  Germany’s Mukran LNG Terminal Reopens After Frozen Baltic Is Cleared
  Operations at the Mukran LNG terminal in Germany’s Baltic Sea have resumed following successful icebreaking operations to clear a navigable channel. The facility had been temporarily disrupted by heavy sea ice, preventing cargo ships from departing.Situated... Read more Operations at the Mukran LNG terminal in Germany’s Baltic Sea have resumed following successful icebreaking operations to clear a navigable channel. The facility had been temporarily disrupted by heavy sea ice, preventing cargo ships from departing.Situated on Ruegen island, the Mukran LNG terminal is operated by Deutsche ReGas, which has been utilizing floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) such as the Energos Power and Neptune. After a slow start, the terminal achieved record-high gas deliveries by the second quarter of 2025, becoming a top-performing terminal before facing the 2026 winter ice restrictions.
  
  The LNG terminal is a central part of Germany's strategy to replace Russian pipeline gas with LNG, with plans to expand capacity to 13.5 bcm/y, serving both Germany and the Czech Republic. Germany has largely managed to completely cut off direct pipeline imports of Russian natural gas by successfully building new LNG infrastructure.
  
  Europe’s largest economy now sources most of its natural gas from Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as small amounts of Russian gas through indirect, "hidden" routes. A 2024 study found that between 3% and 9% of Germany’s total gas imports still originated from Russia, arriving via pipelines from countries like Belgium.
  
  Germany is also a major buyer of U.S. LNG, accounting for more than 90% of its total LNG imports. However, the country is hardly an outlier: the U.S. has solidified its position as the primary LNG supplier to the EU, managing to increase its share from 24% in 2021 to 60% in 2025. That share is likely to grow again this year, with the U.S. expected to supply up to 65% of Europe's total LNG in 2026.
  
  Indeed, energy experts are now warning that Europe now risks creating a new energy dependency on the United States, with the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) projecting that the U.S. could account for up to 80% of the continent's LNG supply by 2030.

  Hungary Seeks Croatian Help As Russian Oil Flows Via Ukraine Halted

Read more Hungary and Slovakia have formally requested that Croatia authorize the transit of Russian crude oil via the Adriatic pipeline, following the complete suspension of oil flows through the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba pipeline, which has been out of service since January 27. The two countries seek to use the Adria pipeline (operated by the Croatian state-owned company Janaf), which connects the Croatian port of Omišalj to refineries in Hungary and Slovakia.
  
  According to Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, their EU sanctions exemption allows for maritime imports of Russian oil if pipeline deliveries are disrupted. Croatian appears willing to lend a helping hand, with Economy Minister Ante Šušnjar stressing that "no one should be left without fuel," provided the assistance complies with EU law and U.S. sanctions. Ukraine officials claim the shutdown was caused by Russian strikes on pipeline infrastructure just over two weeks ago.
  
  The attack occurred near the city of Brody, where the Druzhba pipeline connects with other infrastructure, with local officials reporting pollution from burning oil products. The incident follows a series of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure by Russia, as well as previous Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian section of the same pipeline.
  
  While Ukraine cites physical damage from Russian strikes, Hungarian and Slovakian officials say there are no technical reasons to stop oil flows, labeling the stoppage "political blackmail" and suggesting Ukraine is intentionally blocking the supply as a political maneuver following a stand-off regarding Hungary's stance on Ukraine's EU membership. The two have been vocal in their opposition to Ukraine joining the European Union, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán explicitly pledging to block the process, citing risks of bringing war into the bloc.
  
  The situation coincides with broader diplomatic activity in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest on Monday wherein Rubio explicitly backed Orbán’s bid for a fifth consecutive term in the upcoming April 12 elections, noting that President Donald Trump is "deeply committed" to Orbán's success. The two leaders oversaw the signing of a major U.S.-Hungary civil nuclear cooperation deal, which includes the potential purchase of American small modular reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fuel technology.

