More Info Leading U.S. shale operator,Hess Corp.(NYSE:HES), haspostedyet another impressive earnings report, with its stake in prolific Guyana helping it exceed estimates. Hess reported Q3 2024 non-GAAP EPS of $2.14, beating the Wall Street consensus by $0.37 while revenue of $3.2B (+12.7% Y/Y) beat by $160M. The company’s profits, however, fell slightly due to lower oil and gas prices: net income during the quarter clocked in at $498 million, or $1.62 per share, compared with net income of $504 million, or $1.64 per share, in the third quarter of 2023. Hess’ ongoing trend of rapid output growth from Guyana continued in the third quarter. Guyana net production clocked in at 170,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), up 57% from 108,000 bopd in the third quarter of 2023. However, Guyana's output fell sequentially from the second quarter’s 192,000 bpd (+75% Y/Y) due to planned downtime. Meanwhile, Bakken net production was 206,000 boepd, up 8% from 190,000 boepd in the third quarter of 2023. Overall net production for the quarter was 461,000 boepd, compared with 395,000 boepd in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher production in Guyana. Hess expects fourth quarter E&P net production to be in the range of 475,000 boepd to 485,000 boepd, primarily reflecting recovery from downtime in the third quarter of 2024 at Guyana and Southeast Asia partially offset by planned maintenance at the Tubular Bells production facility in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company also issued updated 2024 full year guidance, with E&P capital and exploratory expenditures expected to be ~$4.9 billion, up from previous guidance of $4.2 billion, reflecting the decision to accelerate the purchase of the Liza Destiny and Prosperity floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs) to the fourth quarter of 2024 instead of in 2025. Back in May, Hess shareholderssigned off onits proposed $53B merger withChevron Corp.(NYSE:CVX) despite the deal being challenged by its leading Guyana partner,Exxon Mobil Corp.(NYSE:XOM).

More Info U.S oil and gas prices have taken divergent trajectories, with oil prices rebounding while natural gas prices have continued to fall in Thursday’s session. Oil and gas prices crashed on Monday, with benchmark crude oil futures falling to their biggest one-day decline in more than two years after Israel launched limited attacks on Iran that disappointed markets, followed by Tehran stating it would not retaliate with a direct response. However, oil prices have pared back some of the losses with nearly a percentage point in gains.Brent crudefor December delivery was trading at $73.17 per barrel at 12.32 am ET, up from their 2-month low of $70.97 on Tuesday while WTI crude for December delivery was up 0.85% on the day to trade at $69.19 per barrel. Commodity analysts at Standard Chartered havepointed outthat oil markets are overlooking the vulnerability of Iran’s energy infrastructure to future attacks. Three days ago, the Guardian reported that Israel used precision air and drone strikes to principally target air defense systems protecting crucial oil and gas facilities, as well as military sites linked to Tehran’s nuclear programme and ballistic missile production. Meanwhile,natural gas futureshave dropped below $2.8/MMBtu as supply concerns eased, after losing 11% earlier in the week, and down another 4.15% at the time of writing. Meteorologists have forecast warmer-than-normal temperatures across the Lower 48 states through at least November 9, giving utilities an opportunity to inject more gas into storage than usual for this time of year. Further, LNG feedgas supply is expected to stay below record levels for the next few weeks due to maintenance at various facilities includingCheniere Energy(NYSE:LNG) and Cameron LNG. U.S. gas production from the lower 48 states averaged 102.8 Bcf/d over the weekend, close to 103 Bcf/d summer high and up about 2 Bcf/d from autumn lows. In its October short-term energy outlook (STEO), the EIA forecast Henry Hub spot prices would average $3.06/MMBtu in 2025. On a quarterly basis, the EIA predicted in the October STEO that Q4 2024 Henry Hub spots prices would average $2.81/MMBtu, and $3.16/MMBtu in Q1 2025, dipping lower in Q2 and then up to $3.35/MMBtu in Q4.

The U.S. oil and gas producerreportedon Thursday adjusted earnings per share of $1.78 for the third quarter, down from $2.16 EPS a year earlier, but above the analyst consensusestimate of $1.65compiled by The Wall Street Journal. Higher crude oil and natural gas production helped ConocoPhillips offset the lower oil and gas prices compared to last year. The impact of lower oil and gas prices was evident in the company’s total average realized price, which was $54.18 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe), 10% lower than the $60.05 per boe realized in the third quarter of 2023. But ConocoPhillips’s production for the third quarter of 2024 averaged 1.917 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), up by 3% from the same period a year ago when adjusted for closed acquisitions and dispositions. The producer achieved record Lower 48 production of 1.147 million boed, including 781,000 boed from the Permian, 246,000 boed from the Eagle Ford, and 107,000 boed from the Bakken. Total fourth-quarter 2024 production is expected to be 1.99-2.03 million boed, ConocoPhillips said, as it also raised its full-year production guidance to 1.94-1.95 million boed, as compared to prior guidance of 1.93 million boed to 1.94 million boed. ConocoPhillips’s board has decided to raise its ordinary dividend by 34% to $0.78 per share and increase the existing share repurchase authorization by up to $20 billion. The company is on track to distribute at least $9 billion to shareholders for 2024, chairman and CEO Ryan Lance said. ConocoPhillips continues to anticipate closing theplanned acquisition of Marathon Oilthis quarter and expects to significantly exceed its initial $500 million synergy guidance, the executive added. Following the results release, shares in ConocoPhillips jumped by 3% in pre-market trade in New York.

