  The only oil company that bought a single lease in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge early last year has canceled its lease, according to the U.S. Interior Department.
  
  The move by Regenerate Alaska is the latest example of the industry stepping away from possible oil and gas development in the 19-million-acre refuge.
  
  Hilcorp and Chevron have also canceled their interest in separate, older leases, on a small tract of Alaska Native corporation-owned land within the refuge's boundaries. Those oil companies spent $10 million to exit their deal with Arctic Slope Regional Corp.

• OPEC+ announced a big boost to oil output Thursday - but it may not be enough
  Even though it was larger than expected, the 648,000 barrel-per-day increase ...
  Even though it was larger than expected, the 648,000 barrel-per-day increase may not be enough to offset missing Russian barrels in the global market, according to the CEO of Hess.
  
  The release comes as US crude inventories have slipped, with EIA data showing that current stockpiles are some 15% below the five-year average for this time of year.
  
  Still, the OPEC+ announcement clears the way for Saudi Arabia to ramp up oil production to try and fill in for Russia's absence from the market. As concerns mount over a dire supply squeeze, sources told the Financial Times that the Kingdom is prepared to pump more crude.
  
  Saudi Arabia is aware of the risks in oil markets, and "that it is not in their interests to lose control of oil prices," a source told the FT.  With China potentially easing COVID lockdowns, questionable Russian output, and soaring gas prices in the US, the White House faces a complex task.  And, closer to home, consumers are still wondering why gas prices keep rising even in times when crude oil falls from record highs.

  Speaking at Bernstein's Annual Strategic Decisions conference, Chevron CEO Michael Wirth said oil, prices and refining margins will continue their upward march, but argued that introducing export limits to ease prices would be "an unwise move." Also present at the conference was EOG Resources CEO Ezra Yacob, who said global natural gas markets are undergoing "a bit of a structural change" that "has to do with coal-switching and obviously kind of an awakening, let's say, in Europe right now of realizing that policy was pushing the transition a little bit faster than technology could deliver."
