Inflation concerns are back, and rising energy market prices are primarily to blame. That’s bad news for the Biden administration.

It’s a wake-up call for the low-carbon energy transition. Investors, energy companies, and consumers have made it clear that the energy transition is happening too fast.

The Biden administration’s decision to pause LNG export permits raised concerns it could force importing countries to revert to using coal instead of cleaner natural gas.

President Joe Biden’s halt to new licenses for LNG exports has the oil and gas industry wondering what the White House will do next to secure votes from the Democrats’...

Senate Democrats’ call for antitrust investigations into recent oil company mergers are misguided and politically motivated. Consolidation will lead to lower prices.

The United States is the world’s biggest oil and gas producer – and has been for many years since the shale revolution took hold over a decade ago.

A recent report details efforts by climate advocates to influence the SEC to mandate climate-risk disclosures in an effort to decapitalize the U.S. oil and gas industry.

The Ukraine war is pushing energy security to the top of the agenda for the West, prioritizing oil and natural gas production over climate change and environmental activism for the first time in decades. The reaction from Wall Street investors to the shift toward energy security has been positive.

Reports of the shine going off the oil and natural gas sector with investors have been greatly exaggerated. A sector left for dead during the Covid-19 pandemic – when energy demand plummeted, and crude oil prices briefly went negative – is experiencing a remarkable turnaround.

The Interior Department is set to issue a final decision on Alaska’s Willow project in the coming weeks. Environmentalists are trying to block the project but it meets America’s high environmental standards and would provide a secure and reliable energy source for the nation for decades.

The year-old war in Ukraine has had far-reaching impacts on energy markets, redrawing the global map of oil and gas flows and creating a new boom market for U.S. producers. But probably the biggest takeaway from the conflict is a reminder that energy abundance equals national security.

U.S. shale oil, which has been critical to keeping pace with growth in global oil demand for the last decade, is running short of the “top rock” that has supported the sector’s high output in the past. Shale production is expected to continue to grow but at a slower rate.

It’s hard to envision a better setup for oil markets in 2023. It’s why oil market guru Danial Yergin predicts oil prices could hit $121 a barrel next year when China fully reopens. And it is why oil looks like an excellent place for investors in 2023 despite ongoing economic headwinds.

After 14 months and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform has released more internal oil and gas industry documents showing the shocking findings that America’s oil and natural gas companies want to continue producing oil and gas.

Republicans are expected to pick up enough seats in the November 8 midterm elections to capture majorities in both chambers of Congress. A shift back to Republican control will likely complicate Biden’s energy policy priorities, but it would undoubtedly provide a boost to energy security advocates.

If Washington is upset about the influence of the OPEC+ cartel over global oil markets, wait a few years – because it will only get worse. U.S. oil production could peak as soon as 2024, which means markets will have to make do without a crucial short-cycle “swing” producer to keep up with demand.

Oil prices are back on the rise and the Biden administration is concerned about volatility heading into the contested midterm elections. But the administration is considering counterproductive policies like restricting energy exports while blaming domestic producers for the problems.

Gasoline prices may be receding from their summer highs, but limited oil supplies and global unrest mean consumers should brace for a winter of discontent in energy markets.

Saudi Arabia’s threat to cut oil production is a shot over the bow of the Biden administration over its talks with Riyadh’s arch-enemy Iran to revive the nuclear deal. The Saudi move undermines Biden’s attempts to increase global oil supplies and is a sign that OPEC will defend $100 oil prices.

President Biden expects gas prices to continue to fall, but most market watchers disagree. Global oil prices were back on the rise this week on supply fears. Retail gas prices have fallen nearly 50 cents since peaking in June. Still, there are ample reasons to believe the energy crisis will persist.
