The explosive growth of artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of energy demand. Hyperscale data centers powering AI training and inference are projected to consume vast amounts of electricity—much of it reliably supplied by natural gas-fired generation. Yet the real enablers aren’t the chipmakers or the hyperscalers themselves. They are the midstream operators who own […]

As the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran disrupts key Middle East energy routes and chokes global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies, Asia’s top LNG importers are turning back to coal to keep the lights on. Spot LNG prices have roughly doubled, while Asian LNG imports have fallen sharply—the biggest drop since 2022—prompting utilities across the region […]

This means restoring normal supply-demand equilibrium, rebuilding severely depleted global inventories, repositioning tankers and supply chains, restarting/rebalancing production flows, ending demand rationing/destruction, and removing the geopolitical risk premium that has driven price volatility and tightness. Nasser emphasized that simply reopening shipping routes (like the Strait of Hormuz) is not the same as market normalization, due […]
