which will see its scalable technology ecosystem bolstered through investments in – and
acquisitions of – AI-enabled solutions and innovative technologies.
This award marks our latest endeavour to support the UAE's position as a trusted and reliable
energy provider and is a key step towards ensuring the nation's gas growth ambitions. The award
solidifies ADNOC Drilling's leadership in the regional market while also providing a strong new
revenue stream for the company.
This initial phase of unconventional development is expected to employ up to nine land rigs, of which
five are already included in ADNOC Drilling's fleet as of 31st December 2023. The contract is
expected to start contributing to ADNOC Drilling's revenue towards the second half of this year.
The company's full-year 2024 and mid-term guidance only captures this initial award, creating
significant potential upside to our business and financials in the mid to long-term.
Unconventional energy refers to oil and gas resources trapped in subsurface reservoirs requiring
additional technology and processes to unlock them. Today, Abu Dhabi holds an estimated 220
billion barrels of unconventional oil and 460 TCF of unconventional gas. The opportunity in
unconventional energy presents outstanding scale with the production potential comparable to
some of the most plentiful unconventional energy resources in the US.

QatarEnergy acquires stake in two Egypt offshore blocks
Staff Writer, Agence France-Presse (AFP)
QatarEnergy said Monday it had acquired two offshore gas exploration blocks from Egypt with a 40-
percent participating interest, in a deal with US multinational firm ExxonMobil.
Under the deal, the Qatari state-owned hydrocarbon giant will receive stakes in the Cairo and Masry
concessions off Egypt's north coast, with the operator ExxonMobil retaining 60 percent,
QatarEnergy said in a statement.
It did not disclose the cost of the agreement.
The two offshore exploration blocks were awarded to ExxonMobil in January 2023 and cover an
area of approximately 11,400 square kilometres (about 4,400 square miles) in water with a depth of
two to three kilometres.
QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi welcomed the expansion, promising collaboration with the
Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), Cairo's petroleum and mineral resources ministry
and ExxonMobil in the "promising and prospective region".
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Egyptian authorities and our partners for their
valuable support and cooperation," said Kaabi, who also serves as the Gulf nation's energy minister.

U.S Urged to Halt Oil Export Projects After Terminal Approved
(Bloomberg) + NewBae
Climate activists who successfully pushed President Joe Biden to halt new US liquefied natural gas
exports are setting their sights on proposed crude oil shipping facilities, after the administration
approved a massive petroleum terminal last month.
The administration should stop approvals of deepwater oil export facilities and reevaluate its
approval process, the Sierra Club wrote on behalf of nearly 20 environmental and community groups
in a letter Thursday to the White House and the Department of Transportation.
The department in April quietly approved a deepwater port off the coast of Texas proposed by
Enterprise Products Partners with the capacity to export 2 million barrels of oil a day. Three other
oil export projects — proposed by companies including Energy Transfer, Phillips 66, Trafigura Ltd,
and Sentinel Midstream LLC — are under review by the Transportation Department.

publication. However, no warranty is given to the accuracy of its content. Page 5
The administration’s move marked a major step forward for the export sector, which has grown
rapidly since the U.S. began to allow crude sales abroad in 2015, the same year that the U.S. helped
broker the Paris climate accord that called for dramatic reductions in global fossil fuel emissions.
The offshore oil export terminal, the first to be
approved of four proposed along Texas’ Gulf
Coast, will enable continued growth in U.S. shale
oil production and in global consumption, dealing a
substantial setback to the White House’s goals for
drastic cuts in carbon emissions by year 2030.
“Up to this point, DOT has failed to meaningfully
evaluate the wide-ranging harms of licensing
massive deepwater crude export facilities in the
Gulf of Mexico and the significant upstream
production and global consumption the projects
would induce,” said Devorah Ancel, a senior
attorney with the Sierra Club, in a release. “Just like with liquefied gas exports, these projects pose
serious threats to the climate, vulnerable communities and ecosystems, public health, and national
security.”
In response, the Transportation Department said extensive environmental reviews are already
required to obtain a license for a deepwater port. The Enterprise Products project was approved
after reviews concluded it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional
crude oil loading and ship-to-ship transfers while making oil transport safer, according to the
department.
Approval of the Enterprise project, known as the Sea Port Oil Terminal, comes amid a record oil
export boom in the US. The terminal would be only the fourth in the US to load supertankers, the
ships that make long-haul voyages to clients in Asia more economical. It would also result in
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 90 new coal-fired plants over its 30-year license, according
to the Sierra Club.
Activists who celebrated the White House’s decision in late January to halt liquefied natural gas
export permits while it reevaluates their effects on climate change say oil export facilities will lock in
decades of carbon emissions while adding to the environmental injustices the Biden administration
has pledged to fight.
“It was just shocking to see him make this decision,” said Cassidy DiPaola, a spokeswoman for
Fossil Free Media, a non-profit advocacy group. “It was really a major betrayal to front-line
communities.”
Biden has come under increasing pressure to limit crude and natural gas exports prior to the
November election, and his January pause on LNG export permits was considered as a way to
appease young, climate-minded voters who felt alienated by his administration’s approval of the $8
billion Willow oil development in Alaska last year. But he also faces pressure from voters to keep
gasoline prices low. Exporting more US crude into the international petroleum market can help do
that, by lowering crude prices.
“It’s true that under-30 voters can make the difference at the margin in close swing states, but if
gasoline prices keep rising, those swing states won’t be close,” said Kevin Book, managing director
of consulting firm ClearView Energy Partners. “From a political perspective, the White House wants
to win over young voters, but the White House needs to look like they are taking action on high
gasoline prices.”

