Refinery production figures, export contracts and tanker routes are now off-limits to public reporting in Russia, under a decree Putin signed Monday, Reuters reported. The Kremlin points to unfriendly actions by Washington and its allies as the reason, and the restrictions took effect on signing, with the government given 10 days to define exactly which product codes are covered. Data on refining volumes at Russian plants is now restricted, along with contract details, including product names, quantities, prices, buyers, sellers, payment terms,…

Colombia’s economically vital petroleum industry is in a death spiral. Oil and natural gas production is falling despite efforts to boost output and grow efficiencies. New President Abelardo de la Espriella, a former criminal defense attorney, has put energy security and hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, firmly back on the agenda. A fierce battle reemerged over plans by the new administration to introduce fracking as a means of arresting Colombia’s declining hydrocarbon output. Colombia has a long and contentious history…

SpaceX's Starship reached orbit for the first time on Monday, Reuters reported, deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites on the vehicle's 14th test flight after one of its six upper-stage engines failed roughly two and a half minutes into the mission. The Super Heavy booster ignited all 33 of its engines at 7:48 a.m. CT from SpaceX's Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas, sending the 40-story vehicle over the Gulf of Mexico before Starship separated and continued alone toward orbit. SpaceX's live stream initially reported the mission could not reach…

The 2026 Russian legislative election to select all 450 seats of the State Duma (the lower house of parliament) ended on 20 September with President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party securing 57.83% of the vote. Given the State apparatus to ensure a positive result for Putin, the number might look on the lower side than many would expect, but it translates into a record-breaking 355 out of 450 seats in the Duma in an election that was framed largely as a referendum on Russia’s ‘Special Military Operation’ in Ukraine.…

Europe is currently benefiting from the closed arbitrage between the U.S. Gulf Coast and Asia and is taking more LNG supplies in possible relief from concerns about winter gas supply. The Atlantic-Pacific arbitrage is closed for the rest of this year, due to high shipping costs, and this has led to a redirection of most U.S. spot cargoes toward Europe, where the freight costs are much lower. Over the past month, Europe has been drawing more LNG cargoes away from Asia, and deliveries to Europe have been only 4% lower than a year ago, compared to…

Donald Trump gave Xi Jinping the full state-visit treatment in Washington, but markets were more interested in what the two leaders did not deliver. After three days of ceremony, an unusually warm presidential welcome and repeated pledges to stabilize relations between the world's two largest economies, the main economic outcome was a two-month extension of the existing U.S.-China trade truce, pushing its expiration from November 10 to January 10, 2027. That averted an immediate return to escalation, but fell short of the longer runway many investors…

State-owned QatarEnergy has extended the force majeure on LNG deliveries to Asia and Europe by another month through the end of November, as LNG cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains largely blocked amid the protracted U.S.-Iran stalemate over the chokepoint and pathways to end the war. Qatar’s energy giant, which was the world’s second-largest LNG exporter before the war, has notified customers in Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well as at least one buyer in India and Italy’s Edison that the force majeure on deliveries…

Russian drone strikes killed at least four people in Ukraine overnight and into September 27, including one person in the capital, Kyiv, and three in the southeastern Zaporizhzhya region, Ukrainian officials said.

A fire broke out at a car-repair facility in the same district, while another nonresidential building was hit, the agency said. It shared images showing firefighters battling fires at the…
