A country which is heavily import dependent for its crude oil supply to meets demand should have such aspirations, is it logical? In the latest episode of the EnergOnomics podcast, businessline's Richa Mishra speaks with Ellen R. Wald, President of Transversal Consulting, on India's goal to establish itself as a global refinery hub.  Drawing parallels with China's refinery strategy, Ellen emphasises the critical need for investment, and a customer base for such ventures.  Despite India relying heavily on crude oil imports, Ellen suggests that its economic structure has advantages over China's state-run model, potentially offering more profit for independent refiners.  India's closeness to energy-demanding regions like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa, along with the recent shift in European oil procurement away from Russia, provides a big market opportunity for Indian refined products.  Diplomacy plays a key role in the energy market. Ellen shares instances where strategic partnerships between governments and businesses have led to positive outcomes for both sides.  Listen in!

Global oil markets are starting 2022 with a number of factors that could make for another volatile year. OPEC is continuing its monthly supply increases but taking a cautious approach so far given uncertain demand. A return of Iran barrels is not a sure thing as the nuclear talks stretch into a second year. The US tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a big way at the end of last year, but that did little to soften prices. Russia-Ukraine tensions are at the forefront geopolitically, and they have potential to exacerbate European and global energy prices. We asked several oil market experts to weigh in on the same question: Will OPEC allow oil prices to reach $100/b in 2022? We heard from: • Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets (1:32) • Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy Group (3:57) • Rachel Ziemba of Ziemba Insights (6:54) • Dan Pickering of Pickering Energy Partners (7:52) • Jacques Rousseau, managing director of ClearView Energy Partners (9:43) • Ellen Wald, president of Transversal Consulting (10:44) • Nareeka Ahir, geopolitical analyst for S&P Global Platts Analytics (13:18) Stick around for Starr Spencer with the Market Minute on how US producers are looking at the year ahead.

The US is tapping its emergency reserves of oil as pressure mounts on the White House to address rising inflation in the world's largest economy. The unprecedented move is being co-ordinated with other major crude consumers struggling to cope with higher commodity prices. Washington has called on international oil cartel OPEC and its allies to raise production faster to meet growing demand, but those appeals have been ignored.

Oil prices have plunged by around 6-percent after the world's major exporters agreed to phase out production cuts implemented when the pandemic disrupted global fuel demand. Earlier, OPEC and its allies failed to reach a deal as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates disagreed on how much more oil each would be allowed to sell overseas. But as Mobin Nasir reports, demand for crude could take a hit just as its supplies are finally ramping up. For more on this, Ellen Wald joined us from Jacksonville, Florida. She's President of Transversal Consulting and is the author of Saudi Inc. #OPEC #Barrels #OilPrices

We begin with the international oil price benchmark Brent, which has soared to almost 78 dollars a barrel. That's after OPEC and its allies failed to strike a deal on production levels as the global economy recovers. At the heart of the matter is a dispute between two of the group's closest members, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Paolo Montecillo has the details. For more on this, we were joined by Ellen Wald. She's an energy industry analyst and the president of Transversal Consulting in Jacksonville, Florida. #BrentCrude #SaudiArabia #OilPrices #UAE

Brent crude hit 76 dollars a barrel on Thursday on the prospect of strengthening demand. Oil prices are increasing, even as OPEC and its allies consider boosting output over the next few months. Back in May 2020, the 24-nation group known as OPEC+ agreed to make historic output cuts of almost 10 million barrels per day. It slashed production as the coronavirus pandemic wiped out demand. The curbs were tapered to eight million barrels a day, in the last quarter of 2020. Ellen Wald joined us from Jacksonville, Florida.

The Colonial fuel pipeline, shut down by a cyber attack since Friday, serves 45% of America's east coast. A regional state of emergency has been declared, allowing tanker drivers to work extra hours to get some fuel where it's needed – but will they be able to keep up with demand? We ask Ellen R Ward, president of Transversal Consulting. Is it a surprise that criminals were able to hack into the system running the most important fuel pipeline in the United States?

Freezing weather in the US has boosted energy markets, including oil and gas prices.. as demand for fuel and power surges. A winter storm gripping parts of the South has halted oil wells and refineries in Texas, the biggest crude-producing state in the US. The weather has also forced restrictions on natural gas and crude pipeline operators. Around 3-million homes and businesses have been in the dark, as the state's electricity suppliers impose rotating blackouts to cope with the surge in demand. Paolo Montecillo has more.

Oil prices have sunk to an 18-year low as global demand collapses due to the coronavirus pandemic. Countries around the world, including the world's top oil consumers China and the US, have all but shut-down their economies to try to contain the outbreak. Oil is also under pressure from Saudi Arabia's price war with Russia and American producers, and that could drive some countries that depend on oil exports into economic ruin. Mobin Nasir reports.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk’s biggest fan in the investment world urged Tesla’s founder to stop his ideas of taking the company private. Catherine Wood of ARK Invest re-iterated her bullish earlier projections in an open letter on the money manager’s website where she reckons the company’s shares will be worth anything from $700 to $4,000 in five years. Musk, you may recall, threw any number of cats among Wall Street’s pigeons at the beginning of the month tweeting that he intended taking the company private at a price of $420 a share. After peaking fractionally below $380, the price has since fallen back to its current $320. Below the pre-tweet level and a long way from the “funding secured” price. So far, those who bet against Musk have been the big winners, with disclosed short sellers of Tesla stock making over $1bn in profit since his bombshell tweet. These cynics think Ms Wood’s valuations are a figment of an alternative reality. But where they do agree, although for different reasons, is that it’s very unlikely that Tesla will be going private. The main reason is that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, on which Musk is pinning his buyout hopes, doesn’t actually have the money to help him out - even if it wanted to pay $100 a share more than the current market price. The London Financial Times reported this morning that the Saudi Public Investment Fund has lined up a consortium of global banks to lend it $11bn simply to meet existing obligations. The PIF is quite clearly no white desert charger riding to Elon’s rescue… That’s the last bit of news Musk needs right now. Because a buyout by the Saudis was the only elegant way out of some very serious legal consequences of his ill advised tweet.
