India, which has a massive trade surplus with the United States, will aim to buy more American oil and LNG to reduce the surplus and avoid potential tariffs from President Donald Trump. India is likely to significantly increase its energy purchases from the U.S., India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in Washington after a meeting between President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “I think we purchased about $15 billion in US energy output,” Bloomberg quoted Misri as telling a news conference. “There is…

The Trump administration is back on the “maximum pressure” train, and this time, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says they’re gunning to slash Iran’s oil exports to a mere 100,000 barrels per day—down from its current 1.5-1.6 million bpd. That would equate to a 90% drop. The announcement sent oil prices slightly higher today as traders mull the likelihood of potential supply disruptions. It sounds bold, except history suggests that Iran’s oil trade is a lot slipperier than Washington would like. The Islamic…

Refiners have started to produce growing volumes of cleaner fuels and petrochemicals, betting on the next big drivers of global fuel and chemical demand, as consumption growth of conventional transportation fuels has weakened. Due to the pivot to fuels from renewable feedstocks and increased petrochemical volumes, refiners have raised demand for catalysts and additives to process renewable feedstocks such as cooking oil. “What we see is alternative feedstocks, the blending in of some components with biomass background at refineries in the…

OPEC+ Heavyweights Stick to Quotas, Smaller Producers Become a Liability - OPEC+ countries produced 40.54 million b/d in January, continuing a three-month streak of relative stagnation as month-over-month changes remained as low as 20,000 b/d amidst improved compliance. - Nevertheless, Kazakhstan will become a problem for the oil group as it is set to become the largest overproducer with Tengiz ramping up production from 600,000 b/d in January to 900,000 b/d this month. - OPEC+ plans to start gradually easing its 2.2 million b/d voluntary cuts…

This week in the crude oil market was a rollercoaster of price swings as bullish supply concerns clashed with bearish macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. The early week saw oil extend its gains on supply constraints from Russia and Iran, but prices reversed sharply midweek as rising U.S. inventories, a hawkish Federal Reserve, and renewed optimism about a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war weighed on sentiment. With crude prices now struggling to hold gains, traders are questioning whether bullish momentum can be sustained or if further…

Politics, Geopolitics & Conflict Libya's Minister of State in Tripoli (the Dbeibah government), Adel Jumaa, survived an assassination attempt on Wednesday on a Tripoli highway. He remains in stable condition in the hospital after being shot. Despite the fact that the oil is still flowing, Libya’s cities have serious security issues with various factions still jockeying for power. These armed groups have continued to amass more power, and we expect fairly frequent security disruptions, some of which may impact the oil and gas industry.…

Is this the end of the war in Ukraine? Sure. This can be whatever we spin it to be. It will be a messy eternally-frozen conflict one way or another. On February 12, we saw a declaration from Washington to the effect that Ukrainian territory will be handed over to Russia and Ukraine will not be joining NATO–ever. There will be some banal “peacekeeping” force in the benign Western European style (Bosnians will tragically remember this), and that’s about it. Trump and Putin have agreed to start the peace process immediately.…

Oil prices are rising despite concerns about Trump imposing tariffs on trading partners and talk of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Oil prices are now set to end the week with a gain, ending a three-week losing streak. Backwardation has eased in global crude futures and oil is set to rebound from three straight weeks of losses. This week’s largest geopolitical development – the prospect of a Russian-Ukrainian negotiated settlement – has oddly failed to push prices significantly lower, even though it had a massive and…

Chinese companies have launched a new ultradeep drilling campaign in the Taklimakan Desert in northwest China, hoping to unlock more oil and gas resources from deep underground. The drilling campaign, in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, aims to reach oil and gas resources that are about 8,000 meters (26,247 ft) underground. One well, the Manshen 72-H6 in Xayar County, is planned to reach a depth of 8,735 meters (28,658 ft). In recent years, China has intensified ultra-deep drilling, both onshore and offshore, looking to unlock more…