The export-oriented refinery has halted crude processing since October 1 because of low refining margins, industry sources toldReutersin early October. In November, the refinery is expected to resume operations and process into fuels as much as 480,000 metric tons of crude oil, traders told Reuters. The Tuapse refinery has a capacity to process 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. The processing facility mostly exports its production of naphtha, high-sulfur diesel, fuel oil, and vacuum gasoil to Turkey, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. It doesn’t contribute to Russia’s domestic supply of gasoline or diesel. The halt of the refinery, due to low margins, helped raise the idled refining capacity across Russia in October. Russia has raised the refining capacity volumes it expects to be idle in Octoberby 67%compared to an earlier plan, due to scheduled maintenance at major refineries, Reuters estimates showed earlier this month. The Tuapse refinery has also been a target ofUkrainian drone attacksthis year, which have caused damage at the site. The latest such attack at Tuapse occurred in July when the refinery was damaged in a massive Ukrainian drone attack. In January, a previous attack had also caused damage at the biggest Black Sea refinery of Russian oil giant Rosneft. Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure have become a fixture this year, with drones the weapon of choice for conducting the strikes. But a Financial Times report from earlier this week said that Russia and Ukraine are in the very early stages of Qatar-mediatedtalks about halting attackson each other’s energy facilities and infrastructure.

Canadian Naturalsaidon Thursday that its adjusted net earnings from operations for the third quarter stood at US$1.5 billion (C$2.1 billion), down compared with US$2 billion (C$2.85 billion) for the third quarter of 2023. The oil and gas producer attributed the decline to lower crude oil and NGLs sales volumes and netbacks in North America, lower natural gas pricing in North America, and lower realized prices for its synthetic crude from the oil sands production. Natural gas prices in Canada and the United States continued to decline as a result of high storage levels in 2024, the company’s management said in the discussion of the third-quarter results. Third-quarter natural gas production dropped by 5% year-over-year, while the realized natural gas price slumped by 56%. Crude oil and NGL realized prices fell by 10%, while realized sales prices from the oil sands production fell by 7% in the third quarter from a year earlier. “Although inflationary pressures are easing, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience inflationary pressures on its operating and capital expenditures in addition to higher than normal fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates,” Canadian Natural Resources said. Due to low natural gas prices, Canadian Natural now targets to drill a total of 74 net natural gas wells in 2024. This number will be 17 fewer wells than targeted in the original 2024 budget, the companysaid. After the Q3 reporting period ended, Canadian Natural agreed in early October to buy oil sands and shale assets in Canada from U.S. supermajor Chevron in a$6.5 billioncash deal.

The Warwickshire-headquartered luxury car maker has reported a pre-tax loss of £12.2m for its third quarter, down from the £117.6m loss it posted during the same three-month period in 2022. New figuresfiled with the London Stock Exchange also show that Aston Martin’s revenue increased by eight percent to £391.6m over the same period. In a statement, the company said that it has been battling supply chain disruption and weakness in the key Chinese market. Wholesale volumes for the carmaker were 1,641 for the period ending September 30, up 14 percent year-on-year. However, total wholesale volumes for the year-to-date are 17 percent down on 2023, standing at 3,639. Chief executive Adrian Hallmark said: “Having only joined Aston Martin in September, I can already clearly see growth opportunities for the company as we bring incredible products to market and deliver on our vision to be the world’s most desirable, ultra-luxury British performance brand. “We recently launched Vanquish, successfully completing the most diverse, dynamic and desirable portfolio in the luxury segment. “Recent media reviews of our V12 flagship highlights the strength of Aston Martin’s products, which now truly align with our ultra-luxury high performance strategy. “Long-term value creation and sustainable growth are key priorities as we look forward to Q4 2024 and beyond. “We will deliver our fully reinvigorated portfolio to market efficiently and maximise the considerable commercial potential, including greater personalisation opportunities, to further strengthen the order book. “In addition, we will drive profitability through a forensic approach to cost management and unrelenting focus on quality with a more balanced delivery profile in the future for our full range of new core models. “Improved financial and operational performance in Q3 2024, demonstrates our strategy’s effectiveness. “We are on track to meet our revised full year 2024 guidance, which reflects the necessary action taken in September to adjust our production volumes given supplier disruption, which we are proactively managing, and the weak macroeconomic environment in China.” By City AM | Previous Post Cheniere Energy Q3 Earnings Dip on Lower LNG and Gas Prices Next Post Cheniere Energy Q3 Earnings Dip on Lower LNG and Gas Prices CityAM.com is the online presence of City A.M., London's first free daily business newspaper.

More Info The biggest U.S. LNG exporter, Cheniere Energy Inc (NYSE: LNG), reported on Thursday a decline in third-quarter revenues and profits amid decreased market volatility and lower international LNG and natural gas prices. Cheniere Energybooked$3.763 billion in total revenues for Q3, down from $4.159 billion for the same period last year. LNG revenues dropped to $3.554 billion from $3.974 billion, amid “significant declines of historic volatility in international gas prices and moderated and sustained spot prices in the current periods relative to the same periods of 2023,” the company said in an SEC filing. Net income attributable to Cheniere nearly halved to $893 million, down from $1.7 billion a year earlier. The company attributed the decline to lower sales volumes under short-term agreements as a higher proportion of its LNG was sold under long-term contracts. The drop in revenues was the result of declining international LNG and gas prices and a reduction of volumes sold under short-term agreements as a result of additional long-term agreements commencing after the third quarter of 2023, Cheniere Energy said. Part of the decline was attributable to decliningHenry Hub pricing, the U.S. natural gas benchmark, to which the majority of Cheniere’s long-term LNG sales contracts are indexed. Lower LNG and natural gas prices, as well as lower margins for delivered LNG cargoes, have beenweighingon Cheniere’s earnings this year. The company, however, is upbeat about long-term LNG demand, especially in Asia, which is the key growth driver of LNG consumption globally. Chinese demand for natural gasis set to jumpby more than 50% by 2040, from 400 billion cubic meters (bcm) now to more than 600 bcm, Yingying Zhou, director of LNG origination at Cheniere, said last week. Cheniere expects China to become the world’s first market with 100 million tons of LNG demand very soon. LNG will represent about 25%-30% of China’s total natural gas demand, the executive added. China, which has surpassed Japan in recent years to become the world’s largest LNG importer, will be a key growth driver of global LNG demand growth, industry analysts and major LNG traders say.

