The regional price of natural gas produced in the Permian, the top U.S. oil basin, was negative for most of the first half of the year. Rising associated gas output from oil-targeting wells has had nowhere to go. Producers had to either flare the gas, within allowed limits, or pay to get rid of what many Permian players see as an undesirable by-product of the valuable crude. For years, the key constraint to local gas prices has been the insufficient pipeline takeaway capacity, which hasn’t grown in lockstep with the soaring gas production…

Renewed Houthi blockade of Saudi Red Sea ports threatens up to 4 million bpd of redirected Saudi crude exports, adding fresh supply risks as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively disrupted The latest reignition of hostilities between the United States and Iran led to a spike in oil prices that, contrary to some observers’ expectations proved to be temporary.

East Africa has spent decades exporting one commodity and importing another. The region holds roughly 4.7 billion barrels of crude oil reserves and more than 70 trillion cubic feet of natural gas across Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya and the DRC, according to the African Energy Commission (AFREC). Yet it imports 100% of its refined fuel after Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL), the region’s last operating refinery, shut down in 2013. Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote now says he intends to reverse that equation with a $17 billion (KSh2.2…
