The impoverished tiny South American country of Guyana has emerged as one of the continent’s top oil producers and is poised to become a leading global energy exporter. Since 2015 an Exxon Mobil-led consortium has made a swathe of high-quality oil discoveries in offshore Guyana in the 6.6-million-acre Stabroek Block, with the latest announced in July 2022. It is estimated those finds have uncovered nearly 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources in the Stabroek Block with further oil discoveries to come. Exxon, the operator who…

Exxon CEO Pushes Back On Biden''s Plan To Limit Fuel Exports First it was Chevon''s CEO reaching out to warn President Biden about the administration''s action again oil companies. Now, it''s Exxon warning the President about limiting fuel exports. Exxon is "pushing back" against the idea of reducing U.S. fuel exports, telling President Biden''s Energy Department this week that such actions would lead to continued volatility in oil prices globally, and at the pump domestically, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal . Exxon said that "the oil industry should not slow fuel shipments in favor of putting more in storage tanks", the Journal report says. Exxon argued that cutting exports would lead to a glut in the Gulf Coast which would then, in turn, prompt output cuts. The concerns were laid out in a letter this week signed by Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods. Woods wrote: “Continuing current Gulf Coast exports is essential to efficiently rebalance markets—particularly with diverted Russian supplies.

Oil prices have fallen from their March highs as demand concerns amid a possible economic downturn have been a drag. As per Reuters, Goldman Sachs lowered its 2023 oil price forecast by $19 per barrel (on average) for the period from Q4 2022 to Q4 2023, reflecting expectations of lower demand and a strong U.S. dollar. That said, the investment bank continues to have a bullish long-term outlook supported by global supply issues amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis.

Biden Draining SPR Like "Campaign Credit Card" For Midterms President Biden''s reckless draining of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is nothing more than an election-year gimmick akin to using a ''credit card'' to buy votes, according to Tim Stewart, president of the US Oil and Gas Association. According to data from the Department of Energy, stocks of crude oil in the SPR hit their lowest levels since 1984 for the week ending Sept. 16. "This is the first time in history, honestly, that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been used as a campaign credit card to buy down political risk for the midterms ," Stewart told Just the News . "Let me put it in perspective if I could," he continued. " At the current rate, the U.S. is selling more oil out of its emergency reserves than the production of most medium-sized OPEC countries like Algeria or Angola . We''re selling twice as much per day than we''re producing out of Alaska. That puts us somewhere between Exxon and Conoco in terms of … the impact we''re having on the daily supply — and this is happening without new oil going into replace it." The conversation then turned to ''energy expert'' Hunter Biden , who host John Solomon asked for Stewart''s reaction to "the idea that the president''s son ... could be working behind the scenes quietly to take our great energy wealth, send it over to China, while the boss, the president, the ''Big Guy'' that they refer to in the documents, he''s trying to lower our reliance [on fossil fuels] and keep us from using our energy wealth here." Stewart, who noted that the oil and gas trading industry is "very, very complex," replied: "I''ve been in this business for 25 years or so.

These are seven of the best stocks to buy that can see substantial returns in the months ahead. Despite the ongoing worries on Wall Street, seasoned investors realize that there may be a bull market in some segments of the market even during these gloomy weeks. Fears of sticky inflation and recession led to many investors reevaluating their investments or pulling their money out of the stock markets altogether. As a result, the S&P 500 index has dropped 23% year to date, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 has lost close to a third of its value. However, for investors who research further, there is always a chance to find the best stocks to buy in a hidden bull market. Including several of those shares could help boost the performance of investment portfolios despite the overall market chaos. Even in 2022, with interest rates hitting a 14-year high in the U.S. and stocks getting hammered, we are experiencing localized bull markets in the energy and utility sectors. For instance, the energy sector, overall, has returned around 18% since January.

Forecasters warned Monday that Hurricane Ian would "continue rapidly strengthening" and approach the west coast of Florida on Wednesday into Thursday. Shares of Chevron have gained 22% so far this year, contrasting with losses of around 23% for the S&P 500 index in the same period.

Although arguably most folks hate the political season due to the back-and-forth mudslinging that materializes, investors will want to pay close attention to the 2022 midterm elections. According to historical data, the midterms broadly kick off superior market performance. Per U.S. Bank’s wealth management arm, “When the analysts looked at data around midterm elections (elections held in between presidential elections), they found that the S&P 500 consistently outperformed in the year after midterms compared with non-midterm years. Just like presidential elections, which party controls Congress generally was not a factor in projecting overall equity market performance.” Also, on a historical note, U.C. Santa Barbara notes that rarely does the sitting president’s party gain seats in both houses of Congress. Therefore, the narrative suggests that Republicans may have a big day for the upcoming 2022 midterm elections. In addition, stocks widely may swing higher. If this circumstance pans out – and please be aware no guarantee exists – then specific stocks just might outperform others.

