The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States fell by 2.980 million barrels in the week ending October 17, when analysts had expected a sizable build. This more than offsets last week’s 2.780 million barrel build. Crude oil inventories in the United States are so far still showing a net loss for the year, losing 2.423 million barrels according to Oilprice calculations of API data. Earlier this week, the Department of Energy (DoE) reported that crude oil inventories in the Strategic Petroleum…

A study by X-energy Canada has confirmed the feasibility and benefits of repurposing an existing thermal generation site in Alberta with X-energy's small modular reactors, World Nuclear News reports.  Funded by Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), the study found that the Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is uniquely suited to Alberta's energy needs. As well as producing electricity, it is specifically designed to provide 565°C heat and steam for industrial applications, unlocking a broad range of use cases for Alberta's industrial…

Fossil fuels aren’t going anywhere. Oil, natural gas, and coal are set to represent about half of global energy consumption in 2050 and beyond, according to the tenth annual McKinsey report, which showed the biggest shift in the consultancy’s thinking on energy systems in a decade. McKinsey’s Global Energy Perspective 2025 offers “a chance to reflect on the lessons learned over the past decade and to look ahead to the next one,” the consultancy said. The reflection revealed that of the three energy system priorities…

Changes in equipment costs, interest rates, and power prices have resulted in a large shift in PPA prices globally in recent years. On the cost side, breakeven prices for solar PV and onshore wind have seen very different trajectories in recent years, with global average onshore wind increasing and solar PV decreasing. We see global solar costs stabilizing within a fairly narrow range over the next five years, while wind costs are likely to push higher and have more variation around the world. But costs are just one part of the equation. Wind projects…

Here is a funny thing about valuation “bubbles” involving financial instruments. In every individual case, you unavoidably end up asking:  "What were they thinking?” Or stated differently, what causes a significant part of the supposedly rational investing public to collectively lose their minds for a relatively brief period? A few tulip bulbs, for example, were valued more highly than a modest Amsterdam house in 1637, until they weren’t. Leveraged speculation in frontier commodity markets of Asia and America led to…

The Trump administration is dipping its toe—barely—into refilling the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), announcing plans to purchase one million barrels of crude for delivery in December and January. The move, while symbolically significant, amounts to little more than a rounding error in a reserve that once held 700 million barrels. The Department of Energy will use $171 million from President Trump’s new tax and spending law to fund the purchase, issuing a solicitation for crude to be delivered to the Bayou Choctaw site…

The UK is set to become the first European country to welcome Waymo’s driverless taxis but lawyers caution that current laws are fundamentally incompatible with the technology. Last week, Waymo announced its UK launch will start with a small fleet of human-supervised Jaguar I-PACE electric vehicles “in the coming weeks,” before moving to fully autonomous operations by 2026. Waymo’s Ethan Teicher told City AM, “We’ll start with a small fleet and gradually expand, working closely with the Department for Transport…

The fight over Venezuela’s last major foreign asset just got nastier. Lawyers for Citgo Petroleum and its owner, PDV Holding, told a Delaware court this week that Elliott Management’s affiliate Amber Energy shouldn’t even be in the running for Citgo’s parent company—calling its bid “so low it shocks the conscience.” What began nearly six years ago as a straightforward plan to settle old creditor claims has turned into something else entirely — a slugfest over conflicts of interest, political meddling,…
