  Oil set for second weekly loss amid easing fears of fresh U.S.-Iran fighting

Track... Read more Oil prices were on track for a second straight weekly decline, as fears of a renewed round of fighting in the Middle East eased, although the conflict remains mired in an ongoing stalemate and attacks have continued on tankers in the Persian Gulf. Track real-time oil prices and expert energy market analysis with InvestingPro - now 55% off
  
  As of 08:11 ET (13:11 GMT), Brent crude futures had risen 0.3% to $96.12 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures had fallen 0.2% to $88.54 a barrel. Brent oil, the global benchmark, was heading for a more than 2% weekly drop, following a 16% plunge in the previous week, while WTI was set to lose another 2.5% after falling 13% last week.
  
  What signs would show oil supply risks are easing further?
  
  How could calmer U.S.-Iran tensions affect LCO supply risks?
  Despite the consecutive weekly losses, Brent remains nearly 60% higher year to date. While Middle East oil flows have been disrupted by the Iran war, which is now in its ninth month, recent figures have indicated that supplies out of the region are recovering.
  
  On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington no longer needed an agreement with Iran, dimming hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough to end the conflict and restore energy flows from the Middle East. Trump argued that the U.S. had established significant financial leverage over Iran and secured control of the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Trump also instructed Vice President JD Vance to redirect his attention towards domestic priorities rather than negotiations with Iran, dealing another setback to efforts to revive back-channel discussions. Analysts cited by Reuters interpreted the statement as a sign that the U.S. will maintain a naval blockade of Iranian ports and broader economic sanctions, rather than revert back to launching fresh strikes at Iran.
  
  The comments followed a volatile week in which earlier hopes of a Middle East detente were offset by renewed attacks on Saudi infrastructure by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis and strikes on tankers carrying crude out of the Gulf.
  
  Security risks across the Persian Gulf remain elevated. Risk consultancy Verisk Maplecroft recorded 36 confirmed attacks on commercial vessels across the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman in October, the highest monthly tally since the conflict began.
  
  Iran has also maintained a hardline position on nuclear negotiations, with Tehran’s top security official ruling out the removal of the country’s enriched nuclear material.
  
  On the supply side, global oil supplies have surpassed demand for the first time since the outbreak of the war in late February, according to the International Energy Agency, adding that the oil market is "showing tentative signs of rebalancing." Gulf crude exports, in particular, have recovered to around three-fourths of pre-war levels, the IEA said.
  
  "[M]arkets are balancing Trump’s ’I don’t want a deal’ against the latest IEA report which said global oil markets are back in a supply surplus," analysts at Vital Knowledge said in a note.
  
  Previously, OPEC said its crude production increased by 1.96 million barrels per day to 27.16 million bpd in October, approaching its pre-war level of 28.63 million bpd recorded in February. Saudi Arabia led the recovery, raising output to 10.56 million bpd from 8.37 million bpd in September.
  
  However, ANZ analysts cautioned that the recovery remains vulnerable, noting that restored supply relies on alternative logistical arrangements rather than secure shipping routes, leaving the market exposed to further disruptions. Source: Investing.com

  The Week in Alt Fuels: A drop in the tank

Read more Several producers are developing small-scale low- and zero-emission fuel projects around the world. But shipping needs far greater volumes available at competitive prices and at major bunker locations.
  
  Several small-scale biofuel and e-fuel projects are being developed around the world.
  
  Swiss startup Synhelion expects to start commercial operations at its 1,000 mt/year synthetic fuel plant in Germany in 2028. German-Brazilian startup Atlanteo is developing a modular e-methanol production concept, with its first 20 MW plant expected to produce around 10,000 mt/year.
  
  European Energy’s Kassø e-methanol facility in Aabenraa, Denmark, which is already operating, produced 4,974 mt of e-methanol in the first half of 2026, against a planned capacity of 32,000 mt/year. The company is also planning a 48,000 mt/year e-methanol plant in Québec, Canada, with Greenfield Global.
  
  ENGIE is planning a biomethane production facility at the HAROPA port complex in France, with an expected output of 7,000 mt/year intended for CMA CGM’s LNG-capable fleet.
  
  Smaller-capacity projects can help developers test technologies, identify production challenges and establish commercial supply chains. But proving a concept works is one thing. Making it work at scale to meet potential demand is another.
  