UK Drops Hydrogen Town in Blow for Using Fuel in Home Heating
(Bloomberg) + NewBase
The UK government scrapped plans for a “hydrogen town” pilot, in another setback for the country’s
plans to use the fuel to decarbonize its heating systems.
The UK has been exploring hydrogen’s potential to replace gas — which heats most British homes
— but trials in Redcar and Whitby have already been canceled after local opposition. It still plans to
make a decision in 2026 on whether hydrogen has a role to play in large-scale residential heating,
according to a statement on Thursday from the government.
Rishi Sunak has been slammed by his climate advisers after softening parts of the UK’s green
agenda last year. The prime minister has argued the UK is overachieving on its green goals and
can afford to slow down on renewable energy, efficient boilers and home insulation, but he’s also
been accused of trying to weaponize net zero ahead of elections this year.
Decarbonizing home heating is one of the steepest hills the UK has to climb to reach net zero
because the housing stock is warmed predominantly by gas and, in some cases, oil boilers. The
country is also lagging behind other European nations in installing heat pumps.
Some industry experts said consideration of hydrogen for home heating has been as a distraction,
and welcomed the decision to shelve the pilot project.
“Today’s decision makes clear that all attention and investment should be focused on readily
available clean heat solutions, like heat pumps and heat networks,” said Juliet Phillips, UK energy
program lead at climate change think tank E3G.

China Takes Advantage of Cheap Gas and Coal to Rebuild Stocks
(Bloomberg)
China is taking advantage of lower international prices for coal and natural gas to replenish
stockpiles of power fuels ahead of another long, hot summer.
Gas imports through the end of April jumped 21% from the previous year, while coal purchases
climbed 13%. The increase in coal in particular has defied predictions that imports would moderate
from last year’s record-setting pace, and comes after domestic production posted its first quarterly
drop since the third quarter of 2020.
Coal miners are wrestling with heightened scrutiny on safety after a spate of fatal accidents, as well
as depleting quality after the rush to expand capacity in recent years. Producers of China’s mainstay
fuel are also putting limits on output growth as Beijing’s deadline to peak coal consumption by 2025
approaches.
That’s forcing utilities to lean more heavily on imports, an advantage given relatively lower fuel costs
on the global market. The Japan-Korea marker for liquefied natural gas, Asia’s benchmark,
averaged just over $9 per million British thermal units in the first quarter, down from $18 in the same
period in 2023. Newcastle coal futures in major exporter Australia averaged $127 a ton, from $236
in the prior year.
Ensuring power supplies has been a priority for policymakers since a series of embarrassing
shortages in 2021 and 2022 forced widespread factory shutdowns. Meanwhile, another unusually
hot summer in the northern hemisphere is forecast, which is likely to raise demand for
airconditioning in coming months.
Even as China has dramatically ramped up wind and solar in recent years, its power demand,
including from electric vehicles, continues to outpace new supply, creating an ever greater need for
fossil fuels. This year China’s power consumption is expected to increase 8% in the first half, with

peak demand expected to surpass last year’s record by 100 gigawatts — the equivalent of adding
Australia to the grid.
Still, there are signs the country may have reached a tipping point where new clean energy
installations are enough to meet additional usage, which will push fossil fuels and their emissions
into a long-term decline. Gas and coal prices have also inched up in recent weeks, leading some
gas buyers to offer to resell summer cargoes, suggesting that the surge in imports may cool.

