(By Oil & Gas 360) – If oil built the global energy system, LNG is quietly rewriting it. The rise of liquefied natural gas is doing more than adding supply, it is transforming how energy moves across regions. Unlike pipeline gas, LNG creates a flexible, global market where cargoes can shift in response to price, demand, and geopolitical conditions. At
(By Oil & Gas 360) – A project once written off is finding new life as shifting geopolitics and tighter global supply reshape North America’s energy priorities. Momentum is building around a potential revival of Keystone XL, with Canadian officials and industry leaders re-engaging with U.S. counterparts to discuss what a new cross-border pipeline framework could look like. Discussions with the
Oil & Gas 360 By Greg Barnett, MBA – Carlyle’s latest note argues the Strait of Hormuz disruption is an inflection point for energy security, with oil functioning as the “rare earth of the macro system.” The authors contend that while oil’s share of GDP has fallen, its functional irreplaceability in aviation, petrochemicals, grid balancing, and fertilizers makes today’s economy
(World Oil) – The National Petroleum Council (NPC) has released the first two reports in its Future Energy Systems series, outlining a suite of reforms aimed at strengthening U.S. energy reliability as electricity demand accelerates. The reports—requested by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright—call for streamlined permitting, clearer accountability frameworks, and improved coordination between natural gas and electric market regulators. NPC Chair
(BOE Report)– Alaska LNG, majority owned and developed by Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC (Glenfarne), and Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, today announced a strategic alliance to advance the Alaska LNG Project. Glenfarne has selected Baker Hughes as its supplier for main refrigerant compressors for the LNG terminal and power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment
(Oil Price)– Energy security and affordability have trumped fears of stranded assets in recent years, prompting the world’s biggest international oil and gas firms to shift focus back to exploration after years of trying to develop clean energy solutions. Big Oil has scaled back investments in renewables, at least those majors that tried to become key green energy providers, as
(Oil Price) – U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright blasted net-zero targets as a “colossal train wreck” ahead of his trip to Europe for a gas summit and meetings with EU officials, warning the push for climate policies could weaken energy security and derail a U.S.–EU trade deal. “Net zero 2050 is just a colossal train wreck,” Wright told the Financial Times
(World Oil)– Germany has given the green light for drilling as much as 13 billion cubic meters (Bbcm) of natural gas at a protected marine site in the North Sea in a controversial step to bolster energy security. The cabinet approved a bilateral agreement with the Netherlands on hydrocarbon deposits off the island of Borkum, according to a statement from
Oil Price The United States established its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the wake of the 1973–1974 oil embargo that disrupted oil imports and drove oil prices much higher. The SPR consists primarily of several large underground salt caverns for storage located along the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana. These sites were chosen based on their geologic stability and
Oil Price China’s dominance in critical minerals mining and processing will make global energy security in the energy transition “infinitely more complex,” U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said at a conference on Thursday. “The fuel of this energy transition — critical minerals — is going to make global energy security infinitely more complex and infinitely more important over
Oil Price The world’s largest international oil and gas majors have changed their tune on medium to long-term strategies since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis last year. All European majors continue to target net-zero emissions by 2050, but some of the biggest, including BP and Shell, have scaled back promises to cut back oil and gas production
World Oil Energy security is essential for social, economic and climate progress and the responsibility of the energy industry in maintaining energy security has never been clearer, according to Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
