U.S. broadens sanctions against Russian gas pipeline project
Oct. 20, 2020 10:22 AM ET|About: Public Joint Stock Company ... (OGZPY)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor

The U.S. State Department has broadened the scope of sanctions targeting the Gazprom-led (OTCPK:OGZPY) Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, which is 100 miles short of completion beneath the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany.

New State Department guidelines expand upon last year's measure, saying sanctions would apply to companies providing services, facilities or funding for "upgrades or installation of equipment" for vessels that would work on Nord Stream 2.

Last year's sanctions against companies providing deep-sea pipe-laying vessels caused the project's key ship to depart, and the new guidance takes aim at the Russian ship that some U.S. officials tracking the project believe Nord Stream 2 has selected as a replacement vessel.

Gazprom's Nord Stream 2 partners are Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Germany's Uniper (OTC:UNPPY) and BASF (OTCQX:BASFY), Austria's OMV (OTCPK:OMVJF) and France's Engie (OTCPK:ENGIY).

The expanded sanctions are the latest obstacle for the project, following the poisoning of Russian opposition political figure Alexei Navalny in August, which raised calls within Germany to distance itself from it.

Nigeria pays $3B to oil majors, moving closer to ending arrears
Oct. 20, 2020 9:15 AM ET|About: Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor

Nigeria's government says it has reimbursed $3B to oil companies including Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), moving closer to clearing operating expense arrears owed since 2010.

The payments are being settled through a five-year crude oil sales deal agreed in 2016, Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. says, adding that it still owes $917M to Shell, $385M to Eni (NYSE:E), $304M to Total (NYSE:TOT) and $55M to Chevron (NYSE:CVX).

NNPC operates joint ventures with the producers, which pump 80% of Nigeria's output.

Lower revenue and demands for other payments hurt NNPC's ability to contribute its share of expenses during 2010-15, leading to the arrears.

Linde and Shell team up to commercialize lower-carbon technology for ethylene



By NS Energy Staff Writer 16 Oct 2020

Technology could lead to lower carbon emissions, offers a catalytic alternative to steam cracking


Linde and Shell team up to commercialize lower-carbon technology for ethylene.

Linde GmbH and Shell today announce an exclusive collaboration agreement on ethane-oxidative dehydrogenation (E-ODH) technology for ethylene production. The catalytic process is an alternative route to ethane steam cracking, offering the potential of economic advantages, acetic acid co-production and significantly lower overall carbon footprint through electrification of power input.

The two companies have been developing E-ODH independently for many years and this new collaboration brings together their complementary patent positions, expert know-how and common commitment to a lower-carbon future. The agreement will enable accelerated deployment of this novel technology across the wider chemicals sector, with Linde marketing to customers under the name EDHOX.

“With the EDHOX™ process, we have not only developed a cost-efficient alternative but are also providing the petrochemical industry with a low-emission process”, said John van der Velden, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Technology at Linde Engineering.“ For decades, we have been actively developing technologies for more sustainability in this industry – from efficiency improvements to carbon management and new process routes. We are convinced that Linde´s EDHOX technology position will be strengthened by Shell´s intellectual property and know-how in this area.”

Thomas Casparie, Executive Vice President of Shell’s global chemicals business, said: “Base chemicals are transformed into a range of finished products that help society live, work and respond to climate change. We look forward to our Shell in-house innovation going on to contribute to the collective reduction of carbon emissions from the manufacture of chemicals. It’s been great to work with Linde on this ambitious and creative combination of technology.”

Prelude FLNG restart not likely before year-end

October 19, 2020 Asia, Company News, Infrastructure, Natural Gas, News 0

Shell Australia confirmed last week full production at its operated Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project isn’t expected before year-end, Kallanish Energy reports.

The Australian gas project was shutdown in February after an electrical trip, which compromised back-up diesel generators and the safe operation of the facility. Then, Shell adjusted shipping schedule and suspended cargoes.

On Thursday, the operator said it continues to work through the process for hydrocarbon restart, “with safety and stability foremost in mind.”

“Prelude is a multi-decade project, and our focus is on delivering sustained performance over the long term,” Shell said in a brief statement.

The facility can produce 3.6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, 1.3 Mtpa of condensate and 0.4 Mtpa of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Oil shortage ahead?

Aramco: supply crunch on under-investment; IEA, OPEC pare recovery views

Steve Sutherlin

An oil shortage may be in the works due to underinvestment in the energy sector and rising demand, Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said Oct. 13.

“There is a concern that we might end up with a supply crunch over the mid to long term if this level of investment is not corrected looking forward,” Nasser said in remarks to the Energy Intelligence Forum.

Nasser’s remarks came as the International Energy Agency and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries separately released revised projections which reflected an incremental bearish shift in outlook for oil market recovery.

Nasser said demand is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic slump.