  Dangote Drives Nigeria’s Domestic Fuel Supply Above 57% as Imports Retreat
  Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery processed a record 40.1 million litres of crude per day in January, representing 57% of tthe otal supply and marking a 25% increase from 32 million litres in December 2025. The refinery now supplies 62% of the country’s Premium... Read more Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery processed a record 40.1 million litres of crude per day in January, representing 57% of tthe otal supply and marking a 25% increase from 32 million litres in December 2025. The refinery now supplies 62% of the country’s Premium Motor Spirit, overtaking fuel importers for the first time ever. The giant plant--the world's largest single-train refinery--finally reached full operational capacity at 650,000 bpd, marking an important milestone in Nigeria’s efforts to cut reliance on imported fuel.
  
  Located in Lekki, near Lagos, Nigeria, Dangote Refinery was officially commissioned on May 22, 2023, by former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and began production of diesel and aviation fuel in January 2024. Nigeria's total crude oil production for January 2026 was approximately 1.459 million barrels per day. The Dangote refinery has reached full capacity after completing the stabilization and optimization of its core units, specifically the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) and the Motor Spirit (MS) production block.
  
  The Dangote refinery has begun to ease fuel price pressures in Nigeria, cutting its ex-depot petrol price to about $0.50 per litre in February 2026, down from roughly $0.53 previously. Diesel prices were reduced to around $0.65 per litre, down from earlier levels of approximately $0.78 to $1.04. During the festive season, the refinery briefly lowered petrol prices to about $0.45 per litre before adjusting them back to roughly $0.52.
  
  Higher domestic output from the refinery is expected to curb Nigeria’s reliance on imported fuel. Projections indicate the country could save up to $10 billion annually in foreign exchange previously spent on fuel imports. The impact has been significant, with petrol imports falling by more than 54% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 as local supply increased.
  
  Beyond the domestic market, the refinery is also supplying refined products to other African countries. Diesel and jet fuel shipments have reached Ghana, Togo, and Cameroon, positioning the facility as a regional export hub and a key player in Nigeria’s fuel market.
  
  However, Aliko Dangote is not about to rest on his laurels and has initiated plans to expand the refinery's capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, which would further boost the economy through increased petrochemical production.

  Eni Makes Major Gas Discovery Offshore Ivory Coast

Eni has focused on... Read more Eni has made a major natural gas and condensate discovery offshore the Ivory Coast in Africa, in part of what is estimated to be the second largest discovery in the country after Baleine, the Italian energy major said on Monday.
  
  Eni has focused on exploration offshore Africa in recent years as it looks to boost its natural gas resources and farm out minority shares to other companies and investors to fast-track the development of the discoveries.
  
  In the latest discovery offshore Côte d'Ivoire, also known as Ivory Coast, Eni made a significant gas and condensate discovery after successfully drilling Murene South-1X, the first exploration well in Block CI-501.
  
  The discovery, named Calao South, confirms the potential of the Calao channel complex that includes also the Calao discovery. Calao is the second largest discovery in the country after Baleine, with estimated volumes of up to 5.0 Tcf of gas and 450 million barrels of condensate, or about 1.4 billion barrels of oil, Eni said.
  
  The exploration well Murene South-1X is just southwest of the Murene-1X discovery well in the adjacent CI-205 block.
  
  Block CI-501 is operated by Eni with a 90% stake in partnership with Petroci Holding with 10%.
  
  Currently, the Eni-operated Baleine field produces more than 62,000 barrels of oil and more than 75 million cubic feet of gas per day from Phases 1 and 2. With the launch of Phase 3, production is expected to rise to 150,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of gas per day, boosting Baleine’s role as a key asset in meeting Côte d’Ivoire’s domestic energy needs.
  
  Eni has been active in Côte d’Ivoire since 2015 and has interests in ten exploration blocks offshore the African country.
  
  In recent months, Eni has sold 30% in the Baleine oil and gas project to the world’s biggest independent oil trader, Vitol, and a 10% stake to SOCAR, the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Source: Oilprice.com

  Chevron-Led Joint Venture Signs Major Gas Exploration Deal Offshore Greece

Chevron, in partnership with Helleniq Energy, signed... Read more A Chevron-led consortium on Monday signed the lease contracts for oil and gas exploration offshore Greece as the southern European country aims to become a major gas supplier in the Mediterranean.
  