EU Sanctions on Russian LNG Would Mean for Global Gas
(Bloomberg)
Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe and its allies have looked for ways to curb
Moscow’s fossil fuel revenues without inflicting higher energy costs on their own citizens. The latest
plan: ban use of European Union ports for re-exporting liquefied natural gas.
Russian producer Novatek PJSC relies on stopovers in the EU to move Arctic fuel from ice-class
ships onto conventional tankers. While choking off its access won’t prevent cargoes from reaching
Europe — where LNG imports from Russia have actually increased in the aftermath of the war — it
will make it harder to send them onward to third countries in Asia, potentially angering key buyers
such as China or India.
EU policymakers are discussing the move as part of their 14th package of sanctions against Russia.
While it isn’t an outright ban, it would mark the first time Europe enforces concrete measures against
Russian LNG.
If approved, the measure may lead to even more Russian fuel circulating in Europe. It would also
likely trigger contractual challenges for European logistics firms and political backlash from other
gas-buying nations.

What exactly will be sanctioned?
To optimize shipping costs, the Arctic-based Yamal LNG project — led by Novatek — relies on the
ports of Zeebrugge in Belgium and Montoir in France to transfer cargoes from its 15 ice-class
vessels onto conventional tankers. Typically, an arriving ship discharges at the terminal and a
standard LNG carrier loads at about the same time. That will no longer be possible under the ban.
For Yamal LNG, the stopovers are necessary to allow highly-specialized vessels to return to the
Arctic plant, where conditions are too harsh for regular ones. Ship-tracking data indicate that up to
eight Russian cargoes are transshipped in Europe in some months, although the number varies and
drops significantly during summer and autumn, when the Northern Sea Route across the Arctic has
less ice and provides faster access to China.
What will it mean for European LNG purchases?
EU imports of Russian LNG totaled 14.4 million tons last year, according to consultant Energy
Aspects Ltd. Transshipments, where the fuel is transferred, made up 2 million tons. A likely scenario
is that a ban will lead to those extra volumes remaining in the bloc, where Russian LNG already
holds a share of about 13%.
For example, Novatek could unload cargoes meant for Asia in Europe and use locational swaps,
said James Waddel, head of European gas and global LNG at Energy Aspects. This means it would
source gas elsewhere to supply Asian customers.
As a result, that “would open up European governments to accusations that they are turning up their
Russian LNG supply while claiming they are trying to minimize it,” Waddel said.
Will Russian LNG production suffer?
The sanctions would further complicate shipping logistics for Russia and force specialized vessels
to travel over longer routes. Global fleets are already avoiding the Red Sea after attacks by Yemen’s
Houthis, forcing journeys to reroute around Africa. Taking Yamal LNG cargoes directly to Asia would
raise freight and logistics costs, according to Energy Aspects, and also tie up the icebreakers for
longer.
Russia does have some alternatives: it conducts ship-to-ship transfers near its northern city of
Murmansk, which it could use to free up vessels. It can also make use of its Northern Sea Route
during summer when ice melts and a variety of ships can access the plant.
If alternative shipping arrangements fail, Russian LNG exports may be reduced. But the country has
been pretty resourceful in getting around Western sanctions on oil.
What will the ban mean for Asian customers?
Russian LNG exports to Asian buyers could decline or become more expensive to account for higher
freight costs, according to Energy Aspects.
In an extreme scenario, “if Novatek were unable to reconfigure its logistics and Russian LNG exports
were shut in, Europe would be disrupting a Russian supply contract with China for 3 million tons per
year, which may generate a political backlash from China,” Waddel said.
Relying on the Northern Sea Route or Murmansk transshipment would also depend on ice
conditions, shifting supplies to Asia to the second half of each calendar year, he added.
How would European companies be impacted?

European companies such as Germany’s state-owned Securing Energy for Europe GmbH, Shell
Plc and TotalEnergies SE rely on transshipments in Zeebrugge and Montoir for Yamal cargoes,
according to a contract base published by the global importers’ group.
Those contracts won’t expire until 2038 and 2041, potentially opening the door to force majeure
notices or contractual disputes if transshipments are banned.
SEFE, for example, needs Yamal LNG volumes transshipped in Zeebrugge to serve its long-term
contract with India’s GAIL Ltd. The chief of the German company told Bloomberg earlier this year
that Yamal supplies could stay on the continent if it’s cheaper logistically, while supplying GAIL from
other sources. SEFE said it’s monitoring the developments and declined to comment in detail on
the potential impact of the sanctions package.
Will there be other losers?
One of the biggest losers might be Fluxys SA, which operates the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. The
company built a dedicated storage tank at the terminal to service a 20-year contract with Yamal
Trade, a trading arm for Yamal LNG.
The terminal may announce a force majeure in case of sanctions on transshipments, or face
penalties as high as €1 billion ($1.1 billion) if it cannot provide Yamal Trade the service for the
remainder of the contract’s duration, according to one market estimate. A Fluxys spokesperson said
it’s unclear what exactly will be covered by the sanctions, and therefore impossible to estimate the
exact impact.

