A Ramform Titan-class vessel is scheduled to commence data acquisition in October 2026, with completion in Q2/Q3 2027.

Building on Pelotas Sul Phase 1, acquired earlier this year, the new survey will further expand TGS' high-quality 3D seismic coverage in a frontier basin that continues to attract industry interest. The Pelotas Basin is supported by geological analogs along the conjugate margin and de-risked by discoveries in Namibia. The basin offers a broad range of underexplored play concepts, including turbidite systems, deep-water channels, and stratigraphic and structural traps.

Pelotas Sul Phase 2 includes a balanced mix of held and open acreage. This provides data coverage relevant to companies evaluating existing acreage, while also creating opportunities linked to future licensing rounds and potential farm-in activity.

Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented: “Pelotas Sul Phase 2 builds on the strong foundation established by Phase 1 and further expands our coverage in a basin that is attracting growing client interest. The project will provide additional high-quality subsurface insight across both held and open acreage, supporting our customers as they evaluate existing positions and future exploration opportunities in the southern Pelotas Basin.”

The Ministers reviewed market conditions and agreed to continue consultation with all OPEC plus countries, through already established mechanisms including the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) and the OPEC and Non-OPEC Ministerial Meetings (ONOMM) and reaffirmed their commitment to the decisions made on 7 June 2026 (41st ONOMM) to achieve and sustain a stable oil market.

In this context, the Ministers affirmed the critical importance of safeguarding the international maritime routes to ensure the uninterrupted flow of energy. They also noted that the current interruption of energy flows has elevated the cost of shipping and insurance which have reached unprecedented levels of more than one third of the commodity value, impeding the timely and efficient movement of crude oil and products, and placing additional inflationary pressures on the global economy.

The Ministers further stressed that these exceptionally elevated costs are ultimately transmitted across the oil value chain increasing and prolonging the cost burden on producing and consuming countries and impacting global economic growth. The Ministers will continue monitoring the situation, and will engage with governments, industry stakeholders, and international organizations such as the IEF, IEA, and others to improve global shipping conditions.

“These achievements highlight Murphy’s ability to create value across exploration, appraisal and development,” stated Eric M. Hambly, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Bubale West-1X and Lac Da Trang North-1X further expand our resource potential, while development progress at Lac Da Vang and Chinook #8 demonstrate our ability to efficiently convert resources into production and cash flow. Together, these results strengthen our portfolio and position Murphy to create long-term shareholder value.”

CÔTE D’IVOIRE

The Bubale West-1X well in Block CI-103 offshore Côte d’Ivoire was drilled to a total measured depth of approximately 19,357 feet (5,900 meters) in 9,039 feet (2,755 meters) of water and encountered approximately 88 feet (27 meters) of net oil pay in the Turonian reservoir. Additional hydrocarbons were also encountered in the deeper Albian reservoir.

Preliminary analysis of logs and fluid samples indicates high-quality oil. Information obtained from the well will be integrated with existing subsurface data to optimize the remaining appraisal program at Bubale.

Murphy’s subsidiary, Murphy CI-103 Oil Co., Ltd., holds an 85 percent working interest in Block CI-103 and serves as operator. Société Nationale d’Opérations Pétrolières de la Côte d’Ivoire (PETROCI) holds the remaining 15 percent working interest.

VIETNAM

Murphy achieved first oil from the Lac Da Vang field in Block 15-1/05 offshore Vietnam on September 27, 2026. The development is expected to ramp up through 2028 as additional wells are brought online, with net peak production of approximately 10-15 MBOEPD in 2028-2029.

The achievement of first oil represents a major milestone in Murphy’s Vietnam strategy and establishes a new source of production and cash flow from the Company’s offshore portfolio.

Murphy also announced a successful exploration result at the Lac Da Trang North-1X well in Block 15-1/05, which encountered 131 feet (40 meters) of net oil pay. The well was drilled to a total measured depth of approximately 12,579 feet (3,834 meters) in 147 feet (45 meters) of water.

The Company and its partners will evaluate the Lac Da Trang North-1X data and assess potential appraisal and development options. Importantly, the now-producing Lac Da Vang asset provides nearby infrastructure for a potential tieback of the Lac Da Trang North discovery, creating a pathway to a capital-efficient, shorter-cycle development.

