The message from Gastech 2025 was unmistakable: LNG remains the bedrock of energy security, but its future credibility rests on the whole industry’s demonstrable resilience. Climate shocks, cyber threats, the pace of renewables, AI's growing power demand, and looming price volatility expose deep global imbalances.
In his monthly exclusive column for Energy Connects, Gaurav Sharma explains how the Middle East, long dominated by Iran and Qatar in natural gas, is witnessing a surge of investment and production from regional oil powerhouses like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, positioning the region to rival North America and potentially surpass Asia as a leading global gas hub by 2030.
In her exclusive monthly column, Vandana Hari, Founder and CEO of Vanda Insights, unpacks the record 610,000 b/d gap between OPEC and IEA’s 2025 oil demand growth forecasts, with OPEC projecting stronger consumption and tighter balances, while the IEA anticipates weaker emerging market demand, higher non-OPEC supply, and prolonged oversupply, leaving market participants without a clear consensus.

Rather than refining and reinforcing the existing sanctions regime, the European Union's latest sanctions package on Russia has opted to layer on complexity without coherence. The new measures appear untethered from the practicalities of enforcement or the realities of global energy trade, writes Vandana Hari in her latest column.
In his exclusive monthly column, Robin M. Mills explains why OPEC+ is ending its voluntary oil production cuts earlier than planned, boosting supply as the group positions itself for a stronger market role despite upcoming challenges.
Is $80 the new $100? In his latest column for Energy Connects in light of US airstrikes on Iran, Gaurav Sharma analyses why the oil market’s geopolitical risk premiums aren’t what they used to be
The EU's forthcoming regulation should not just be about forcing data centres to use less but empowering them to use smarter, experts say. The boom driven by AI could become an unlikely ally in the transition to a cleaner, more efficient energy system.
The outbreak of aerial warfare between Israel and Iran since June 13 and the resulting surge in crude’s risk premium is a stark reminder that no matter how carefully and dynamically market stakeholders calibrate global oil supply and demand fundamentals, geopolitical flashpoints can erupt without warning to upend all assumptions and strategies, writes Vandana Hari in her exclusive column for Energy Connects
