  Oil heads for weekly gain with focus on Middle East supply

What... Read more Oil prices steadied on Friday and were heading for weekly gains on uncertainty over Middle East supplies and a larger-than-expected draw from US crude stockpiles, while European diesel margins dropped after an IEA move to release more of the fuel.
  
  What explains the divergence between oil prices and diesel margins?
  Brent crude futures were up 36 cents, or 0.34%, at $106.28 a barrel at 1107 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were down 19 cents, or 0.19%, to $97.78.
  
  "The relative stability reflects a market caught between persistent supply disruption risks in the Middle East, where attacks on ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz continue to underpin prices," said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen.
  
  WTI settled up more than 3% on Thursday after a big US crude stock draw on hurricane production shut-ins.
  
  So far this week, Brent has risen 1.4% and WTI 6.4%.
  
  "The IEA’s pledge to release the remaining 100 million barrels under its March agreement, together with reports that the US is considering easing sanctions on some dark fleet tankers, may be weighing slightly on sentiment," Hansen said, adding that the International Energy Agency release is unlikely to ease diesel supply tightness.
  
  IRAN SAYS IT IS STEPPING UP STRIKES
  
  Supply concerns also increased as attacks around the Strait of Hormuz surged over the past 10 days, with Iran saying it was stepping up strikes in response to the US blockade of its ports and tougher sanctions introduced last month.
  
  European diesel refining margins fell by nearly 2% on Friday to $78.67 a barrel, after the IEA agreed on Thursday to release more than 20 million barrels of the fuel to the market.
  
  Those margins rose as high as $95 a barrel in September as diesel supply tightened because of wars in Ukraine and Iran.
  
  "Intensified Iranian attacks drove Gulf crude flows sharply lower," Kpler analysts said in a report on Thursday, adding that they expected a slower and more uneven recovery in Hormuz flows in the absence of a comprehensive political deal.
  
  Washington is considering lifting sanctions on some so-called shadow fleet vessels that have carried oil and petroleum products from countries such as Russia, Iran and Venezuela, in a bid to cut record global freight rates.
  
  The discussions come days after US President Donald Trump temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel fuel, a move met with criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, European countries and some of Trump’s fellow Republicans.

  The Week in Alt Fuels: Building the bunker menu

Read more Bunkering activity came in many flavours this week, with biofuels, LNG, LBM, methanol, ethanol and ammonia featuring across several major ports – and sometimes with multiple fuels at the same port.
  
  China's Ningbo-Zhoushan port offered perhaps the clearest illustration of this variety.
  
  On 30 September, three bunker vessels supplied LNG, methanol and B24 biofuel to different ships at three terminals on the same day. It was the first time three different marine fuels had been supplied on the same day at the port, according to the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration. The names of the receiving vessels and fuel suppliers were not disclosed.
  
  The volumes were substantial. Around 3,300 mt of LNG, 7,500 mt of methanol and 3,000 mt of B24 were delivered across the port.
  
  Ammonia bunkering also took place in China in the past week. Belgian shipping company CMB.TECH’s first ammonia-capable bulk carrier, Mineral Europa, was bunkered with 1,000 mt of green ammonia in a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer at Zhoushan. The operation was carried out by the ammonia bunker vesselShenghang Yongle.
  
  Singapore also had a busy week on the alternative fuels front.
  
  Bunker supplier Golden Island is set to deliver bio-ethanol at Pasir Panjang Terminal in an operation involving shipping company Maersk and terminal operator PSA Singapore.
  
  French shipping company CMA CGM partnered with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Singapore LNG (SLNG) to explore LBM bunkering. The agreement follows Shell’s recent import of mass-balanced LBM into Singapore and the arrival of its chartered LNG bunker vessel Macoma at the SLNG terminal.
  
  The MPA also introduced new technical guidelines for ammonia bunkering at the port, covering custody transfer, bunkering procedures, safety measures and crew training.
  
  Vitol Bunkers is preparing to enter the physical LNG bunker supply market in Singapore and other Asian ports later this year, following sea trials of its 12,500-cbm bunker vessel Vivit Asia LNG.
  