Murphy’s subsidiary, Murphy Cuu Long Bac Oil Co., Ltd., serves as the operator of Block 15-1/05, holding a 40 percent working interest. PetroVietnam Exploration Production Corporation Ltd. holds a 35 percent working interest and SK Earthon Co. Ltd. holds the remaining 25 percent.

GULF OF AMERICA

The Chinook #8 development well in Walker Ridge Block 425 is now online and producing through the Pioneer floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) in the Cascade-Chinook field. Consistent with pre-drill expectations, the well achieved an initial gross production rate of approximately 15 MBOEPD.

Murphy, through its subsidiaries, holds an 86.7 percent working interest in Chinook #8. Petrobras America Inc. holds the remaining 13.3 percent through its ownership interest in MP GOM.

The agreement covers gas from the Norwegian continental shelf, where production and pipeline transport have a comparatively low greenhouse gas footprint among gas sources supplied to Europe. Commercial terms are confidential between the parties.

In addition to the gas supply, Equinor will transfer verified environmental attributes to Eneco through the digital platform operated by Attributes SA. The greenhouse gas footprint of the gas under this contract is 11.8% lower* than the average for gas supplied through the Dutch grid.

“This is the third long-term agreement we have signed with Eneco this year, and I am very pleased that we are further expanding our relationship. Across all three agreements, the gas supplied by Equinor includes verified attributes through the Attributes platform, providing documented data on the origin of the gas and its upstream greenhouse gas footprint. This is another clear signal that major European energy companies value Norwegian gas for its reliability and comparatively low emissions footprint,” says Helle Østergaard Kristiansen, Equinor’s senior vice president for Gas & Power.

“Eneco is dedicated to building a future based on sustainable energy, while recognising that many households and small businesses will continue to rely on natural gas as part of their energy supply. With this agreement, we will supply all our residential and small business customers in the Netherlands with Norwegian gas and take a step forward in a secure and reliable energy supply for Europe,” says Selina Thurer, Board Member Customers at Eneco.

Attributes SA’s digital platform provides independent tracking of Equinor’s emissions data to Eneco, based on data reported to and published by Norwegian authorities. More information is available at Attributes | Energy Traceability.

*The calculation of the CO2e footprint is based on total lifecycle emissions (extraction, transport, combustion) using emission factors from CO2-emissiefactoren.nl. This is the Dutch standard for CO₂ calculations, for which Royal Haskoning performs the underlying lifecycle emission calculations for natural gas. The difference between the Dutch natural gas mix and the gas supplied by Equinor is determined annually. The current comparison is based on 2025. There is no difference in emissions during gas consumption, but there is a difference regarding the extraction and transport of the Norwegian gas.

  - Une remise de 200 €/m3 sur le fioul domestique
  - Une mise en œuvre du 1er novembre 2026 jusqu'au 31 janvier 2027

À la suite de la réunion qui s'est tenue à Matignon entre le gouvernement et les distributeurs de carburants, TotalEnergies s'engage à restituer aux Français l'avantage économique lié à la libération de stocks stratégiques au coût historique à compter du 1er novembre 2026 jusqu'au 31 janvier 2027.

TotalEnergies a donné son accord pour que les stocks stratégiques soient répartis selon les parts de marché observées avant la crise, soit 23% dans la distribution en stations-service en 2025 pour la Compagnie (contre plus de 30% aujourd'hui). Ce dispositif permet ainsi aux autres distributeurs d'accéder à un volume proportionnellement plus important et de se repositionner par rapport à TotalEnergies.

Un avantage d'environ 10 cts €/L sur le diesel routier qui sera répercuté à la pompe

Compte tenu de cette répartition des stocks stratégiques, l'avantage pour les stations TotalEnergies sera de l'ordre de 10 cts €/L.

TotalEnergies répercutera l'avantage lié à la libération des stocks stratégiques sur les prix du diesel dans les 3300 stations de son réseau, en fonction de l'évolution des marchés internationaux du diesel. Sur la base des cotations actuelles, les prix se situeraient par exemple entre 2,15 €/L et 2,20 €/L (sous le plafond de 2,25 €/L) alors que la plupart des stations-service de TotalEnergies sont aujourd'hui au plafond. Ainsi, TotalEnergies a l'ambition de continuer à être le réseau le moins cher de France.