Oil Edges Higher in Tight Range as Traders Weigh China Outlook
Oil edged higher on signs China may do more to boost growth, but remained within the narrow band
in which it’s traded this month.
Benchmark Brent was near $83 a barrel, after trading listlessly in a $4 range in May. While poor
Chinese credit and inflation data at the weekend showed the government struggling to
boost demand in the world’s top crude importer, a series of planned long-term sovereign bond
sales point toward authorities seeking to do more to aid growth, and support energy consumption.
Crude has flatlined after beginning a downward arc in mid-April, with prices giving up most of the
risk premium triggered by tensions in the Middle East. Last week saw the biggest reduction in net-
longs for Brent, West Texas Intermediate and the three main fuel futures contracts in a year, a sign
of the speed with which traders have exited the market.

“It’s been a reasonably wild ride if you go back for the last couple of months,” said Aldo Spanjer,
senior commodities desk strategist at BNP Paribas, said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “Right now,
not many people will see the fundamentals as supportive to bring supplies back,” Spanjer said of
the next production moves from OPEC+.
Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani initially said at the weekend that Baghdad had cut production
enough and wouldn’t agree to more. But later, he said that any decision was a matter for OPEC,
and it would stick to whatever the group decided. The group meets with its allies June 1.
Until then, oil traders are looking ahead to a data-heavy week. In addition to monthly reports from
OPEC and the International Energy Agency, there will also be inflation figures in the coming days
that will shape views of the Federal Reserve’s trajectory on interest rates.

India fires up coal use and emissions during election, heat wave
Gavin Maguire, Reuters News
India's coal-fired electricity generation and power sector emissions hit record highs during the first
quarter as above-average temperatures spurred higher air conditioner use and economic expansion
drove greater overall power consumption.
Coal-fired electricity output hit 338 terawatt hours during the first quarter of 2024, according to think
tank Ember, which marked a 9.6% rise from the same quarter in 2023.
Total power sector emissions climbed by the same degree to a record 316 million metric tons of
carbon dioxide and equivalent gases.
The country's power sector discharged a record 108 million tons of CO2 in March alone, and has
emitted more than 100 million tons of CO2 each month so far in 2024, a record stretch for the
country's power suppliers.
An extended heat wave throughout much of the country has likely resulted in even higher coal-fired
generation since March, as power firms attempt to avert outages during the ongoing general
election.
INTENSE HEAT
A key driver of the high levels of coal use has been the extended stretch of above-normal
temperatures across much of the country.

Recorded high temperatures in the northern state of Haryana, which borders the country's capital
New Delhi, have averaged 38.7 degrees Celsius (101.6 degrees Fahrenheit) since April 1, 9.2 C or
31% above the long-term average, according to LSEG data.
In New Delhi itself, recorded high temperatures have surpassed 35 C (95 F) on 26 of the 38 days
since April 1, with temperatures averaging around 15% above normal, according to the Weather
Underground data service.
The mean temperature in eastern India during April was 28.12 C (82.61 F), the highest since records
began in 1901, according to the India Meteorological Department.

Such a prolonged heat wave has resulted in at least nine deaths and reduced voter turnout at
election offices as people sought refuge during the hottest parts of the day.
COOL DRIVE
A key means of keeping cool is through the use of air conditioners, which are power-hungry devices
that are becoming increasingly popular in homes and businesses throughout the country.
India has an estimated 93 million air conditioning units installed as of 2024, according to the
International Energy Agency (IEA), which in a 2023 report noted that space cooling demand has
been a major driver of India's growing electricity demand.
"Between 2019 and 2023, India's hourly electricity demand on a high-temperature day in June
(above 36 C maximum daily temperature) increased on average by about 28%, caused largely by
increased ownership of air conditioners to meet higher cooling needs and other appliances."
Due to expected further increases in average temperatures in India over the coming decades,
electricity demand for household air conditioners is projected to increase nine-fold by 2050, to more
than 1.1 billion air conditioning units, IEA data shows.
COOLING WITH COAL
To keep up with demand, India's electricity producers must crank coal-fired power generation, which
accounts for more than 75% of total electricity output in the country, according to Ember.
Indian utilities have aggressively increased generation from renewable sources in recent years, with
solar output during the first quarter of 2024 roughly twice the generation total during the same period
in 2020.

