Saudi Aramco Takes $3.6 Billion Stake in China Oil Refinery
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/saudi-aramco-takes-3-6-billion-s…
...
Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil producer, has agreed to buy a 10% stake in a giant oil complex in China for 24.6 billion yuan ($3.6 billion), in a deal that will significantly expand its refining presence in China.
Aramco will also supply 480,000 barrels of crude oil per day to Rongsheng Petrochemical Co’s refinery in the eastern province of Zhejiang over a 20-year period, according to a statement from the Chinese company. Aramco will provide a credit of $800 million to Rongsheng for the purchase, that statement said. Aramco Overseas Company, a subsidiary of Aramco, will acquire the shares.
Rongsheng owns a 51% equity interest in Zhejiang Petroleum and Chemical Co., which in turn owns and operates the largest integrated refining and chemicals complex in China, with a capacity to process 800,000 barrels per day of crude oil and to produce 4.2 million metric tons of ethylene per year.
“This announcement demonstrates Aramco’s long-term commitment to China and belief in the fundamentals of the Chinese petrochemicals sector,” Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani, Aramco Executive Vice President of Downstream, said in a separate statement.
The deal comes a day after Saudi Aramco and its Chinese partners agreed to build a refining and petrochemical complex in China’s northeast, accelerating a development that was paused during the pandemic.

https://news.yahoo.com/saudi-aramco-oil-giant-sees-083818039…
...
Saudi Aramco has posted its highest profits since its 2019 listing as oil and gas prices surge around the world.
The state-owned energy giant saw an 82% jump in profits, with net income topping $39.5bn (£32.2bn) in the first quarter.
In a press release, the firm said it had been boosted by higher prices, as well as an increase in production.
...
Aramco's president and chief executive, Amin Nasser, said on Sunday that the company was "focused on helping meet the world's demand for energy that is reliable, affordable and increasingly sustainable".
"Energy security is vital and we are investing for the long-term," he added.
In March, the oil and gas producer pledged to ramp up investment and boost output significantly over the next five to eight years.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited the world's biggest oil exporter that month to try to persuade it to release more oil into world markets in the short-term.
...
Aramco also announced on Sunday it would issue 20 billion bonus shares to shareholders - one share for every 10 shares already owned.

Saudi Oil Minister Says Global Production Could Plunge 30% This Decade
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/saudi-oil-minister-says-globa…
...
“We’re heading toward a phase that could be dangerous if there’s not enough spending on energy,” Oil Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said in Riyadh. The result could be an “energy crisis,” he said.
The minister said daily oil output may fall by 30 million barrels by 2030. He urged energy companies and investors to ignore “scary messages” about oil and gas.
Prince Abdulaziz’s comments came shortly after the Saudi finance minister made a similar warning.
Their views differ from what most climate activists say is necessary to slow the warming of the planet. The International Energy Agency, which advises rich countries, has called for the cessation of new investment in fossil fuels if the world is to neutralize carbon emissions by 2050.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, is among the few countries still spending billions of dollars to raise production. It’s trying to increase its capacity to 13 million barrels a day from 12 million by 2027.
Global expenditure on oil and gas projects slumped 30% to $309 billion in 2020 and had only recovered slightly this year, according to Riyadh-based think tank the International Energy Forum.

Authored by Simon Watkins via OilPrice.com,
The initial public offering (IPO) of Saudi Aramco that was heralded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) as being a showcase flotation for raising massive new capital for the Kingdom and anchoring a major expansion of its international equities market presence has proven only to put Aramco into a debt spiral and highlighted a myriad of problems in Saudi Arabia to international investors. Now, Aramco is digging itself further into serious debt through bond issuances simply to pay for the huge dividend payments promised by MbS that were absolutely required to persuade anyone to buy into the omni-toxic IPO. ...

Aramco Turns to Bonds to Help Fund $75 Billion Dividend

(Bloomberg) -- Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, is set to return to the bond markets for the first time since April of last year as it seeks to fund a $75 billion dividend commitment.
Aramco, which hired banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for the sale, needs to raise debt after slumping crude prices caused profit to fall by 45% in the third quarter. That’s left it unable to generate enough cash to fund the investor payouts, almost all of which go to the Saudi government, which needs the money to plug a widening budget deficit.
The company could raise about $6 billion, according to two people familiar with the deal. Aramco media officials didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

As predicted, a second wave of COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the world economy with many European nations contemplating new shut downs. It looks like it will be a tough winter for the oil markets. In a recent article carried in Reuters, two energy trading firms, Vitol, and Trafigura offered dour forecasts for the next few months. Trafigura’s Executive Chairman, Jeremy Weir offered a demand forecast of a decline of a million BOPD in the U.S. and up to 1.5 mm in Europe as a result, with global demand through the winter at 92 mm BOPD. He made an additional general comment in assessing the bleak near term outlook.

Aramco’s Profit Drop Is A Dire Warning For Saudi Arabia
By Cyril Widdershoven - Nov 04, 2020, 6:00 PM CST
By reporting a 44.6% decrease in profits in Q3 2020, Aramco has put a major damper on Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification strategies and overall stability. Saudi Aramco reported that its Q3 2020 profits decreased to Riyal 44.21 billion ($11.79 billion) from Riyal 79.84 billion ($21.29 billion) in Q3 2019. Worryingly, even those disappointing financials were helped by several royalty changes that boosted profits. The results from OPEC’s largest oil producer contradict the optimism being expressed by the oil cartel’s leaders in the media. While the results are arguably better than those reported by IOCs such as Shell, BP, Total, and Chevron, they are still very disappointing. The upcoming Q4 results are expected the be even lower. It is now apparent that Saudi Arabia is in serious economic trouble. Looking at this most recent report, ...

The $110 Trillion Trend That Bezos, Buffet And Musk Are Betting On

Over 3,000 investors with over $110 trillion in assets under management can’t be wrong …

Libya Oil Output Hits 800,000 Bpd
By Irina Slav - Nov 02, 2020, 11:00 AM CST
Libya’s crude oil production has reached 800,000 bpd, Reuters has reported, citing sources in the know. This is a 100,000-bpd increase in just a few days, the report added.
Libya started ramping up oil production in late September when the Libyan national Army agreed to a ceasefire with the Government of National Accord and lifted its blockade from oil facilities.
During the more than eight months of the blockade, Libya’s oil output slumped from over 1 million bpd to less than 100,000 bpd. Since the lifting of the blockade, ...