Par ailleurs, TotalEnergies conserve le plafond mis en place depuis mars 2026, qui garantit aux consommateurs un prix maximum de 2,25 €/L pour le diesel, y compris au-delà de fin janvier 2027 quand l'avantage lié à la libération des stocks stratégiques s'estompera.

Une remise de 20 cts €/L du GNR pour les agriculteurs, les pêcheurs et travaux publics

Compte tenu de la part de marché de 35% de TotalEnergies dans le commerce général du diesel en France, TotalEnergies a également décidé de faire bénéficier de cette libération de stocks stratégiques les agriculteurs, les pêcheurs et les entreprises de travaux publics en faisant une remise de -20 cts €/L sur le Gazole Non Routier (GNR) par rapport au prix du marché international du diesel.

Une remise de 200 €/m3 pour les utilisateurs de fioul domestique

Enfin, TotalEnergies a également décidé de répercuter l'avantage tiré des stocks stratégiques à ses clients se chauffant au fioul domestique en appliquant une remise de 200 €/m3 sur le fioul domestique, pour faire face à la forte augmentation de son prix, à compter du 1er novembre 2026.

L'ensemble de ces mesures sera mis en œuvre à compter du 1er novembre 2026 jusqu'au 31 janvier 2027, durant les 3 mois de libération des stocks stratégiques.

Le prix repère de vente de gaz est composé de trois parts :

  - La fourniture, qui se répartit entre :

   * l’approvisionnement, qui évolue chaque mois et qui repose à 80% sur l’indice MA2 (« month ahead », mois à venir), correspondant à la moyenne des cotations sur la plateforme EEX du contrat futur mensuel constatées pour le mois de livraison sur la période d’un mois se terminant un mois avant le mois de livraison, donc pour octobre 2026 la moyenne des prix constatés du 1er au 30 septembre 2026 ; et à 20% sur l’indice QA (« Quarter ahead », trimestre à venir), correspondant à la moyenne des cotations sur la plateforme EEX du contrat futur trimestriel constatées pour le trimestre de livraison, sur la période d’un mois se terminant un mois avant le trimestre de livraison visé, soit pour octobre 2026, du 1er au 30 septembre 2026 ;

   * les coûts associés à l’activité de fourniture de gaz naturel par le biais des coûts commerciaux, de la prime de risque du et de sa marge, ainsi que du coût associé à l’approvisionnement des certificats d’économie d’énergie (CEE) et de production de biogaz (CPB) ;

  - l’acheminement, c’est-à-dire les tarifs de réseau et de stockage, qui évoluent au 1er avril pour le transport et le stockage et au 1er juillet pour la distribution, conformément aux tarifs déterminés par la CRE : Accès des tiers aux réseaux transport (ATRT), Accès des tiers au stockage (ATS) et Accès des tiers aux réseaux de distribution (ATRD) ;

  - les taxes (CTA, TVA et accise sur le gaz naturel), décidées par l’Etat.
Seule la part approvisionnement évolue au 1er novembre 2026. Conséquence d’une augmentation des prix sur les marchés du gaz au mois de septembre comparativement à août, le PRVG augmente en moyenne de 6,6 % TTC au 1er novembre (à 194,90 €/MWh TTC contre 182,88 €/MWh TTC au 1er octobre).

La CRE évalue l’impact sur les factures à 12 € TTC en moyenne au mois de novembre pour les consommateurs dont les offres sont indexées au PRVG. Les ménages qui ont souscrit une offre à prix fixe (environ 40 % des consommateurs résidentiels de gaz à fin 2025) ne sont donc pas concernés.

Sous réserve que la situation reste à peu près stable d’ici la fin de l’année, la CRE estime que la facture annuelle 2026 pourrait être en moyenne 11 % plus élevée que la facture annuelle 2025 (soit +135 € TTC environ), les prix de début d’année ayant été relativement bas.

Au 30 juin 2026, 10,23 millions de ménages disposent d’un contrat de gaz naturel.

