The war on Iran has doubled what Egypt pays for imported LNG, and Cairo is deferring cargoes into 2027 and burning fuel oil in its power plants to hold down the bill. Egypt’s own output fell to 3.63 bcf/d in August as older fields declined faster than new wells came online, and the petroleum ministry has now extended the deadline for bids on 14 exploration blocks meant to reverse that decline to December 14 after companies asked for more time. QatarEnergy has kept its LNG deliveries under force majeure since April, and on October 28 it extended…

While crude oil imports in Asia have reached pre-war levels, imports of refined products remain weak as gasoline and diesel imports from the Middle East have crashed amid reduced refining capacity. Asia’s oil import story these days is a reflection of the global oil markets—crude oil availability has significantly increased since the early summer lows and flows out of the Middle East have largely recovered, but supply of gasoline, and especially diesel, has sharply dropped since the Iran war began at the end of February. Reduced refinery…

The world’s biggest oil and gas companies have posted another strong quarter, with just Europe’s top six majors booking a collective $38 billion for the July-to-September quarter. Adding Exxon and Chevron, the figure swells considerably. But the supermajors are in no rush to start spending that windfall. The oil and gas industry is having the exact opposite year to 2020. The war between the United States and Israel, and Iran has pushed oil and gas prices to the highest in years. The war between Russia and Ukraine, meanwhile, has driven…

Africa needs $200 billion in annual energy investment, according to the Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG). Around 600 million people across Africa lack access to electricity, a problem that could quickly intensify as sub-Saharan Africa rapidly grows, develops, and industrializes. The region’s energy demand is expected to increase threefold over the next decade, as emerging economies develop and the population continues to boom. But Western investors are pulling out of the continent right when funding is most needed. To fill this…

Canada’s proposed associate membership with the European Union is a first-of-its-kind political and economic partnership announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney and EU leaders during the October 2026 Canada-EU Summit in Montreal. The arrangement creates a multi-layered tie that goes well beyond a standard free-trade agreement (like CETA), while stopping short of full EU membership. The push is driven largely by a need to reduce economic and strategic reliance on the United States amid ongoing trade tensions, tariff disputes, and political…

Fresh reporting in Middle East regional outlets suggests a major escalation in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. While drones and missiles have been launched on Saudi territory almost daily since September, a new report says that Houthi militants are actually conducting ground force incursions. In a development that's been largely unreported, "The Houthis have launched multiple cross-border raids into Saudi Arabia in recent months, in an expansion of the conflict beyond Yemen, a Western and Arab official with direct knowledge of the raids told Middle…

The world’s largest listed oil company, Saudi Aramco, is again in the spotlight. The company’s results, released on 3 November, clearly offer an uncomfortable lesson in wartime economics. Yes, an oil company can post higher profits even as its physical operating position deteriorates. Higher prices can counter lost production; exceptional accounting gains can lift headline earnings. Still, none of these proves the underlying business is secure. Aramco reported third-quarter net income of $36.25 billion, up 34.5% year-on-year. However,…

With the election settled, the presidency continuing for four more years and a newly elected Congress taking office in February, Brazil’s data center policy now hinges on execution, requiring tight coordination between parliament and the executive branch. Most clean tech policies can advance through decrees and agency rules, but data centers are an exception: Unlocking hyperscale investment requires Congress and the executive branch to align statutory tax incentive deadlines with regulatory definitions that are still to be written.At the…
