  The Netherlands to Miss Natural Gas Filling Target for Winter
  The Netherlands will miss its target to fill natural gas storage sites ahead of the winter, its gas network operators said on Wednesday, in one of the first evidence-based signs that Europe may be struggling to have sufficient supply for a harsh winter. Gasunie,... Read more The Netherlands will miss its target to fill natural gas storage sites ahead of the winter, its gas network operators said on Wednesday, in one of the first evidence-based signs that Europe may be struggling to have sufficient supply for a harsh winter.
  
  Gasunie, the Dutch gas network operator, on Wednesday warned that the country will miss its target to have 115 terawatt-hours (TWh) worth of gas supply.
  
  In response to recent media reports about the state of the storage filling, Gasunie said that “based on the latest developments, the Netherlands will no longer meet the previously set filling target for this winter (115 TWh) – which is approximately half of Dutch gas consumption.”
  
  The filling target proposed by Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) – a wholly owned subsidiary of Gasunie – was established based on the amount of gas required during the harshest winter of the past 30 years.
  
  Despite the target being no longer achievable, the operator said that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Netherlands would not have enough gas supply for the winter or that security of supply is at risk.
  
  “This situation does mean that, without additional policy, the Netherlands is insufficiently prepared for a scenario in which the winter would be one of the harshest,” Gasunie said.
  
  The gas network operator is currently studying how to keep gas supply as high as possible in the dramatically changed geopolitical situation and market conditions in the past half year, and prevent further upward pressure on the gas market and prices.
  
  Across Europe, current inventory levels are at the lowest in 17 years, and supply available for purchase is tighter than it was ahead of the 2022/2023 winter, as Qatar’s LNG flows are now mostly cut off by the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
  
  EU gas storage levels at 63% full right now are below the 5-year average of 80% and also lower than the nearly 76% at this time last year.
  
  “At the current rate, it will be difficult for the EU to hit even the lower storage target of 75% ahead of the heating season. This raises the prospects of forced buying, increasing upside risk for gas prices,” ING’s commodities strategists Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey wrote in a note this week.

  Natural Gas, Not Oil, Is Key Inflation Concern in Europe
  Soaring energy prices have rekindled inflation fears in Europe since the Iran war disrupted oil and gas flows, but policy makers and bond markets appear to be more concerned about the jump in natural gas prices rather than the increase in crude oil futures. European... Read more Soaring energy prices have rekindled inflation fears in Europe since the Iran war disrupted oil and gas flows, but policy makers and bond markets appear to be more concerned about the jump in natural gas prices rather than the increase in crude oil futures.
  
  European benchmark natural gas prices have hit a five-month high in recent days, as Europe scrambles for LNG supply to fill gas storage sites ahead of the winter.
  
  Since the Middle East crisis began, Europe has started losing the competition with Asia for spot LNG supply amid spiking prices in the absence of most Qatari LNG term volumes.
  
  The Iran war and the intensified competition from Asia came just as Europe is trying to build in the spring and summer natural gas inventories for the next winter.
  
  Current storage levels are about 63% full, data from Gas Infrastructure Europe shows. That’s the lowest level for this time of year in nearly two decades and well below the five-year average.
  
  The spiking gas prices threaten to raise inflation further and prompt interest rate hikes beyond current expectations. In the European bond markets, yields on the key UK and German bonds have surged to multi-decade highs amid fears of stubborn inflation due to the spike in natural gas prices.
  
  “Natural gas prices have taken over as the key driver of yields,” Jamie Searle, European rates strategist at Citigroup, told Bloomberg.
  
  According to Emma Moriarty, portfolio manager at CG Asset Management, “The natural gas price is more relevant to the UK and Europe and never really recovered in any of the ceasefires and continues to leg higher.”
  
  Meanwhile, higher energy prices boosted inflation in both the UK and the Eurozone, with the July prices accelerating from the previous month and jumping from a year earlier.
  
  The European Central Bank (ECB), which in June raised key interest rates for the euro area for the first time since 2023, is overwhelmingly expected to announce another hike in September, but stop the rate increases there. Source: Oilprice.com

  India’s ONGC Targets Tenfold Oil Output Boost in Venezuela
  India’s state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) plans to invest about $200 million to revive production at the San Cristobal oilfield in Venezuela, which it shares with Venezuelan state oil firm PDVSA, Indian outlet Economic Times reported... Read more India’s state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) plans to invest about $200 million to revive production at the San Cristobal oilfield in Venezuela, which it shares with Venezuelan state oil firm PDVSA, Indian outlet Economic Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources with knowledge of the development.
  
  ONGC’s overseas unit ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL) holds stakes in some Venezuelan oil projects, including a 40% interest in the San Cristobal oilfield, in which PDVSA owns the remaining 60%.
  
  Earlier this month, ONGC secured a license from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to return to Venezuela.
  
  India’s largest oil and gas company has a 40% stake in the San Cristobal oil project and an 11% stake in the Carabobo project but has been forced to curb activity significantly amid a barrage of U.S. sanctions on the South American country in recent years.
  
  Now that the license has been secured, ONGC plans to develop the oilfield. The $200-million budget for reviving production at San Cristobal in the Orinoco Belt would be given the green light once the Indian firm and PDVSA sign an agreement on an investment plan.
  
  The companies are close to finalizing said plan, according to ET’s sources.
  
  The Indian firm will also cover PDVSA’s share of investment with the $200 million, and will recoup it through future production from the San Cristobal oilfield, the sources added.
  
  ONGC’s investment over the next 12 months is aimed at boosting output at San Cristobal tenfold in the coming years.
  
  The oilfield currently produces around 4,000-5,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. ONGC aims to ultimately restore output to the previous peak of up to 50,000 bpd, ET’s sources said. This level was achieved years ago, before the U.S. sanctions, years of mismanagement, and a lack of investment crippled production in the world’s biggest holder of crude oil reserves.