  A large ocean-going vessel can consume thousands of mt/year of fuel. That puts the output of a 1,000 mt/year plant into perspective. Even a 10,000 mt/year facility could typically serve only a limited number of vessels, depending on their size and fuel consumption.
  
  And shipping is hardly the only customer waiting at the door. A number of low- and zero-emission fuel producers are diversifying the allocations across multiple sectors, including aviation, road transport, chemicals and fertilisers, leaving several industries competing for the same molecules.
  
  Then comes the cost of getting that fuel to ships.
  
  Producing renewable fuel at a competitive price doesn't automatically make it a viable marine fuel option. Transport, storage and physical delivery costs can push up the final bunker price, particularly when production facilities are located far from major bunkering ports.
  
  Longer transport distances could also increase associated emissions, potentially reducing the environmental benefits of switching to cleaner fuels.
  
  This is where the distinction between scaling production and scaling supply becomes important.
  
  Some developers intend to expand existing facilities, while others are pursuing networks of smaller plants.
  
  Atlanteo, for instance, plans to replicate its modular facilities in locations with suitable renewable energy and agricultural resources. Synhelion has outlined plans for larger plants in Germany and Morocco.
  
  Both approaches could increase production capacity. But the real commercial test is whether that fuel can reach ocean-going vessels in sufficient quantities without logistics costs undermining its appeal.
  
  None of this diminishes the importance of smaller projects. They provide an opportunity to test technologies and work through practical challenges before committing to larger investments.
  
  But a successful pilot is only the beginning.
  
  For renewable fuels to make a meaningful contribution to deep-sea shipping, producers must eventually develop supply chains capable of delivering sufficient volumes at workable prices to the ports where vessels actually bunker.
  
  In other alt fuels news this week, Frontier Fuels has chartered a barge for B100 deliveries on the Elbe, for supplying ships at five ports, including Hamburg and Cuxhaven. The barge, Lina, will carry only B100 (100% biofuel), the company said. It will also deliver to ships in Stade, Kiel and Brunsbüttel.
  
  The VO Chidambaranar (VOC) Port Authority will commence methanol bunkering at the port by the end of November. The port’s methanol bunker infrastructure comprises an onshore storage facility connected to a jetty through a 2.8-km pipeline for shore-to-ship fuel transfers.
  
  US LNG bunker supplier REV LNG completed an LNG bunkering operation for Siem Car Carriers’ vessel Aristotle, marking the first such operation at the Port of Davisville in Rhode Island. The truck-to-ship operation also marks the first LNG fuelling of a car carrier in the US Northeast, according to REV LNG.
  
  PowerCell will supply fuel cells for an ammonia power project in Norway. The system is designed to generate 700 kW of electricity for commercial ships and will be tested in Stord ahead of commissioning in early 2028. Source: ENGIИE

  Oil prices set for second weekly decline as Trump to stay with Iran blockade

Read more Oil prices were mixed on Friday, but set for their second weekly decline, as the US plans to continue its Iranian blockade, reducing the chance of renewed large-scale fighting that could disrupt Middle East supplies, though attacks on shipping remain a danger.
  
  Brent futures were little changed, down 1 cent at $95.41 a barrel at 0242 GMT. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) declined by 20 cents, or 0.25%, to $88.52 a barrel.
  
  Which sectors feel prolonged Iran blockade risks first?
  
  How could LCO react if the Iran blockade persists?
  Friday’s declines reversed two days of gains amid a volatile trading week with earlier hopes for a rapprochement of the US-Israel war against Iran, now in its ninth month, offset by strikes on Saudi Arabian infrastructure by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis and attacks on tankers transporting crude out of the Gulf.
  
  Despite the swings in prices amid the inconclusive war, Brent is set for a 2.4% drop this week, after plunging 16% the previous week, while WTI is set for a 2.5% decline, after dropping 13% previously.
  
  Prices slipped on Friday after US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social a deal with Iran was not necessary to end the war, indicating he will stick with the blockade on oil shipments and trade and economic sanctions.
  
  The overall decline in prices over the past two weeks reflects a good assessment of the risks to the market, said Chris Brankin, global advisor for Melbourne-based brokerage MiTrade.
  
  "I think the oil market is priced to perfection at this point," he said, adding that prices have bounced back a bit but without much conviction on the part of traders, which shows they are following closely what is happening in the Middle East.
  
