The unquestionable top oil news of this week is Kpler’s report that oil flows via Hormuz have rebounded spectacularly in September, now sitting at almost 80% of pre-war levels. I think. I’m not sure, for reasons detailed below.Because we seem to be living in the Age of Races, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs jumped at the challenge, claiming oil exports from the Persian Gulf have actually rebounded to 98% , per JP Morgan, yes, ninety-eight percent, of pre-war levels, and are on track to reach those s
Whatever it takes: Germany edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Germany has just published a Roadmap for Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels aiming to end consumption of all hydrocarbons no later than 2045. Germany imports close to 100% of the oil and gas it consumes, which makes it even more import-dependent than China or India.

Located in the Netherlands and owned by Norway’s Yara, the frustrated fertiliser major, the place will liquefy carbon dioxide generated during Yara’s ammonia production process. Everyone involved seems really proud of that place, which is seen capturing a staggering 15 million (million, with an m) tonnes of CO2 over 15 years — at the modest storage cost of 50 euro per tonne ann

“It's probably wrong to believe there can be any limit to the horror which the human mind can experience. On the contrary, it seems that some exponential effect begins to obtain as deeper and deeper darkness falls...” This is my personal number one in terms of chilling chapter openings, courtesy of Stephen King who, despite his recent tendency to disgrace himself with political opinions, remains one of the best wordsmiths out there.Yet even King probably wouldn’t be able to conceive of the level