Blackrock, Bezos And Musk Charging Ahead in this $30 Trillion Mega-Trend

A massive $250 billion has poured into ESG index funds since August, making ESG an investing megatrend that’s soared over 733% in just two years and has had over $30 trillion invested globally.
This is Big Capital’s new safe haven and some of the largest names in finance and tech from Goldman Sachs, to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are investing heavily.
ESG is considered a less risky and increasingly lucrative corner of Wall Street.
The multi-trillion-dollar reality is that tech and ESG are now inextricably linked.
And they are massively outperforming the market.
The holy grail of this new trend, therefore, should be a solid ESG platform combined with an impressive tech ecosystem.

Kurdistan Halts All Oil Exports After Attack
By Charles Kennedy - Oct 30, 2020, 4:30 PM CDT
The Kurdistan Region Government in Iraq declared a halt to all oil exports on Friday after experiencing an attack on a crude oil pipeline earlier in the week.
The pipeline suffered an attack on Wednesday, disrupting the flow of crude.
The KRG-controlled area of Iraq manages oil exports through the pipeline to the Ceyhan port in Turkey.
The market is carefully watching Iraq’s crude oil production and exports, as the most non-compliant member of the OPEC+ production cut agreement for nearly the entire duration of that agreement. Rumors surfaced earlier this week that Iraq may not be on board with extending the current production quotas beyond January 2021, after Saudi Arabia and Russia hinted that the oil market may not support the scheduled relaxing of cuts then as planned.
Iraq quickly dispelled the notion, however, that it would not be behind
extending the cuts, stressing that the nation would stand behind whatever OPEC+ unanimously agreed upon.
Iraq has been in a difficult place with its quota under the OPEC+ agreement, ...

Oil Plunges To $35 As Lockdowns Return
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 29, 2020, 9:50 AM CDT
Oil prices extended their 5-percent slump from Wednesday into Thursday morning, plunging by another 5 percent, with WTI Crude sliding to $35 a barrel, as major economies in Europe renewed lockdowns to fight the second wave of the coronavirus.
As of 10:07 a.m. EDT on Thursday, WTI Crude was plunging by 5.27 percent at $35.11, and Brent Crude was plummeting by 4.98 percent at $36.89. The U.S. benchmark slid to its lowest level since June, while the international crude benchmark Brent dropped below $37 a barrel to its lowest price since May this year.

Warring factions in Libya signed a countrywide ceasefire on Friday brokered by the United Nations. The ceasefire is poised to lead to more Libyan oil supply to the market at a time when demand is weak, and OPEC+ prepares to ease production cuts as of January.

Saudi Arabia Is Suffering The Consequences Of Its Failed Oil Price War
by Tyler Durden
Fri, 10/23/2020 - 19:20
Authored by Simon Watkins via OilPrice.com,
Nine months on from Saudi Arabia’s second major oil price war in the last five years, more negative consequences are manifesting themselves. Aside from the irrevocably damaged core relationship with the U.S., the permanent distrust of international investors, and the further alienation of many of its fellow OPEC members, Saudi Arabia is now beginning to discover the true depth and breadth of damage that it has done to its own economy, which will endure for many years to come.
Figures released at the end of September show that Saudi Arabia’s economy contracted 7 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) in the second quarter of 2020, with the Kingdom’s private sector showing a negative growth rate of 10.1 per cent, while the public sector recorded negative growth of 3.5 per cent. Saudi’s oil revenue in the first half of the year was 35 per cent lower than a year earlier, while non-oil revenue fell by 37 per cent. Moreover, in the second quarter of 2020 alone, the Kingdom’s petroleum refining activities recorded a 14 per cent y-o-y drop. All of this resulted in a current account deficit of SAR67.4 billion (US$18 billion), or 12 per cent of GDP, in Q220 compared with a surplus of SAR42.9 billion, or 5.8 per cent of GDP, a year earlier, according to Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for ...

The U.S. Has A Major EV Problem
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 24, 2020, 4:00 PM CDT
Even a battery with a million-mile lifespan can’t overcome one of the key hurdles to mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States and elsewhere—the insufficient public charging infrastructure. The EV revolution is not only about car performance, choice availability, or price parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. It also hinges on easy access to charging infrastructure to allay customer fears that they could be left stranded without battery power and without a charging point nearby.
EV infrastructure in the United States is expanding, but it needs a lot more expansion and investments to be ready for EVs to increase their market share.
Even California, the leader in EV sales and Tesla’s largest U.S. market, has recognized that it needs to fill the gap in charging infrastructure if it is to meet California Governor Gavin Newsom’s target of phasing out the sale of new gasoline-fueled passenger vehicles by 2035.
Earlier this month, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved a US$384 million plan to accelerate zero-emission transportation, including by allocating US$132.9 million for light-duty EV charging infrastructure and another US$129.8 million for medium- and heavy-duty EVs and infrastructure.
In August, California state officials gave Southern California Edison the green light for a US$436-million EV charging infrastructure program that will add about 38,000 new chargers throughout the utility’s 50,000-square-mile service area, which will be the nation’s largest EV charging program run by an investor-owned utility.
Who Should Operate Charging Points?
California is the leader when it comes to plans to authorize utilities to invest in EV charging infrastructure. More than half of the total US$2.6 billion approved by regulators in 24 states came from California as of September, The Wall Street Journal reported, ...

by Tyler Durden
Thu, 10/22/2020 - 20:20
By Greg Miller of FreightWaves
Chinese water torture is defined as “a painful process in which cold water is slowly dripped onto the scalp, forehead or face for a prolonged period of time, allegedly making the restrained victim insane.” Crude-tanker owners and investors may face their own version of this ancient torment. Today’s agonizingly low rates could be just the beginning.
The massive floating storage volumes that built up earlier this year are unloading. But very, very slowly. In aggregate, they’re dripping out. Meanwhile, oil demand is growing, but again, very slowly. Incremental oil demand is a trickle, not a flood.
First the party, now the hangover
Crude tankers filled up with storage cargoes in April-June after Saudi Arabia opened its spigots despite COVID-weakened demand. Tanker rates hit historic highs of over $250,000 per day but did so by pulling forward demand via storage deals and borrowing from the future.
The best hope for tanker markets was that storage would unwind quickly as global consumption rebounded. This was the so-called “short hangover” or “rip off the Band-Aid” scenario. It would depress rates in the near term as storage tankers unloaded and swiftly reentered the spot-market scrum. But it would hasten a return to normalcy.
Alas, new data provided to FreightWaves by intelligence company Kpler confirms that the Band-Aid is not being ripped off. It also implies that barring a major geopolitical event to supercharge spot rates, ...

