month of hard power tests for Iran – and so far, it has been quietly exceeding expectations. By effectively blocking the Strait of Hormuz to all but its own cargoes (or the ones that have received their approval), Tehran has demonstrated that the trajectory of the conflict is far from being dictated by its counterparts. Faced with the risk of acute shortages in medium-sour crude, the US administration has been forced into a partial sanctions retreat, allowing Iranian barrels already at sea to re-enter the market. The…

With fuel rationing beginning in some Asian countries and analysts warning Europe is next, talk has started about windfall profit taxes on Big Oil. The supermajors are the first target for additional taxes when oil prices surge, but they are not the only ones benefiting from such surges. This time around, the biggest winners are not just oil producers but oil producers with alternative export routes. The war that the United States and Israel started against Iran at the end of February has cost the Middle East’s petrostates some 11 million…

No country was more prepared for the war in Iran than China. As the rest of Asia reels from oil and gas shortages due to the Iran War, Beijing is sitting pretty thanks to its vast stores of crude oil and its enormous clean energy infrastructure. China has been building up its domestic clean energy sector faster than any other country on Earth at the same time that it has been stockpiling massive amounts of surplus oil and gas, all in anticipation of a major geopolitical disruption just like the one we’re seeing now. As a result, China is…

8 de abril de 2026.- Irán cerró de nuevo el estrecho de Ormuz este miércoles en respuesta a los ataques israelíes contra el grupo armado Hezbollah en Líbano, lo que sembró dudas sobre si se mantendrá un alto el fuego ya de por sí precario para poner fin a más de un mes de conflicto. Por su parte, la...

Just over a month since President Donald Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran, taken in the shadow of his military intervention in Venezuela, the contrast between the two is hard to ignore. One intervention is drifting into uncertainty, while the other is settling into something easily described as a success. As the world’s attention remains fixed on the volleys of missiles crossing the Middle East, the idea that Iran might follow Venezuela’s path now feels slightly absurd. For a moment, it was a compelling story of a quick…

Bridger Pipeline LLC has disclosed its proposed pipeline to transport crude from the ‌U.S.-Canada border to Wyoming would cost approximately US$2 billion and have a maximum capacity of 1.13 million barrels per day (bpd). The Casper-Wyoming company has proposed a 36-inch pipeline spanning nearly 650 miles (1,050 km) from the U.S.-Canada border in Phillips County, Montana, to Guernsey, Wyoming. The pipeline will initially operate at approximately 550,000 bpd; however, Plainview Energy Analytics has noted that batching light crude oil could allow…

Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, a critical artery bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, was reportedly hit in an Iranian drone attack on Wednesday, Reuters has reported. According to the report, a pumping station along the 1,200 km pipeline was struck by a drone early morning on Wednesday.

The latest global oil shock has created an ideal environment for Suriname’s struggling oil boom. The impoverished South American country of less than seven hundred thousand is endeavoring to launch a transformative oil boom. Poor drilling results, a high gas-to-oil ratio, and conflicting seismic data saw Suriname’s oil boom put on hold during 2022. There are, however, obvious signs that the development of offshore Block 58 is back on track. Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, will drive higher…

U.S. Oil & Gas giant Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) has signaled that surging oil and gas prices triggered by the conflict with Iran could increase its first-quarter upstream earnings by up to $2.9 billion, with the oil price boost expected to outweigh production disruptions in the Middle East. Exxon estimates that disruptions to its assets in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar will lower its global oil-equivalent production by 6% in the first quarter compared to Q4 2025, but higher commodity prices are projected to provide a profit lift between…