Ruwais LNG is located in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi, and is being developed by ADNOC. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract was awarded to Technip Energies, leading a joint venture (TJN RUWAIS JV) together with JGC and NMDC Energy. The plant will comprise two natural gas liquefaction trains with a combined LNG production capacity of 9.6 Mtpa. Unlike conventional facilities, Ruwais LNG will run on electric-driven motors rather than gas turbines, powered by clean energy, making it the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to operate on clean power and one of the lowest carbon-intensity LNG plants in the world. The project will more than double ADNOC’s LNG production capacity, aligning with growing global gas demand and the industry’s shift towards decarbonization.

AMPO POYAM VALVES’ scope covers cryogenic ball valves from 3″ to 24”, to be installed across the onshore LNG liquefaction facilities of the two electrically driven trains. The order currently in production comprises more than 600 cryogenic ball valves.

AMPO has been designing and manufacturing cryogenic ball valves since 1986, and this nearly four-decade track record was a key factor in securing the award. Over the years, this expertise has positioned AMPO as a supplier of choice for some of the world’s most demanding LNG developments, from major liquefaction and export terminals along the U.S. Gulf Coast, Qatar and Australia to regasification facilities in Asia and Europe, and now for one of the flagship lower-carbon projects in the Middle East.

  - Sale to Pertamina: Eni will sell its 10% interest in the East Sepinggan, North Ganal, and Rapak PSCs to Pertamina, Indonesia’s national energy company and the country’s largest oil and gas producer, which plays a strategic role in East Kalimantan’s energy infrastructure and upstream gas network. These assets include the producing Merakes and East Merakes gas fields, as well as Geng North–Gehem gas discoveries, which are currently being developed through the North Hub gas project, designated as a National Strategic Project.

  - Sale to Medco: Eni will sell its 10% interest in the West Ganal, East Ganal, Ganal and Muara Bakau PSCs to Medco, a leading Southeast Asian energy and natural resources company. These assets include the producing Jangkrik field; the Maha, Gendalo and Gandang gas projects being executed as part of the South Hub project; and the recently announced Geliga giant gas discovery.

The transactions follow the recent start-up of Searah and reflect the strong value growth that Eni has generated across the Kutei Basin in recent years through its distinctive exploration and development capabilities. Recent exploration successes at Geng North and Geliga have identified more than 10 Tcf of gas and 650 million barrels of condensate. Together with the final investment decisions announced last March for the North Hub and South Hub projects, these results have created significant value for Eni and attracted strong industry interest in the assets.

Completion of both transactions is subject to customary governmental and regulatory approvals.

Eni has operated in Indonesia since 2001, maintaining a diversified upstream portfolio which includes exploration, development and production and more recently focusing on the agri- business.

Eni directly operates the Peri-Mahakam PSC, the Makassar Strait PSC and the recently awarded Sapukala block. Since June 2026 Eni owns a 50% share together with Petronas of the newly formed Searah company that brings the two companies’ complementary portfolios, capabilities, and regional expertise to deliver long-term value creation and operational excellence across Indonesia and Malaysia. With a portfolio of 19 gas-producing and development assets —14 in Indonesia and 5 in Malaysia — Searah is producing around 350 kboe/d, aiming to exceed 500 kboe/d of sustainable production by 2028.

Asset Highlights

  - Current net production of approximately 300 MMcfd of natural gas
  - Approximately 72,000 net acres strategically located in the core of the Haynesville and Bossier development areas
  - Approximately 300 gross operated development locations, which provides meaningful growth and inventory life

Silver Hill assembled most of the position through strategic acquisitions between late 2021 and mid-2023. Amid exceptional gas-market volatility, it operated up to four rigs and improved development and cost efficiencies. Production increased from under 100 MMcfd to more than 300 MMcfd, while the company retained hundreds of additional drilling locations. Expanded midstream and saltwater-disposal capacity, long-term gathering and transportation agreements, and flow assurance further supported attractive Gulf Coast trading opportunities.

“After years of disciplined growth and risk management in a fluctuating market, we are thrilled with this outcome and confident our assets will thrive under Centalion’s stewardship,” said Silver Hill Founder & CEO Kyle D. Miller. “A collaborative and commercial approach from both teams ensured an efficient process, and we look forward to seeing these assets play an increasingly important role for the Haynesville and the broader natural gas market.”

