Five reasons OPEC+ is right to proceed with its supply boost

The OPEC/non-OPEC alliance made the right decision on March 3 to proceed with a gradual tapering of the 2.2 million b/d of collective production cuts by eight members from April, after having postponed the tapering thrice last year. Though the move may have added to the downward pressure on crude, the main reason for Brent futures crashing through $70/barrel, a floor the alliance would likely want to defend, was the tariff wars unleashed by US President Donald Trump against Canada, Mexico and China.

Women in energy: busting some myths on what gets them in and moves them up

International Women’s Day always prompts contemplation, debates and discussions around how well workplaces around the world are empowering women and ensuring better gender balance through the corporate hierarchy.

After China, who will drive the global growth in oil demand?

The global oil market is at a historic inflection point on demand and there are no straight contenders for the driving seat being vacated by China, writes Vandana Hari in her latest column for Energy Connects. The two major consumption centres of US and OECD Europe are past their historical peaks and likely to see a plateau or slip into a gradual decline. Overall global oil consumption is likely to continue growing into next decade, but the momentum will be scattered across mid-sized and smaller emerging economies in Asia, Middle East, Africa and Latin America, making the trajectory less consistent and probably more unpredictable than the one hitherto shaped by China.

President Carter and America’s pioneering low-carbon energy legacy

In Dezhou, China, is an odd memorial to an American President. On display is a solar panel, one of three surviving from those famously installed on the White House roof by President Jimmy Carter. President Carter’s death on 29 December, aged 100, is a reminder of the energy path the US could have travelled, and that China did.
