Namibia, a potentially energy-rich West African country, could stimulate new crude oil trades for tankers including VLCCs and Suezmax vessels by the end of this decade, it’s been reported by Seatrade Maritime today. Namibia is being compared with Guyana in South America by some analysts, which is currently undergoing an energy-based economic transformation. Several oil companies have discovered oil in Namibian offshore waters recently, including Shell, TotalEnergies, and Portugal’s Galp Energia. #tankers #drybulk

Corporate Rock Stars In The House U2 in residence at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas it was not*, but, if you are involved with LNG, are in Manila, Philippines and you get the chance to experience the incredible live performance of Shell's Annual LNG Outlook at the Grand Hyatt Manila by LNG Corporate Rock Stars Mehdi Chennoufi and Ajay Shah, you take it! I was reminded of Workday's award-winning advertising campaign the "Rock Star" which poked fun at the corporate world's overuse of the term "rock star", but as Donatella Versace once remarked, "the suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.” In this case, the term "rock star" for these besuited experts is well justified! Mehdi Chennoufi and Ajay Shah explained that Southeast Asia is emerging as a major LNG import region with Vietnam and the Philippines having started to import LNG to backfill declining domestic gas production. In the case of the Philippines, they showed that it has the potential to become a 10 MTPA market. When asked what government and regulators should do to make that a reality, they explained that LNG is not like oil and that the nature of the LNG industry requires all developing countries seeking to utilize LNG for long-term energy security to provide credit-worthy guarantees to enable cost-effective predictable supply, otherwise, they will be at the mercy of the spot market. *It has been pointed out to me that it was also NOT Meatloaf, KISS, Black Sabbath, Joan Jett, Billy Idol, Gary Clark Jr., or even Coldplay or Taylor Swift, to emphasize the point and relate to a wider range of generations than just Generation X! https://lnkd.in/gt3AYsuq #lovethephilippines #batangas #philippines #fsru #energysecurity #decarbonization #lngindustry #climatecrisis #energytransition #lng #FirstGenCorporation #sustainability #regenerative #shell

More good news from Namibia's exploration activities in the Orange Basin 👏🏽👏🏽!! I've been following exploration news from Guyana and what the discoveries have done to their GDP...Namibia has the potential to also use their discoveries to drive economic development. #oilAndGasIndustry #Namibia

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real,

Shell Namibia Upstream B.V. forgoes further contract extension for the offshore drilling rig Deepsea Bollsta in Namibia. This decision follows a significant contractual commitment through mid-2024 and aligns with Shell's exploration successes in the region, potentially influencing Namibia's economic landscape and job market. #ShellNamibia #DeepseaBollsta #OffshoreDrilling #OilExploration #NamibiaEconomy #EnergySector #MaritimeOperations #OilDiscoveries #EconomicGrowth #ResourceManagement

Very impressive discovery in Namibia by Galp and partners. Having followed, as an investor, the pre-salt in Brazil and later the Guyana discoveries, offshore Namibia always looked like an area with huge potential for large new oil finds. Many years after the first deep water wells in the Walvis basin, finally the Orange basin is becoming the “next Guyana” but the story is not over with exploration wells coming in the SA side of the basin as well as in the Walvis and Luderitz basins. #galp #namibia #africaoil

If completed as planned, NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG export terminal will be one of the largest projects of its kind in the country — accelerating the boom in U.S. LNG exports that’s taken hold over the last decade. The new terminal will also be the first large oil and gas development on largely unspoiled coastline near the United States–Mexico border. Over the last century, as companies built polluting petrochemical plants atop wetlands in much of Texas and Louisiana, the southeastern tip of Texas has remained a haven for birds, marine life and the thousands of people who live and work on the water. Many residents say they fear the new LNG infrastructure will ultimately do more harm than good for communities and the nature-based economy. Over the last decade, a broad coalition of city council members, Indigenous leaders, environmentalists and tourism operators has emerged to try to stop these projects through legal challenges and public protests.