Russian Destroyers Are Escorting Iranian Tankers In Mediterranean Amid US-UK Threats
by Tyler Durden
Fri, 10/23/2020 - 04:15
The United States Naval Institute has highlighted in a new report that Iranian fuel tankers are being escorted by Russia's military in the Mediterranean in order to prevent a high seas intercept or detention by American or allied vessels, as happened in 2019 with the Grace-1 off Gibraltar which involved seizure by elite British forces.
Citing satellite imagery, the US Naval Institute's official news page details that "Last week, the Iranian-flagged oil tanker Samah entered the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal." The imagery shows that:
"After a few miles, the 900-foot-long ship stopped reporting its position and destination. Evidence suggests the ship sailed to Syria, escorted by two Russian Navy ships, including a destroyer."

Oil Production Cuts Could Be Extended: Putin
by Tyler Durden
Fri, 10/23/2020 - 03:30
Submitted by OilPrice.com
Russia does not rule out the possibility that OPEC+ could extend its current 7.7 million barrels per day of production cuts into next year, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The comments could be merely jawboning to a market that is desperately seeking reassurances that oil production will not ramp up too quickly beyond demand. But Russia has in the past been reluctant to keep up its end of the oil production cuts, so any mention that it is even thinking about a slower tapering of the cuts is noteworthy.
In fact, Russia had failed to bring its own oil production down to the level it agreed to for most of the period of cuts in 2019 and early 2020.
Russia also was the spark that ignited the oil price war between it and Saudi Arabia-and by default the United States, when it refused to agree to additional cuts using the argument that as OPEC decreases its production, it opens the door for U.S. producers to increase theirs.
Vladimir Putin has had several discussions with Saudi Arabia and the United States on the state of the oil markets. “We believe there is no need to change anything in our agreements,” Putin said. “We will watch how the market is recovery. The consumption is on the rise.”

Iraq’s Kurdistan Region Says It Is Committed To OPEC+ Cuts

The semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq has agreed to reduce the region’s crude oil production as part of the ongoing OPEC+ agreement, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said on Thursday.
The statement came after Iraq’s Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar said earlier this week at an online petroleum conference that “the Kurdistan Region has not been contributing to OPEC+ cuts.”
Iraq, the least compliant member of the OPEC+ production cut pact, has promised for months to reduce its oil production and fall in line with its quota—something it hasn’t done since 2017.

By Charles Kennedy - Oct 22, 2020, 12:30 PM CDT
The semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in Iraq has agreed to reduce the region’s crude oil production as part of the ongoing OPEC+ agreement, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said on Thursday.
The statement came after Iraq’s Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar said earlier this week at an online petroleum conference that “the Kurdistan Region has not been contributing to OPEC+ cuts.”
Iraq, the least compliant member of the OPEC+ production cut pact, has promised for months to reduce its oil production and fall in line with its quota—something it hasn’t done since 2017.
In recent months, ...

Oil Prices Fall As Concerns About Second Wave Weigh On Markets ... RED WAVE is coming ... 🌊🌪🌩💥 ...
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 16, 2020, 10:00 AM CDT
Oil prices slid early on Friday and were on track for a flat weekly performance, as new coronavirus cases in Europe and the United States continued to spike, alarming the market that the oil demand recovery will be derailed.
As of 10:25 a.m. EDT on Friday, WTI Crude prices were trading down 1.10 percent on the day, at $40.49. Brent Crude was down 1.14 percent at $42.66. A stronger U.S. dollar, which makes buying oil more expensive for holders of other currencies, also weighed on oil prices on Friday.

ISIS Calls On Followers To Attack Westerners & Oil Pipelines Inside Saudi Arabia
by Tyler Durden
Mon, 10/19/2020 - 19:20
Though the so-called Islamic State Caliphate was at its height in 2014 and 2015, the terror group has been driven underground since it lost 95% of its territory in Iraq and Syria by December 2017. And in October 2019 the US military said it killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on the outskirts of Idlib province in Syria.
Effectively defeated, it's believed that ISIS has since organized itself into a network of terror cells in Iraq and Syria. This has been used as a prime justification for the Pentagon keeping some 500 to possibly 2,000 American troops in Syria, alongside Trump's 'secure the oil' campaign in Deir Ezzor.
But now Reuters reports ISIS has issued a rare new message urging supporters to attack westerners and oil pipelines inside Saudi Arabia. ...

Iran To Import North Korean missiles In 25-Year Military Deal With China
By Simon Watkins - Oct 19, 2020, 5:00 PM CDT
Following the end on the 18th of October of the 13-year United Nations’ embargo on Iran buying or selling weapons, the roll-out of the military component of the 25-year deal between China and Iran will begin in November, as exclusively revealed by Oil Price.com. After a series of meetings in China on the 9th and 10th of October between Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Zarif, and his China counterpart, Wang Yi, this military component may now also feature the deployment in Iran of North Korean weaponry and technology, in exchange for oil, according to sources very close to the Iranian government spoken to by OilPrice.com last week. Most notably this would include Hwasong-12 mobile ballistic missiles, with a range of 4,500 kilometres, and the development of liquid propellant rocket engines suitable for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or satellite launch vehicles (SLVs). This will all be part of a broader triangular relationship co-ordinated by Beijing and further facilitated by the imminent launch of a new digitised currency system by China.

