Galp targets 150,000 boe/d upstream by 2020 Portuguese energy company Galp said it aimed to boost upstream production by more than 50% in the next three years largely driven by ongoing production increases from its Brazilian pre-salt holdings. Global oil demand to peak at 110 million b/d before 2040: BP Global oil demand will likely peak before 2040 as the renewable energy boom gains pace, sales of electric cars surge and environmental curbs on plastics shrink the role of oil in the global energy mix, according to BP's latest long-term energy outlook. US crude stocks approaching five-year average Smaller-than-usual builds in total US crude inventories combined with continued draws at Cushing, Oklahoma, this winter helped NYMEX crude futures find a bottom last week and turn higher. Firmer dollar keeps lid on NYMEX crude below $62/b The oil complex was mixed Tuesday, as the US Dollar Index strengthened for the third straight session after dropping last week to a three-year low, limiting the upside for crude futures.

China's robust appetite for raw materials to boost freight demand: Bimco China's imports will play a crucial role in building demand for dry bulkers, tankers and upcoming freight levels. TRADER NOTE: IBIA appoints new chairman, elects new board members Michael Green, who was IBIA's Vice Chairman, takes over from Robin Meech of Marine and Energy Consulting. US crude exports in focus as LOOP completes first VLCC loading The rise in US oil exports has been a big boon for the tanker markets, giving rise to new routes in the past two years. FUTURES 1: Crude mixed amid Mideast turmoil, profit-taking "The gap between Brent and WTI has been slowly widening, so there will be some profit-taking into the week ahead," an OCBC economist said.
