Read more European diesel refining margins increased more than 8% on Monday following last week’s sharp drops as market participants waited for details on how Group of Seven countries will implement the release of fuel from emergency reserves.
  
  Low-sulphur gasoil futures traded at $73.26 a barrel above Brent crude futures at 1546 GMT, up $5.64 from the previous close.
  
  The chief executive of Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL:2222) said Monday that the pressure on crude oil and refined fuels will intensify, and refilling global stockpiles drawn as an emergency measure could take up to two years.
  
  An EU Commission spokesperson said Monday that the G7 decision to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves will positively affect oil prices for EU member states.
  
  BP (LON:BP) has modified its refineries to shift focus from jet fuel to diesel production, Chief Executive Officer Meg O’Neill said at the Energy Intelligence conference in London on Monday.

  Oil market turmoil could last for years, executives say

Following the start of the US-Israeli... Read more Shipping bottlenecks, deep cuts in refinery output and inventory draws that could take years to replace will keep global oil prices high beyond this year, industry executives said at a conference in London on Monday.
  
  Following the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran at the end of February, Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, choking exports through one of the world’s most crucial shipping bottlenecks.
  
  The impact has been compounded by attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, hampering production and adding to the disruption of exports of crude oil and refined fuels.
  
  "I think it is going to be bedlam for the bulk of the end of the year and maybe 2027," Petronas CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik said.
  
  In his first conference address since the start of the Iran war, Amin Nasser, chief executive of the world’s biggest oil company Saudi Aramco, told the Energy Intelligence Forum in London it could take up to two years to refill global stockpiles drawn on as an emergency measure.
  
  "Until Hormuz fully re-opens and confidence returns, the crude reality is that pressure at both ends of the barrel will intensify. Even then, replenishing inventories while meeting demand could take up to two years," he said. Both ends of the barrel refers to unrefined crude and refined products, such as diesel and jet fuel
  
  He added that 3 billion barrels have been lost since the start of the conflict, and 1 billion barrels have been withdrawn from global inventories.
  
  SIX MILLION BPD FUEL IS MISSING
  
  Kuwait Petroleum Corporation CEO Shaikh Nawaf Al-Sabah said the focus was on moving more refined fuels to global markets and restoring Middle East refineries to full production as the impact of the Iran war has left the world with a shortfall of 6 million barrels per day of refined products.
  
  "There is not enough refining capacity in world to make up for shuttered capacity in Middle East Gulf," Shaikh Nawaf said.
  
  Kuwait’s crude oil exports have held up at around 1 million bpd this year despite the war-related disruptions, even as production has fallen from around 2.6 million bpd to 2 million bpd, Al-Sabah told the conference.
  
  DEMAND RECOVERY BEYOND NEXT YEAR
  
  ConocoPhillips’ Executive Chair Ryan Lance said it could be 2028 or 2029 before global oil demand recovers from dipping this year due to the current crisis, but added it would grow after that.
  
  The oil price floor for US benchmark WTI crude will rise to around $70 per barrel, Lance said, with a mid-cycle price of $65 to $70 per barrel.
  
  Should prices remain strong, US oil production could exceed 14 million to 14.5 million barrels per day, he said. He did not specify what he meant by strong.
  
  Brent crude futures traded just above $100 per barrel on Monday, while WTI was close to $90 per barrel.

  Virtual testing targets ammonia leaks on ships

Read more Classification society ABS, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) and engineering firm Siemens have agreed to develop digital twin technology to assess ammonia leak risks on ships.
  
  The companies will combine virtual replicas of ships and their systems, known as digital twins, with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate how ammonia could spread following a leak.
  
  CFD is a way to digitally simulate and predict how liquids and gases move. In this case, it can show where leaked ammonia is likely to travel and how it could disperse around different parts of a vessel.
  
  Ammonia’s toxicity makes accidental leaks a key safety concern for its use as a marine fuel. ABS said the technology could help mitigate that risk by testing different leak and accident scenarios early in the vessel’s design process.
  
  “By pairing CFD analysis with digital twin technology, this project gives designers a faster, more rigorous way to understand leak behavior,” Patrick Ryan, chief technology officer at ABS said.
  
  HD KSOE will develop ammonia safety systems and lead the testing.
  
  Siemens will provide simulation analysis and digital twin technology, and ABS will develop the safety assessment methodology based on it. Source: ENGIИE

Read more Oil prices fell in Asian trading on Monday as rising crude exports from the Middle East and a planned release of emergency oil stocks by Group of Seven nations eased some immediate supply concerns, although heightened geopolitical tensions limited losses.
  
  As of 21:51 ET (01:51 GMT), Brent Oil Futures expiring in December fell 0.7% to $101.58 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for Nov slipped 1.1% to $90.14 per barrel.

