A widespread myth in energy circles is that U.S. refineries are “unable” to process the light, sweet crude produced by the shale boom. The claim tends to surface whenever gasoline prices rise or energy independence becomes a talking point. The argument is usually that the U.S. is producing record volumes of oil, yet still imports crude because its refineries were built for heavier foreign barrels. It’s a compelling narrative, but it’s mostly wrong. U.S. refineries can and do process shale crude every day. The issue isn’t…

The AI explosion is causing demand for energy to skyrocket around the world. The projections for the future of energy use by data centers are staggering, and the private and public sectors alike are rushing to get ahead of the issue. While Big Tech has thrown a lot of money – and a lot of PR – into expanding the development of current and next gen renewables to meet their ballooning energy needs, the tech sector is causing a lot of fossil fuels expansion, too, casting doubt on previously charted decarbonization timelines. Take Google,…

President Trump has floated the prospect of a “joint venture” with the Iranian leadership on administering a tax on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in a new peace deal for the region. Trump said both the US and Iran could jointly tax ships passing through the stretch of water, which is critical for around a fifth of global crude oil supplies, with negotiations developing at a fast pace following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire. He told ABC News that it would be a “beautiful thing” for the two countries…

Mexico is considering a return to fracking as it looks to cut its heavy reliance on U.S. natural gas imports. President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government is evaluating the development of non-conventional gas resources, including shale, as the country continues to import the bulk of its supply. Mexico consumes roughly 9 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, but produces just 2.3 billion cubic feet domestically. The rest—about 75% to 80%—comes from the United States, primarily Texas. That dependence is becoming harder to ignore.…

The two-week US-Iran ceasefire announced overnight has taken the panic premium out of oil – but not the full risk premium. Prices are not snapping back to pre-war levels due to the scale of disruption and backlog-clearing mechanisms that will take some time to normalize. Futures have moved and, as a result, Rystad Energy has reduced its average Brent price from $97 to average $87 for 2026. However, the tightness in the physical barrels is unlikely to be cleared anytime soon. Oil plunged below US$100 per barrel after the US and Iran agreed…
