The Nederland/Beaumont crude oil hub has been somewhat overshadowed recently by other Gulf Coast crude export hubs despite hosting America’s largest refinery and pipeline links to the prolific Permian Basin. But while plans to build one or more deepwater crude export terminals could mean big changes for the Gulf Coast hubs, the Nederland/Beaumont area isn’t standing still. In today’s blog, we discuss what’s ahead for the Nederland/Beaumont region and its emergence as a leader in NGL exports. https://t.co/dtZneTOl5X
#Crudeoil output in the Permian is now averaging 6.3 MMb/d, up about 400 Mb/d from year-ago levels and 800 Mb/d from April 2022. The gains — and related increases in associated gas — have spurred a new round of concerns about pipeline exit capacity, complicating drillers’ hopes to boost crude production. In today’s RBN blog, we will discuss the takeaway capacity issue and what it means for producers and pipeline operators, including those planning offshore crude export terminals. https://t.co/dW6GYVc45k
Two passages long regarded as essential shortcuts in the world of commodity shipping have become a lot more challenging to navigate. Transiting the Red Sea has turned potentially deadly because of geopolitical tensions, while severe drought has reduced operations at the Panama Canal. Combined, these issues are being felt across all commodity sectors. In today's blog, we’ll examine the extra time and costs that shippers of U.S. crude and refined products must bear when using alternatives. https://t.co/3eOkrFxAAo

Another interesting tidbit highlighted by @vtobben is that the UST is using Russia’s own estimates for the price of production — $44 per barrel of oil — as a rough guide for how to structure the cap. The G7 wants to set the price *slightly above* the price of production.
