  Oil prices slide amid upbeat Mideast supply data, G7 stockpile release pledge

  By 09:31 ET (13:31 GMT), benchmark Brent crude futures had fallen by 2.4% to $97.89 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures had declined by 1.8% to $87.76 a barrel.
  
  Gulf oil exporters managed to surpass pre-war levels for roughly half of September, according to shipping data cited by Reuters. Kpler data showed the seven-day moving average for crude exports from the region stood at 18.3 million barrels per day on September 30, with volumes exceeding levels before the start of the Iran war in late February for 14 days last month.
  
  Hopes have been growing that crude supplies could be making their way out of the Gulf, despite the near-constant threat of attacks on tankers and other commercial vessels.
  
  Iran moved to all but shutter the Strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of the war, cutting off a vital waterway through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas flowed before the fighting began. The conflict has since expanded into other parts of the Gulf, including to Yemen, where Iran-backed Houthi militants and Saudi-aligned government forces are grappling for control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, another critical shipping conduit.
  
  Meanwhile, media reports on Monday that Saudi Arabia’s east-west pipeline was once again targeted -- albeit not disrupted -- served as a "reminder that flows remain at risk," analysts at ING said in a note.
  
  The Wall Street Journal, citing Kpler data, suggested that while exporters may be ferrying more crude through the Gulf thanks to alternative routes and logistical adjustments, cargoes of oil products like gasoline and diesel remain muted due in part to damaged regional refineries. This has kept supplies tight, pushing up the global prices of these critical fuel sources.
  
  Central banks have been closely monitoring energy prices as they attempt to calibrate interest rates over the rest of the year. Faced with the prospect of a prolonged jump in fuel costs driving inflation, policymakers are widely anticipated to lift borrowing costs over the coming months.
  
  Still, a recent promise by G7 countries to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude from emergency reserves has soothed some of these fears. These nations have also agreed to refrain from energy export restrictions, responding to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Source: Investing.com

Read more German shipping firm Hapag-Lloyd has bunkered one of its dual-fuel vessels with an unspecified quantity of bio-methanol at the Port of Busan in South Korea.
  
  The methanol-capable container ship Seaspan Amazon received the stem while simultaneously unloading cargo at the port.
  
  The bio-methanol was produced at Chinese renewable energy firm Goldwind’s facility in Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia. Hapag-Lloyd did not disclose the physical supplier that delivered the fuel in Busan.
  
  The bunkering operation forms part of a long-term supply agreement Hapag-Lloyd signed with Goldwind in 2024. Under the deal, Goldwind is expected to supply 250,000 mt/year of a blend of bio- and e-methanol from the end of 2027.
  
  By securing an early delivery under the agreement, the companies have gained operational experience with fuel handling.
  
  Goldwind expects the plant’s total production capacity to reach 1.45 million mt/year by 2027, according to Chinese media outlet Caixin.
  
  The producer has also signed a long-term agreement to supply Danish shipping firm A.P. Moller-Maersk with 500,000 mt/year of bio-methanol. Source: ENGIИE

Read more The fourth LNG storage tank at Gate Terminal on Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam has been completed and commissioned, adding 180,000 cbm of storage capacity.
  
  The expansion takes Gate Terminal’s total LNG throughput capacity to 20 billion cbm/year. Gate is jointly owned by gas infrastructure companies Gasunie and Vopak.
  
  The Port of Rotterdam Authority is also constructing a fourth jetty at the terminal, expected to begin small-scale ship loading and LNG bunkering operations by the end of 2028. Gate is assessing the potential construction of a fifth jetty based on market demand.
  
  The expanded terminal will strengthen Rotterdam’s ability to receive LNG from multiple global sources, including the US, Norway and the Middle East.
  
  Gate serves as an LNG hub, with imported cargoes either reloaded onto smaller tankers for re-export, converted to gas and supplied to Europe’s pipeline network, or transported by truck to smaller, standalone gas networks across Europe. LNG is also supplied as a marine fuel to vessels calling at the Port of Rotterdam.
  
  The terminal supports both LNG import and re-export, as well as loading operations for bunker vessels and LNG trucks. Source: ENGIИE

  Oil prices slip as traders weigh strong Mideast exports against Gulf tensions

Read more Oil prices down on Tuesday as resilient Middle Eastern crude exports and a G7 emergency stockpile release eased supply concerns, though attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on Saudi targets kept traders wary of risks to Gulf supplies.
  
  Brent crude futures lost 4 cents to $100.28 a barrel by 0003 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 11 cents, or 0.1%, to $89.33 a barrel.
  
  "Oil is little changed after yesterday’s decline as traders continue to digest a modest easing in supply-side anxiety," said KCM Trade chief analyst Tim Waterer.
  
  "The pickup in Saudi export numbers and the G7 decision to release strategic reserves are helping keep a lid on prices for now, even while Brent remains anchored around the $100 level," he said.
  
