Taiwan’s LNG problem has turned from a diversification debate into an energy-security test. The island is 99% dependent on imported natural gas, and in 2025 roughly one-third of its 23.6 Mt of LNG imports came from the Gulf region – mostly from Qatar (almost 8 Mt) and another 200,000 t from the UAE. With Qatar’s gas production shut down and the Strait of Hormuz blocked, already loaded LNG tankers are trapped inside the Gulf. Taiwan received no LNG cargoes from Qatar or the UAE in April and May. For a country where gas-fired plants…

That translates into nearly 7,300 rubles per barrel, up 18% from April. And nearly 60% higher than a year ago.…

For decades, power in Iran was centralized in the hands of a single man: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But since his killing at the onset of the US-Israeli war with Iran on February 28, decision-making in Tehran has become increasingly decentralized, experts say. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public since he succeeded his father in early March. In his absence, a cohort of senior Iranian officials have been effectively running the country. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a dominant political player, has now become…

The war in Iran has choked natural gas supplies across Europe and Asia, leading to fuel rationing and blackouts, but in the heart of US shale country, the market is swimming in supply. Gas in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is so plentiful that producers are having to pay buyers to get rid of it.
