 I had the pleasure of participating in a media interview with Al-Arabiya Business to discuss the latest developments in the oil and gas sector amid the current escalation of the U.S.–Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime shipping. The discussion addressed the potential consequences of such a disruption, particularly the risk of supply shortages in global energy markets and the resulting implications for oil prices in the short and long term.

 

During the interview, we covered several key themes, including:

1.  Potential closure scenarios of the Strait of Hormuz and their impact on global oil prices.

2.  The market implications of the announcement by the International Energy Agency regarding the largest coordinated release of strategic reserves in its history, amounting to 400 million barrels.

3.  The economic consequences of a prolonged conflict for both the regional and global economies.

4.  The ability of certain Gulf countries to continue exporting crude oil despite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

تشرفت بالمشاركة في لقاء إعلامي مع قناة العربية Business للحديث عن آخر المستجدات في قطاع النفط و الغاز في ظل التطورات الحالية في الحرب الامريكية علي ايران و اغلاق مضيق هرمز أمام سفن النقل البحري و ما قد يترتب علي أثره من نقص المعروض في الأسواق العالمية و أثر ذلك علي أسعار النفط الان و في المستقبل.

 

وتطرّقنا خلال الحوار إلى عدد من المحاور، أبرزها:

 

1.   سيناريوهات الاغلاق المحتملة و تاثيرها علي أسعار النفط

2.   تأثير اعلان الوكالة الدولية للطاقة علي أكبر اطلاق للمخزونات في تاريخهابمقدار 400 مليون برميل علي الأسعار

3.   تأثير إطالة أمد الحرب علي اقتصاد المنطقة و العالم

4.   قدرة بعض دول الخليج العربي علي استمرارها في تصدير الخام علي الرغم من اغلاق مضيق هرمز

The Global LNG Industry: Navigating Investment Challenges Amid Market Evolution The global LNG industry has evolved rapidly over the past two decades, especially in recent years, taking center stage in the energy security policies of importing nations. Natural gas producers increasingly view LNG as a safer and more flexible option that allows them to reach a broader consumer base, extending beyond regional markets despite the added cost of liquefaction.  Simultaneously, importing countries have leveraged LNG to diversify supply risks by engaging with a wider base of producers. Today, LNG offers both producers and consumers a level of flexibility approaching that of the oil industry. With over 100 nations worldwide committed to NetZero by 2050 and many of them have set their targets. One of these relatively easy target is to shift from Coal based or heavy hydrocarbon based power generation to the natural gas where LNG is available in the spot market. We also find a country like USA ...

According to World LNG Report 2025 by International Gas Union, Among the liquefaction trains that became operational in 2024: 1. Plaquemines LNG T1-T8 in the United States adopted Baker Hughes' single-cycle mixed refrigerant (SCMR) technology,  2. Altamira LNG T1 in Mexico adopted New Fortress Energy's Fast LNG technology 3. Congo Marine XII FLNG in Congo adopted Black & Veatch's poly refrigerant integrated cycle operations (PRICO) technology. 4. Corpus Christi Stage 3 T1 in the United States has adopted ConocoPhillips' Optimized Cascade technology.  5. Arctic LNG 2 T1 in Russia has chosen Linde's mixed fluid cascade (MFC) technology. However, the situation for Arctic LNG remains uncertain due to difficulties in securing suppliers.  Currently, Air Products' (AP) liquefaction technologies still dominate the market in liquefaction methodology, representing about 66% of the total operational capacity in 2024, while AP-C3MR hold about a 55% share. Air Products T...

In the process industry, and specifically in the oil and gas sector, the continuous availability of essential utilities is crucial for maintaining process continuity. Electricity supply, in particular, represents lifeline of any process plant also a significant cost item. As a result, many operating companies choose to generate their own power and remain almost off-grid to ensure stable operations and insulate themselves from potential power disruptions. In Abu Dhabi, the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant was commissioned in stages: Unit 1 began operations in August 2020, Unit 2 in September 2021, Unit 3 in October 2022, and Unit 4 in March 2024. The plant has significantly contributed to providing a stable and reliable power supply—not only for domestic use and small- to medium-sized industrial facilities, but also for large, energy-intensive industries like the LNG processing plant. It is also considered a source of clean energy, as it emits no greenhouse gases, thus supporting the UAE’s c...
