Energy Market Briefing Monday, September 28, 2026

1. Headlines

Oil prices are rallying sharply today. As of this morning, WTI crude is at $95.74, up 3.6% (+$3.33), while Brent crude has surpassed $100 to $100.52, a gain of 3.16% (+$3.08). The immediate catalyst, according to reports from Rigzone and OilPrice.com, is a renewed stalemate between the U.S. and Iran over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal over the weekend, and Iran has reportedly stuck to its conditions for reopening the crucial waterway.

Energy Market Briefing

Daily Energy Market Briefing Thursday, November 12, 2026 1. Headlines Oil prices are down this morning, with WTI trading at $85.79 (-0.86%) and Brent at $92.14 (-0.67%), according to price data. The market is digesting conflicting signals on global supply flows. Multiple sources, including OilPrice.com and Rigzone, report that crude shipments from the Persian Gulf to India have surpassed Russian flows for the first time since the Iran war began, reaching an estimated 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) so far this month versus 1.8 million bpd from Russia, per Kpler data. This indicates a material recovery in Hormuz traffic via ship-to-ship transfers. Simultaneously, reports cite Saudi Arabia informing OPEC that its crude production surged 26% last month to the highest level since before the war. On the demand side, U.S. gasoline prices have reportedly fallen below $4 per gallon for the first time since August. In corporate news, Flex...

Global Gas, OPEC and India Flows Shape Bakken Backdrop

North Dakota’s Bakken producers are watching a global energy picture this week defined by surging power equipment demand, firmer OPEC+ compliance and a shifting crude trade flow in Asia, according to OilPrice.com and Rigzone reports. The gas-turbine story is a power-demand story for North Dakota’s oil and gas sector. China is urging its gas turbine manufacturers to accelerate technology development and pitch sales to overseas data centers, the Chinese energy regulator said on Thursday, as Beijing targets challenging Western firms’ dominance, OilPrice.com reported. Global orders for gas turbines have hit a record high as demand for power generation surges, JP Morgan said earlier this year, according to OilPrice.com. New gas turbine orders in the second quarter stood at 38 gigawatts, 29% higher than first-quarter orders and 71% higher on an annual basis, the investment bank said. The United States accounted for half of these new turbine orders, the bank said,...

Afternoon Energy Market Briefing for Bakken Wire Wednesday, November 11, 2026 1. Headlines Oil prices are mixed today, with Brent crude rising 1.26% to $92.64 while WTI posted a more modest 0.5% gain to $86.47. Natural gas dipped slightly to $3.25. According to Rigzone, this price action follows a prior session where crude extended its decline on growing diplomatic hopes for peace and recovering Persian Gulf oil flows. A separate Rigzone report notes U.S. gasoline prices have fallen below $4 per gallon for the first time since August, though a GasBuddy blog cited in the report states the midterm elections were not the cause. Several significant data points are moving the market. Rigzone reports that Saudi Arabia informed OPEC its crude oil production surged by 26% last month to the highest level since before the outbreak of the war. In corporate news, Enverus Intelligence Research revealed U.S. upstream M&A hit...