This acquisition furthers Centalion’s Gulf Coast natural gas strategy, building upon the group’s acquisition of assets in the Haynesville earlier this year. On a pro-forma basis, Centalion’s Haynesville footprint ranks as one of the largest amongst private operators and positions it as a significant market participant in the US natural gas market.

“This acquisition adds a high-quality, scalable position in the core of Haynesville, with a substantial development runway,” said Gary Pedersen, Chairman & CEO of Centalion, “Consistent with the goals of U.S. energy dominance, Centalion will deploy capital to develop U.S. natural resources, generate economic activity in communities, and bolster the domestic energy supply on which households and industries depend.”

The transaction marks the continuing success of Centalion’s partnership with Western Natural Resources (“WNR”), led by Heath Mireles. Together with WNR, Centalion intends to execute on an active development program, grow the platform in the basin, and leverage Centalion’s integrated Gulf Coast gas capabilities to create long-term value.

Strategic Gulf Coast access provides exposure to multiple domestic and LNG (liquefied natural gas) demand points, and the group expects to maximize value by capturing optimization opportunities while leveraging its established marketing and trading capabilities.

Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Eagle Ford assets to Crescent Energy Company for total consideration of $4.2 billion in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments.

“This sale is a direct outcome of our ongoing portfolio review, and it sharpens our focus on the highest-return, longest-duration assets,” said Clay Gaspar, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past several years, we have leveraged technology to lower costs and increase productivity while coring up our Eagle Ford acreage footprint, and the attractive price agreed to reflects both the quality of the assets and that work. Selling a relatively mature asset into a strong commodity price environment improves our go-forward capital efficiency and allows us to accelerate share buybacks, strengthen our balance sheet and increase long-term value for shareholders.”

TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

  - Asset details: The Eagle Ford assets to be sold consist of approximately 90,000 net acres in Karnes, DeWitt, and Gonzales Counties, Texas. The assets represent approximately 4% of Devon's total BOE production.
  - Attractive valuation: The $4.2 billion purchase price fully reflects the value of Devon’s Eagle Ford production and inventory and is accretive on a per share basis to Free Cash Flow and Net Asset Value.
  - Portfolio high-grading and improved capital efficiency: The divestiture lengthens Devon’s inventory life, lowers the go-forward corporate breakeven and reduces the corporate base production decline rate.
  - Financial flexibility: After-tax proceeds will be used to accelerate share repurchases and to strengthen the balance sheet through debt reduction.

“This transaction is our strategy at work,” added Gaspar. “We acted decisively and countercyclically while navigating a volatile macro environment and received a price above our internal hold case, including potential strategic upside. This divestiture builds on the accretive steps taken in 2026 – combining with Coterra, adding premier Delaware Basin inventory in the federal lease sale and investing in the Solitude pipeline to integrate our gas production from wellhead to market. This marks meaningful progress in our disciplined portfolio review. We remain focused on improving the quality and longevity of our portfolio, expanding our margins and enhancing long-term value per share.”

TIMING AND ADVISORS

The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2026 and is expected to close around year-end 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Devon will provide additional details, including the impact on its outlook, with its third-quarter 2026 results on November 5, 2026 and conference call and webcast on November 6, 2026.

RBC Richardson Barr is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal advisor to Devon.

At closing, Chevron expects to recognize a one-time after-tax loss estimated at approximately $3 to $4 billion,(1) given that the company is unable to recognize future Bakken midstream cost savings as an asset.

“This transaction resets the commercial framework between our upstream and midstream assets in the Bakken and DJ Basins,” said Andy Walz, Chevron’s President of Downstream, Midstream and Chemicals. “It lowers our Bakken cost structure while positioning Hess Midstream to advance as an independent company.” Chevron expects to sustain Bakken production through ongoing technology deployment and operational improvements drawn from its global shale and tight portfolio.

Approvals and Timing

The transaction has been approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the general partner of Hess Midstream, comprised entirely of independent directors, following consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close by year-end 2026.

