Experts view the return of Spanish petrochemical company Repsol to Venezuela with optimism
Spanish petrochemical company Repsol has signed two agreements with Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA to enhance joint activities, which experts believe will help reduce PDVSA's $1.3 billion debt to Repsol. Venezuelan oil production, reported at 780,000 barrels per day in November, could increase by 45,000 barrels daily with Repsol's involvement, potentially reaching 1.2 million barrels by the end of 2024. PDVSA President Pedro Rafael Tellechea emphasized the significance of the agreement for both Spain and Venezuela, marking a step towards revitalizing Venezuela's oil industry.

Inflation drop sparks rate cut speculation
The article discusses the unexpected drop in the UK's inflation rate and its potential impact on the Bank of England's interest rate decisions. Despite the Bank's caution against early speculation, the decline in inflation has led to investor expectations of a rate cut by May 2024. The UK's economic performance showed signs of improvement towards the end of the year, despite a contraction in the third quarter that could signal a technical recession. The S&P Global/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index indicated growth in private sector business activity. Global market indices ended 2023 positively, with the UK indices lagging behind those of Europe, the US, and Japan. The UK job market showed a softening, with a slight drop in payrolled employees and job vacancies, although wage growth is still above inflation. Retail sales in November exceeded expectations, driven by Black Friday sales and discounting, but the retail sector faces challenges ahead.

US Energy Stocks Dive On Crude, Natural Gas Price Slump: Contrarian Analyst Says 'Own Commodities' In 2024
On Monday, the U.S. oil and gas sector experienced a significant downturn, with energy stocks and commodity prices falling. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund dropped nearly 3%, and WTI crude prices fell by nearly 5% to $70 per barrel, partly due to Saudi Arabia cutting crude prices. OPEC's production increased, and U.S. natural gas prices declined due to warmer weather forecasts and high reserves. Despite this, Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs commodity chief, predicted a strong commodity market in 2024 if central banks cut interest rates, citing high demand, low inventories, and maxed-out production capacity.

Oil down more than 1% as Saudi price cuts offset Mid
Oil prices fell by over 1% due to Saudi Arabia's sharp price cuts and increased OPEC output, despite rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures both saw declines. Saudi Aramco's reduction of its February official selling price for Arab Light crude to Asia contributed to the bearish market sentiment. Geopolitical risks, including the Gaza conflict and attacks in the Red Sea, provided limited upward pressure on prices. OPEC's output rose in December, and U.S. oil drilling rigs increased slightly, with JPMorgan forecasting more additions in the Permian region.

Why COP28 is hanging by a thread over fossil fuel deadlock
The article discusses the contentious draft text at COP28, which has been criticized for its lack of ambition in phasing out fossil fuels. Friends of the Earth and even the UK, which has recently rolled back some of its climate commitments, have expressed dissatisfaction with the draft. UAE's COP28 president, Sultan Al Jaber, who is also the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, sees the draft as a positive step. The draft urges countries to reduce fossil fuel consumption and production but falls short of calling for a phase-out. The science indicates that fossil fuels are the main driver of global heating, and current pledges are insufficient to prevent a 3°C rise in global temperatures. Countries like Saudi Arabia, India, and China, supported by industry lobbyists, are blocking stronger language on fossil fuel phase-out. The article also mentions the presence of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in the draft, which is criticized by experts as expensive and unproven. The draft includes other measures such as energy efficiency, coal phase-down, and renewable energy targets. A 'loss and damage' fund has been agreed upon to compensate poorer states for climate change effects. The article suggests that a failure to reach an agreement might be better for the planet than a weak agreement.

Saudi Aramco raises 2030 gas target as capex growth to slow on oil
Saudi Aramco has raised its target for natural gas production by more than 60% by 2030 while reducing its capital expenditure forecast for crude oil due to a directive to halt expansion of oil production capacity. The company plans to invest significantly in LNG projects and is in discussions with global partners. Aramco's capex will focus 60% on upstream, including gas, with evolving plans to allocate more towards new energies. Despite the shift, Aramco will continue to seek downstream investment opportunities internationally, particularly in Asia. The company is also advancing its renewable energy projects and aims to produce significant quantities of blue ammonia and hydrogen by 2030.