outlets such as iNVEZZ and SeeNews. More Info Weak refining margins, lower LNG production, and declining oil prices weighed on the third-quarter earnings of TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE), which came below expectations. TotalEnergiesreportedon Thursday an adjusted net income of $4.1 billion for the third quarter, down by 13% from the second quarter, and down from $6.45 billion a year earlier. The earnings, TotalEnergies’s lowest quarterly profit in three years, missed the analyst estimate of $4.27 billion. After the results were published, TotalEnergies shares slumped by 2.5% in Paris and its New York-listed shares were down by 1.5% in pre-market trade. Weak refining margins dented the French supermajor’s earnings. Lower oil prices and unplanned production outages in Libya and the Ichtys LNG project in Australia combined with the weakening downstream business to drag profits below analyst forecasts. The company’s oil and gas production averaged 2.409 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the third quarter 2024, down by 1% quarter-to-quarter, as unplanned shutdowns in Ichthys LNG and security-related disruptions in Libya couldn’t fully offset the ramp-up at the Mero 2 project in Brazil. TotalEnergies had alreadyflaggedweak refining margins as the key drivers of expected lower third-quarter results. The other European supermajors, BP and Shell, have also warned of the weaker refining environment, but they bothbeat analyst estimateswhen they reported Q3 earnings this week. At TotalEnergies, the “very sharp decrease in refining margins in Europe (-66% quarter-to-quarter) and in the Rest of the World”, dragged down the downstream division’s adjusted net operating income and cash flow by around 40% quarter-over-quarter, CEO Patrick Pouyanné said. Marketing and trading activities partly compensated for the very sharp decline in refining, the executive added. Despite the drop in earnings, TotalEnergies is keeping its pace of share buybacks, announcing repurchases of $2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, in line with its target to reach a total of $8 billion buybacks throughout the year. The supermajor also confirmed its net investment guidance of $17 billion-$18 billion in 2024.

such as iNVEZZ and SeeNews. More Info Economic growth in the Middle East and North Africa is expected to remain sluggish at 2.1% this year, amid ongoing conflicts and prolonged OPEC+ oil production cuts, the International Monetary Fund (IMF)saidon Thursday, slashing its GDP growth view by 0.6 percentage point compared to an April forecast. High uncertainty over economic growth in the MENA region in the near and medium term persists, with key risks including escalating conflicts, increased geo-economic fragmentation, and commodity price volatility, the IMF said in its latest regional report on the Middle East and Central Asia. The MENA region’s economic growth is expected to rebound next year, with GDP growth seen at 4%, slightly lower compared to the forecast from the previous regional outlook in April. However, the rebound in economic growth next year is conditional on OPEC+ reversing its oil production cuts and easing headwinds for economies in the region, including those from conflicts, the IMF noted. “MENA oil exporters have navigated the global landscape well, but the twin surpluses that helped cushion recent shocks have started to narrow amid ambitious investment strategies and falling oil revenues,” the fund’s analysts wrote. Among the region’s oil exporters, economic growth is forecast to strengthen to 2.3% this year, up from 1.7% in 2023, and further to 4% next year. However, the IMF has now revised down its near-term outlook for 2024 and 2025 by 0.6 and 0.4 percentage points, respectively, from the April forecast, mainly reflecting the extension of voluntary oil production cuts in most GCC countries, Algeria, and Iraq. “Moreover, growth is forecast to moderate to 3 percent over the medium term, as the non-oil sector only gradually generates momentum,” the IMF said. OPEC+ currently plans to begin reversing the oil production cuts in December and have these reversed in full by September 2025. However, weaker oil demand and lower oil priceshave raised questionsabout whether the alliance would go through with this plan.

Beating China's oil and steel sectors… Tsvetana Paraskova Tsvetana is a writer for Oilprice.com with over a decade of experience writing for news outlets such as iNVEZZ and SeeNews. More Info Shell (NYSE: SHEL) reported on Thursday better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter on the back of strong performance in its gas division which offset weak refining margins in the downstream business. Despite the lower crude prices and weaker refining margins, Shellbookedadjusted earnings of $6.0 billion, ahead of the analyst consensus estimate of $5.4 billion, and only slightly below the $6.2-billion earnings for the same period of 2023. Shell warned earlier this month that it expects lower refining margins and a loss in its chemicals businessto weighon its third-quarter earnings. These could be offset or partly offset by higher LNG production volumes, Shell said in its third quarter update note. Higher LNG liquefaction volumes and sales boosted the earnings of the Integrated Gas division, the results of Shell, the world’s top LNG trader, showed today. Amid lower crude oil prices and refining margins in Q3, the consensus-beating earnings “reflect strong operational performance in Integrated Gas, Upstream and Marketing,” the supermajor said. In view of the Q3 results, Shell began a new $3.5 billion share buyback program, expected to be completed by the Q4 2024 results announcement. Over the last 4 quarters, total shareholder distributions paid were 43% of cash flow from operations (CFFO). “We continue to deliver more value with less emissions, whilst enhancing the resilience of our balance sheet. Today, we announce another $3.5 billion buyback programme for the next three months, making this the 12th consecutive quarter in which we have announced $3 billion or more in buybacks,” CEO Wael Sawan said. Following the release of the results, Shell’s stock rose by 1.5% at opening in London. Earlier this week, the other UK-based supermajor, BP (NYSE: BP), also booked third-quarter earningsabove analyst expectations, although the profit was lower from a year earlier and the second quarter amid weaker oil prices and low refining margins. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, the earnings reflect “weaker realized refining margins, a weak oil trading result and lower liquids realizations, partly offset by higher gas realizations,” BP said in astatement, adding that the gas marketing and trading result was “average”.

