Crude oil prices could rise by between 15% and 20% from pre-war levels in case of disruption of 1.1 million barrels daily in production, Citi analysts have said, putting Brent crude’s wartime price at between $75 and $78 per barrel. If the supply disruption is larger, above 3 million barrels daily, Brent crude could hit $90, the bank also said. Earlier today, Brent topped $77 per barrel, with ING the latest to say it could top $120 per barrel in the case of a supply disruption.
Cayuga Station, owned by Duke Energy, is a three-unit coal-fired power plant built between 1970 and 1993 in Vermillion County, Indiana.

Duke recently filed a request with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) for permission to build two new gas-fired plants at the.
Pakistan’s state-owned Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has hit a new reservoir of oil and gas at its Faakir-1 wildcat well—an onshore discovery in Sindh province that could help reverse the country’s deepening energy crisis. Drilled to a depth of 4,185 meters, the well tested at 6.4 million cubic feet per day of gas and 55 barrels per day of condensate from the Lower Goru formation.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved the Darden Clean Energy Project, which the agency said is the first to be fast-tracked under the group's Opt-In Certification program.

AGA Newsroom True Blue Blog Where energy conversations come to life. Between severe weather and growing demand, there is no shortage of challenges facing America’s energy system. Natural gas utilities are well equipped to rise to the occasion and our nation boasts more than 100 years of recoverable natural gas supply to meet rising demand. However, in recent years it has become clear that there is still a constraint on our energy system that is hindering progress delaying projects to improve and
(World Oil) – A week since Israel and Iran started to exchange missile barrages, oil tanker transits through the critical Strait of Hormuz have remained largely steady. A seven-day rolling average for oil tankers above 10,000 deadweight tons that sailed through the Strait — the passageway for the Persian Gulf’s energy supplies to the world — was approximately 42-to-45, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
Global tanker operators and shipping authorities have taken decisive action, even without an official closure of the Strait of Hormuz, amid escalating tension between Israel and Iran. Their public statements, route shifts, and risk assessments are reshaping freight scheduling, insurance premiums, and–most significantly–energy market sentiment in real time.

(BOE Report) – Brent crude oil is up around 20% so far in June, and set for its biggest monthly jump since 2020 as Israel/Iran tensions flare-up. Although relatively contained, the rise has not gone unnoticed just three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered a surge in energy prices that ramped up global inflation and sparked aggressive interest rate hikes.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting private-sector nuclear developers to submit proposals for experiments and demonstrations using its Microreactor Application Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) project.

(Oil Price) – As part of the European Union’s efforts to halt imports of Russian natural gas by 2027, the bloc will require EU companies to disclose details of their contracts to buy Russian gas, according to an internal European Commission document seen by Reuters. In May, the EU unveiled a roadmap to end dependency on Russian energy. The roadmap calls for the EU to stop all imports of Russian gas by the end of 2027 by improving the transparency, monitoring, and traceability of Russian
The global tide is turning in favor of nuclear energy after decades of distrust and an adverse policy environment. This week, the sea change picked up speed as the World Bank announced that it would return to the nuclear energy space as a funder, marking a “major reversal” and “a momentous shift for international energy policy” according to the World Nuclear Association.
A nonprofit environmental group said at least 130 natural gas-fired power plant projects are planned in Texas over the next few years as part of that state's effort to meet growing demand for energy. The Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), in a report published June 11, said the projects would provide about 58 GW of new generation capacity, while noting that many of the proposed facilities may not move beyond the planning stage.

For decades, the United States has been the world’s biggest producer of nuclear energy, accounting for 30% of global production. The country, however, currently imports 98% of the uranium feedstock it needs to power its 94 nuclear reactors. Indeed, the U.S. accounts for less than 1% of the world’s uranium output, with Kazakhstan, Canada, and Namibia accounting for nearly two-thirds of global production.

(Oil Price) – The plans of many EU countries to boost nuclear power capacities will need an investment of as much as $278 billion (241 billion euros), according to estimates by the European Commission. Many EU countries have drafted plans to increase nuclear power capacity or even return to nuclear energy after decades of no nuclear generation, as they look to reduce imports of fossil fuels and meet emissions reductions and net-zero goals with more nuclear power.
As the Oilholic hopped across from Doha to Abu Dhabi on Monday it became evident that a further (read dramatic) spike in oil prices was not going to materialize. It was helped in no small part by a report in the Wall Street Journal claiming that the Iranians - battered by precision Israeli bombing that began on Friday - were keen to get back to the negotiating table to end hostilities and resume discussions over its nuclear program.