Between 0.5 million and 1.6 million standard cubic metres of recoverable oil equivalents have been discovered. This corresponds to 3.3 to 10.3 million barrels of oil equivalent.

The exploration well was drilled as a sidetrack in connection with the drilling of a production well.

“It is very positive that it is possible to make discoveries of this size with such cost-effective exploration wells. These will be profitable barrels that can help maintain activity and production on the Gullfaks field," says Gunnar Egge, Equinor’s vice president for the Gullfaks field.

The drilling rig Askeladden has drilled the well.

The discovery is within the production licence for Gullfaks and thus has the same owners as Gullfaks. These are Equinor, Petoro and OMV.

The exploration well is formally named 34/10-D-4 BH.

  - Includes three natural gas processing plants with a total capacity of approximately 675 MMcf/d
  - Supported by high-quality customers with an average contract life of approximately 10 years
  - Immediately accretive to Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) per common unit

Energy Transfer LP (Texas Stock Exchange, TXSE: ET) and Vaquero Midstream LLC (Vaquero) announced today that the parties have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Energy Transfer will acquire Vaquero in a bolt-on transaction valued at approximately $2.625 billion. The transaction consideration will consist of $1.95 billion in cash and approximately 33.3 million newly issued Energy Transfer common units. The acquisition is expected to close in the 4th quarter 2026, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

Complementary Assets Strengthen Integrated Network

Vaquero has a rapidly growing midstream services business, including wellhead gathering and intrabasin transportation pipelines, as well as a natural gas processing complex. The company's approximately 300-mile pipeline network serves leading operators across some of the most active areas of the Delaware Basin, including Loving, Reeves, Ward and Winkler counties. Vaquero currently operates the Caymus Processing Complex, which includes three processing trains with a total capacity of approximately 675 MMcf/d, and owns sufficient acreage to support the construction of two additional trains that could increase total processing capacity to up to approximately 1.2 Bcf/d.

Vaquero’s system is supported by long-term, fee-based firm contracts and acreage dedications, providing a stable and predictable cash flow profile. The addition of Vaquero’s assets is expected to further strengthen Energy Transfer's Permian footprint by increasing access to growing natural gas and NGL production volumes while enhancing connectivity to the partnership's broader midstream platform.

The Vaquero assets are already interconnected with Energy Transfer's downstream natural gas and NGL infrastructure, creating benefits across the partnership's value chain. This connectivity is expected to generate incremental revenue opportunities through pipeline transportation, fractionation, terminalling, and export services.

The acquisition is expected to enhance Energy Transfer's strategic position in one of the most active and lowest-cost producing regions in North America. The assets are well positioned to benefit from continued development across the Delaware Basin and provide additional long-term growth opportunities as production expands around Energy Transfer's existing infrastructure network.

Positive Financial Impact

Energy Transfer expects the Vaquero assets to be immediately accretive to DCF per common unit. Vaquero’s cash flows are supported by approximately 100,000 dedicated acres and a high-quality customer base with contracts having an average remaining life of approximately 10 years.

The project will increase the share of renewable energy used in refinery operations and reduce the associated carbon emissions. Rompetrol Rafinare estimates an annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 6,024 tons of CO₂, contributing to national and European decarbonization targets.

The total project value is approximately 44 million lei, comprising about 14 million lei in non-refundable financing from the Modernization Fund and a 30-million-lei contribution from Rompetrol Rafinare.

The project is scheduled for implementation by December 31, 2028, in accordance with the deadline set for the funding call. The project is part of the KMG International (Rompetrol) Group's comprehensive decarbonization strategy.

In recent years, the Petromidia refinery has implemented significant projects to reduce environmental impact, increase energy efficiency, optimize technological processes, and strengthen the platform's energy independence.

A flagship project is the new cogeneration plant at the Petromidia site, which entered commercial operation at the end of 2025. With an installed capacity of approximately 80 MW, the plant currently meets the refinery's electricity and process steam requirements, contributing to the optimization of energy consumption and increased operational efficiency.

As a result of continuous investments and upgrades, alongside production optimization efforts, Petromidia recorded a refining capacity utilization rate of 98.11% in the first half of the year. During this period, the refinery achieved a white product yield of 86.54% and improved its Energy Intensity Index (EII) to a new all-time low of 92 points – 0.4 points below the level recorded in the same period last year.