"content": "Aston Martin's Pre-Tax Losses Plummet by 90% in Q3 Uncertainty surrounds OPEC+ production plans… Charles Kennedy Charles is a writer for Oilprice.com More Info Exelon hasseenan 80% increase in power supply deals coming from data enter operators in the latest sign that the IT industry is driving a surge in electricity demand in the U.S. The rise has materialized since the start of the year and has prompted debates about the distribution of costs associated with the expansion of grid infrastructure and the ramp-up of supply. In Exelon’s territory, demand for electricity from data center operators hit 11 GW in the third quarter, up from 6 GW in the second quarter, the company said in its third-quarter earnings call. Exelon has yet to build that capacity, which will be part of its investment plan, which stands at$34.5 billionfor the period until 2027. Reuters noted in a report on Exelon’s demand developments that the company is disputing a priority status granted by regulators to data center operators that locate their facilities on the sites of power plants—what’s commonly known as co-location. Currently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission allows the operators of such data centers to get hooked to the power plant directly, bypassing interconnection procedures. According to Exelon and fellow utility American Electric Power, this can lead to price hikes for other consumers and affect the reliability of the grid negatively. “We are not against co-locations,” Exelon CEO Calvin Butler said on a third-quarter company earnings call. “We just believe everyone should pay their fair share of utilizing the grid.” Data centers have become perhaps the biggest drivers of additional electricity demand in the United States, as Big Tech companies race to get ahead in the development of artificial intelligence systems. These consume enormous amounts of electricity that needs to be available on demand. This additional demand for reliable power has shined the spotlight on natural gas and nuclear as baseload alternatives to previous Big Tech darlings wind and solar. It has also highlighted the constraints of the grid that cannot be overcome quickly.

More Info Brazil’s Petrobras is considering a further increase in investment for the period between 2025 and 2029 to a total of $110 billion, unnamed sources in the know told Reuters. The sum would represent an 8% increase on earlier investment plans for the five years ahead. “Currently, the amount (under discussion) is near $107 billion, but there are adjustments remaining, so it is likely to be in the range of $110 billion,” one of the sources who spoke to Reuters said. Earlier, the companyreleasedplans to spend some $102 billion between 2024 and 2028, of which $73 billion was allocated for oil and gas exploration and production. Later in the year, however, Petrobrasreviseddown its spending plans for 2025, reducing the amount from $21 billion to $17 billion. The revision, Petrobras said, was more realistic and a better match for its financial resources. After spending a decade on selling off many assets outside Brazil, Petrobras is now shifting its strategy to portfolio diversification, keeping the focus on the most profitable assets, the company said earlier this year. Reserves replacement, new frontiers, and increased gas supply are all pillars of the new exploration and production strategy. Petrobras will also focus on production from existing fields, where depletion is eating into output and this is “bothering” the management, new CEO Magda Chambriardsaidrecently. To remedy matters, Petrobras will try to reverse the decline at mature fields such as the ones in the Campos Basin. The latest available production figures for Petrobras show 2.7 million barrels daily in oil equivalent for the second quarter of the year, up 2.4%, after a 25% slump earlier in the year due to platform maintenance. Petrobras is also adding production capacity: by the end of the year there should be an additional 500,000 bpd in such capacity available from three new floating production and storage vessels.

More Info Exxon has struck a deal with Argentinian Pluspetrol for the sale of the supermajor’s assets in the Vaca Muerta shale play. Reutersreported, citing an unnamed source with the supermajor, that Exxon would sell Pluspetrol five blocks in the play plus its interest in oil pipeline operator Oleoductos del Valle. Reports of a possible sale of these assetsemergedin February this year, saying that Exxon was considering selling assets owned as part of a joint venture with QatarEnergy, including seven oil and gas blocks in the Vaca Muerta and holdings in the pipeline company. The assets are estimated to be valued at $1 billion at the time. The news followed a review of the Argentinian shale assets that Exxon conducted the previous year. At the time, Exxon said it was looking for farm-in investors, but didn’t rule out asset sales. “It is still premature to determine the final outcome of the ongoing review process, which runs parallel to our development commitments in the basin. It may not necessarily result in asset divestment,” according to a company source who spoke to the Oil & Gas Journal in August 2023. Exxon had drilled a total of 40 wells in the Dead Cow formation but only seven of those were producing. The company’s production stood at 7,300 barrels of oil and 103 million cu ft of natural gas daily as of February. The Vaca Muerta shale play is estimated to hold recoverable resources consisting of 16 billion barrels of oil and 308 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Those numbers make the Vaca Muerta the world’s second-largest shale gas deposit. Totalproductionfrom the formation has grown from less than 90,000 bpd five years ago to 400,000 bpd this year, not least thanks to government policies under Javier Milei that have sought to boost foreign investment in Argentina’s energy industry.

More Info Leading U.S. shale operator,Hess Corp.(NYSE:HES), haspostedyet another impressive earnings report, with its stake in prolific Guyana helping it exceed estimates. Hess reported Q3 2024 non-GAAP EPS of $2.14, beating the Wall Street consensus by $0.37 while revenue of $3.2B (+12.7% Y/Y) beat by $160M. The company’s profits, however, fell slightly due to lower oil and gas prices: net income during the quarter clocked in at $498 million, or $1.62 per share, compared with net income of $504 million, or $1.64 per share, in the third quarter of 2023. Hess’ ongoing trend of rapid output growth from Guyana continued in the third quarter. Guyana net production clocked in at 170,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), up 57% from 108,000 bopd in the third quarter of 2023. However, Guyana's output fell sequentially from the second quarter’s 192,000 bpd (+75% Y/Y) due to planned downtime. Meanwhile, Bakken net production was 206,000 boepd, up 8% from 190,000 boepd in the third quarter of 2023. Overall net production for the quarter was 461,000 boepd, compared with 395,000 boepd in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher production in Guyana. Hess expects fourth quarter E&P net production to be in the range of 475,000 boepd to 485,000 boepd, primarily reflecting recovery from downtime in the third quarter of 2024 at Guyana and Southeast Asia partially offset by planned maintenance at the Tubular Bells production facility in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company also issued updated 2024 full year guidance, with E&P capital and exploratory expenditures expected to be ~$4.9 billion, up from previous guidance of $4.2 billion, reflecting the decision to accelerate the purchase of the Liza Destiny and Prosperity floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs) to the fourth quarter of 2024 instead of in 2025. Back in May, Hess shareholderssigned off onits proposed $53B merger withChevron Corp.(NYSE:CVX) despite the deal being challenged by its leading Guyana partner,Exxon Mobil Corp.(NYSE:XOM).