OPEC+ Is On The Brink Of A Crisis
By Cyril Widdershoven - Oct 19, 2020, 7:00 PM CDT
The OPEC+ member countries are on the brink of a financial crisis if the latest assessments of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are accurate. The IMF has presented a very bleak outlook for an economic recovery in the Middle East and Central Asia, predicting a 4.1% contraction for the region. The main driving factor behind this bearish outlook is the IMF’s forecast that oil prices will remain in the $40 to $50 range in 2021. An extension of the current low oil price environment for another year would badly hurt oil and gas exporting countries, which includes all of the OPEC+ members. In its statement, the IMF predicted an economic contraction of 2.8% in April for the Middle East and Central Asia. IMF director Jihad Azour highlighted a large disparity in the projected economic loss of oil-importing and exporting countries, forecasting a negative 6.6% growth for oil-exporting countries, compared to a contraction of 1.3% for oil-importing countries. With many of the OPEC+ members being rentier-states, the need for higher oil prices cannot be overstated. A vast part of the government budgets of OPEC member states depends on oil and gas-related revenues. As such, all OPEC countries are looking at significant budget deficits this year, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait. Former OPEC member Qatar is in a similar situation, even as it tries to mitigate the damage by increasing its LNG exports. As both oil and gas demand has seen significant demand destruction this year, prices for both have plunged. At present, Brent oil prices are still 40% below their pre-COVID levels. There is little hope of a significant rise in prices any time soon as global oil and gas storage volumes are still at historically high levels, and demand looks set to dip again due to new COVID-related lockdowns and a further economic recession. The frequently cited breakeven price for the Saudi government budget is $80 per barrel, although Saudi government budget discussions seem to revolve around an oil price of $50. Iraq has also stated that it expects price levels of $50 per barrel for 2021. These optimistic predictions seem to be based solely on Chinese post-Covid economic figures, ...

IMF Sees Oil Prices At $40-50 Next Year
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 19, 2020, 11:00 AM CDT
Oil prices are not expected to rise much next year, and will stay in the $40-50 a barrel range, putting additional pressure on the oil exporters in the Middle East, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Monday in its update on the Regional Economic Outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia.
Gross domestic product in the region is set to drop by 4.1 percent this year, a downward revision of 1.3 percentage points compared with IMF’s forecast in April 2020. The economies in the oil exporters in the Middle East and North Africa are expected to suffer more and shrink by 6.6 percent this year, according to the IMF. ...

Aramco, Sabic hit blue ammonia milestone for zero carbon project in Japan
September 30/2020
MOSCOW (MRC) -- Saudi Aramco has completed its purchase of a 70 per cent stake in petrochemicals company Saudi Basic Industries for USD69.1 billion and extended the payment period by three years to 2028, providing a cushion against weak oil prices, said Chemweek.
The deal values Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) at 123.39 riyals (USD32.90) per share, 27.5 per cent above the company's share price of 89.40 riyals, as the coronavirus outbreak has hurt demand for petrochemicals products and dented SABIC's shares.
"It is a significant leap forward, which accelerates Aramco's downstream strategy and transforms our company into one of the major global petrochemicals players," Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said in a statement. SABIC is the world's fourth-biggest petrochemicals company.
Aramco and the Saudi state Public Investment Fund (PIF) amended the payment structure for deal, Aramco said in a bourse filing on Wednesday. Following a seller loan provided by the PIF, Aramco will pay instalments and loan charges until 2028, extending a previous 2025 deadline.
The first USD7 billion payment is due on or before Aug. 2, 2020, with the last instalment, a loan charge of USD1 billion, on or before April 7, 2028. The transaction was funded through promissory notes issued to the PIF at the deal's close on Tuesday, Aramco said. ...

Blue Ammonia: Another Major Breakthrough For Hydrogen Power
By Haley Zaremba - Oct 01, 2020, 3:00 PM CDT
Hydrogen burns completely cleanly, leaving behind nothing but water vapor, making it extremely attractive as an emissions-free fossil fuel alternative. While hydrogen receives a lot of lip service as a potential clean energy fuel solution for the global energy transition, the true picture is a bit more complicated. ...
Hydrogen is only as clean as the fuel that was used to create it. In reality, there is not just hydrogen, but green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, and gray hydrogen, the distinguishing feature of each being the kind of energy production that was used to produce it. By another categorization, one could say that there is green hydrogen, and then there is greenwashed hydrogen. Green hydrogen is the cleanest form of hydrogen, and therefore the most promising for a more climate-friendly energy future. It’s made through the exclusive use of renewable and emissions-free energies. Gray hydrogen, the most common form of hydrogen currently used in industrial applications, is made with fossil fuels, ...

Trump’s Offshore Oil Ban Will Hit Wind Farms Hard
By Alex Kimani - Oct 01, 2020, 6:00 PM CDT
Last month, President Trump shocked the entire oil industry after extending the existing moratorium on oil drilling along Florida’s, Georgia’s and South Carolina’s coasts. The announcement marked a complete 180 from White House’s previous stance that sought to open up those areas to oil drilling and caught many industry officials, congressional aides, and lobbyists, who have been working on the same issue, completely off-guard. It also went contrary to the sentiment of voters in those regions--including the majority of Democrats-- who say they are ‘‘more likely to vote for a candidate who supports access to oil and gas produced in the U.S.’’
Under normal circumstances, Trump’s stance would have been a big win by the clean energy camp and environmentalists who have been opposed to drilling activity in threatened areas. Unfortunately, it turns out that the renewables energy sector will be just as severely impacted by the moratorium.
Trump’s decision to rule out energy development along the East Coast will bar not only offshore oil and gas drilling but coastal wind farm development in equal measure.
The Interior Department agency has confirmed the broad reach of Trump’s latest orders and is likely to significantly impact U.S. wind development, a sector that has lately been recording the fastest growth amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. ...

Saudi Prince Abdulaziz Warns Oil Short Sellers: "We Will Never Leave This Market Unattended"

Fri, 09/18/2020 - 09:15
As the price of oil begins to falter, Saudi Arabia has stepped up its rhetoric, even going as far as to warn short sellers not to bet against the price of the commodity.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman gave "clear hints" on Thursday that there could be a change of direction in production policy forthcoming as the price of oil continues its slide, according to Bloomberg.
He said Thursday: “We will never leave this market unattended. I want the guys in the trading floors to be as jumpy as possible. I’m going to make sure whoever gambles on this market will be ouching like hell.” ...