COP28: agreement on the 'transition'. Now, however, money is needed
The COP28 agreement, reached at the last moment, represents a significant diplomatic milestone but has faced criticism from environmental groups. The negotiations highlighted a compromise between two groups: one led by the European Union advocating for a 'phaseout' of fossil fuels, and another including OPEC members like Russia and Saudi Arabia, pushing for a 'phasedown'. The agreement reflects geopolitical tensions, with countries like China maintaining a neutral stance. The article underscores the need for concrete actions and financial commitments to support climate initiatives, noting past failures to deliver promised funds. The COP28's location in the UAE, a major oil producer, has also sparked debate about the feasibility of transitioning to renewable energy without the support of fossil fuel-dependent nations.

Experts highlight the strategic importance of Iran's oil infrastructure and the potential for regional instability, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz. Countries like China and India, with strong economic ties to Iran, are working to prevent escalation. The U.S. and Russia could potentially fill any market gaps caused by disruptions in Iranian oil supply. The situation remains volatile, with potential repercussions for global energy markets.

What are the chances of the opposition taking power in Venezuela and what does Maduro face?
The political landscape in Venezuela is tense as both Nicolás Maduro and opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia claim the presidency. Analysts suggest the opposition's chances of taking power are limited, with international recognition for Maduro expected to decline. The National Electoral Council declared Maduro the winner, but the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, disputes this, citing evidence of González's victory. The situation is complicated by González's exile in Spain and the government's control over key institutions. Internationally, countries like the US and EU have not recognized Maduro's victory, while some BRICS and OPEC nations may continue to support him. The article highlights the challenges and uncertainties facing both sides as the January 10 inauguration date approaches.

Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports rise to 3-month high
Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports reached a three-month high in September, driven by a significant reduction in domestic oil consumption for power generation. The kingdom exported 5.75 million barrels per day, an increase from August, as it shifts towards using gas for power. However, declining demand from China, a key market, poses challenges, leading Saudi Aramco to cut official selling prices to Asia. Despite maintaining production under 9 million bpd in line with Opec+ cuts, the global oil market faces potential surpluses due to reduced Chinese consumption and increased non-Opec production.

Who's afraid of Aliko Dangote?
The $19 billion Dangote Refinery in Nigeria, capable of meeting the country's refined product needs, faces significant opposition from local importers, regulators, and International Oil Companies (IOCs). Aliko Dangote, the businessman behind the refinery, has accused state agencies of sabotaging local oil capacity and importers of resisting his superior diesel products. The controversy has drawn support from prominent figures like Femi Otedola and Lamido Sanusi but has also raised concerns about investor confidence in Nigeria. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has been criticized for failing to meet its payment obligations and lacking transparency. The dispute has political undertones, with allegations of political factors influencing business decisions. The Dangote refinery, the largest single-train refinery in the world, holds significant promise for Nigeria's economy but faces challenges from both local and international stakeholders.

The agreement, which also promotes renewable energy and carbon capture technologies, has been met with mixed reactions in Nigeria. Nigerian leaders, including former climate change director Peter Tarfa, stress the need for proper implementation. However, Salisu Dahiru and others criticize the deal for lacking fairness towards developing countries. Nigeria, heavily reliant on oil for foreign exchange, faces economic impacts from the transition. President Bola Tinubu has called for significant financial support to achieve Nigeria's transition plan, while highlighting developed nations' unfulfilled financial commitments to poorer countries.

New Members, Old Powers: BRICS’ New Year Expansion As 10-Country Bloc
BRICS has expanded to include five new members—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia—doubling its membership to ten nations. This expansion, effective from January 1, 2024, aims to enhance the bloc's economic weight and global influence, particularly in challenging US dominance. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa supports the move, emphasizing its benefits for the Global South. However, independent analyst Marisa Lourenço suggests that while the expansion is significant, it is unlikely to disrupt the current economic order immediately. The inclusion of major oil producers and emerging economies could reshape global trade dynamics, but the bloc faces challenges in integrating diverse member states and addressing regional disparities. The expansion is particularly advantageous for China, the bloc's most influential member, and poses a potential challenge to US hegemony.

The U.S. remains the world's largest oil producer, setting a new production record in 2023. High prices driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the reopening of the Chinese economy, along with technological advancements like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, have spurred production growth. However, global economic slowdown poses challenges, with U.S. production growth stagnating and a potential decline anticipated by the IEA for 2024. The Frac Spread Count and other economic indicators are critical for tracking future production trends.