The Petromidia refinery is the KMG International Group's main asset and one of the most modern industrial complexes in the Black Sea region, playing a vital role in supplying fuel to Romania and regional markets.

Recently, Rompetrol Rafinare announced the launch of a project to develop a photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 4.8 MW and an energy storage system of approximately 9 MWh at the Vega Ploieşti refinery.

The photovoltaic plant is estimated to generate over 6,200 MWh of renewable energy annually, with the entire output intended for internal consumption. This estimated production is equivalent to approximately two-thirds of the Vega refinery's annual electricity consumption.

The significant shareholders of Rompetrol Rafinare are KMG International (54.63% – direct and indirect) and the Romanian State, through the Ministry of Energy (44.7%).

Une baisse du prix du litre de diesel de l’ordre de 12 à 18 centimes d’euro

Ils seront mis à disposition des distributeurs à leur prix d’acquisition avant crise, permettant mécaniquement de baisser les prix à la pompe, dans un ordre de grandeur évalué entre 12 et 18 centimes par litre de gazole, et ce pendant trois mois. Ces 10 millions de barils, issus des stocks stratégiques français, représenteront une partie significative des 54 millions de barils consommés sur trois mois

Les volumes libérés seront encadrés pour préserver notre sécurité d’approvisionnement.

Une baisse des prix pour tous les français qui s’ajoute aux aides existantes

Avec cette action, le Gouvernement décide de faire profiter tous les Français de cette libération de stocks stratégiques qu’ils ont participé à constituer. Cette baisse s’ajoutera aux aides existantes et pourra ainsi représenter une économie de 10 euros pour un plein moyen de diesel dans toutes les stations-services.

L’ensemble des distributeurs seront destinataires de ces stocks stratégiques. Le Gouvernement les réunira dans les prochaines heures pour travailler à la mise en œuvre effective de cette décision. L’effet de la libération de ces stocks stratégique fera l’objet de contrôles renforcés auprès des distributeurs par les services de l’Etat afin d’éviter tout effet d’aubaine et de garantir aux consommateurs l’effectivité de cette baisse.

Les barils seront mis sur le marché par la SAGESS, l’opérateur délégataire de la gestion des stocks stratégiques. Ces stocks seront reconstitués progressivement, après la fin de la crise actuelle, en fonction des conditions de marché.

« Ces stocks ont toujours servi à protéger les Français en cas de crise. Nous sommes dans une crise mondiale durable. Pour la première fois, nous les utilisons pour protéger leur pouvoir d'achat, de manière encadrée, temporaire, et coordonnée avec le G7. C’est un exemple d’action diplomatique parfaitement coordonnée par le président de la République » a déclaré Roland Lescure, ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle, énergétique et numérique.

« Nous mobilisons nos stocks stratégiques de Gazole pour faire baisser les prix et avoir une nouvelle action concrète pour le pouvoir d’achat des Français. Hors de question que l’effet positif de cette décision se dilue dans des effets d’aubaine. Nous contrôlerons chaque semaine que cette baisse arrive à la pompe : tout le monde doit jouer le jeu dans l’intérêt des Français » a déclaré Serge Papin, ministre des Petites et Moyennes entreprises, du Commerce, de l’Artisanat, du Tourisme et du Pouvoir d’achat.

« Le Gouvernement, conduit par le Premier ministre, continue sa politique de soutien ciblé en mettant sur le marché ces 10 millions de barils. Cette baisse permettra aux Français et à tous les professionnels concernés, agriculteurs, pêcheurs, BTP, de passer le pic hivernal de consommation du diesel plus sereinement » a déclaré Maud Bregeon, ministre déléguée chargée de l’Énergie.]]>30755http://www.euro-petrole.com/ne_03_actualite_i_details.php?idNews=30755Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0100

The updated figures for Snøhvit Future have been reported to the Ministry of Energy in connection with the government’s proposed national budget for 2027.

In December 2025, Equinor announced an updated cost estimate for the project of just over NOK 20 billion in 2025 value. When the plan for development and operation (PDO) was submitted in 2022, the investment estimate was NOK 13.2 billion. Adjusted to today's NOK value, this corresponds to NOK 15.2 billion.

