Energy enters a new age of disorder | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âWar is too important to be left to the generals,â said Georges Clemenceau, Franceâs victorious prime minister in the First World War. Energy executives keenly anticipate Adipec in Abu Dhabi at the start of November. For the energy industry to confront a new era of disorder, it needs leaders from its own ranks, but also from across global society â politics, government, science, media and the military. The modern energy system grew up in a post-1945 and post-1989 world which, for all its
Winter is coming: The LNG crisis Europe cannot afford to ignore | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Friday, Bangladesh paid $28.03 per million British thermal units for four liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes â equal to $163 per barrel of oil. On the same day, Qatar attempted to send an empty tanker into the Gulf but, after a few hours, Al Ghashamiya turned around. These are signs of a sinister but largely unnoticed gas struggle. The US military has been marking its own homework recently as outstanding, for escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. In the face of deadly Iranian
US claim on Venezuelan oil reserves is a deliberate red cape to a bull | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like the endless contests of conservatives and liberals in the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Latin American petroleum is a tale of political struggle.

Now the US claim on Venezuelan oil reserves is a deliberate red cape to a bull. The plan was announced on Friday by US President Donald Trump, who wrote, âsecured majority US control of more th
Deadly version of the Battleships game is playing out in Hormuz: Who will win? | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The classic game of Battleships requires you to guess where your opponentâs ships are located in order to sink them. A more deadly version is playing out in the Strait of Hormuz now. Oil is getting out â but is it enough to pry open Iranâs strangulation? The combat of words, data and barrels continues. Ships sail through quickly in convoy, under cover of darkness, with transponders turned off. Tactics for passage and defences for ships will continue to improve. The shuttling and escort ope
Iran warâs final victim could be the Gulfâs fragile environment | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is said the first casualty of war is the truth; the final victim is often the environment. At the end of the First Gulf War, Saddam Hussein caused the second-largest oil spill in history by dumping about four million barrels of Kuwaiti crude into the sea. Now holed ships and exploded tanks again threaten the Gulfâs people and ecosystems. The way Iran has fought this war magnifies the danger in the narrow waters of the Gulf. Two Adnoc tankers were reported on Thursday to have been hit, and a