  Crude exports from the Middle East exceeded pre-war levels on four days during the last week of September, shipping data showed on Monday, underscoring the resilience of regional oil flows despite attacks on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Further easing supply concerns, G7 countries agreed on Friday to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude from emergency reserves and pledged to refrain from energy export restrictions after pressure from US President Donald Trump.
  
  However, the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen continued to fuel concerns over potential disruptions to supply from the region’s largest oil exporter amid a stalemate in US-Iran talks.
  
  Yemen’s Houthis said on Monday they had carried out attacks on several sites in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an Aramco refinery in Rabigh and Abha airport. There was no immediate Saudi confirmation.
  
  Without a clear diplomatic breakthrough or a further material improvement in export efficiency, the floor under prices looks reasonably firm, Waterer said. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Europe Weighs Methane Rule Delay as Energy Supply Risks Mount
  The European Union’s so-called methane rule is scheduled to enter into effect in January. The rule is massively unpopular among large energy exporters, and these exporters have a lot more options in terms of buyers than the EU has in terms of suppliers.... Read more The European Union’s so-called methane rule is scheduled to enter into effect in January. The rule is massively unpopular among large energy exporters, and these exporters have a lot more options in terms of buyers than the EU has in terms of suppliers. It would have to either axe the rule or face a further squeeze in oil and gas.
  
  Some in Brussels are aware of that, with Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen last week telling media that a delay was being considered for the implementation of the methane regulation in order to ensure sufficient supply of energy commodities.
  
  “I have instructed my services to look into the possibilities of postponing the import part of the legislation with one year,” Jorgensen told Bloomberg. “And this would give the market actors time to make sure that they can indeed implement these new rules without it hurting our security of supply and prices.”
  
  Two of the largest oil and gas suppliers to the European Union have argued repeatedly that the methane regulation would hurt both the security of supply and prices. The United States and Qatar have on several occasions explained that asking oil and gas producers to track and report methane emissions along the supply chain of every hydrocarbon molecule that eventually gets sold to an EU buyer was impossible to do. Qatar said directly it would stop selling LNG to members of the European Union. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright suggested the regulation would hurt bilateral trade.

  As fate and geopolitics would have it, Qatar has indeed stopped selling liquefied gas to the European Union for reasons unrelated to the methane rule, so the United States is selling more LNG to European buyers than ever. Yet the methane regulation could change that, and it can change it smack in the middle of winter, in what is the coldest month of the year for many European countries.
  
  Essentially, the methane rule requires energy exporters to the European Union to track, measure, and report its methane emissions—and verify this information. EU energy companies have been subject to the same regulation since 2024, Wood Mackenzie noted in a recent article. Now, the EU wants to expand that to foreign suppliers—but it lacks the mechanism to do it effectively.
  
  Commenting on the upcoming date for the methane rule’s entry into effect, Wood Mac carbon expert Valentina Kretzschmar noted that “most oil and gas exporting countries outside Europe are simply not ready to meet the EU equivalence within the timeframe,” due to the lack of details, especially regarding verification of the emissions data that is supposed to be reported to the EU authorities.
  
  “Verification is a critical part of the jigsaw, but it’s currently missing,” the WoodMac article stated. In other words, the EU is asking oil and gas sellers to its member states to verify their methane emissions data but does not say how this verification should be done. Further, “No agency is yet accredited to verify methane measurement and reporting of production outside the EU. Importers have stated they are unwilling to accept non-compliance due to potential legal, commercial and reputational risks.”
  
  The situation appears to be complicated and fraught with uncertainties, and all this is taking place at a time when complications and uncertainties are the last things anyone in power in the European Union needs. With fuel prices running at record highs and gas prices above 70 euro per MWh, further price-raising factors are really not what the EU should be doing.
  
  Suggestions from Brussels for handling the methane reporting situation so far have included the proposal to delay the imposition of penalties on those who violate the regulation. However, this does not mean they do not have to report their emissions, and energy exporters do not want to have to do this.
  
  In a worst-case scenario, European energy buyers could see a shortfall as cargoes of crude and LNG from the United States divert to Asia come January because the producers of the crude and the LNG have not counted their emissions.
  
  In a best-case scenario, the whole methane rule would be scrapped or at least delayed in its entirety until such time as the EU leadership finds a way to verify the emissions data in a way that satisfies both its climate agenda and the agendas of the oil and gas producers that would be getting verified.
  
  There is, however, a small detail when it comes to producers. In the current market environment, producers can choose who to sell their oil and gas to, while buyers have less choice. This means that if, say, Venture Global decides to sell its LNG to India instead of Germany, there is nothing Germany can do about it. It might be worth considering this fact when making plans for the methane regulation in the context of energy security. Source: Oilprice.com
