No generation in human history has experienced an infrastructure buildout of this speed and scale. Over the next several years, trillions of dollars will be poured into what industry leaders increasingly describe as AI factories: sprawling campuses filled with advanced processors, networking equipment, cooling systems, and enough electrical demand to rival major cities. McKinsey estimates AI-related infrastructure spending could exceed $5 trillion by 2030, while JLL projects developers may require roughly 100 gigawatts of new data-center capacity…

Indian crude imports set several records in June. Total inflows reached about 5 million b/d, the highest level ever recorded for the month.

Russian supplies, which had fallen to around 1.1 million b/d in February under sanctions pressure from Washington, more than doubled within four months and became a key pillar of India’s energy-security strategy. India’s overall import volume suggests…

  Oil and gas companies operating in Australia are lining up plans to boost oil and gas exploration as activity picks up amid the energy crisis in the wake of the Iran war. Australia, which has had to cope with a fuel supply crisis since the Middle East conflict began, is one of the world’s top LNG exporters. Still, it assesses its domestic gas availability every quarter, and the regulators have often raised an alarm over potential gas supply shortages in some parts of the country. Energy Security Woes Prompt Renewed Exploration Efforts…

There have recently been many warnings about near-term oil shortages stemming from the conflict in Iran. Most analysts assume that shortages mean higher prices. As I will explain, the dynamics of a self-organizing economy suggest the opposite outcome — lower prices, deepening recession, and shortages of goods and services that have little to do with price.

China will continue spending heavily on both coal and alternative energy, such as wind and solar, over the next five years, Beijing’s latest five-year plan revealed this month. The apparent paradox sees the world’s largest emitter by far continue to generate a solid portion of its energy from coal while also boosting the largest alternative energy capacity in the world. The thing is, it is not actually a paradox. Ever since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, a host of countries have been working hard to reduce their reliance…

The world's most important oil benchmark is about to experience an identity crisis. For the first time since records began, no Brent crude cargoes are scheduled to load in August, according to Reuters calculations based on loading programs and LSEG data. In other words, the benchmark that gives Brent crude its name is slowly disappearing. That's not because Brent is losing relevance. Quite the opposite. Brent still underpins pricing for more than 60% of internationally traded crude. The problem is that the original Brent field has simply been producing…