Output from wind farms has also grown since 2020, by around 30%.
But production from hydro dams is historically volatile due to swings in India's rainfall patterns, with
first-quarter 2024 hydro output down 20% from the same period of 2023. And generation from
nuclear plants is largely flat, so power firms remain highly reliant on fossil fuels for the lion's share
of the country's electricity.
As the emissions stemming from the use of those fuels contributes to further climate change and
rising temperatures, the country looks set to remain locked in a vicious cycle of needing to burn
more coal to keep cool. The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for
Reuters.

Page 3 QatarEnergy acquires stake in two Egypt offshore blocks Staff Writer, Agence France-Presse (AFP) QatarEnergy said Monday it had acquired two offshore gas exploration blocks from Egypt with a 40- percent participating interest, in a deal with US multinational firm ExxonMobil. Under the deal, the Qatari state-owned hydrocarbon giant will receive stakes in the Cairo and Masry concessions off Egypt's north coast, with the operator ExxonMobil retaining 60 percent, QatarEnergy said in a statement. It did not disclose the cost of the agreement. The two offshore exploration blocks were awarded to ExxonMobil in January 2023 and cover an area of approximately 11,400 square kilometres (about 4,400 square miles) in water with a depth of two to three kilometres. QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi welcomed the expansion, promising collaboration with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), Cairo's petroleum and mineral resources ministry and ExxonMobil in the "promising and prospective region". "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Egyptian authorities and our partners for their valuable support and cooperation," said Kaabi, who also serves as the Gulf nation's energy minister.

Page 4 U.S Urged to Halt Oil Export Projects After Terminal Approved (Bloomberg) + NewBae Climate activists who successfully pushed President Joe Biden to halt new US liquefied natural gas exports are setting their sights on proposed crude oil shipping facilities, after the administration approved a massive petroleum terminal last month. The administration should stop approvals of deepwater oil export facilities and reevaluate its approval process, the Sierra Club wrote on behalf of nearly 20 environmental and community groups in a letter Thursday to the White House and the Department of Transportation. The department in April quietly approved a deepwater port off the coast of Texas proposed by Enterprise Products Partners with the capacity to export 2 million barrels of oil a day. Three other oil export projects — proposed by companies including Energy Transfer, Phillips 66, Trafigura Ltd, and Sentinel Midstream LLC — are under review by the Transportation Department.

All reasonable endeavors have been used to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this publication. However, no warranty is given to the accuracy of its content. Page 5 The administration’s move marked a major step forward for the export sector, which has grown rapidly since the U.S. began to allow crude sales abroad in 2015, the same year that the U.S. helped broker the Paris climate accord that called for dramatic reductions in global fossil fuel emissions. The offshore oil export terminal, the first to be approved of four proposed along Texas’ Gulf Coast, will enable continued growth in U.S. shale oil production and in global consumption, dealing a substantial setback to the White House’s goals for drastic cuts in carbon emissions by year 2030. “Up to this point, DOT has failed to meaningfully evaluate the wide-ranging harms of licensing massive deepwater crude export facilities in the Gulf of Mexico and the significant upstream production and global consumption the projects would induce,” said Devorah Ancel, a senior attorney with the Sierra Club, in a release. “Just like with liquefied gas exports, these projects pose serious threats to the climate, vulnerable communities and ecosystems, public health, and national security.” In response, the Transportation Department said extensive environmental reviews are already required to obtain a license for a deepwater port. The Enterprise Products project was approved after reviews concluded it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional crude oil loading and ship-to-ship transfers while making oil transport safer, according to the department. Approval of the Enterprise project, known as the Sea Port Oil Terminal, comes amid a record oil export boom in the US. The terminal would be only the fourth in the US to load supertankers, the ships that make long-haul voyages to clients in Asia more economical. It would also result in greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 90 new coal-fired plants over its 30-year license, according to the Sierra Club. Activists who celebrated the White House’s decision in late January to halt liquefied natural gas export permits while it reevaluates their effects on climate change say oil export facilities will lock in decades of carbon emissions while adding to the environmental injustices the Biden administration has pledged to fight. “It was just shocking to see him make this decision,” said Cassidy DiPaola, a spokeswoman for Fossil Free Media, a non-profit advocacy group. “It was really a major betrayal to front-line communities.” Biden has come under increasing pressure to limit crude and natural gas exports prior to the November election, and his January pause on LNG export permits was considered as a way to appease young, climate-minded voters who felt alienated by his administration’s approval of the $8 billion Willow oil development in Alaska last year. But he also faces pressure from voters to keep gasoline prices low. Exporting more US crude into the international petroleum market can help do that, by lowering crude prices. “It’s true that under-30 voters can make the difference at the margin in close swing states, but if gasoline prices keep rising, those swing states won’t be close,” said Kevin Book, managing director of consulting firm ClearView Energy Partners. “From a political perspective, the White House wants to win over young voters, but the White House needs to look like they are taking action on high gasoline prices.”