  Chevron, in partnership with Helleniq Energy, signed the lease agreements with Greece concerning the exploration of four offshore blocks south of Crete and the Peloponnese.
  
  Greece picked the consortium as the preferred bidder at the end of last year following a tender, and has now made Chevron’s entry official with the signing of the lease agreements.
  
  Chevron holds a 70% interest in the consortium and is the operator of the block leases while Helleniq Energy’s wholly-owned subsidiary holds a 30% interest.
  
  The four offshore blocks - South Crete 1, South Crete 2, South of Peloponnese, and Block A2 - cover a total area of approximately 47,000 square kilometers, or 18,147 square miles.
  
  The lease agreements have to be ratified by the Greek Parliament to come into effect.
  
  Under the terms of the lease deals, the Chevron- Helleniq joint venture will undertake a three-phase exploration program to help assess the hydrocarbon potential of the areas. The target areas lie in ultra-deepwater settings - some beyond 1,500 meters of sea depth - with complex geological structures, Helleniq said.
  
  With the signing of the lease agreements, Chevron joins the other U.S. supermajor, ExxonMobil, in gaining access to exploration access offshore Greece.
  
  In November 2025, ExxonMobil expanded its exploration portfolio offshore Greece with a new farm-in agreement for a block in the northwestern Ionian Sea.
  
  Energean, and Helleniq Energy reached a farm-in agreement under which the U.S. supermajor will buy 60% in the Block 2 concession in the northwestern Ionian Sea, next to the Italian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
  
  Energean will remain the operator of the concession during the exploration stage, but if the partners make a hydrocarbon discovery, ExxonMobil will assume operatorship during the development stage.
  
  Exploratory drilling is expected to begin in late 2026 or early 2027, provided that all necessary approvals and permits are obtained.
  
  Exxon and Chevron have snapped up exploration blocks offshore Greece in recent months, as the companies and Greece hope the offshore area could hold giant natural gas resources, similar to the ones discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean offshore Egypt and Israel. Source: Oilprice.com

  China Secures Record Russian Oil Imports as India Reduces Purchases
  China’s oil imports from Russia are on track for all-time high of over 2 million barrels per day in February as India is withdrawing from Russian spot purchases and supply is now heavily discounted for Chinese independent refiners. China is set... Read more China’s oil imports from Russia are on track for all-time high of over 2 million barrels per day in February as India is withdrawing from Russian spot purchases and supply is now heavily discounted for Chinese independent refiners.
  
  China is set to import 2.07-2.08 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil from Russia this month, according to data from Vortexa and Kpler cited by Reuters.
  
  The figure would be a new record high and significantly higher than the 1.7 million bpd estimated imports of Russian oil to China in January.
  
  The U.S. sanctions on Russian producers Rosneft and Lukoil, and the U.S. pressure on India to cut back, or as the White House wants, to halt, imports of Russian oil, have dragged discounts for Russian crudes to the widest in years.
  
  The flagship Russian grade Urals, which was previously flowing to India, is now priced at between $9 and $11 a barrel below benchmark ICE Brent for January/February deliveries to China, traders tell Reuters.
  Discounts widened further early this month after the U.S. and India reached a trade deal, in which lower U.S. tariffs for Indian goods are dependent upon India slashing its purchases of Russian oil.
  
  While India is looking to appease the U.S. Administration with lower spot purchases and state refiners suspend activity in Russian barrels, Chinese refiners have stepped in to gorge on the cheap crude.
  
  That’s especially true for the so-called teapots, the independent refiners in the Shandong province, which have not shied away from any sanctioned supplies in recent years, including cargoes from, Iran, Russia, or Maduro’s Venezuela.
  
