Gunboat Diplomacy Accelerated: US Seizes Another Oil Tanker Off Venezuela's Coast
Update:
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed that the U.S. Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, has seized another oil tanker that was last docked in Venezuela.
"The United States will continue to pursue the illicit movement of sanctioned oil used to fund narco-terrorism in the region. We will find you, and we will stop you," Noem wrote in a post on X.
In a pre-dawn action early this morning on Dec. 20, the US Coast Guard with the support of the Department of War apprehended an oil tanker that was last docked in Venezuela.

Ölpreise durch geopolitische Entwicklungen hin und her gerissen (SG)
|
|
|
Die Ölpreise gerieten am Dienstag stark unter Druck. Brent und WTI fielen um mehr als 2%. Brent fiel auf ein 7-Monatstief von weniger als 59 USD je Barrel und ging auf dem niedrigsten Schlussstand seit Februar 2021 aus dem Handel. WTI rutschte erstmals seit Februar 2021 kurzzeitig unter die Marke von 55 USD je Barrel. Ausgelöst wurde der Preisrückgang durch das derzeitige Überangebot und die gemeldeten Fortschritte in den Verhandlungen zur Beendigung des Ukraine-Krieges.. --- Der Preisanstieg setzte allerdings schon zuvor ein, nachdem US-Präsident Trump eine Blockade von sanktionierten Öltankern angekündigt hatte, die Öl in Venezuela beladen wollen. Dies stellt eine weitere Eskalation in den Spannungen zwischen den USA und Venezuela dar, nachdem letzte Woche ein Öltanker vor der venezolanischen Küste von der US-Marine beschlagnahmt wurde.. --- Russland verkauft weniger Öl zu niedrigeren Preisen..

Oil Prices Poised to Keep Falling With World Awash in Supply (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Old and new oil producers alike are ramping up output as sanctioned barrels from Russia search for buyers, putting a record 1.3 billion barrels of crude on the world's oceans. Benchmark oil prices are heading for their biggest annual loss since the pandemic, while US gasoline at the pump is less than $3 a gallon for the first time since 2021. The drop is good news for consumers and the politicians who've made a point of addressing their cost-of-living concerns, including US President Donald Trump. But it's also an economic threat to some of the largest producers, like Russia and Saudi Arabia. Oil is as cheap as it was about a decade ago, without adjusting for inflation. Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Energy and Commodities Americas Simon Casey joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)...

Russia's Oil Exports Face Delays As Tankers Take 70% Longer Route
By Charles Kennedy of OilPrice.com
Oil tankers carrying Russian oil appear to be avoiding the fastest Black Sea route to the Turkish straits and travel along the Georgian and Turkish coasts to avoid drone attacks from Ukraine, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
In recent weeks, several ships linked to Russia have been hit by Ukrainian drones in the Black Sea. All targeted vessels were empty at the time of the strikes.
At least two tankers that have loaded oil from Novorossiysk, the Russian port on the Black Sea, have recently traveled along the Georgian and Turkish coasts instead of taking the shortest route to the Bosphorus Strait, according to the data compiled by Bloomberg.
The detour along the Georgian and Turkish coasts would add about 350 miles, or 70%, to the journey of an oil tanker from the port of Novorossiysk to the Turkish straits.
Crude oil exports from the Russian terminals on the Bla...