More Info Five U.S. governors have demanded PJM Interconnection, the largest power grid operator in the U.S., revise its pricing system after its recent capacity auction delivered a staggering increase in power plant costs—up nearly 10-fold from last year—but PJM says the green transition is to blame. The auction, meant to secure enough electricity supply for 65 million people across 13 states, sent shockwaves through the market as PJM revealed the steep price tag for meeting rising demand amid dwindling supply. Households and businesses in the region are now facing costs of $14.7 billion, sparking urgent calls from governors to address the runaway pricing before it bleeds consumers dry. PJM says it warned policymakers that the pivot from fossil fuels to green energy without bolstering renewable capacity would pinch the grid. But the governors argue that it’s on PJM to widen the pool of power suppliers and rethink price caps to avoid these massive surges. With data-hungry AI centers and extreme weather pushing demand through the roof, PJM’s latest auction outcome is just the beginning of what could be years of high prices and strained supply. Power company stocks are already enjoying theprice hikesas they plan for fatter profits, but the PJM region’s residents are left holding the bill. A move by PJM to delay the 2026/27 auction by six months may give it time to respond to the complaint. For now, PJM’s price hike is a wake-up call that more reliable power is essential—and expensive. The domino effect is already hitting Wall Street, with power company stocks getting a boost as utilities anticipate profits from high demand and power capacity constraints. PJM's move to delay its next auction might buy regulators time, but the message is clear: between AI, extreme weather, and retirements, the U.S. grid is playing a dangerous game of catch-up. And for the 65 million residents in PJM territory, that means digging deeper into their pockets for electricity.

Russia has seen its gas exports to Europe significantly reduced since the invasion of Ukraine.

Weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Russia cut off supply to Poland, Bulgaria, and Finland. Then Gazprom started to reduce supply via the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany in June 2022, claiming an inability to service gas turbine maintenance outside Russia due to the Western sanctions against Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.

Energy Capital Partners, the largest private owner of power generation and renewables in the United States, will collaborate with KKR to speed up the development of data center infrastructure and power generation and transmission infrastructure to back the rapid expansion of AI and cloud computing globally. The $50-billion bet from the two major investors highlights the momentum behind AI over the past two years. As a result of the advance in AI and the need for numerous data centers to support its development, power demand is expected to grow in the coming decade, including in the United States. Thanks to the partnership, KKR and ECP plan to engage with industry leaders including utilities, power and data center developers, and independent power producers to accelerate the delivery of data center campuses required by hyperscalers. “In order for the U.S. to maintain its advantage in AI, we will need massive new investments in power infrastructure on an accelerated basis that are capable of addressing concerns related to electricity prices and carbon emissions,” Doug Kimmelman, Founder and Senior Partner, ECP, said in a statement. “We are committed to delivering solutions for our strategic partners and our investors through ECP’s strong utility relationships and expertise investing across a wide variety of power generation, renewable, and battery storage assets.” Commenting on the AI and data center boom, Kimmelman toldThe Wall Street Journal, “The capital needs are huge, and one of the big bottlenecks—maybe the bottleneck—is electricity availability.” ECP believes that natural gas power plants could support much of the needed new generation capacity.

More Info The Western countries will need additional incentives and sanctions on Russia to reduce their dependence on the Russian supply of nuclear fuel, according to French company Orano, one of the top Western suppliers of enriched uranium. “To entirely disconnect from Russia, we need new capacities, and industrial groups will only invest if they have long-term contracts,” Orano’s CEO Nicolas Maes told theFinancial Timesin an interview published on Wednesday. France’s Orano and Urenco, a consortium created in 1970 by the governments of Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, are the main Western competitors of Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy firm Rosatom. Europe has not sanctioned Rosatom or Russian nuclear fuel supplies as dozens of nuclear power stations in the eastern EU member states have been built by Russian companies and supplied with Russian nuclear fuel. A compromise sanctions measure hasn’t been agreed. As many countries are now looking to nuclear power to cut emissions and reliance on imports of oil and gas, they would need to cut their dependence on enriched uranium from Russia. But in order to reduce reliance on Russia, western contractors and suppliers would need visibility over the long-term demand, the chief executive of France’s Orano told FT. The executive also called for sanctions on the Russian nuclear sector, saying that “If there are no sanctions at all, we’ll see some electricity producers continue to get supplies from Russia as long as it’s possible.” Orano has started working with designers for small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs), the companysaidearlier this month. “With the creation of two “sharing groups”, Orano is acting as a strategic partner for start-ups working on the development of AMRs,” said the French company. France, where nuclear power dominates electricity generation, has been looking to build SMRs and other types of next-generation reactors.

The subsidiary of Gazprom, which operates the new Amur Gas Processing Plant, has filed the claim at the Arbitration Court of the Amur Region in Russia, Reutersreportedon Wednesday, citing court documents it had seen. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Germany-based Linde said in 2022 that it would withdraw from Russia, suspend all developments, sell industrial assets, and terminate supply to certain customers. In June 2022, Lindeendedits participation in the Amur gas processing complex, which is part of the Russian network of natural gas exports via the Power of Siberia pipeline to China. Two years earlier, Lindehad won a contractto provide engineering, procurement, and site services based on its proprietary technology for the cracker unit of SIBUR's Amur Gas Chemical Complex. Companies in Russia have filed several claims against Linde since the Western firm announced its withdrawal from the country two years ago. Most recently, a Russian court in Augustorderedthat assets worth $1.15 billion of a Linde subsidiary in the UK be frozen, as part of a dispute over another gas processing plant, the Ust-Luga complex. Linde signed in 2021 an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Gazprom for the complex. Gazprom is involved in many other lawsuits and claims over previous contracts for supply of services or goods. In June, an arbitration tribunal awarded German energy giant Uniper theright to terminateits long-term Russian gas supply contracts and awarded it more than $14.1 billion (13 billion euros) in damages for the gas volumes that Gazprom Export has not supplied since the middle of 2022.

