Iran’s Disappearing Oil Is Becoming Everyone’s Problem | OilPrice.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iranian oil is disappearing from the market just as its biggest buyer returns for more. China’s recovering crude demand is colliding with the loss of a supplier that sustained its independent refiners through the crisis, forcing them to compete for increasingly expensive alternatives. The consequences reach beyond China: every replacement barrel tightens supplies for other buyers, while Tehran faces a growing incentive to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, which is now carrying an unexpectedly strong
Soaring Freight Costs Make Japan’s Crude Imports the World’s Most Expensive | OilPrice.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oil is increasingly getting more expensive before it even reaches a refinery. Freight now accounts for roughly a fifth of the cost of a crude cargo, turning the tanker market into a major driver of the price buyers pay. At the center of the squeeze is the very large crude carrier, or VLCC, the supertanker that can move about 2 million barrels in a single voyage. Amidst stranded Gulf and Red Sea supplies, these vessels are spending more time at sea as refiners search farther afield for supplies.

Read excerpt
Taiwan is moving toward a nuclear comeback barely a year after shutting its last reactor, as soaring LNG prices and mounting dependence on imported gas force a rethink of its energy strategy.

Read excerpt
Uganda is approaching its entry into the oil export market, but getting its new Pearl Sweet grade to buyers will be harder than its low sulphur content might suggest. The country’s two projects are expected to produce 230,000 b/d at plateau, opening a yet untapped revenue stream for the landlocked economy. Yet the crude’s high wax content requires heating from the production facilities through to its destination, adding costs and narrowing the pool of buyers. With production deadlines slipping a
Russia Is Redrawing Its Energy Map Through the Arctic | OilPrice.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Russia’s Northern Sea Route (NSR) is about to become a game-changer for Eurasian energy trade, and Europe’s January 2027 ban on Russian LNG is pushing Moscow to bring it to life sooner than planned. LNG will remain its foundation, while crude traffic and Rosneft’s vast Vostok Oil project could provide far greater scale. For Russia, the prize is a shorter route to Asian customers that avoids foreign-controlled chokepoints and increases Moscow’s command over export infrastructure. However, the rou