Saudi-Arabien mahnt Förderdisziplin bei OPEC+-Treffen an
Saudi-Arabien dringt auf die Einhaltung des vom Ölkartell OPEC und seinen Partnern (OPEC+) beschlossenen Förderlimits.
Bei einem Online-Treffen warnte der saudische Energieminister Abdulasis bin Salman am Donnerstag davor, mehr Öl als erlaubt zu fördern. "Versuche, den Markt zu überlisten, werden nicht erfolgreich sein", sagte er zu den anderen zugeschalteten Ministern. Gerade angesichts der Folgen der Corona-Krise auf den Ölmarkt sei Disziplin geboten. Länder, die gegenüber den OPEC+ falsche Versprechungen über ihre Ölförderung machten, würden das Ziel der Allianz, den Markt zu stabilisieren und zu steuern, verfehlen.
Die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate sicherten zu, die Über-Produktion vom August mit niedrigeren Fördermengen im Oktober und November ...

China’s Crude Oil Imports Are Slowing Down
By Charles Kennedy - Sep 18, 2020, 5:00 PM CDT
China’s imports of crude oil have been trending much lower in September than in the past four months, while the rest of Asia is also significantly slowing imports this month with demand still under pressure, IHS Markit said on Friday.
Crude oil discharged at Chinese ports in the last two weeks were below 8 million barrels per day (bpd), at levels similar to what China imported in March and April, Fotios Katsoulas, Liquid Bulk Principal Analyst, Maritime & Trade, at IHS Markit, said in an analysis.
So far in the third quarter, China’s crude oil imports have stayed strong, with high congestion at many major crude ports.
“But activity so far in September suggests that the world’s biggest ...

Bei einem Online-Treffen warnte der saudische Energieminister Abdulasis bin Salman am Donnerstag davor, mehr Öl als erlaubt zu fördern. "Versuche, den Markt zu überlisten, werden nicht erfolgreich sein", sagte er zu den anderen zugeschalteten Ministern. Gerade angesichts der Folgen der Corona-Krise auf den Ölmarkt sei Disziplin geboten. Länder, die gegenüber den OPEC+ falsche Versprechungen über ihre Ölförderung machten, würden das Ziel der Allianz, den Markt zu stabilisieren und zu steuern, verfehlen.
Die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate sicherten zu, die Über-Produktion vom August mit niedrigeren Fördermengen im Oktober und November ...

China’s Crude Oil Imports Are Slowing Down
By Charles Kennedy - Sep 18, 2020, 5:00 PM CDT
China’s imports of crude oil have been trending much lower in September than in the past four months, while the rest of Asia is also significantly slowing imports this month with demand still under pressure, IHS Markit said on Friday.
Crude oil discharged at Chinese ports in the last two weeks were below 8 million barrels per day (bpd), at levels similar to what China imported in March and April, Fotios Katsoulas, Liquid Bulk Principal Analyst, Maritime & Trade, at IHS Markit, said in an analysis.
So far in the third quarter, China’s crude oil imports have stayed strong, with high congestion at many major crude ports.
“But activity so far in September suggests that the world’s biggest ...

It was evident to anyone with even half a brain that the last Saudi-instigated oil price war would end in abject failure for the Saudis, just as the previous 2014-2016 effort did and for the very same reasons.
For Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), one of the masterminds behind the oil war – the economic and political problems that his country now face appear to come a very distant second to preserving whatever he thinks is left of his own reputation, with the most obvious public manifestation of this being the aftermath of the internationally-shunned omni-shambolic initial public offering (IPO) for hydrocarbons giant, Saudi Aramco (Aramco). Consequently, in order to stand by one of the inducements required to inveigle anyone to buy the shares – in the triple-locked guaranteed dividend payout – swingeing cuts to key projects for Saudi Arabia are now being announced. ...

Jordan is expecting to resume oil imports from Iraq this month to the tune of 10,000 bpd, after it had to suspend imports completely in August due to the pandemic.

Trump Announces ‘Historic Peace Deal’ Between Bahrain And Israel
By Tom Kool - Sep 11, 2020, 4:08 PM CDT
In a three-way phone call on Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, U.S. President Trump announced that Bahrain became the next Arab Gulf State to join the historic peace deal that Israel closed with the UAE on August 13th.
Addressing reporters on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump already hinted at the participation of another nation in the peace deal. While some analysts expected Saudi Arabia to be the next Arab nation to normalize relations with Jerusalem, there were already some signals that Bahrain would be the next nation to establish relations after the country opened its airspace to Israeli flights.
Shortly after the phone call, U.S. President Trump announced the ‘’Historic Breakthrough’’, saying that it is ‘’the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!’’
Trump also tweeted the joint statement in which the two nations agree to work together to increase stability, security and prosperity in the region.

DoD Confirms $10-$20 Billion COVID Bailout For Contractors After Trump Blasted Military-Industrial Complex

Fri, 09/11/2020 - 09:45
This is surely the last thing the American people want to hear, but it does confirm President Trump's recent statements saying that top Pentagon brass essentially seeks out constant wars to keep defense contractors "happy": the Department of Defense plans to cut major military contractors a $10 billion to $20 billion COVID bailout check.
Defense One reports: "With lawmakers and the White House unable to come to an agreement on a new coronavirus stimulus package, it’s unlikely that money requested to reimburse defense contractors for pandemic-related expenses will reach these companies until at least the second quarter of 2021, according to the Pentagon’s top weapons buyer."
Defense undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment, Ellen Lord, in recent statements has indicated the private defense firm stimulus would cover the period from March 15 to Sept. 15 and is estimated at “between $10 and $20 billion.” ...

By Tsvetana Paraskova - Sep 08, 2020, 9:00 AM CDT
Oil prices plunged on Tuesday morning, with the Brent benchmark sliding to $40 a barrel, as the market looks increasingly concerned that oil demand recovery is faltering with the end of the U.S. driving season and weak refining margins in Asia.
As of 9:40 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, WTI Crude was down 6.97 percent at $37.00—the lowest level since the middle of June, and Brent Crude was plummeting 4.50 percent at $40.04, also the lowest price since June.
The difference in performance between the two benchmarks today is due to a Labor Day settlement mismatch, John Hardy, Head of FX Strategy at Saxo Bank, said.
“Rising Covid-19 cases around the world continue to raise concerns about the short-term demand outlook. To the list we can add the end of the US summer driving season, lower Chinese imports and a stronger dollar,” Hardy said, noting that the key support in Brent is now at $40.
In a sign that demand recovery is faltering, over the weekend, the world’s top oil exporter Saudi Arabia cut its official selling prices for crude oil for October.
“Clearly this suggests that the market is not tightening as quickly as many had anticipated, with supply edging higher, and with demand clearly faltering,” ING strategists Warren Patterson and Wenyu Yao said ...

