1. Headlines Oil prices are down sharply today. WTI crude fell 1.89% to $95.39, and Brent crude fell 1.26% to $98.67, according to price data. The move is attributed to reports of improved Saudi pipeline flows, as reported by Rigzone, though uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz persists. Natural gas held flat at $2.9.

Global Shipping Chaos, New Sanctions Law Reshape Bakken Export Outlook

Global shipping disruptions stemming from the Middle East crisis are driving record transit costs at key canals, adding complexity and expense to Bakken crude exports. Meanwhile, new U.S. legislation could impose tariffs on nations buying Russian oil and gas, a move with implications for global energy competition. According to OilPrice.com, traffic and fees at the Panama and Suez Canals have jumped this year due to rerouted trade from disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. This has hiked crude and petroleum products crossings at the Panama Canal as Asia seeks U.S. supply not trapped in the Middle East. The cost to secure a passage has exploded, with some vessel operators paying $4-5 million in an auction for a single Panama Canal slot. South Korea’s SK Gas reportedly paid $5.3 million for a September 1 passage. The Panama Canal Authority has also capped daily transits due to drought, reducing...

Energy Market Briefing

Date: Friday, September 18, 2026 1. Headlines Oil prices are modestly lower midday, with WTI crude trading at $96.73, down 0.51%. Brent crude is at $99.77, down 0.16%. Natural gas is slightly higher at $2.93. The reported driver is an improvement in Middle East oil flows, specifically that Saudi Arabia has boosted shuttle-shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and that some pipeline operations may partially resume sooner than feared, according to reports from Rigzone and OilPrice.com. However, the security situation remains complex and contradictory. While some reports indicate oil flows through Hormuz have recovered to about two-thirds of pre-war levels, a critical alternative route—Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline—remains shut after drone strikes. Reuters, cited by OilPrice.com, reports that inventories at the Red Sea port of Yanbu may only support exports for five to seven days if the pipeline isn’t fixed. Repair estimates from an unnamed industry source vary from a quicker...

Global Supply Moves Pressure Bakken as Russia Advances, LNG Flows Resume

The $118 billion Russian Arctic oil project Vostok Oil is pushing ahead despite Western sanctions, according to an investigation by RFE/RL's Systema unit and the NGO Arctida. The project, led by Russian state giant Rosneft, represents a significant future source of global oil supply that could compete with non-OPEC producers like those in the Bakken. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently hailed the launch of the project's first stage, which includes a 790-kilometer pipeline and a new port, as a "momentous event." Simultaneously, liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers are beginning to push through the Strait of Hormuz again after a six-month near-standstill, according to tanker-tracking data reported by Bloomberg. At least two LNG carriers transited the strait this week, and ship-to-ship transfers have been spotted offshore Oman. The resumption of flows from major exporters Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) could ease the global gas crunch that has supported prices....
