The New York Times has published a piece commenting on the flood of recent oil field discoveries, far exceeding the pace in this decade. Much as this is cause for joy, new oil finds are deeper, costlier, and more difficult to process. Finally, we ought to have a few more data points before calling a curve.

In the June 2026 edition, we highlight how evolving regulatory frameworks and technology innovation are accelerating the transition to low‑carbon and high‑performance solutions across the chemical industry. The IMO’s approval of ammonia fuel safety guidelines and China’s tightening carbon accounting standards signal growing momentum behind decarbonization, while advances in battery materials and thermal management solutions […]

In the June 2026 edition, AI-driven demand is surging, but constraints in grid capacity, permitting, and equipment supply are reshaping how and where data centers expand. Developers are increasingly embedding power considerations into site selection, shifting toward distributed infrastructure models and prioritizing regions with faster, more reliable access to electricity. As power availability becomes a […]

In the May 2026 edition, we explore how carbon regulation, particularly the EU’s CBAM, is reshaping cost structures and accelerating the shift toward low‑carbon supply chains in the chemical industry. At the same time, rising demand from high‑growth sectors like AI infrastructure is creating new challenges and opportunities, while strategic investments, targeted acquisitions, and capacity […]
I think it’s a legit joy for BP! BP’s huge investment in the area of deepwater exploration is paying off very well, #1 operator in the deepwater basin producing 400,000 BOE/day and with the new Tiber Oil Field and others we are likely to see an increase in the number to at least 600,000 BOE/day. BP has been always ultra conservative in estimating its reserves as seen with Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more oil from BP’s deepwater projects. Better oil prices in the next decade and the absence of risk factors such as civil unrest, high-tax foreign countries, etc BP is well positioned to earn well. And so I think it is a well deserved pay off.