Reliance's stake sale talks with Aramco stall over price, sources say

NEW DELHI/LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) - Talks over the sale of a 20% stake in Reliance Industries Ltd’s oil-to-chemical business to Saudi Aramco have stalled over price, four sources familiar with the matter said.
With the energy market hit by falling demand for crude due to COVID-19, Aramco wants the Indian conglomerate to review the $15 billion it agreed to sell the stake for last year, the sources told Reuters.
“Aramco has told Reliance that refining margins are terrible and are expected to remain subdued in Q3 at least, so they can’t pay the price they have agreed pre-COVID,” one of the sources said.
“In reality, Aramco does not have the money.”
A second source said Reliance would wait for the market to recover rather than settling for a “drastic” revaluation of the asset.

Rystad’s New Oil Demand Scenario Banks On Second Wave COVID-19
By Julianne Geiger - Jul 25, 2020, 10:30 AM CDT
Rystad Energy is now changing its base-case scenario for oil demand, banking on a second wave of Covid-19.
The new assumption for the base case now incorporates a mild second wave of the coronavirus, which will stall the global oil demand recovery. While Europe reopens parts of its economy, triggering an increase in oil demand, increases in the number of coronavirus cases in other large oil consumers, including the United States, Brazil, and India will offset those European increases, according to Rystad.
Rystad also added a worst-case scenario—one that sees oil demand to be 3.7 million bpd lower for the remainder of 2020, compared to the above base-case scenario, if full lockdowns are reimplemented globally due to increases in the coronavirus.

Saudi Aramco's Dividend Math Doesn't Add Up
David Fickling, Bloomberg News
BC-Saudi-Aramco's-Dividend-Math-Doesn't-Add-Up , David Fickling
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- It’s the mother of all payouts.
The $75 billion that Saudi Aramco doles out in dividends every year dwarfs what any other listed company gives to shareholders. It’s roughly equivalent to the payouts from Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Chevron Corp., BP Plc, Total SA, PetroChina Co., Eni SpA, Petroleo Brasiliero SA and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. or Sinopec — put together.
That makes Chief Executive Officer Amin Nasser’s promise to continue that level of returns for the next five years an extraordinary vote of confidence in an oil market awash with uncertainties. Saudi Aramco will be prepared to borrow money to ensure that it meets its commitment this year despite oil prices heading into negative territory, he said this month.
Running up debts to keep the dividend on track is standard practice for energy companies amid the carnage of 2020’s oil market —

On V-Day, Russia Vows To Prevent US-Led 'Regime Change' In Venezuela
by Tyler Durden
Wed, 06/24/2020 - 21:25
On Wednesday Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov used the occasion of Moscow's 75th anniversary V-Day parade commemorating the end of WWII to warn Washington against pushing regime change in Venezuela.
Among other foreign dignitaries, Caracas' top diplomat Jorge Arreaza was in Moscow for the events. Lavrov issued public statements of solidarity expressing support to the socialist country, calling it "a mainstay for countering the attempts to draw the region back into the 19th century and to impose the Monroe Doctrine."
"We strongly support your commitment to combating foreign diktat and any attempts at blatant interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state, opposing any attempts at a forced regime change," Lavrov said, as reported in Newsweek. ...

18 Million Barrels Of Sanctioned Venezuelan Oil Are Stuck At Sea
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Jun 24, 2020, 11:30 AM CDT
Oil tankers carrying at least 18.1 million barrels of Venezuelan oil are currently idling at sea across the world unable to find buyers – some for as long as six months – as many potential and previous customers of Venezuela’s crude are not taking chances with delivery for fear of incurring secondary U.S. sanctions.
According to Reuters estimates based on shipping data, industry sources, and documents of Venezuela’s state oil firm PDVSA, at least 16 tankers are idling off the coasts of Africa and Southeast Asia because few potential buyers would risk U.S. sanctions for dealing with the regime of Nicolas Maduro.
The 18.1 million barrels of still unsold Venezuelan crude oil is equal to two months of the country’s production at its current rate, according to Reuters.
Over the past months, the U.S. Administration has increasingly stepped up its maximum pressure campaign on Venezuela and its oil industry and exports, seeking to cut off revenues for Maduro’s regime.
Earlier this year, the United States slapped sanctions on Rosneft’s Switzerland-based trading arm and signaled that it was ready to tighten even more the noose around the Venezuelan government.
Last week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated three individuals and eight foreign entities, and identified two ...

Owner Of Largest Refinery In India Stops Importing Venezuelan Oil
By Irina Slav - Jun 26, 2020, 9:30 AM CDT
Reliance Industries, the owner of the largest refinery in India and the world, has stopped buying Venezuelan crude, according to unnamed sources in the know who spoke to Bloomberg,
Last year, Reliance bought a quarter of the oil Venezuela exported, but the last time it bought Venezuelan crude this year was in March, Bloomberg reported, citing tanker data, and at a much lower rate than in 2019, at 117,650 bpd.
Reliance is not alone in shunning Venezuelan oil, fearing repercussions from Washington. India’s second-largest refiner, Nayara Energy, has also stopped buying Venezuelan crude, switching to Canadian, Kuwaiti, and Ecuadorian oil, again according to Bloomberg shipping data.
Meanwhile, tankers carrying at least 18.1 million barrels of Venezuelan oil are currently idling at sea across the world unable to find buyers – some for as long as six months – as many potential and previous customers of Venezuela’s crude are not taking chances with delivery for fear of incurring secondary U.S. sanctions.
The latest round of sanction action by Washington against Caracas was to blacklist five Iranian tanker captains and all tankers that have called at Venezuelan ports over the 12 months to June, making many oil traders reconsider their plans. According to shopping brokerage data cited by Reuters earlier this month, there were as many as 77 tankers that have called at Venezuelan ports over the past 12 months, which puts them at risk of being blacklisted.
Despite the sanctions, Venezuela is still exporting some oil, mostly to ...