  The LNG activity has not been confined to Singapore. The LNG-capable car carrier AICC Fenghuang recently received around 2,600 cbm of LNG at the Port of Hong Kong before sailing for the Mediterranean. The STS transfer was carried out by CLPe and CNOOC (Shenzhen) International Marine Clean Energy.
  
  In Spain, Axpo completed its first LNG bunker delivery in Valencia, with LBM accounting for more than half of the fuel supplied.
  
  Beyond the physical deliveries, bunker infrastructure was also in focus.
  
  CMA CGM and energy company ENGIE are planning a biomethane production plant at Haropa Port in Le Havre, France. The facility is expected to produce around 7,000 mt/year of biomethane from 2029, with CMA CGM planning to take the entire output for its LNG dual-fuel fleet.
  
  CMB.TECH is developing an ammonia bunker terminal at Walvis Bay in Namibia. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion expected in late 2028 or early 2029.
  
  Investors in bunker infrastructure face “location-specific” commercial risks, CMB.TECH’s chief technology officer Roy Campe told ENGINE. Unlike dual-fuel vessels, which can continue running on conventional fuels while the ammonia market develops, a terminal depends on sufficient demand at a particular port.
  
  CMB.TECH expects its own fleet to provide initial demand at Walvis Bay, but third-party customers will be needed to support the terminal's commercial viability.
  
  In other news this week, logistics firm DSV will use CMA CGM’s biofuel bunkering service to claim around 12,000 mtCO2e of well-to-wake emissions reductions for its ocean freight operations.
  
  The Biofuel Company of Saudi Arabia (TBFCO) plans to work with local bunker suppliers in Qatar to arrange physical deliveries of 100% biofuel (B100) to vessels at Qatari ports, a company spokesperson told ENGINE.
  
  Swedish shipping company Wallenius Marine will explore how ships can be better designed to harness wind power, rather than retrofitting conventionally designed vessels with wind-assisted propulsion systems. The research project will run from 2026 to 2029 and examine how a vessel’s shape and deck layout influence the performance of wing sails and other wind propulsion technologies. Source: ENGIИE

Read more Oil prices eased on Friday but were heading for weekly gains on the uncertainty over Middle East supplies and a larger-than-expected crude stocks draw in the United States.
  
  Brent crude futures fell 71 cents, or 0.67%, to $105.21 a barrel by 0352 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were down 77 cents, or 0.79%, to $97.20.
  
  WTI settled up more than 3% on Thursday after a big US crude stock draw on hurricane production shut-ins.
  
  For this week so far, Brent increased 0.44%, while WTI jumped 5.81%.
  
  "Uncertainty in the Middle East and concerns over the sustainability of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz has the market pricing in a significant risk premium," ING analysts wrote in a note on Friday.
  
  There needs to be some kind of agreement between the US and Iran to provide the market with more confidence that stronger oil flows from the region will continue, they added.
  
  Supply jitters also rose as attacks around the Strait of Hormuz have surged over the past 10 days, with Iran saying it was stepping up strikes in response to the US blockade of its ports and tougher sanctions introduced last month.
  
  Total Hormuz clearance averaged 11.62 million barrels per day over seven days to October 13, about 68% of the 17.15 million bpd baseline, according to ship tracking firm Kpler.
  
  "Intensified Iranian attacks drove Gulf crude flows sharply lower," Kpler analysts said in a report on Thursday, adding that they expected a slower and more uneven Hormuz recovery, without a comprehensive political deal.
  
  The Houthis fired missiles at the presidential palace complex in the southern city of Aden on Thursday, killing two guards, while the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen detailed dozens of attacks on Saudi infrastructure in the escalating conflict.
  
  The International Energy Agency agreed on Thursday to release over 20 million barrels of diesel to the market and any oil remaining from a record release of emergency reserves pledged in March to boost supply and cool soaring prices.
  
  During the previous trading session, oil prices rose overnight in a sign that "investors were dissatisfied with these measures," Haitong Futures said in a note on Friday.
  
  "What would really cool the oil market is an easing of tensions in the Middle East."
  
