In Britain, “there is an exciting vision of energy security and abundance from cheap, homegrown low-carbon power,” Energy Secretary Ed Miliband enthused in his opening address. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol hailed the “remarkable” ascent of renewables, which last year accounted for 85% of new power generation globally.
Total petroleum stocks – including crude oil, total motor gasoline, fuel ethanol, kerosene type jet fuel, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, propane/propylene, and other oils – stood at 1.605 billion barrels on April 18, the report showed. Total petroleum stocks were down 0.3 million barrels week on week and up 5.9 million barrels year on year, the report revealed.
Oil rose as the potential for the U.S. to curtail Iranian flows added to a rebound driven by broader markets.
West Texas Intermediate advanced about 2% to settle near $64 a barrel, recouping most of the previous day’s losses, which were driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s public rebuke of the Federal Reserve.
TotalEnergies has commenced production from the Ballymore deepwater field in the US Gulf of Mexico, the company said on Monday.
The company holds a 40% stake in the project alongside Chevron as operator with 60%.
Located 120 kilometres off Louisiana’s coast, the Ballymore field ties back to Chevron’s Blind Faith floating production unit. It has a daily gross production capacity of 75,000 bopd and 50 mcf (1.4 mcm) of gas. The project, launched in May 2022, uses existing infrastructure and standardised equipment to minimise development costs and emissions.
Crude oil in the SPR stood at 397.0 million barrels on April 11, 396.7 million barrels on April 4, and 364.9 million barrels on April 12, 2024, the report revealed. Total petroleum stocks – including crude oil, total motor gasoline, fuel ethanol, kerosene type jet fuel, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, propane/propylene, and other oils – stood at 1.605 billion barrels on April 11, the report highlighted. Total petroleum stocks were down 1.8 million barrels week on week and up 3.2 million barrels year on year, the report outlined.
The project involves the transportation and installation of a floating production system (FPS) at Garden Banks block 959, which is located off the southeastern coast of Louisiana at water depths of up to 1,635 meters.
In its latest weekly petroleum status report at the time of writing, which was released on March 26 and included data for the week ending March 21, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) highlighted that U.S. commercial crude oil inventories, excluding those in the SPR, decreased by 3.3 million barrels from the week ending March 14 to the week ending March 21.

Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, the United States was the world’s largest importer of energy, guzzling down foreign oil and gas like a frat boy at a kegger. But the script has since flipped. Thanks to the shale revolution and a penchant for hydraulic fracturing (fracking), the U.S. has transformed from energy junkie to pusher, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) as its hottest commodity.
The United Arab Emirates’ biggest oil company is seeking to buy its first natural gas producing fields in the US to deepen its presence in the country, according to people familiar with the matter.
