Yet behind the daily price swings, companies continued committing billions of dollars to LNG, pipelines, upstream developments, and natural

The three-legged stool: Agriculture, oil & gas, and pharmaceuticals

July 31, 2026

(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – Politicians, activists, industry groups, and media commentators all love the word subsidy. It is a powerful term because it implies dependence.

July 29, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Oil and gas investing is often associated with drilling rigs, production growth, and volatile commodity prices.

360 Energy Pulse: What mattered this week in energy

July 17, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Energy markets spent another week caught between tightening fundamentals and volatile geopolitics.