Chinese companies’ entry into Iraq’s oil and gas sector is a result of an agreement inked back in 2019 and dubbed “Oil for Reconstruction and Investment”, under which Chinese companies are granted entry into Iraq’s energy infrastructure sector as investors in return for oil supplies. In addition to this agreement, Iraq’s government sought to stimulate more foreign investment in its oil and gas resources by changing the mechanism used to share profits from exploration and production activities. Previously, Iraq offered foreign energy investors a technical service contract, which paid a flat fixed rate to the producing companie for every barrel they extracted. This was considered sub-optimal by the producers since it meant that they could not make more money when oil prices went higher and at the same time had to shoulder any upward changes in production costs. Since this led to a pullout by some supermajors, Iraq decided to offer those still in the country and potential new entrants a profit-sharing agreement mechanism that did not feature the above problems with costs and market price advantages.

More Info Crude oil prices remained subdued after falling to the lowest in a month earlier in the week, as Israel indicated it was ready to negotiate an end to the hostilities with Lebanon. At the time of writing,Brent crudewas trading at $71.76 per barrel, andWest Texas Intermediatewas changing hands at $67.91 per barrel, both slightly up from opening in Asian trade. “A hefty plunge in oil prices since the start of the week may call for an attempt to stabilise in today’s session, but overall gains remain limited, given the lack of bullish catalysts to drive a more sustained up-move,” IG market strategist Yeap Jun RongtoldReuters, adding that the prospect of a ceasefire reduces the risk of further escalation in the oil region, diminishing concern about a supply disruption. However, Standard Chartered warned that the easing of that concern may be premature. “We see the risk of an escalating series of attacks over an extended period, with no immediate prospect of either military or diplomatic resolution,” analysts with the bank wrote in a report, ascitedby Bloomberg. “There has been a trend over the past year for the market to act as if every escalation in Middle East geopolitical risk is a de-escalation,” they wrote, pointing out that Israel had still not achieved all its goals with regard to Iran, leaving a door open to further regional violence that could affect prices, especially in the months leading up to the inauguration of the next U.S. president. In further potentially bullish news for oil, China is set to unveil yet another fiscal stimulus package next week. However, Reutersnotedin a report on the news, that additional stimulus would likely act more as a stabilizer of the economy rather than a booster, limiting its potential positive impact on crude oil demand.

More Info Russia and Ukraine are in the very early stages of Qatar-mediated talks about halting attacks on each other’s energy facilities and infrastructure, the Financial Timesreports, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. Over the past year, Russiahas attackedUkrainian energy facilities, targeting power plants. Ukraine, for its part, has been targeting oil depots, terminals, and refineries. Previous talks on a potential halt to these attacks from both sides were close to reaching an agreement in August this year. But the negotiations were derailed by the surprise Ukrainian groundincursioninto the Kursk region in Russia in early August, according to FT’s sources. Very early-stage talks have reportedly resumed now, and “There’s now talks on the energy facilities,” a diplomat told FT. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyysaidthat the two sides need to agree to halt attacks on crucial civilian energy and food infrastructure, as a step toward potential de-escalation of the most aggressive phase of the war so far. Attacks on energy infrastructure have been dialed down from both sides in recent weeks, as part of an understanding between the Ukrainian and Russian intelligence agencies, a senior Ukrainian official told FT. Refineries and oil depots in Russia, especially those in the southwest, have seen extensive maintenance and halts due to attacks from Ukrainian drones this year. Scheduled maintenance is alsoboosting the idle refining capacityin Russia this month. Russia has raised the refining capacity volumes it expects to be idle this month by 67% compared to an earlier plan, due to scheduled maintenance at major refineries, Reuters estimatesshowedearlier this month. Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure have become a fixture this year, with drones the weapon of choice for conducting the strikes. Russia, for its part, has been targeting power plants, which has crippled Ukrainian electricity supply.

More Info Litasco, the international oil trading and shipping firm owned by Russian oil company Lukoil, is looking to rebuild its business in the Americas by arranging credit lines and distancing itself from Russian oil trades and its parent, sources close to Litasco have toldReuters. Litasco and Lukoil have not been sanctioned by the United States as part of the wide-ranging sanctions on Russian energy companies. The U.S. and its Western allies are looking to stifle Vladimir Putin’s revenues from energy exports—Moscow’s single most important source of income for the budget. Despite the fact that neitherSwitzerland-based Litasco, nor Lukoil are on a sanctions list, international credit lines to the trading firm have dried up to near zero, according to Reuters’s sources. Banks, insurers, and other stakeholders in the oil trading business have been avoiding doing deals with Litasco anyway, for fear of future sanctions on the company or Lukoil, and for concerns about image as many players have sought to distance themselves from trading in Russian oil and petroleum products. Litasco is now looking to distance itself from its Russian parent Lukoil, the second-biggest oil producer in Russia after state-controlled Rosneft, one source told Reuters. Others added that Litasco operates independently of its parent company. Litasco is now looking to rebuild its oil and fuel trading business in North, Central, South Americas and the Caribbean, one of the sources said. All three sources told Reuters that Litasco’s U.S.-based unit, Lukoil Pan Americas, does not trade in oil cargoes of Russian origin. Apart from distancing itself from dealing in Russian oil, Litasco has already secured over $2 billion in open credit lines which will support its trades, according to the sources. These credit lines put “the company in a solid financial position to re-activate the business which was virtually dormant for the past two years,” one source told Reuters.