Saudi Aramco's Dividend Math Doesn't Add Up
David Fickling, Bloomberg News
BC-Saudi-Aramco's-Dividend-Math-Doesn't-Add-Up , David Fickling
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- It’s the mother of all payouts.
The $75 billion that Saudi Aramco doles out in dividends every year dwarfs what any other listed company gives to shareholders. It’s roughly equivalent to the payouts from Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Chevron Corp., BP Plc, Total SA, PetroChina Co., Eni SpA, Petroleo Brasiliero SA and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. or Sinopec — put together.
That makes Chief Executive Officer Amin Nasser’s promise to continue that level of returns for the next five years an extraordinary vote of confidence in an oil market awash with uncertainties. Saudi Aramco will be prepared to borrow money to ensure that it meets its commitment this year despite oil prices heading into negative territory, he said this month.
Running up debts to keep the dividend on track is standard practice for energy companies amid the carnage of 2020’s oil market —

OPEC+ is reportedly close to agreeing on an extension of the deep production cuts it signed up for in April, after the cartel’s leaders managed to convince Iraq of the continued need for oil production control, Bloomberg’s Javier Blas and Grant Smith write.
There have been doubts about the future of the cuts because earlier reports said that Russia may not be on board with them. Then Iraq came to the fore as a stumbling block.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that Saudi Arabia and Russia were getting increasingly fed up with OPEC’s number-two’s consistent failure to comply with its production quotas.

CEOs Bank Big Bonuses As Oil Companies Go Bankrupt
By Alex Kimani - Jun 06, 2020, 6:00 PM CDT
When public oil and gas companies are doing relatively well, many are happy to adopt a pay-for-performance model to reward CEOs and executives. However, the tables are quickly turned when things go to the dogs. When these companies go bankrupt, the misery is shared by employees who lose their jobs; retirees see their benefits and pensions go up in smoke, while shareholders and bondholders get wiped out. In sharp contrast, it's very common for blue-chip executives who have run their companies to the ground to receive multi-million dollar golden sendoffs. Indeed, top executives of oil and gas companies going through Chapter 11 frequently receive very fat payouts in the form of cash bonuses, stock grants, and other benefits that often exceed payments during the good times.

- The fourth Iranian fuel tanker has made its way into Venezuelan waters in a direct challenge to US sanctions on both countries. The first three tankers that Iran sent to Venezuela have already arrived and are in the process of unloading. The total deliveries from Iran to Venezuela are expected to be about 1.5 million barrels of gasoline and refining components that are critical to the nation’s oil industry survival. Venezuela has already nearly completely shut down all of its refineries, partly due to years and years of maintenance neglect and partly because it lacks the diluent to refine its ultra-heavy crude oil, which it used to import prior to the sanctions. There are five tankers total in the shipment from Iran. The lack of any response will play poorly against the Trump administration, ...

Der internationale Preis für Benzin sei mit 0,50 Dollar (0,45 Euro) festgelegt worden, führte Maduro aus. An wen die Lizenzen für die privat geführten Tankstellen gingen und ob es dazu ein Bieterverfahren gab, teilte der Präsident nicht mit.
Maduro kündigte zugleich ein Subventionssystem für weiterhin günstigeren Treibstoff an. Für ein Privatauto können demnach monatlich 120 Liter Benzin zum Literpreis von 5.000 Bolivar (0,023 Euro) gekauft werden, für Motorräder monatlich 60 Liter.

OPEC Compliance With Output Cuts Was Only 74% In May
By Julianne Geiger - May 29, 2020, 5:30 PM CDT
Not even a full month into OPEC’s deep production cut agreement, rumors have already surfaced that there is a difference of opinion over a possible extension of the oil production cuts—as usual, with Saudi Arabia on one side and Russia on the other.
But those discussions seem premature, given the latest Reuters survey that suggests that the cartel failed to fully comply with its agreed-upon quotas in May.
According to the survey data, Nigeria and Iraq did not live up to their commitments under the massive production cut deal that promised to take 9.7 million barrels of oil production per day out of the oversupplied market.

Russia’s Top Oil Producer Is Struggling With Output Cuts
By Tsvetana Paraskova - May 28, 2020, 4:30 PM CDT
Russia’s largest oil producer, Rosneft, is struggling to supply its long-term buyers with crude oil as it has to cut output due to the OPEC+ deal and will find it hard to keep the current cuts through the end of 2020, as Saudi Arabia is reportedly proposing, Reuters reported on Thursday, quoting sources with knowledge of the matter.
“Rosneft is in pain... They must supply refineries, term buyers. There are simply no resources,” one source with knowledge of the company’s operations told Reuters.
This ‘pain’ for Rosneft may tip the scales in favor of Russia not agreeing to extend the current deep cuts through 2020 –

- The fourth Iranian fuel tanker has made its way into Venezuelan waters in a direct challenge to US sanctions on both countries. The first three tankers that Iran sent to Venezuela have already arrived and are in the process of unloading. The total deliveries from Iran to Venezuela are expected to be about 1.5 million barrels of gasoline and refining components that are critical to the nation’s oil industry survival. Venezuela has already nearly completely shut down all of its refineries, partly due to years and years of maintenance neglect and partly because it lacks the diluent to refine its ultra-heavy crude oil, which it used to import prior to the sanctions. There are five tankers total in the shipment from Iran. The lack of any response will play poorly against the Trump administration, ...

Venezuela: Staatsmonopol für Treibstoff aufgehoben – 200 Tankstellen privatisiert
Epoch Times31. Mai 2020 Aktualisiert: 31. Mai 2020 17:04
Angesichts der Krise in Venezuela hat die sozialistische Regierung ein Ende des Staatsmonopols für Treibstoff beschlossen. Das verkündete Staatschef Nicolás Maduro in einer Rede.
Angesichts der Krise in Venezuela hat die sozialistische Regierung zum 1. Juni eine Erhöhung der Benzinpreise und ein Ende des Staatsmonopols für Treibstoff beschlossen. „Wir haben entschieden, dass 200 Tankstellen dieses Produkt zum internationalen Preis verkaufen können“, ...
Der internationale Preis für Benzin sei mit 0,50 Dollar (0,45 Euro) festgelegt worden, führte Maduro aus. An wen die Lizenzen für die privat geführten Tankstellen gingen und ob es dazu ein Bieterverfahren gab, teilte der Präsident nicht mit.
Maduro kündigte zugleich ein Subventionssystem für weiterhin günstigeren Treibstoff an. Für ein Privatauto können demnach monatlich 120 Liter Benzin zum Literpreis von 5.000 Bolivar (0,023 Euro) gekauft werden, für Motorräder monatlich 60 Liter. Für den öffentlichen Verkehr soll der Treibstoff zu 100 Prozent subventioniert werden.

