Last year was a turning point for battery storage in the Middle East, with a wave of new projects announced across the region.

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Battery storage is growing at record speed, with 2025 additions 40% higher than in 2024

From balancing grids to shifting solar power across the day, storage is emerging as a versatile tool for modern day power systems around the world

Less oil, more money. Saudi oil export revenues increased to $24.7bn in March - their highest level since October 2022, @Stats_Saudi data shows.

Higher prices more than offset reduced volumes #OOTT

Adnoc CEO says it will take at least 4 months for 80% of pre-conflict oil flows to return, even if Hormuz re-opens tomorrow. For full flows to return? That's Q1 or even Q2 next year #OOTT #ACFrontPage @AtlanticCouncil

Saudi Ports Authority Mawani has launched the "Red Sea Express" shipping service at King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu, to speed up cargo handling, cut waiting times, and boost logistics efficiency at the port, Saudi state media reported on Tuesday.

The service links the ports of Jeddah, Yanbu, Ain Sokhna in Egypt, and Aqaba in Jordan

Very appreciative of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (@OxfordEnergy)for the invitation to discuss oil markets with Bassam Fattouh and Paul Horsnell, two of the most knowledgeable oil market analysts I know. See the link to the podcast below.

The podcast examined the fallout in oil markets from the conflict between the US and Iran and the resulting closure of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Among the topics discussed are the scale of the disruption to oil flows and its implications, why futures prices appeared disconnected from physical prices in the early stages of the conflict, the drivers behind the collapse in futures open interest, the outlook for long-dated oil prices, and how shifting refinery demand and trade flows — particularly towards US barrels — have influenced the relative pricing of the Brent and Dubai benchmarks. The discussion concludes with the outlook for the global oil balance and its key components in 2027.

Sanctions relief for China is, in effect, sanctions relief for Iran.

The agreement also explores potential crude storage in Fujairah as part of India’s strategic petroleum reserve.

This would be a first for the UAE, although plenty of private firms have storage tanks at Fujairah.

The expansion of Gulf producers' overseas storage facilities begins.
@ADNOCGroup examines increasing crude oil storage in India up to 30 million barrels, including existing storage at Mangalore and potential new storage opportunities at Vishakhapatnam and Chandikol. #OOTT

[Dr. Sultan Al Jaber @SultanAlJaber]

The UAE will always be a reliable partner for India’s economic growth.
Alongside His Highness @MohamedBinZayed and Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi, I was pleased to exchange two strategic agreements on behalf of @ADNOCGroup to deepen collaboration with our Indian partners.

From crude oil and gas to storage and strategic reserves, these agreements will contribute to India’s energy security, powering industries, supporting jobs and advancing sustainable development.