  UK Energy Bills to Hit Three-Year High as Gas Prices Surge
  UK energy bills are set for a three-year high at the beginning of the winter, as higher gas prices due to the Iran war have prompted the energy regulator to raise the energy price cap on household costs by 4% for October through December. The UK energy... Read more UK energy bills are set for a three-year high at the beginning of the winter, as higher gas prices due to the Iran war have prompted the energy regulator to raise the energy price cap on household costs by 4% for October through December.
  
  The UK energy regulator Ofgem on Wednesday published its quarterly energy price cap decision, announcing a 4% increase in the cap for the period between October 1 and December 31, 2026.
  
  The UK has a so-called Energy Price Cap in place, which protects households from excessively high bills by capping the price that energy utility providers can pass on to them. The price cap is a limit on what suppliers can charge domestic consumers per kilowatt hour of energy used.
  
  UK energy bills have already jumped by 13% between July 1 and September 30, 2026, under the price cap that Ofgem set in May, as a result of higher wholesale gas prices amid the Middle East crisis.
  
  The latest increase in the price cap was widely expected by analysts, with Cornwall Insight predicting last week that Ofgem would raise the energy price cap by 4%.
  
  In its announcement on Wednesday, the UK energy regulator said that “This increase reflects higher wholesale gas prices as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with volatile global gas markets remaining the dominant driver of price changes.”
  
  “High international gas prices are continuing to drive energy costs in the UK,” said Neil Kenward, Ofgem’s Director General for Markets.
  
  The current price cap for a typical household paying by direct debit for gas and electricity is £1,663, or $2,268.
  
  Based on the energy use of a typical domestic household, from October, the price cap will rise by £60 per year (or £5 per month) to £1,723, or $2,350 for the average household using both electricity and gas if this level were sustained for a year, Ofgem said. Source: Oilprice.com

  India’s Russian Oil Imports Slide From Record High as Supply Tightens
  India’s crude oil imports from Russia have eased so far this month from July’s record high, as Ukrainian attacks on Russian export infrastructure and competition from China for Russia’s barrels have dented Indian intake of Moscow’s oil. India’s imports... Read more India’s crude oil imports from Russia have eased so far this month from July’s record high, as Ukrainian attacks on Russian export infrastructure and competition from China for Russia’s barrels have dented Indian intake of Moscow’s oil.
  
  India’s imports of Russian oil hit a new all-time high in July and accounted for more than half of total Indian crude oil imports. India’s crude oil imports from Russia rose to 2.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, up from the previous high of 2.7 million bpd in June, for the highest average monthly volume ever, according to vessel-tracking data by Kpler.
  
  In August, India’s imports of Russian crude oil are set to decline to about 2 million bpd, Sumit Ritolia, Manager Modelling Refinery and Oil Markets at energy flows analytics firm Kpler, told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
  
  Going forward, India’s purchases from Russia are set to stabilize at a level of just above 2 million bpd, according to Ritolia.
  
  The recent pullback in imported crude from Russia is the result of a combination of factors.
  
  First, Ukrainian attacks on Russian export infrastructure haven’t allowed Russia to take full advantage of available crude for exports, the volumes of which have been rising due to the nearly-daily Ukrainian drone attacks at Russian refineries.
  
  Then there is China, which has intensified buying of cheaper Russian crude oil, squeezing India out of some barrels.
  
  As a result, Indian refiners are looking far and wide for alternative supply, including from West Africa and the Americas, to meet demand that is expected to rise in the coming months.
  
  Indian state-controlled oil refiners continue to search the market for spot crude supply as term deliveries are constrained by the ongoing crisis in the Middle East and its key oil chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  In recent weeks, India’s state-run refiners have continued their buying spree of crude from West Africa as the Middle East crisis has sapped supply and made deliveries uncertain. Source: Oilprice.com

  Qatar Loses $24 Billion as LNG Exports Collapse 96%

The... Read more Six months since the Iran war crippled Qatar’s LNG exports via the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s second-largest liquefied natural gas exporter has lost $24 billion in sales as exports tumbled by as much as 96%, Reuters calculations showed on Wednesday.
  
  The number of LNG cargoes that Qatar has managed to export crashed to just 18, down from 509 cargoes shipped from Qatar in the same period of last year, per data from data intelligence firm ICIS cited by Reuters.
  
  Qatar’s LNG exports are arguably the biggest energy commodity casualty of the war, as Qatar hasn’t managed to sneak as many vessels out of Hormuz as the UAE, for example, has done in recent months.
  
  The slashed exports from Qatar have wide-ranging implications for the global LNG and gas markets, with U.S. LNG exports benefitting from high prices and no-conflict-zone origin and Europe left without Qatari shipments, struggling to fill gas storage sites ahead of the winter.
  
  The de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz has trapped about 20% of daily global LNG flows. In addition, Iranian drone and missile strikes on energy infrastructure in the region have damaged Qatar’s key LNG liquefaction complex, Ras Laffan.
  
  Qatar’s state firm QatarEnergy expects the damage to the Ras Laffan LNG complex, the world’s single largest LNG-producing facility, to cost it about $20 billion per year in lost revenue and to take up to five years to repair.
  
  QatarEnergy has been forced to declare force majeure for up to five years on some long-term LNG contracts.
  
  The LNG crunch has sent Asian and European gas prices to the highest levels in three years and stoked fears about rebuilding gas inventories in Europe ahead of the next winter.
  
  Natural gas prices in Europe need to jump by December for European storage to fill up with enough inventory for the coming winter if the Strait of Hormuz crisis persists and keeps spot LNG prices in Asia elevated, Goldman Sachs said earlier this month.