U.S. Regulators Probe Investor Risk Disclosure Of World’s Top Oil ETF
By Tsvetana Paraskova - May 29, 2020, 3:30 PM CDT
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are investigating the most popular exchange-traded fund tracking crude oil prices, the United States Oil Fund, to ascertain if the fund has managed to properly disclose to investors the risks, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing three sources familiar with the issue.
The United States Oil Fund LP (NYSEARCA: USO), one of the most popular oil-tracking ETFs for retail investors, was said to be one of the reasons for the historic plunge in May WTI Crude futures on April 20, a day before the May contract expired on April 21.

OPEC Compliance With Output Cuts Was Only 74% In May
By Julianne Geiger - May 29, 2020, 5:30 PM CDT
Not even a full month into OPEC’s deep production cut agreement, rumors have already surfaced that there is a difference of opinion over a possible extension of the oil production cuts—as usual, with Saudi Arabia on one side and Russia on the other.
But those discussions seem premature, given the latest Reuters survey that suggests that the cartel failed to fully comply with its agreed-upon quotas in May.
According to the survey data, Nigeria and Iraq did not live up to their commitments under the massive production cut deal that promised to take 9.7 million barrels of oil production per day out of the oversupplied market.
Overall, the survey showed the group cut just 5.91 million bpd from April levels, producing 24.77 million bpd. This is 4.48 million bpd of the promised reduction, or 74% compliant.
While some have suggested that the reason for OPEC’s failure to bring production down to promised levels is due to contractual obligations with buyers given the short timeframe between the date the agreement was made and its implementation, ...

The Oil Price War Has Put A $69 Billion Mega Deal At Risk
By Simon Watkins - May 20, 2020, 7:00 PM CDT
Even before the latest slew of announcements regarding the agreement by Saudi Arabia’s flagship oil and gas company, Aramco, to acquire a 70 percent stake in the Kingdom’s key petrochemicals company, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), for US$69.1 billion, from the country’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the ‘deal’ looked like a meaningless accounting trick that transfers money from one side of the Saudi balance sheet to another. It looked like that because that is what it is but it is much worse than that as well.
Over and above the rhetorical nonsense spouted by the various involved participants about value-enhancing ‘synergies’ between the two entities floats the stark fact that there are none at all. Aramco chief executive officer, Amin Nasser, has often stressed that he wants to position the company less as a straightforward crude oil extraction unit and more as a high-value-added developer of advanced petrochemical products.
However, Aramco buying a majority stake in SABIC, given Aramco’s existing downstream infrastructure, will lead to enormous duplication of resources – people, offices, equipment, research and development, marketing, and capital employed, amongst others. In addition, overlaying SABIC’s existing senior and middle management with those of Aramco, ...

COVID Crisis Could Unify World’s Largest Oil Companies
By Alex Kimani - May 21, 2020, 7:00 PM CDT
Sir Winston Churchill once admonished leaders to never let a good crisis go to waste. Wall Street banks and other large banks have been paying attention: They were shrewd enough to seize the opportunity presented by the last financial crisis to get hard-nosed government agencies to approve giant M&A deals they would otherwise have frowned upon.
The oil sector should take its cue from the banking sector and try out a little Churchillian wisdom.
Rob Cox, global correspondent for Reuters Breakingviews, seems to feel that is inevitable. He has told Reuters that the Covid-19 crisis could lead to merger mania in sectors like telecoms, auto, consumer goods, and energy.
But unlike the mid-cap energy mergers that had begun to break out before the crisis struck, Rob says tie-ups between giant producers like ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and BP(NYSE:BP) among others is now within the realm of possibility.
Cutting Costs
... Giant energy companies could use the cost-cutting gambit to justify mammoth deals that would otherwise fail to pass muster.
Under this backdrop, Exxon and Chevron might bandy together, and even throw in BP for good measure, to form the acronymous “ExChevBrit” whose combined market cap of $425 billion and reserve pool of ~70 billion barrels of oil equivalent would still pale in comparison to Saudi Aramco’s $1.6 trillion value and 270 billion Boe. ...

Iranian state TV has announced at least five least five Iranian-flagged tankers are transporting fuel to Venezuela through the Atlantic Ocean and plan to break the American blockade on the Latin American country.
Iran has warned that any US attempt at intercepting its fuel tankers "would have serious repercussions for the Trump administration ahead of the November elections."

A Record Fleet Of 117 Tankers Is Bringing Super Cheap Crude To China
by Tyler Durden

Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,
While the rest of the world is tentatively coming out of lockdowns, China is taking advantage of the cheapest crude oil in years to stock up as demand is starting to return in the world’s largest oil importer, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing tanker-tracking data it has compiled.
At present, a total of 117 very large crude carriers (VLCCs) – each capable of shipping 2 million barrels of oil – are traveling to China for unloading at its ports between the middle of May and the middle of August. If those supertankers transport standard-size crude oil cargoes, it could mean that China expects at least 230 million barrels of oil over the next three months, according to Bloomberg. The fleet en route to China could be the largest number of supertankers traveling to the world’s top oil importer at one time, ever, Bloomberg News’ Firat Kayakiran says. ...

Fragile Oil Markets Under Threat From 50 Million Barrels Of Saudi Crude

Some 50 million barrels of Saudi crude oil are approaching U.S. shores just as the Energy Information Administration reported the first inventory decline in months. This, according to Bloomberg, could reverse a tentative recovery in oil prices.
On Wednesday, the EIA reported that commercial crude oil inventories had declined by some 700,000 barrels in the week to May 8. The modest draw gave hope that the oil storage problem may soon begin to resolve itself even if total stockpiles were still above the five-year average for the season.
