Soaring natural gas prices are likely to send the cost of electricity 20% to 30% higher at the wholesale level in New York this winter, as a result of higher demand and the energy market disruption caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, said Richard Dewey, CEO of the state's power grid operator. The cost of natural gas scheduled for delivery to New York City in January is already 60% higher than it was a year ago.
Record freight rates for Aframax tankers and disrupted loading operations due to bad weather could lead...
Record freight rates for Aframax tankers and disrupted loading operations due to bad weather could lead to a decline in US crude oil exports in December and cause ships to pile up off the US Gulf Coast waiting to load. Census Bureau data show that the US exported 3.47 million barrels per day in the first nine months of the year and is poised for a fresh record.

US shale producers such as Pioneer Natural Resources and Devon Energy are addressing the well productivity challenge with plans to drill longer laterals, increase contiguous acreage positions, optimize well spacing and focus on stacked developments. "Importantly, this resource capture allows us to sustain a high-margin production from these assets for many years to come and does not require us to accelerate drilling activity across other parts of the portfolio to maintain our overall production capacity," said Devon CEO Rick Muncrief.
