Oil & gas: a flourishing sector that is innovating

11 Dec 2023  |  stainless-steel-world.net  |  English  |  Oil & Gas Industry

Oil and gas prices have stabilized but remain higher than early last year, benefiting producers but impacting consumers. Western sanctions on Russia have led to discounted sales to India and China. Europe is reducing energy dependence on Russia with new projects, while North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia are also seeing significant developments. The industry is investing in green energy and emissions reduction, with numerous CO2 sequestration projects. 3D printing is becoming mainstream, offering efficiency and waste reduction. New materials and alloys are being developed to meet industry demands.

Supertanker state: How Qatar is gambling its future on global gas dominance

02 Jul 2020  |  Middle East Eye  |  English  |  Global Gas Market

Qatar is heavily investing in its liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector to maintain its global dominance despite the challenges posed by falling oil prices and the impact of Covid-19. The country relies on long-term contracts for most of its LNG sales, which has delayed the financial impact of the recent price drops. However, renegotiations of these contracts are underway, and future LNG projects may be revised due to lower demand and prices. Qatar Petroleum is pushing forward with expansion plans, including significant investments in LNG infrastructure and shipbuilding, aiming to outcompete higher-cost producers like Australia and the US. The country is also exploring deeper ties with Russia to coordinate gas policy.

The article also touches on the challenges of a low-cost environment, the oversupply of crude oil, and the uncertain future of oil prices, with some optimism for eventual recovery.

Stagnant natural gas prices, lower spending will limit shale gas stocks in 2024

20 Dec 2023  |  S&P Global  |  English  |  Natural Gas Prices

US shale gas producers face delayed price recovery until late 2024 or 2025 due to warmer winter weather and increased market volumes. Low gas prices, below $3/MMBtu, are impacting cash flows and shareholder returns, leading to potential spending cuts. Analysts suggest waiting until late 2024 to invest in shale gas stocks. M&A activity remains strong, with notable deals like Tokyo Gas's acquisition of Rockcliff Energy. To stabilize prices, production cuts exceeding 1 Bcf/d are necessary, with capex reductions expected to support market footing in early 2024.

Natural Gas Prices Begin to Rise

03 Dec 2019  |  Bisnis.com  |  Indonesian  |  Natural Gas Prices

Natural gas futures prices rebounded on Monday after a significant drop the previous week. January 2020 contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose by 3.03% to $2.35 per mmBtu. The previous week saw prices at their lowest since 2001 due to record production and higher-than-normal temperatures reducing heating fuel demand. The US Energy Information Administration reported a 5% decrease in total US natural gas consumption, with declines across power generation, industrial, residential, and commercial sectors. Weekly gas withdrawals from US reserves were significantly lower compared to the same period last year.

Govt redirects Rs82bn from Sui profits to freeze gas prices

28 Jan 2025  |  www.thenews.com.pk  |  English  |  Gas Prices

The Pakistani government has redirected Rs82 billion from the profits of state-owned Sui gas companies, initially intended for reducing circular debt, to prevent a rise in gas tariffs for ordinary consumers. This move, announced by Minister for Petroleum Musadik Malik, aims to alleviate financial pressure on lower-income households while maintaining a focus on addressing circular debt in the energy sector. Despite the reallocation, Rs18 billion remains for circular debt management. The decision follows the Prime Minister's rejection of a proposed gas price increase, benefiting economically weaker segments. However, gas prices for the General Industry have been raised as per an agreement with the IMF. The government also reports progress in reducing gas theft.

Gas Prices Alter Habits of Many, but Far From All

09 Aug 2006  |  www.nytimes.com  |  English  |  Gas Prices

Car owners across the United States are experiencing varied reactions to rising gasoline prices, influenced by the shutdown of the Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska. While some, like Justin Ogle, are adapting by using public transportation, others, such as Glennis Claxton, are contemplating purchasing cars despite the high costs. Wealthier individuals have more options, including buying hybrid vehicles, whereas lower-income households and urban residents are more likely to change their behavior by carpooling or using mass transit. A Pew Research Center poll highlights these disparities in responses to the gas price increases.

When Natural Gas Prices Cool, Flares Burn in the Permian Basin

26 Mar 2024  |  Inside Climate News  |  English  |  Natural Gas Prices

Natural gas prices in the Permian Basin have fallen below zero, leading to increased flaring and methane emissions. Sharon Wilson of Oilfield Witness documented significant emissions at ONEOK's Coyanosa station. The Permian Basin is a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Regulatory bodies like the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Railroad Commission of Texas are scrutinized for their handling of flaring exemptions. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Protection Agency advocate for stricter methane regulations. Pipeline capacity issues and fluctuating gas prices exacerbate the problem, with companies often opting to flare gas. The Department of Energy has allocated funds to reduce methane emissions, while New Mexico enforces stricter flaring regulations.

Europe energy crisis: Have natural gas prices peaked?

16 Nov 2023  |  www.euronews.com  |  English  |  Natural Gas Prices

Natural gas prices in Europe have seen significant fluctuations, with a 15% increase in October and a 40% rally at one point, amidst geopolitical conflicts and a slowing economy. European gas inventories are currently 96% full, which is above the ten-year seasonal average. Weather conditions, such as a prolonged El Niño, could impact gas prices. The eurozone's economic slowdown is evident from the recent HCOB’s Eurozone Manufacturing PMI and S&P Global's flash eurozone Composite PMI, indicating contractions in business activity in Germany, France, and the UK. Germany's gas consumption has decreased by 13% in the first half of 2022. Hedge funds have been selling gas futures, and natural gas prices have decreased by 3%. The market remains sensitive to supply shocks, and energy markets are expected to experience volatility. For consumers and businesses, this leads to budgeting challenges and potential impacts on inflation and the retail sector. Strategic hedging and planning are recommended.

Asian LNG importers are preparing for high spot prices this winter due to tight demand-supply fundamentals, driven by China's economic rebound and increased demand. Spot LNG prices have reached seasonal highs, with futures indicating continued tight market conditions. Chinese importers are closely watched, with national oil companies having secured winter positions through tenders. Gas inventories in North Asia and Europe will significantly influence winter LNG prices, with concerns over European inventories and Russian gas supplies. Platts Analytics anticipates sustained high prices due to low European storage and increased demand in Asia and South America.

Electricity and gas prices in Europe, which surged after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, are now stabilizing.
