FEBRUARY 22, 2022
IEA says ready to act to ensure energy security amid growing concern over Russia moves on Ukraine The International Energy Agency said its member countries stand ready to act to bring on extra crude supply amid increasing concern about moves by Russia against Ukraine. SAUDI DATA: Gasoil exports rise to over three-year high in December Saudi Arabia's gasoil exports rose 12.43% month on month, and 26.84% on the year to 3.46 million mt in December 2021, extending the uptrend for the fourth month running, showed data released by the Joint Organizations Data Initiative late Feb. 21. RUSSIA DATA: Jan fuel oil exports up 5.2% on year at 3.054 mil mt Russian fuel oil exports in January rose 5.2% year on year and 11.2% month on month to 3.054 million mt, according to data released Feb. 22 by the Central Dispatching Unit of the energy ministry. AMERICAS BUNKERS: Key market indicators Feb. 22-25 Spot bunker markets in the Americas are facing tight supplies this week in several key hubs as well as more volatility in global oil, which has led to resupply uncertainty and slower markets. Tanker markets tread cautiously as threat of sanctions on Russian oil looms The global tanker market is in a state of disquiet as potential sanctions on the flow of Russian oil to the West could significantly harm market fundamentals, as the energy markets brace for potential further actions on Russia. INDIA DATA: India's oil product exports rise 14.4% on year in January India's oil product exports rose 14.4% year on year to 5.1 million mt, or 1.3 million b/d, in January, the latest provisional data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell showed, reflecting an improvement in global demand. Colonial Pipeline hires new 'chief information security officer' after cyberattack Colonial Pipeline said Feb. 22 it hired a new "chief information security officer" to lead its cyber defenses in the aftermath of a devastating cyberattack last year that left the United State's top fuel pipeline artery offline for nearly a week. OIL FUTURES: Crude prices rise as Russia deploys troops into eastern Ukraine Crude oil prices continued to rise Feb. 22 as Russia deployed troops into breakaway sections of eastern Ukraine and the US and other NATO members launched an initial barrage of sanctions against the country. Biden vows to stop Nord Stream 2 pipeline as US sanctions Russian banks, ships The US will work with Germany to block the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and impose sanctions against Russian bank VEB, US President Joe Biden said Feb. 22 in announcing the "first tranche" of penalties after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into eastern Ukraine. Germany says Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline certification cannot now go ahead Halting the certification process means the 55 Bcm/year pipeline -- which was completed in September -- will be unable to begin commercial operations. Russia's Transneft sees no impact on oil flows to Europe on Ukraine conflict escalation HSBC targets 34% cut to emissions from financed oil and gas clients by 2030 Disclosing its so-called "financed emissions" for the first time, HSBC said the new target is equal to the percent reduction that the IEA indicates in its net-zero scenario for global sector emissions to 2030 from a 2019 baseline. OIL FUTURES: Crude stays firm as market awaits clarity on sanctions against Russia Russia's recognition and subsequent deployment of peace-keeping troops into the breakaway eastern Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk drew sharp rebuke and the promise of sanctions from Western allies. Shipowners avoid Black Sea ports, traders brace for sanctions as war fears rise Networks of commodity traders, shipping finance executives and ship brokers in the shipping hub of Singapore said they have been on high alert since an escalation in the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the likelihood of a US response. European, Russian port operations return to normal after storm The updates came after Storm Eunice brought havoc to Europe on Feb. 18 and over the weekend. Japan to ensure stable energy supply with reserves if Russia-Ukraine crisis worsens: minister Japan will make every effort to ensure stable energy supply for the country with its petroleum reserves and LNG stocks should the Russia-Ukraine situation deteriorate further, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Koichi Hagiuda said Feb. 22. Russia will continue uninterrupted supplies of gas, LNG to global markets: Putin In his address to the Gas Exporting Countries Forum summit in Doha, Putin said Russia would improve the existing infrastructure and increase investment in the gas sector. Marine fuel 0.5%S Singapore-Fujairah bunker spread narrows to near one-year low Lackluster arbitrage movements of low sulfur components for the LSFO blending pool have gradually tightened inventories at the Middle Eastern port of Fujairah since February, whereas rising availability of LSFO cargoes in Singapore continues to weigh on bunker premiums, traders said. Singapore's February bunker fuel sales show promise despite January drop: sources Bunker fuel sales in the world's largest bunkering port slid 3.5% month on month to 4.033 million mt in January, 10.4% lower on the year, according to the latest preliminary data released by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