More Info Crude oil inventories in the United fell by 573,000 barrels for the week ending October 25, according to The American Petroleum Institute (API). Analysts had expected a build of 2.3 million barrels. For the week prior, the API reported a 1.643-million-barrel build in crude inventories. So far this year, crude oil inventories have slumped by just over 6 million barrels since the beginning of the year, according to API data. On Tuesday, the Department of Energy (DoE) reported that crude oil inventories in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) rose by 1.2 million barrels as of October 25. SPR inventories are now at 385.8 million barrels, a figure that reflects an increase of about 38 million from its multi-decade low last summer, yet 249 million down from when President Biden took office. At 4:30 pm ET,Brent crudewas trading down slightly, off $0.16 (-0.22%) on the day at $71.26—down roughly $4.50 per barrel loss from this time last week. The U.S. benchmark WTI was also trading down on the day by $0.08 (-0.12%) at $67.30—down almost $5 per barrel from last Tuesday. Gasoline inventories fell this week by 282,000 barrels, on top of last week’s 2.019-million-barrel decrease. As of last week, gasoline inventories are 3% below the five-year average for this time of year, according to the latestEIA data. Distillate inventories fell by 1.463 million barrels, on top of last week’s 1.478-million-barrel decrease. Distillates were already about 9% below the five-year average as of the week ending October 18, the latest EIA data shows. Cushing inventories—the benchmark crude stored and traded at the key delivery point for U.S. futures contracts in Cushing, Oklahoma—rose by 320,000 barrels, according to API data, compared to the 216,000-barrel draw of the previous week.

More Info The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) is seeking to purchase 3 million barrels of crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the latest in a string of contracts aimed at refilling emergency inventories following arecord releaseof 180 million barrels in 2022. The DoE has since repurchased over 56 million barrels at an average price of around $76/barrel, considerably lower than its sale price of $95/barrel. The DoE has also worked with Congress to cancel a previously planned sale of 140 million barrels of oil from the reserve, also counting toward the refilling of the stockpile. However, this might be the last big purchase by the Biden administration, or even the next administration, with the funds allocated by Congress almost depleted. Whereas it remains unclear exactly how much money the DoE has left in its fund to buy more oil, a department source said earlier in the month that it had only $150 million left, or about enough to buy a little over 2 million barrels atcurrent oil prices. The SPR had ~384.6 million barrels of crude oil as of October 18, the highest level since the end of 2022 but still well below the typical 600-700 million the SPR held when the country used to rely more heavily on oil imports. The DoE has repeatedly reassured observers that it will continue with the exercise. ‘‘The DOE will continue to purchase crude at a good price for taxpayers with available emergency revenues,\" a department spokesperson said on Monday. Not everyone is convinced it’s going to be a walk in the park going forward. \"Imminent depletion of the SPR petroleum account puts the onus on Capitol Hill for further replenishment, but politicization of the SPR could make it hard for lawmakers to agree,\" Kevin Book, a policy analyst at ClearView Energy Partners, a non-partisan research group, told Reuters. According to his estimates, \"theoretically\" there would still be some money left if the latest solicitation was fulfilled, but that it would not be much.

More Info The United Steelworkers union is counting on renewable energy projects to offset job losses at oil refining and petrochemical plants, a union official hastold Reuters, adding that some 17,000 new union jobs could be replaced thanks to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The USW–which represents some 30,000 workers from North American crude oil refinery and petrochemical plants–appears to remain optimistic even in the event of a victory for Donald Trump in next week’s elections. Trump has promised to reverse the IRA if he wins. \"The Inflation Reduction Act was a bipartisan bill,\" USW District 13 director Larry Burchfield told Reuters. \"There's a lot all sewed up in the IRA. It would take a lot to undo it.\" Nevertheless, other experts have warned that Trump could still significantly change America’s energy trajectory during a second term. Energy analytics firm Wood Mackenziehas predictedthat a second Trump presidency could place a huge part of renewable energy investments at risk, increase carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes more by 2050 and delay peak fossil fuel demand by 10 years beyond current forecasts. WoodMac projects ~$7.7T in overall spending by the U.S. energy sector through 2050 under current policies, a figure that could be cut by $1T under Trump through reduced policy support for low carbon energy and infrastructure improvements. The analysts have predicted that less spending on low carbon energy could boost demand for natural gas by 6% or 6B cf/day by 2030. WoodMac says that whereas Trump would lack the power to unilaterally repeal the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) enacted during the Biden presidency, he could bring changes to environmental rules and executive orders that would roll back many of Biden's environmental policies. The research firm also projects that the total number of EVs on U.S. roads in 2050 would be 50% lower than under current policies because automakers would likely favor the production of hybrid vehicles over pure electric cars. There’s a lot at stake here. The auto industry has unveiled more than $100 billion in EV investments, with potential to create 100,000 American jobs.By Alex Kimani for Oilprice.com | Previous Post TotalEnergies to Produce More Gas Condensate Offshore Denmark Next Post U.S. To Buy 3 Million Barrels for The SPR, But There’s A Problem Alex Kimani is a veteran finance writer, investor, engineer and researcher for Safehaven.com.

A potential dry gas seal failure was identified in the ‘A’ gas compressor during operations on October 26, 2024, Serica said today, adding that no oil and gas has been leaked from the platform. The FPSO operator, Dana Petroleum, is working to identify and execute the necessary repair, according to Serica. In June, Sericasaidthat the Triton FPSO is currently operating with a single gas export compressor with repairs to restore two compressor operations due in October. With the production halt at Triton now, Serica said that its ability to maintain full-year production guidance of towards the bottom of the 41,000 boepd to 46,000 boepd range was dependent on sustained production levels of around 50,000 boepd in the fourth quarter. Given the outage of production from Triton, Serica’s production for 2024 is now expected to be slightly below this previous guidance, the company said. The Triton Area consists ofeight producing oil fieldsdeveloped via common infrastructure in the UK Central North Sea, located approximately 190 km (118 miles) east of Aberdeen. The fields currently producing oil and gas via the Triton FPSO vessel are Evelyn, Bittern, Guillemot West and Guillemot Northwest, Gannet E, Clapham, Pict, and Saxon. Serica Energy’s partners in the cluster are Dana Petroleum Limited and Waldorf Production UK Limited. Dana currently operates the Triton FPSO along with the Bittern, Guillemot West / North West, Clapham, Saxon, and Pict fields. Serica is the operator of the Gannet E and Evelyn fields, with Dana as the pipeline operator and Petrofac as the well operator. Serica also operates the Belinda field. Earlier this year, Serica said it hadreceived final approvalfrom the UK regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), to develop the 100% owned and operated Belinda field.

