(Tue, 29 Oct 2024) South Africa was the largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa in 2023 in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), according to the latest estimates by the World Bank Group. The country has a large coal mining industry and mostly uses coal to meet its energy needs. Although South Africa has a high level of access to electricity relative to other sub-Saharan African countries, its electric power sector experiences frequent power outages because of insufficient investment in electricity infrastructure.
(Thu, 17 Oct 2024) Argentina's energy sector relies mainly on fossil fuels, especially natural gas and oil. In 2022, 47% of the country's energy production came from natural gas, and the natural gas share of primary energy consumption was 49.5%. Argentinaâs global share of natural gas consumption was 1.15%. Oil accounted for 42.8% of total energy production and 40.4% of primary energy consumption.
(Thu, 10 Oct 2024) Iran holds some of the worldâs largest oil and natural gas reserves, and crude oil and natural gas production growth remains limited because of international sanctions and underinvestment. However, Iranâs crude oil production increased after 2020 after global oil demand returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and China began to import more discounted crude oil from Iran.
(Wed, 09 Oct 2024) This report fulfils Section 4 of the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum Act, or the SHIP Act, which requires the Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration to submit a report describing âIranâs growing exports of petroleum and petroleum productsâ to the appropriate congressional committees.
(Thu, 12 Sep 2024) We recently implemented a new model for forecasting crude oil and natural gas production from the U.S. Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico (GOM) in the <em>Short-Term Energy Outlook</em> (STEO). In our latest outlook, we forecast that GOM production will remain relatively flat with new fields offsetting the natural production declines from existing fields.
(Wed, 21 Aug 2024) This report looks at planned global refinery capacity additions to 2028 and the implications on crude oil and refined petroleum product trade.
(Wed, 21 Aug 2024) Norwayâs Johan Sverdrup field, the top producing oil field in Europe, will reach its production plateau near 755 thousand barrels per day by the end of the year, and the 88-megawatt Hywind Tampen project, the worldâs largest floating offshore wind farm, entered operation in late 2022.
(Tue, 13 Aug 2024) Egypt is a significant and geographically important hydrocarbon producer. Egypt received a substantial boost to its natural gas production in the mid-2010s when major offshore fields, such as the Zohr field, were developed. Egypt operates the Suez Canal and the Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) Pipeline; both of which are crucial midstream infrastructure for international energy markets. Egypt has also sought to position itself as the regional export hub for LNG. Egypt is the only country in the Eastern Mediterranean region with operational LNG export capacity.