  The Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions on some so-called shadow fleet vessels that have transported oil and petroleum products from countries including Russia, Iran and Venezuela, in an effort to reduce record-high global freight rates, a US official said on Wednesday.

  Standard Chartered: Trump's Russian Diesel Won't Add New Supply

Brent crude for December... Read more Oil prices were mixed in Thursday's trading session, with prospects of the United States easing restrictions on Russia's crude helping ease the international benchmark while attacks on vessels in the Middle East provided support. Brent crude for December delivery was down 0.2% to trade at $106 per barrel at 2.49 pm ET, while WTI crude for November delivery jumped 3.6% to trade at $98 per barrel. However, commodity analysts at Standard Chartered have predicted that crude prices will remain elevated despite heightened volatility, with risks still skewed to the upside. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching on 3 November, the political incentive to demonstrate action on elevated fuel prices is clear. Last week, President Trump announced that Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to the U.S. and international markets, followed by 500,000 tons in November; a further 1 million tons thereafter and yet another 3 million tons subject to the condition of Russian refineries.
  
  As StanChart has noted, this marks a striking reversal in US energy diplomacy with the world’s largest diesel exporter now seeking additional fuel from one of the world’s most heavily sanctioned energy producers. However, the energy experts are highly skeptical of Russia's ability to increase its diesel output in the near-term. After all, Ukrainian attacks have significantly degraded Russia’s refining capacity, while domestic fuel shortages and export restrictions have already constrained its ability to supply international markets. Moscow has repeatedly breached the energy ceasefire announced by Trump, with strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities continuing. StanChart says that a ceasefire would be critical to Russia’s ability to restore refining capacity, and that even a sustained cessation of attacks would not immediately restore damaged processing units or normal refinery utilization.
  
  Meanwhile, Russia must now balance additional export commitments against its domestic requirements. The situation is not helped by the fact that sanctions on specialized refinery equipment also make it harder to restore the facilities. But here’s the main kicker: the announced volumes cannot automatically be treated as incremental global supply because barrels redirected to the U.S. or other buyers would simply become barrels unavailable to existing customers.
  
  Recently, OPEC ministers warned that shipping and insurance costs had risen to more than one-third of the commodity’s value. Whereas this figure is not representative of every trade route, StanChart notes that it highlights the extraordinary costs associated with disrupted energy flows. Even where crude and product exports recover, longer voyages, additional handling, elevated insurance premiums and reliance on alternative routes continue to raise the cost of delivering supplies to consumers.
  
  Recovering volumes, then, don’t necessarily mean normalizing market conditions. Political agreements may improve expectations of availability, but they cannot immediately restore damaged infrastructure, efficient trade routes or the lower delivered costs that characterized the market before the disruption.
  
  The vulnerability of regional energy infrastructure was highlighted once again over the weekend, even as attention turned to the Riyadh energy forum. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack on King Khalid International Airport about a week ago, followed by further strikes that disrupted operations at Dammam airport as well as a missile that was intercepted over Riyadh on 12th October.
  
  According to Stanchart, the escalation highlights the increasingly distinct but overlapping fronts of the Middle East conflict: the broader U.S.-Iran confrontation and the renewed Saudi-Houthi war. Crucially, the latter presents a direct threat to Saudi infrastructure, independent of developments in the Gulf. The attacks reinforce the vulnerability of the infrastructure and logistics networks on which the region’s supply recovery depends. Recovering export volumes, therefore, offer little reassurance if the routes enabling that recovery remain exposed to further escalation.
  
  On the natural gas front, Stanchart has projected that Europe’s gas prices will remain elevated as the continent's early phase of cooler weather increases the tug-of-war between heating demand and storage injections. Europe’s first cold spell of the season has tightened the regional fundamental balance. To wit, CNWE’s LDC demand increased by 26% w/w--the largest absolute and relative shift in the balance of the week. CNWE storage injections simultaneously rose by 8%, meaning that immediate heating demand and the continuing need to rebuild inventories tightened the system at the same time.
  
  Meanwhile, higher Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) flows and LNG sendout into CNWE provided some relief, but did not fully offset the increase in demand. TTF gas prices jumped 10.2% over the past week to trade at €85.83 per MWh. Source: Oilprice.com
