• Libya Oil Output Up to 800,000 Barrels Daily, Minister Says
  Libya’s oil production has risen in the past week to around 700,000 to 800,000 barrels a day, according...
  Libya’s oil production has risen in the past week to around 700,000 to 800,000 barrels a day, according to Energy Minister Mohamed Oun.
  
  Libya’s decline in crude production has been steep, with the nation pumping an average of 1.2 million barrels a day just last year. Major importers in Europe were hoping it would be able to raise that figure to help counter supply constraints elsewhere. Oil prices have surged almost 50% in 2022 to $110 a barrel, mostly due to the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
  
  Libya’s oil output could plummet again in the next few days as Waha Oil Co., which operates in the east of the country, may have to halt production entirely due to protests, according to people familiar with the matter.

• China Buys $7.5 Billion of Russian Energy With Oil at Record

  (Bloomberg) -- China continued to snap up Russian energy products last month, including a record quantity of crude oil, lifting purchases to $7.47 billion -- about $1 billion more than April and double the amount of a year ago.
  
  The increase in shipments came as the war in Ukraine entered the fourth month and other buyers continued to shy away from Russian oil, gas and coal. Chinese demand also started to show some improvement as virus restrictions were loosened, easing logistical snarls and allowing industrial production to rebound.
  
  China’s total imports from Russia accelerated in May, surging 80% on year to $10.27 billion, as Beijing continues to offer support to an otherwise isolated government in Moscow.

• Gas prices are headed to $6 by Labor Day – here are the main reasons why
  President Biden’s ...
  President Biden’s recent letter to refiners to complain of high gasoline prices is the only positive action he can take on behalf of consumers. But it won’t keep the average price at the pump in the U.S. from climbing another dollar by September and topping $6.
  
  Here’s why: shrinking U.S. refining capacity even as oil CL output recovers from COVID-19 pandemic lows, and a well-known shift in European demand away from Russia has cut into U.S. stockpiles more deeply than many realize. Plus Biden’s ability to act is further limited by underappreciated policy decisions that, ironically, he helped to make.