Page 6 UK Drops Hydrogen Town in Blow for Using Fuel in Home Heating (Bloomberg) + NewBase The UK government scrapped plans for a “hydrogen town” pilot, in another setback for the country’s plans to use the fuel to decarbonize its heating systems. The UK has been exploring hydrogen’s potential to replace gas — which heats most British homes — but trials in Redcar and Whitby have already been canceled after local opposition. It still plans to make a decision in 2026 on whether hydrogen has a role to play in large-scale residential heating, according to a statement on Thursday from the government. Rishi Sunak has been slammed by his climate advisers after softening parts of the UK’s green agenda last year. The prime minister has argued the UK is overachieving on its green goals and can afford to slow down on renewable energy, efficient boilers and home insulation, but he’s also been accused of trying to weaponize net zero ahead of elections this year. Decarbonizing home heating is one of the steepest hills the UK has to climb to reach net zero because the housing stock is warmed predominantly by gas and, in some cases, oil boilers. The country is also lagging behind other European nations in installing heat pumps. Some industry experts said consideration of hydrogen for home heating has been as a distraction, and welcomed the decision to shelve the pilot project. “Today’s decision makes clear that all attention and investment should be focused on readily available clean heat solutions, like heat pumps and heat networks,” said Juliet Phillips, UK energy program lead at climate change think tank E3G.

Page 7 China Takes Advantage of Cheap Gas and Coal to Rebuild Stocks (Bloomberg) China is taking advantage of lower international prices for coal and natural gas to replenish stockpiles of power fuels ahead of another long, hot summer. Gas imports through the end of April jumped 21% from the previous year, while coal purchases climbed 13%. The increase in coal in particular has defied predictions that imports would moderate from last year’s record-setting pace, and comes after domestic production posted its first quarterly drop since the third quarter of 2020. Coal miners are wrestling with heightened scrutiny on safety after a spate of fatal accidents, as well as depleting quality after the rush to expand capacity in recent years. Producers of China’s mainstay fuel are also putting limits on output growth as Beijing’s deadline to peak coal consumption by 2025 approaches. That’s forcing utilities to lean more heavily on imports, an advantage given relatively lower fuel costs on the global market. The Japan-Korea marker for liquefied natural gas, Asia’s benchmark, averaged just over $9 per million British thermal units in the first quarter, down from $18 in the same period in 2023. Newcastle coal futures in major exporter Australia averaged $127 a ton, from $236 in the prior year. Ensuring power supplies has been a priority for policymakers since a series of embarrassing shortages in 2021 and 2022 forced widespread factory shutdowns. Meanwhile, another unusually hot summer in the northern hemisphere is forecast, which is likely to raise demand for airconditioning in coming months. Even as China has dramatically ramped up wind and solar in recent years, its power demand, including from electric vehicles, continues to outpace new supply, creating an ever greater need for fossil fuels. This year China’s power consumption is expected to increase 8% in the first half, with

Page 8 peak demand expected to surpass last year’s record by 100 gigawatts — the equivalent of adding Australia to the grid. Still, there are signs the country may have reached a tipping point where new clean energy installations are enough to meet additional usage, which will push fossil fuels and their emissions into a long-term decline. Gas and coal prices have also inched up in recent weeks, leading some gas buyers to offer to resell summer cargoes, suggesting that the surge in imports may cool.