  The G7 agreed on Friday to release 100 million barrels of crude and fuel products from emergency reserves, with a substantial portion of diesel to be released within 20 days.
  
  The move came as governments sought to cushion energy markets from supply disruptions caused by the war involving Iran.
  
  Meanwhile, Middle Eastern crude exports rose above pre-war levels on four days during the final week of September, reports said, citing Kpler data.
  
  Exports reached between 19.5 million and 22.5 million barrels per day on Sept. 24 and between Sept. 27 and 29, while the seven-day moving average stood at 18.5 million bpd on Oct. 1, above the pre-war average of 18 million bpd.
  
  The recovery has been helped by increased flows through the Strait of Hormuz and alternative export routes, although shipping remains risky.
  
  The supply picture remains complicated by continued attacks in the region.
  
  Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said they launched missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and the Khurais area in response to Saudi-led strikes in Yemen. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the attacks.
  
  Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL:2222) also unexpectedly cut its November Arab Light official selling price to Asia by $3 a barrel to a discount of $5 to the Oman-Dubai average, the widest discount since June 2020, as it seeks to defend market share amid higher freight costs.
  
  Adding another layer to the market outlook, OPEC+ agreed to keep November production targets unchanged. The group said its next meeting would be held on Nov. 1. Source: Investing.com

  Could White Hydrogen Succeed Where Green Hydrogen Stumbled?

Read more The green hydrogen hype has all but stalled out – but could white hydrogen take its place as the next big thing in decarbonization? Geologic hydrogen, so-called ‘white’ hydrogen, could potentially bypass the most critical barriers to scaling hydrogen use without significantly expanding the sector’s carbon footprint. While the technology is still nascent, it could one day decarbonize some of the world’s hardest-to-abate industrial sectors.
  
  This form of hydrogen involves sourcing naturally occurring hydrogen found in rocks and other deposits in the Earth’s crust. “The potential is massive,” Pierre Levin, chief executive of Canadian geologic hydrogen startup Vema, told the New York Times earlier this year. “You can find rocks like this all over the world, enough to produce billions of tons of hydrogen.”
  
  Hydrogen is extremely useful in traditionally emissions-intensive sectors like steelmaking and transportation because, like thermal or coking coal and heavy fuel oil, hydrogen can be combusted at high heat for use in industrial processes. But unlike those notoriously dirty fuel sources, hydrogen leaves behind nothing but water vapor when combusted. The problem is that most hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels, thereby negating its efficacy as a decarbonization tool.
  
  In answer to this problem, ‘green’ hydrogen, which is made using only clean and renewable energy resources, has been promoted as a potential decarbonization game-changer for years now. Yet, as of 2023, less than one tenth of planned green hydrogen projects were actually realized. More specifically, “only 7% of global capacity announcements finished on schedule,” according to a paper called “The green hydrogen ambition and implementation gap”, published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Energy last year.
  
  There are a few reasons for this – first and foremost, the numbers just aren’t adding up. Green hydrogen has remained expensive and unable to compete with other fuels. Second, it often isn’t even the best option for decarbonization pathways. Frequently, the clean energy required for green hydrogen production would be more efficiently consumed directly.
  
  This is where so-called ‘white’ hydrogen could come in handy. Existing underground resources of natural hydrogen are vast and totally untapped. Recent research from scientists at the University of Oxford, Durham University and the University of Toronto estimates that hydrogen generated in the Earth’s continental crust over geological time contains energy equivalent to roughly 170,000 years of present-day global oil consumption, though it remains unclear how much has accumulated in recoverable deposits.
  
  “Combining the ingredients to find accumulated hydrogen in any of these settings can be likened to cooking a soufflé – get any one of the ingredients, amounts, timing, or temperature wrong and you will be disappointed,” says Oxford study lead author Chris Ballentine. “One successful exploration recipe that is repeatable will unlock a commercially competitive, low-carbon hydrogen source that would significantly contribute to the energy transition – we have the right experience to combine these ingredients and find that recipe.”
  
  Indeed, extracting and purifying the hydrogen found in the Earth’s crust in a way that is both environmentally friendly and economically efficient requires a complex web of factors. Geologists are seeking to discover a whole system to extract hydrogen, “featuring a production source, migration pathways, reservoir formation, and potentially geological traps capable of accumulating large quantities of H2 over the long term,” as explained by a brand new report from Futura. “It’s only once we fully understand how this system works, which has similarities to but also fundamental differences from oil systems, that large-scale industrial exploitation can be considered.”
  
  But an increasing number of startups are trying to perfect this recipe faster than all the others to unlock this vast resource in a commercially viable manner. From Europe to the Philippines, it's only a matter of time before the world’s first geologic hydrogen hotspot breaks through. Source: Oilprice.com