“The worst is definitely behind us,” Nasser said. “We are seeing a recovery; most of the demand comes from the developing countries. We see a big pickup from East Asia - especially China.”

Aramco slashed its 2020 investment by $8 billion, versus 2019 spending of $25 billion to $30 billion.

Global energy investment this year is set to fall by 18%, the IEA said in its 2020 World Energy Outlook - released Oct. 13.

Global energy demand in 2020 is poised to fall 5%, led by an 8% drop in oil demand and a 7% drop in coal use, the agency said, adding that natural gas demand is set for a 3% drop and global electricity demand is expected to fall only 2%.

In its report, the IEA advanced a 10-year scenario in which COVID-19 is brought under control and the global economy rebounds to pre-crisis levels in 2021.

An alternate “delayed recovery scenario” reflects a prolonged pandemic with the economy returning to pre-crisis size in 2023, under which the pandemic ushers in a decade with the lowest rate of energy demand growth since the 1930s.

Pre-crisis, energy demand was projected to grow by 12% between 2019 and 2030, but the projection now has fallen to 9%, and to only 4% in the delayed recovery scenario.

In both scenarios, oil demand flattens out in the 2030s, but in a delayed recovery, an additional 4 million barrels per day comes out of the projections, holding total demand under 100 million bpd.

Behavioral changes resulting from the pandemic cut both ways, the agency said.

The longer the disruption, the more some changes become ingrained, such as working from home or avoiding air travel, it said. However, oil consumption benefits from a near-term aversion to public transport, the popularity of SUVs and the delayed replacement of older, inefficient vehicles.

Absent a larger shift in policies, it is still too early to foresee a rapid decline in oil demand, the IEA said, adding that rising incomes in emerging market and developing economies portend strong underlying demand for mobility, offsetting reductions in oil use elsewhere.

Oil use for cars peaks in both scenarios, due to continued improvements in fuel efficiency and sales of electric cars, while oil use for longer-distance freight and shipping varies according to the outlook for the global economy and international trade, the agency said.

Oil demand will increasingly depend on its rising use as a feedstock in the petrochemical sector, it said.

“With demand in advanced economies on a declining trend, all of the increase comes from emerging market and developing economies, led by India,” the agency said. “The slower pace of energy demand growth puts downward pressure on oil and gas prices compared with pre-crisis trajectories, although the large falls in investment in 2020 also increase the possibility of future market volatility.”

OPEC trims growth projections
Spot crude oil prices averaged sharply lower in September, after four consecutive months of gains, OPEC said Oct. 13 in its Monthly Oil Market Report.

The decline reflected a softening recovery of physical crude market fundamentals, bearish sentiment in the crude oil futures market amid new COVID-19 cases globally, and concerns about demand.

Moving with other benchmark crudes, the OPEC reference basket value softened in September by $3.65 to $41.54 per barrel, down by 8.1%.

Hedge funds and other money managers were less bullish on the oil price outlook in September and were net sellers of about 113 million barrels of crude in both Brent and West Texas Intermediate, OPEC said, adding that the Brent and WTI futures markets moved into a steeper contango.

The expected recovery in transportation fuel demand over the summer driving season disappointed, requiring a downward demand revision to Europe and the Americas for the second half of 2020.

Better-than-expected data from China, showing gains in industrial fuel use, “more than offset some of the losses seen in other regions,” OPEC said.

In 2021, the world oil demand forecast was adjusted lower by 0.08 million from the previous month’s report due to the slower economic growth projections.

The OPEC forecast for 2021 oil demand growth is now 6.5 million bpd, with global total demand estimated to reach 96.8 million bpd.

All products are projected to see growth, given the current year’s low demand levels, OPEC said.

“Oil demand growth in 2021 is expected to be capped by a number of factors, including the increase in teleworking and distance education; reduced international business and leisure travel; efficiency gains in the transportation sector; oil substitution policies in power generation; and reduced fuel subsidies,” it said.

On Oct. 13, Alaska North Slope, WTI and Brent crudes climbed further into the lower $40s after recent forays into the upper $30s, with ANS closing up 86 cents to $41.35 per barrel. Brent continued upward in Oct. 14 trading 98 cents to $43.43, and WTI rose 84 cents to $41.04.

16:06 GMT-- Energy companies need to look beyond gas stations for opportunities to provide customers with services, says Royal Dutch Shell PLC chief executive Ben van Beurden. Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum, he says, "In some cases we've even gone into other offerings like broadband, I'm not suggesting that is going to be a mainstream business for us, but it shows you can leverage your customer platform in multiple ways and now think how that is going to go in the next generation of out of home charging, destination charging, on the go charging, maybe hydrogen... or other services that you can think of in the energy transition." Shell has used its retail footprint in some countries to get into the domestic power supply business, he adds. (sarah.mcfarlane@wsj.com)