Page 9 EU Sanctions on Russian LNG Would Mean for Global Gas (Bloomberg) Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe and its allies have looked for ways to curb Moscow’s fossil fuel revenues without inflicting higher energy costs on their own citizens. The latest plan: ban use of European Union ports for re-exporting liquefied natural gas. Russian producer Novatek PJSC relies on stopovers in the EU to move Arctic fuel from ice-class ships onto conventional tankers. While choking off its access won’t prevent cargoes from reaching Europe — where LNG imports from Russia have actually increased in the aftermath of the war — it will make it harder to send them onward to third countries in Asia, potentially angering key buyers such as China or India. EU policymakers are discussing the move as part of their 14th package of sanctions against Russia. While it isn’t an outright ban, it would mark the first time Europe enforces concrete measures against Russian LNG. If approved, the measure may lead to even more Russian fuel circulating in Europe. It would also likely trigger contractual challenges for European logistics firms and political backlash from other gas-buying nations.

Page 10 What exactly will be sanctioned? To optimize shipping costs, the Arctic-based Yamal LNG project — led by Novatek — relies on the ports of Zeebrugge in Belgium and Montoir in France to transfer cargoes from its 15 ice-class vessels onto conventional tankers. Typically, an arriving ship discharges at the terminal and a standard LNG carrier loads at about the same time. That will no longer be possible under the ban. For Yamal LNG, the stopovers are necessary to allow highly-specialized vessels to return to the Arctic plant, where conditions are too harsh for regular ones. Ship-tracking data indicate that up to eight Russian cargoes are transshipped in Europe in some months, although the number varies and drops significantly during summer and autumn, when the Northern Sea Route across the Arctic has less ice and provides faster access to China. What will it mean for European LNG purchases? EU imports of Russian LNG totaled 14.4 million tons last year, according to consultant Energy Aspects Ltd. Transshipments, where the fuel is transferred, made up 2 million tons. A likely scenario is that a ban will lead to those extra volumes remaining in the bloc, where Russian LNG already holds a share of about 13%. For example, Novatek could unload cargoes meant for Asia in Europe and use locational swaps, said James Waddel, head of European gas and global LNG at Energy Aspects. This means it would source gas elsewhere to supply Asian customers. As a result, that “would open up European governments to accusations that they are turning up their Russian LNG supply while claiming they are trying to minimize it,” Waddel said. Will Russian LNG production suffer? The sanctions would further complicate shipping logistics for Russia and force specialized vessels to travel over longer routes. Global fleets are already avoiding the Red Sea after attacks by Yemen’s Houthis, forcing journeys to reroute around Africa. Taking Yamal LNG cargoes directly to Asia would raise freight and logistics costs, according to Energy Aspects, and also tie up the icebreakers for longer. Russia does have some alternatives: it conducts ship-to-ship transfers near its northern city of Murmansk, which it could use to free up vessels. It can also make use of its Northern Sea Route during summer when ice melts and a variety of ships can access the plant. If alternative shipping arrangements fail, Russian LNG exports may be reduced. But the country has been pretty resourceful in getting around Western sanctions on oil. What will the ban mean for Asian customers? Russian LNG exports to Asian buyers could decline or become more expensive to account for higher freight costs, according to Energy Aspects. In an extreme scenario, “if Novatek were unable to reconfigure its logistics and Russian LNG exports were shut in, Europe would be disrupting a Russian supply contract with China for 3 million tons per year, which may generate a political backlash from China,” Waddel said. Relying on the Northern Sea Route or Murmansk transshipment would also depend on ice conditions, shifting supplies to Asia to the second half of each calendar year, he added. How would European companies be impacted?

Page 11 European companies such as Germany’s state-owned Securing Energy for Europe GmbH, Shell Plc and TotalEnergies SE rely on transshipments in Zeebrugge and Montoir for Yamal cargoes, according to a contract base published by the global importers’ group. Those contracts won’t expire until 2038 and 2041, potentially opening the door to force majeure notices or contractual disputes if transshipments are banned. SEFE, for example, needs Yamal LNG volumes transshipped in Zeebrugge to serve its long-term contract with India’s GAIL Ltd. The chief of the German company told Bloomberg earlier this year that Yamal supplies could stay on the continent if it’s cheaper logistically, while supplying GAIL from other sources. SEFE said it’s monitoring the developments and declined to comment in detail on the potential impact of the sanctions package. Will there be other losers? One of the biggest losers might be Fluxys SA, which operates the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. The company built a dedicated storage tank at the terminal to service a 20-year contract with Yamal Trade, a trading arm for Yamal LNG. The terminal may announce a force majeure in case of sanctions on transshipments, or face penalties as high as €1 billion ($1.1 billion) if it cannot provide Yamal Trade the service for the remainder of the contract’s duration, according to one market estimate. A Fluxys spokesperson said it’s unclear what exactly will be covered by the sanctions, and therefore impossible to estimate the exact impact.

