The world needs $18.2 trillion in new oil and gas investments in the period until 2050 in order to secure a sufficient supply. This is what OPEC warned in the 2025 edition of its World Oil Outlook. Yet the International Energy Agency continues to believe oil demand growth is going to peak before 2030, suggesting there is no such need for investments. Are both talking up their respective book? According to OPEC, global oil demand will reach 123 million barrels daily in 2050. That would be up from a projected 105 million barrels daily this year,…

One of the glaring omissions to many dedicated energy market observers in the past few years has been the U.S.’s avoidance of meaningfully punishing countries who support rogue states. This can be either through offering logistical support that enables such a state to continue to export whatever it wants or by buying these exports, which effectively bankrolls these states to pursue their illegal activities. A full arsenal of primary or secondary sanctions have been available to Washington to do so, but they have never been used in full force…

The package faced internal resistance, particularly from Slovakia, which had been blocking the deal over the past week. Slovakia’s current government holds a more pro-Russian stance and is concerned about the EU’s…
