Low inventories reported today by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) did nothing to staunch the bleeding, with WTI getting gutted nearly 4% on the day, and Saudi rumors throwing another spanner in the works, while new U.S. economic data suggests more pain is in store for the sector.  Three weeks ago, eight OPEC+ countries unveiled plans to phase-out their voluntary oil output cuts by ramping up output in May by 411,000 barrels per day--equivalent to three monthly increments. The announcement came at a time when U.S. President Donald…

Winter is over in the northern hemisphere, and demand for heating is in decline, to the likely chagrin of LNG exporters. Demand for the fuel in the key Asian and European markets has weakened this month as peak demand season eases—but the weakening is temporary. Europe imported a record 7.04 million tons of liquefied natural gas from its top supplier, the United States, last month, but this has dropped to 5.88 million tons this month, data from Kpler, cited by Reuters’ Clyde Russell has shown. This is still significantly higher than…

Noble Corp, (NYSE:NE) turned in a pretty solid report for Q-1 this week, and gave a forecast that caused the stock to rally sharply, up 12%, on the news. Over the course of the day, where oil prices had dropped to around $60, it managed to hold onto a good chunk of that gain. Key among the salient points of the release was the announcement of a $2.0-$2.5 bn addition to the company's backlog in the quarter, bringing the total to $7.5 bn on the upside. Anytime you can announce a 30% increase in future contracted revenues, you're doing something right…

The global oil industry for much of the 20th century was controlled by a powerful cartel of private companies known as the "Seven Sisters." This group long dominated production, pricing, and access to reserves from the Middle East to Latin America. They shaped markets, dictated terms to host countries and built the foundations of the modern energy system. But the balance of power has since shifted—dramatically.   Today, the center of gravity in global oil lies not with the Western supermajors, but with National Oil Companies (NOC). State-owned…

Via Metal Miner   A striking aspect of the aluminum premium and the aluminum market turmoil currently unfolding after Trump’s aluminum tariffs is how differently it’s playing out in the U.S. versus other regions. While premiums inside of the U.S. are rising, outside the United States, aluminum premiums are actually falling. With U.S. tariffs shutting out or discouraging some imports, those metal volumes are being redirected elsewhere, leading to relative oversupply abroad.  In Europe, for instance, the going premium for aluminum…

On the contrary, sources are suggesting that the Saudis could start…

If energy secretary Ed Miliband still believes that critics of his dash to Net Zero are peddlers of “nonsense and lies” he has a new name to add to his list of dangerous misinformation merchants: Tony Blair. I do appreciate that some people believe that his name belongs on exactly that kind of list, but I’ll leave that to one side and focus instead on the latest contribution of his eponymous institute, which has released a new report called The Climate Paradox. The former Prime Minister has penned a foreword in which he notes…