Benchmark Brent was near $83 a barrel, after trading listlessly in a $4 range in May. While poor Chinese credit and inflation data at the weekend showed the government struggling to boost demand in the world’s top crude importer, a series of planned long-term sovereign bond sales point toward authorities seeking to do more to aid growth, and support energy consumption. Crude has flatlined after beginning a downward arc in mid-April, with prices giving up most of the risk premium triggered by tensions in the Middle East. Last week saw the biggest reduction in net- longs for Brent, West Texas Intermediate and the three main fuel futures contracts in a year, a sign of the speed with which traders have exited the market. Oil price special coverage  Brent for July settlement was 0.3% higher at $83.02 a barrel at 11:20 a.m. in London.  Earlier, Brent lost as much as 0.6%.  WTI for June delivery rose 0.4% to $78.55 a barrel.  Benchmark Brent crude trades near $83 a barrel in London  OPEC, IEA reports this week to offer insight on global balance

Page 13 “It’s been a reasonably wild ride if you go back for the last couple of months,” said Aldo Spanjer, senior commodities desk strategist at BNP Paribas, said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “Right now, not many people will see the fundamentals as supportive to bring supplies back,” Spanjer said of the next production moves from OPEC+. Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani initially said at the weekend that Baghdad had cut production enough and wouldn’t agree to more. But later, he said that any decision was a matter for OPEC, and it would stick to whatever the group decided. The group meets with its allies June 1. Until then, oil traders are looking ahead to a data-heavy week. In addition to monthly reports from OPEC and the International Energy Agency, there will also be inflation figures in the coming days that will shape views of the Federal Reserve’s trajectory on interest rates.

Page 15 NewBase Specual Coverage The Energy world – May 13 -2024 CLEAN ENERGY India fires up coal use and emissions during election, heat wave Gavin Maguire, Reuters News India's coal-fired electricity generation and power sector emissions hit record highs during the first quarter as above-average temperatures spurred higher air conditioner use and economic expansion drove greater overall power consumption. Coal-fired electricity output hit 338 terawatt hours during the first quarter of 2024, according to think tank Ember, which marked a 9.6% rise from the same quarter in 2023. Total power sector emissions climbed by the same degree to a record 316 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and equivalent gases. The country's power sector discharged a record 108 million tons of CO2 in March alone, and has emitted more than 100 million tons of CO2 each month so far in 2024, a record stretch for the country's power suppliers. An extended heat wave throughout much of the country has likely resulted in even higher coal-fired generation since March, as power firms attempt to avert outages during the ongoing general election. INTENSE HEAT A key driver of the high levels of coal use has been the extended stretch of above-normal temperatures across much of the country.

Page 17 Such a prolonged heat wave has resulted in at least nine deaths and reduced voter turnout at election offices as people sought refuge during the hottest parts of the day. COOL DRIVE A key means of keeping cool is through the use of air conditioners, which are power-hungry devices that are becoming increasingly popular in homes and businesses throughout the country. India has an estimated 93 million air conditioning units installed as of 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), which in a 2023 report noted that space cooling demand has been a major driver of India's growing electricity demand. "Between 2019 and 2023, India's hourly electricity demand on a high-temperature day in June (above 36 C maximum daily temperature) increased on average by about 28%, caused largely by increased ownership of air conditioners to meet higher cooling needs and other appliances." Due to expected further increases in average temperatures in India over the coming decades, electricity demand for household air conditioners is projected to increase nine-fold by 2050, to more than 1.1 billion air conditioning units, IEA data shows. COOLING WITH COAL To keep up with demand, India's electricity producers must crank coal-fired power generation, which accounts for more than 75% of total electricity output in the country, according to Ember. Indian utilities have aggressively increased generation from renewable sources in recent years, with solar output during the first quarter of 2024 roughly twice the generation total during the same period in 2020.

Page 18 Output from wind farms has also grown since 2020, by around 30%. But production from hydro dams is historically volatile due to swings in India's rainfall patterns, with first-quarter 2024 hydro output down 20% from the same period of 2023. And generation from nuclear plants is largely flat, so power firms remain highly reliant on fossil fuels for the lion's share of the country's electricity. As the emissions stemming from the use of those fuels contributes to further climate change and rising temperatures, the country looks set to remain locked in a vicious cycle of needing to burn more coal to keep cool. The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.