  With Venezuelan sales now controlled by the United States and done via the top international traders Vitol and Trafigura, discounts of Venezuelan crude have narrowed relative to Brent. But the discounts have widened for Russia’s crude, which China’s independent refiners aren’t turning away.

  New Discovery Bolsters Equinor’s North Sea Production Future

Read more Equinor and its partners have made an oil and gas discovery in a prospect near the Gullfaks field in the northern part of Norway’s North Sea, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate said on Monday.
  
  Equinor, as operator of a production license, and its partners Petoro and OMV made the discovery in the Granat prospect near Gullfaks, 190 kilometres, o1 118 miles, northwest of Bergen.
  
  Preliminary estimates place the Granat discovery at between 1.3 and 3.8 million barrels of oil equivalent.
  
  The licensees will be now considering tying the discovery back to existing infrastructure in the Gullfaks area, said the Norwegian Offshore Directorate, the regulator of the oil industry in Western Europe’s top oil and gas producer.
  
  The so-called infrastructure-led exploration is a major part of Equinor’s efforts to find resources near existing fields with developed infrastructure to boost supply at low costs by tying new discoveries back to operating platforms and fields.
  
  Equinor plans to drill 20 to 30 exploration wells every year, the company said last month when it was awarded 35 new production licences on the Norwegian continental shelf in Norway’s tender for mature exploration areas.
  
  A total of 80% of the exploration will be near existing infrastructure, while 20% will explore new concepts and lesser-known areas, the Norwegian energy major said.
  
  “There is still a lot of energy left on the NCS, but we need new discoveries to curb the expected production decline,” commented Jez Averty, Equinor’s senior vice president for subsurface, the Norwegian continental shelf.
  
  “Phasing in oil and gas from new discoveries to existing infrastructure is a core task going forward,” Averty added.
  
  Despite the best exploration results in four years in 2025, Norway will need even more exploration and discoveries, as well as investment in new oil and gas projects, to reverse an expected decline in output from the late 2020s, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate said last month.

  Oil prices edge higher ahead of US–Iran nuclear talks

Read more Oil prices rose slightly on Monday, with investors weighing the market implications of upcoming U.S.-Iran talks aimed at de-escalating tensions against a backdrop of expected OPEC+ supply increases.
  Brent crude futures gained 41 cents, or 0.6%, to $68.16 a barrel by 1508 GMT.
  U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $63.32 a barrel, up 43 cents. The contract will have no settlement on Monday, the Presidents’ Day holiday in the United States.
  Fears of supply disruption from the U.S.-Iran tensions have helped keep oil prices stable, said PVM analyst Tamas Varga.
  Trading is set to be muted also with markets in China, South Korea and Taiwan closed for Lunar New Year holidays.
  Last week, both benchmarks posted weekly declines with Brent settling about 0.5% lower and WTI losing 1% after comments from U.S. President Donald Trump that Washington could make a deal with Tehran over the next month.
  The two countries are due to hold a second round of talks in Geneva on Tuesday over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
  In the run-up to the talks with Washington, mediated by Oman, Iran’s foreign minister met with the U.N. nuclear watchdog chief.
  Iran is pursuing a nuclear agreement with the U.S. that delivers economic benefits for both sides, with energy and mining investments and aircraft purchases up for discussion, an Iranian diplomat was reported as saying.
  
  The U.S. is preparing for the possibility of a sustained military campaign if the talks do not succeed, U.S. officials have told Reuters. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned that in case of strikes on Iranian territory, they could retaliate against any U.S. military base.
  "Increased Iranian tension could drive Brent to $80 a barrel. Fading tension would drop it back to $60 a barrel," SEB analysts said in a note.
  With U.S.-Iran tensions pushing up oil prices, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies - together called OPEC+ - are putting a dampener on this bullishness by leaning toward a decision to resume output increases from April at their March 1 meeting following a three-month halt, Reuters reported.
  Meanwhile, China’s Russian oil imports are set to climb for a third straight month to a new record in February after India slashed purchases on the back of U.S. pressure, according to traders and ship-tracking data. Source: Reuters/Investing.com