More Info Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person and the owner of the continent’s newest and biggest refinery, is discussing crude supply to the refinery and fuel supply to Nigeria with Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu at an emergency meeting on Tuesday. Dangote and President Tinubu are meeting with representatives of the domestic oil industry regulators and oil industry officials as the new refinery of the Dangote Group has faced issues with crude supply since it started up operations earlier this year. The Dangote refinery began the production of fuels in January 2024,marking the start-upof the plant that has seen years of delays. The refinery, which has a processing capacity of650,000 barrels per day(bpd), will meet 100% of Nigeria’s demand for all refined petroleum products and will also have a surplus of each of the products for export. It has yet to reach full capacity, expected at some point next year. However, the crude supply to the refinery has been an issue for Dangote in recent months. “We’re meeting to make sure everything is put together. There are a lot of issues about the exchange rate and pricing,” Dangote told theFinancial Times. There have been reports and speculation that Dangote has fallen out with the Nigerian president, who is reportedly not as supportive of Dangote’s business as his predecessor. Moreover, rumors have it that Africa’s wealthiest person has issues with the state oil firm NNPC. Dangote told FT that there his relationship with the president hasn’t been strained and insisted they are on good terms. Earlier this month, the Dangote refinery received four cargoes from NNPC under a sale agreement to deliver crude which the refinery will pay in naira, the local currency, Nigerian mediareported. Dangote wants to end Nigeria’s fuel imports with the mega refinery. So far, the biggest oil producer in Africa has been importing all of the fuel it consumes. But the businessman told FT that an “oil mafia” exporting crude and importing cheap – including Russian – crude is trying to undermine these plans.

More Info Austrian energy company OMV reported a lower-than-expected net profit for the third quarter as stronger chemicals sales and margins could not fully offset weaker oil prices, refining margins, and trading. OMV on Tuesdaysaidthat its net profit on a current cost of supply (CCS) basis, its closest metric to net income, fell by 20% to $374 million (346 million euros) for the third quarter, lower than a company-provided consensus of $495 million (457 million euros). Operating profit adjusted for the current cost of supply fell by 21% year-over-year to $1.13 billion (1.05 billion euros). Higher results in the chemicals division, with better margins for polyolefins and olefins, were unable to offset much lower refining earnings amid plunging margins. Moreover, OMV’s oil and gas production fell by 9% to 332,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), while production cost rose by 18% to $10.6 per barrel of oil equivalent. The company’s average realized oil and natural gas sales dropped as prices for crude oil and natural gas were lower in the third quarter compared to the same period of 2023. OMV’s earnings in the Fuels & Feedstock division slumped between July and September, due to significantly reduced refining indicator margins, partly compensated by strong retail performance. The OMV refining indicator margin in Europe plunged by 64% to $5 per barrel. “A stable utilization rate at the European refineries and an improved retail result had a partially offsetting effect,” OMV said. The positive contribution of the retail business was driven by improved margins as well as higher volumes, partly due to the acquisition of additional filling stations in Austria and Slovakia. Lower refining and trading margins also led to lower contributions from ADNOC Refining and ADNOC Global Trading, OMV’s joint venture business with Abu Dhabi’s national oil company ADNOC and Italian energy major Eni.

More Info BP (NYSE: BP) booked third-quarter earnings above analyst expectations, although the profit was lower from a year earlier and the second quarter amid weaker oil prices and low refining margins. BPreportedon Tuesday an underlying replacement cost (RC) profit – its key earnings metric closest to net profit – of $2.3 billion for the third quarter, down by 30% compared to the same period of 2023 and down from $2.8 billion for the previous quarter. While the third-quarter profit was BP’s weakest since the fourth quarter of 2020, it beat the analyst consensus of $2.1 billion compiled by LSEG. Compared with the second quarter of 2024, the earnings reflect “weaker realized refining margins, a weak oil trading result and lower liquids realizations, partly offset by higher gas realizations,” BP said in a statement, adding that the gas marketing and trading result was “average”. Earlier this month, BP had alreadyflagged weaker earningsfor Q3, on the back of weak refining margins and weaker oil trading results. Falling refining margins have already hit the second-quarter earnings of the supermajors, and further declines in Q3 are expected to continue to weigh on the profits. Shell, which reports Q3 results on Thursday, has also warned that lower refining margins and a loss in its chemicals business wouldweighon its third-quarter earnings. At BP, net debt rose to $24.3 billion, up from $22.6 billion at the end of the second quarter, primarily driven by lower operating cash flow, higher capital expenditures, and lower divestment and other proceeds, the UK-based supermajor said. Despite the lower earnings and higher debt, BP announced a $1.75 billion share buyback as part of its $3.5 billion commitment for the second half of 2024. Furthermore, BP is committed to announcing $1.75 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, it said. However, the company intends to review elements of its financial guidance, including expectations for 2025 share buybacks, in a February update on its medium-term plans. These could include BPscrapping a previous targetto reduce its oil and gas production by the end of the decade. In today’s results release, CEO Murray Auchincloss said “In oil and gas, we see the potential to grow through the decade with a focus on value over volume.” “We also have a deep belief in the opportunity afforded by the energy transition,” Auchincloss added.
