Oil Slides As Qatar Touts 'Talks' Again; Iran Struck Large Crude Tanker Overnight
Iran is said to have struck a Very Large Crude Carrier in the Strait of Hormuz late on Monday, signaling what will likely be the resumption of strikes on foreign vessels seeking to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, after last week's diplomatic talks at the UN failed to produce a breakthrough. Still, for the time being more oil is being shipped through the strait compared to where the situation was for the past many months of war.
Maritime monitor UKMTO indicated the vessel was struck by a suspected unknown projectile, resulting in a fire. The fire looks to have been extinguished quickly, with the crew safe and the vessel underway on its transit.
On Tuesday Iran's parliament speaker Bagher Ghalibaf has reiterated that America should know that "in a region where we don't sell oil, no one will sell oil." He followed with, "If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe."

Qatar And Kuwait Restore 70% Of Pre-War Oil Exports Through Hormuz
Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,
Qatar and Kuwait have managed to boost their crude oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz to 70% of pre-war levels as they followed the United Arab Emirates in shuttling oil through the chokepoint and using ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman, anonymous traders told Bloomberg on Thursday.
Before the Middle East conflict, Qatar and Kuwait collectively exported about 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil via the Strait of Hormuz.
They don't have alternative routes as Saudi Arabia and the UAE do, and struggled to ship oil out of the Persian Gulf in the first couple of months of the conflict.
But around June, Kuwait and Qatar began shuttling crude out of Hormuz and offered it for transfers outside the chokepoint in the Gulf of Oman.
The increasing Kuwaiti and Qatari oil volumes add to the barrels that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been sneaking through the Strait of Hor...

Kuwait, Qatar Ramp Up Hormuz Oil Flows As Oman-Iran Talks Ease Supply Fears
Brent crude futures fell to an intraday low of $86.22 a barrel early Thursday before recovering above $88 by 0630 ET. The benchmark is down 6.3% this week as traders unwind part of the war-risk premium amid growing optimism that renewed diplomatic efforts involving Iran, Oman and Qatar could reduce the threat of drone attacks on tankers in the critical waterway.
Bloomberg reported earlier that Kuwait and Qatar are restoring crude exports through the highly contested maritime chokepoint. Sources familiar with energy flows in the Gulf region say that both producers are shipping about 70% of the combined 2 million barrels a day they exported before the Iran war.
Total oil shipments via tankers have climbed to between 7 million and 8 million barrels a day, up from roughly 4 million barrels a day in mid-July and equal to about 75% of prewar levels, according to the outlet.

Oil Slides As Qatar Floats New Iran Deal, Bessent Promises Hormuz Breakthrough: 'May Have Deal Tomorrow'
Another fake ceasefire in progress? Or are we to believe it's for real this time? There's nothing on the ground-level at all that currently suggests the warring sides are imminently about to agree to a new ceasefire, or are so much as back at the negotiating table.
And yet Tuesday morning headlines are now being driven by a Qatari Foreign Ministry statement saying that "language" for a possible US-Iran resolution "has been drafted" and "is being circulated between the parties."
via Doha News
Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari didn't offer any time line for a potential deal in relaying the statement before a press briefing but said that current diplomatic efforts are focused on preventing further escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and creating conditions to resume talks.
He described that the focus is on short term resolution that would restart US...

Gas: LNG- Exporte stabilisieren sich auf niedrigem Niveau (SG)
|
|
|
Davon zu sprechen, dass beim Gasmarkt alles wieder beim alten ist, wäre übertrieben. Die Daten von Bloomberg zeigen, dass sich die LNG-Exporte weltweit in den letzten Monaten auf einem niedrigen Niveau stabilisiert haben. Auch in diesem Monat lagen die LNG-Exporte des Nahen Ostens, vor allem aus Katar, auf einem niedrigen Niveau und konnten sich trotz des Rahmenabkommens zwischen dem Iran und den USA kaum nach oben bewegen.. --- Für den europäischen Gaspreis bedeutet das ein höheres Niveau für eine längere Zeit. Auch Faktoren wie die relativ niedrigen Gasspeicherfüllstände (bei gleichzeitig höherem Einsatz der Gaskraft (zumindest in Deutschland)) und die höhere LNG-Nachfrage aus Asien durch El Niño sorgen für weiteren Aufwärtsdruck beim Gaspreis..

US-Iran Have Delegations In Qatar, But No Direct Talks; Hormuz Energy Transit Rebounds - Oil Down Near Prewar Levels
The Witkoff-Kushner delegation is now confirmed to be in Doha, and yet in its latest official statement Iran's foreign ministry has made clear the Iranian side has no plans to meet US officials "at any level in the next few days."
"What will probably be done in Doha tomorrow is a discussion on the implementation of clauses of the Memorandum of Understanding, including the clause related to the release of Iran's restricted assets with the Qatari parties," spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says. "Therefore, I emphasize that we have not planned any meeting with the American side at any level for the next few days," Baghaei added.
Tehran is expecting that $6 billion of Iranian frozen funds in Qatar will be transferred back by week's end, but Qatar's foreign ministry indicated Tuesday this had yet to happen. Up for discussion among mediators currently in Qa...

Gas: Explosion in Katar könnte LNG-Angebot länger verknappen (SG)
|
|
|
Gestern kam es in einer Gasverarbeitungsanlage in der weltgrößten LNG-Anlage in Katar zu einer Explosion, die 13 Todesopfer und zahlreiche Verletzte forderte. Zwar betonte der Betreiber der Anlage, dass der Vorfall keinen Einfluss auf die LNG-Exportkapazitäten haben dürfte. Dennoch könnte es zu Verzögerungen beim Wiederhochfahren der Anlage kommen, bis die Ursachen der Explosion ermittelt sind. Die LNG-Anlage ist seit März geschlossen, weil der Transportweg für die LNG-Tanker durch die Straße von Hormus bis zuletzt blockiert gewesen ist..
