Pakistan is scaling back its dependence on imported LNG as volatile global prices and a weakened currency strain its economy. The government is deferring gas deliveries and turning instead to coal, hydropower, and nuclear energy to stabilize supply and reduce import costs. Cheaper coal and expanding hydro and nuclear capacity, much of it financed by China, are reshaping the country’s power mix. Yet persistent debt, rigid contracts, and grid inefficiencies keep electricity among the most expensive in South Asia. Pakistan’s main buyer…

The United Nations’ annual climate conference kicked off on Monday in Brazil with a very notable absence. In a historic political statement, the United States did not send any high-level representation to the flagship COP30 conference in Belem, the biggest and more important international event of its kind. This omission comes on the heels of the Trump administration’s decision to pull the country out of the Paris climate agreement. But while the world’s largest economy is taking a step back from decarbonization and clean energy…

The European Union is putting its energy security at risk by attempting to regulate every single molecule of energy products it will import in 2027, the year in which the EU will ban Russian natural gas. In its net-zero push and targets to slash emissions, the EU in recent years has adopted a series of legislative measures to address the energy sustainability issue. But in doing so, it is undermining what’s become the most important energy issue, that of security, in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the realization that…

To identify the regions generating the most cash for majors, we forecast the group’s top five projects by cumulative free cash flow for the period 2025 to 2030. Two standout regions are the Permian shale play, which dominates the US majors' portfolios, and the Caspian region, where all majors have maintained their presence despite portfolio streamlining Chevron’s projected $28 billion in free cash flow from Kazakhstan’s Tengiz field underscores the region's value to its portfolio. ExxonMobil's $14 billion in revenue from Tengiz…

Oil prices fell sharply on Wednesday after OPEC said it now expects the global market to be balanced in 2026, abandoning its earlier deficit forecast as non-OPEC production rises and inventories recover.

In a surprise development, Argentina’s unconventional oil production hit a new all-time high for September 2025. This occurred despite overall monthly production falling marginally when compared to the prior period and shale gas output plummeting to a multi-month low. It is the prolific Vaca Muerta shale that is driving Argentina’s rapidly rising oil and natural gas production. The 8.6-million-acre formation is proving to be a boon to Buenos Aires and could very well be the long-awaited silver bullet needed to fix Argentina’s…

US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites in June slowed down the nuclear program, likely buried Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and effectively paused enrichment activities. The attacks prompted Iran to reevaluate its nuclear strategy, and after declaring the end of international oversight of its nuclear program due to the expiry of the 2015 nuclear deal in October, Tehran -- which maintains it has never and will not seek to weaponize its nuclear program -- now operates with strategic opacity. Recent satellite images analyzed…
