The biggest U.S. shale producers have remained conservative in spending on drilling this year despite the spike in the average WTI crude price by $20 per barrel compared to last year. While signs have emerged that smaller independents have started to take advantage of the higher oil prices to increase drilling, the biggest shale producers are keeping their powder dry amid unprecedented uncertainty in global markets. One of the top shale producers and the biggest Permian-only focused driller, Diamondback Energy, signaled this week that it will not…

Asian countries that depend on oil and gas imports for their energy security are hoping that the results of the U.S. midterms will lead to an end to the war in the Middle East and, consequently, an end to the severe fuel crisis Asian countries are experiencing. The hopes may be premature, however. Trump is still president, and Democrats are no fans of Iran. Asia has been the hardest-hit by the fallout of the U.S. and Israel offensive against Iran that began on February 28. For geographical reasons, the Middle East is the top supplier of hydrocarbons…

Gas peakers have always had one decisive economic advantage: they were relatively cheap to build. A peaking plant could sit idle for most of the year, then start when demand and electricity prices surged. Its fuel was expensive and its efficiency often mediocre, but low upfront costs made that acceptable. The owner did not need thousands of operating hours to recover an enormous initial investment. Australia has now crossed an important threshold. The country’s CSIRO, working with the Australian Energy Market Operator, finds that batteries…