Today’s article introduces seven robust stocks to buy ahead of earnings. Given the unprecedented tightening by the Federal Reserve, investors are worried that the overall corporate profitability could further deteriorate in the third quarter. A recent Factset Research Systems (NYSE: FDS ) report highlights “the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&P 500” for the third quarter has declined to 3.5%.

DOHA: France’s TotalEnergies on Saturday signed a further $1.5 billion investment in Qatar’s natural gas production expansion, which comes as Europe scrambles to find new energy sources to replace Russian supplies. The French energy giant will have 9.3 percent stake in the North Field South gas project, the first foreign partner in that section of the vast field, Qatar Energy Minister Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi announced, at a news conference alongside TotalEnergies chief executive Patrick Pouyanne. “Qatar Energy announces the selection of TotalEnergies as a partner for the development of the North Field South,” Qatar’s official news agency QNA said. “New partners will be announced at a later stage.” Kaabi said TotalEnergies would also help to finance the extraction of gas from North Field South, for which 25 percent would be reserved for foreign energy firms. The French firm would take on an “enhanced strategic” role in Qatar’s gas expansion, he added. In June, TotalEnergies agreed a $2-billion deal to take part in the giant North Field East project, that will help Qatar increase its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production by more than 60 percent by 2027.

In the 2020s, investors are torn between two schools of thought. On one side are your parents and grandparents, who did just fine over the years investing in classic energy companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY). On the other hand, new energy firms like Tesla (TSLA), Plug Power (PLUG), and First Solar (FSLR) are grabbing the headlines and capturing the attention of younger traders.

It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all amounts to a windfall for an industry that was decimated during the pandemic when oil prices finished 2020 below $50 per barrel. The strong earnings have led to outperformance among energy stocks this year, with many share prices up 25%, 50%, even 100%. Oil stocks have been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for equities. While some analysts continue to debate whether oil prices have peaked, the consensus view is that the earnings of oil companies will remain strong through the remainder of this year. With that in mind, here are seven energy stocks primed for a Q3 earnings gusher.

The content originally appeared on: CNN London (CNN Business)Rich economies should hit oil and gas companies with new windfall taxes to provide help for countries suffering from climate change, and people struggling with soaring energy and food bills, UN Secretary General Ant?nio Guterres said Tuesday. The UN chief accused energy giants of “feasting on hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and windfall profits while household budgets shrink and our planet burns.” Guterres’ comments, at the UN General Assembly in New York, come on the heels of a European Union proposal to introduce a windfall tax on oil, gas and coal companies, many of which have reported record-high profits as Russia’s war in Ukraine and an energy crunch send prices soaring. The European Commission is proposing that EU states take a 33% share of the companies’ surplus profits. The United Kingdom introduced a 25% windfall tax earlier this year to provide relief for people struggling with their energy bills but newly installed Prime Minister Liz Truss has said she won’t extend it to pay for a much bigger program of subsidies this winter and next .

Escobar: ''Samarkand Spirit'' To Be Driven By "Responsible Powers" Russia & China Authored by Pepe Escobar, The SCO summit of Asian power players delineated a road map for strengthening the multipolar world… Amidst serious tremors in the world of geopolitics, it is so fitting that this year’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) heads of state summit should have taken place in Samarkand – the ultimate Silk Road crossroads for 2,500 years. When in 329 BC Alexander the Great reached the then Sogdian city of Marakanda, part of the Achaemenid empire, he was stunned: “Everything I have heard about Samarkand it’s true, except it is even more beautiful than I had imagined.” Fast forward to an Op-Ed by Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev published ahead of the SCO summit, where he stresses how Samarkand now “can become a platform that is able to unite and reconcile states with various foreign policy priorities.” After all, historically, the world from the point of view of the Silk Road landmark has always been “perceived as one and indivisible, not divided.

PARIS: Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz says the world’s energy giants should pay a special tax on their massive profits. To him, the companies “didn’t do anything to deserve” the windfall. Oil and gas firms have raked in huge profits this year as energy prices have surged over supply fears after Russia, a major producer of the fossil fuels, invaded Ukraine in late February. “Sometimes we have this discussion: Are profits exploitation or are profits the just deserts of having invested more, putting out more effort,” Stiglitz said in an interview with AFP in Paris. “This is a particular case where there is no debate,” the 2001 Nobel winner said. “It is very clear that the oil companies didn’t do anything to deserve the high oil prices. It was (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine that was at the source of the problem,” Stiglitz said. The main international oil contract reached almost $140 per barrel in March, though it has since fallen under $100. Gas prices jumped to a record 345 euros per megawatt hours that same month.
