PetroChina is considering selling part of its ownership in LNG Canada so it can fund an expansion that will produce and export more LNG as global demand continues to grow.
This is the AD-300, ADNOC Drilling’s first AI-enabled, fully automated walking island rig, unveiled in June 2026. It is a next-generation offshore drilling rig that:
Stands 50 meters (164 ft) tall.
Weighs approximately 2,000 tonnes.
Can “walk” between well locations on artificial islands without being dismantled.
Uses AI, automated pipe handling, robotics, digital monitoring, and hybrid power to improve safety and efficiency.
Iran has said “no” to Oman’s proposal for how the Strait of Hormuz should be managed. The dispute isn’t over yet. Iran wants more authority over one of the world’s most important oil shipping lanes, and until an agreement is reached, the global energy market remains on edge.
Iran has said “no” to Oman’s proposal for how the Strait of Hormuz should be managed. Instead of sharing management equally, Iran wants greater control over the shipping routes, saying it is necessary for its national security. Iran also warned that if its proposal is rejected, the Strait could remain closed or heavily restricted.
Oil prices surged 4% as tensions escalated in the Middle East. Iran reportedly attacked Jordan, while the US and Saudi Arabia struck Iran-backed Iraqi militias after attacks on Saudi Aramco. Markets fear disruptions to global oil supply.
Because the Strait of Hormuz is surrounded by geopolitical tensions, it is much harder to build lasting international cooperation. A voluntary fee has no legal enforcement, so many ships may not participate. The Strait of Malacca works because neighboring countries cooperate closely and have a stable, long-term framework.
@TotalEnergies is challenging a French court’s decision because it believes it should not be legally responsible under a particular law for its contribution to climate change.
Venture Global has hired Baker Hughes to provide the main machines and technology needed to turn natural gas into LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) at its new CP2 LNG plant in Louisiana.
Baker Hughes will provide 6 liquefaction blocks serving 12 liquefaction modules that will convert natural gas into LNG.
U.S. Department of Energy approves Argent LNG exports
This is a regulatory approval, not the start of exports.
The U.S. government is simply telling Argent LNG If you build this LNG terminal and meet all other requirements, you are allowed to export LNG for the next 20 years.
Oil prices trade below $90/barrel after trading above $100 just a week earlier. This is because US President Donald Trump decided to pause major military strikes against Iran over the weekend.