  Despite the easing prices, risks remain for oil shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway for crude exports from the main Middle East producers.
  
  On Thursday, Iran’s military said four oil tankers were hit by explosions in the Strait of Hormuz after ignoring warnings. Reuters could not immediately verify the Iranian accounts.
  
  That same day, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said they had attacked a pumping station on the Saudi East-West oil pipeline; an oil facility in the Saudi Red Sea city of Yanbu; and an Aramco building in the capital Riyadh.
  
  Also pressuring prices, US crude and fuel inventories rose last week, driven by softer refined products demand and a jump in oil imports, the Energy Information Administration said on Thursday.
  
  Crude inventories rose by 4.7 million barrels to 414.4 million barrels in the week ended November 6, the EIA said, compared with analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.1 million-barrel draw. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Europe Enters Winter With Its Lowest Gas Inventory of the 2020s

Read more Asian spot LNG is trading above $30 per million British thermal units and Europe is entering winter with its lowest gas inventory of the 2020s, yet Rystad Energy stops short of predicting a further rally. In its winter LNG outlook, published this week, the consultancy lays out as many ways for prices to fall as to rise and tells buyers to plan for a wide range of outcomes instead of one base case.
  
  EU storage sites were 71.6% full in Gas Infrastructure Europe’s Nov. 11 update, with Germany at 58%, and that is well under the five-year average for the start of the heating season. The International Energy Agency modeled a cold winter combined with continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and found that EU storage could fall below 10% of working capacity by the end of March, S&P Global reported. A late cold snap would land when withdrawal rates, which slow as sites empty, are least able to respond.
  
  Rystad says Europe will have to pay up to keep US cargoes from being pulled toward Asia, where the loss of Middle Eastern supply has buyers chasing the same Atlantic LNG. Asia is a less eager bidder than the price suggests, though. Rystad expects a mild winter in Northeast Asia, where LNG at $30 discourages gas burning and boosts coal use. Weather alone may matter less than it sounds. Bernstein calculated that a super El Niño would cut Japan’s winter heating demand by 19% but its LNG consumption by only 2%.
  
  Price does more of the work. Bloomberg reported Monday that cheap domestic supply is curbing Chinese spot buying, with the national average LNG price near $22, almost $10 below the Japan/Korea Marker.
  
  In the US, the Energy Information Administration’s Nov. 10 outlook has Henry Hub averaging $2.87 from November through March, 16% below last month’s forecast, with export terminals running near full capacity. Rystad expects a winter peak around $4, and both describe a US market cut off from the global rally.
  
  October was both the busiest month for LNG tankers leaving Hormuz since February and the worst for attacks on shipping since the war began. S&P Global Energy tracking cited by Reuters counted 31 laden LNG tankers exiting the strait, up from 23 in September, while the Washington Institute for Near East Policy counted 37 ships struck over the same month.
  
  Kpler data put Qatar’s October exports just above 2.7 million tons, against nearly 6.2 million in February. QatarEnergy said in March that Iranian attacks had cut 17% of its export capacity and has since extended force majeure through at least the end of December.
  
  Supply from outside the Gulf has made up about two-thirds of the lost Qatari and UAE volumes since March, the IEA said, yet global LNG supply is still headed for a 3% drop this year, the steepest on record.
  
  Transits stabilized in October, according to Rystad, and could allow a supply recovery by the second quarter of 2027, but output is “one escalation away from cratering again.” Diplomacy offers little to lean on. Iran’s top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has denied that talks with Washington are under way and said Tehran will not let enriched nuclear material leave the country, while Washington insists nuclear concessions be part of any deal. European gas has risen three sessions running, with front-month TTF up 2% to €88.42 per megawatt-hour on Thursday morning.
  
  On the upside, Rystad points to a cold snap in under-stocked Europe and an El Niño drought that would hit hydropower in Colombia and Brazil and lift regional gas demand. On the downside are the return of Middle Eastern LNG and mild weather in Europe and Asia.
  
  A Gulf recovery by spring would help this winter’s math, though the IEA takes a gloomier view of the longer run. It puts cumulative LNG supply losses from 2026 to 2030 at 150 billion cubic meters, equal to 15% of the new supply expected globally over that period, and sees no meaningful relief before the end of the decade.
