Supply chain problems are crippling the US oil industry's ability to quickly ramp up production in response to soaring prices, said Occidental Petroleum CEO Vicki Hollub at CERAWeek, calling the situation "dire." "The call for incremental production in the United States, at this point, especially with the supply chain challenges, can't happen at the level that's needed not only for our country but for the world," Hollub added.

US liquefied natural gas exporters shipped a record 164 cargoes to Europe and Turkey in the first two months of the year and are on track to export record volumes of LNG for a third consecutive month. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is exacerbating Europe's energy crisis, pushing LNG spot prices to an all-time high near $60 per million British thermal units late last week.

The energy sector is off to a lower start, pressured by weakness in the underlying commodities despite strength in the major equity futures which rose sharply as investors eyed diplomatic efforts to end Russia's attack on Ukraine, while Asian markets sank after Chinese inflation accelerated.
WTI and crude oil futures are down in early trading as some investors took the view that the U.S. ban on Russian oil may not worsen a supply shock. Oil also fell as the head of the IEA described the agency's decision last week to release 60 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves as "an initial response" and said that more could be released if needed. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday his government needed to tackle the long-term impacts of a spike in energy prices and he would set out a plan to help Britain become more independent in its energy generation in the next few days. In Asia, Beijing has told Chinese state refiners to consider suspending exports of gasoline and diesel in April as the Ukraine war heightens concerns of shortages. Asian supplies have been reduced by outages because of the refinery maintenance season and action by the Chinese government earlier in the year to prevent excessive production.