"We take the cost development of Snøhvit Future seriously. The project is being carried out at an operating facility and is more complex than anticipated. It has also been affected by unforeseen issues and challenges," says Trond Bokn, Equinor's senior vice president for project development.

He points out that operational challenges at the Hammerfest LNG plant, weather conditions and difficult rock conditions in the power cable tunnel have affected progress and costs.

"We have worked closely with the suppliers to manage the complexity of the project and work together every day to deliver the project safely and efficiently. Snøhvit Future is still a profitable project that supports jobs in Hammerfest, Norwegian value creation and energy supply to Europe towards 2050," says Bokn.

Equinor expects the work on Snøhvit Future to continue to be demanding. The project and the suppliers are implementing targeted measures, systematic risk management and close integration with the operating plant.

The project serves two purposes. Onshore compression will help maintain plateau production at Hammerfest LNG when reservoir pressure declines. Electrification of Hammerfest LNG will cut annual CO₂ emissions by 850,000 tonnes, equivalent to two per cent of Norway's annual emissions.

Snøhvit Future is about 60 per cent complete. The compressor module was installed in August, and there is a high level of activity at Melkøya, in the tunnel project and among suppliers. In the development phase, it is expected that more than 70 per cent of value creation will go to Norwegian companies. More than a third of this will go to Northern Norway.

Snøhvit partnership: Equinor Energy AS 36.79%, Petoro AS 30%, TotalEnergies EP Norge AS 18.4%, Vår Energi ASA 12%, Harbour Energy Norge AS 2.81%

Cette implantation commune rassemble désormais l’ensemble des collaborateurs alsaciens du groupe sur un même site et fait du campus, avec plus de 800 collaborateurs, l’un des principaux employeurs du territoire.

Une présence de longue date en France et plus particulièrement en Alsace.

Présent en Alsace depuis plus de 60 ans, Endress+Hauser poursuit son développement dans la région. Après ses premiers bureaux à Saint-Louis, la société de commercialisation s’est installée à Huningue en 1977 dans un bâtiment spécialement construit pour accompagner sa croissance. Depuis lors, l’entreprise n’a cessé de renforcer sa présence sur le marché français.

Aujourd’hui, Endress+Hauser France emploie 350 collaborateurs répartis entre son siège alsacien – 140 personnes - et ses bureaux commerciaux de Bordeaux, Lyon et Paris.

À Cernay, Endress+Hauser fabrique depuis 1991 des débitmètres électromagnétiques, Vortex et ultrasons destinés aux marchés du monde entier. Porté par une croissance parmi les plus dynamiques du groupe, le site industriel a connu neuf extensions successives et est devenu la plus grande usine mondiale de production de débitmètres électromagnétiques. Il emploie aujourd’hui près de 700 personnes et a déjà produit plus de trois millions de débitmètres électromagnétiques.

Avec ce rapprochement, plus de 800 collaborateurs travaillent désormais sur un campus de 120 000 m² réunissant les expertises de la vente, du service et de la production.

Le groupe Endress+Hauser est également présent en France à travers Endress+Hauser Process Analysis Support, implanté sur le campus de Saint-Priest près de Lyon, ainsi qu’Analytik Jena France, basée à Saint-Aubin en région parisienne. Endress+Hauser Process Analysis Support développe des solutions clés en main basées sur les technologies Raman et TDLAS pour l’analyse avancée en ligne, tandis qu’Analytik Jena fournit des systèmes et équipements d’analyse chimique et bioanalytique pour les laboratoires.

Un nouveau siège social pour Endress+Hauser France

Baptisé Nexus, ce nouveau bâtiment incarne les ambitions d’Endress+Hauser en matière d’expérience client, d’attractivité employeur, de nouveaux modes de travail et de responsabilité sociétale et environnementale.

Sa conception a fait l’objet d’un concours réunissant plusieurs cabinets d’architecture afin de créer un lieu à la fois fonctionnel, accueillant et inspirant pour les collaborateurs comme pour les visiteurs. Le cabinet d’architecture strasbourgeois Oslo a imaginé un bâtiment innovant répondant aux normes environnementales les plus exigeantes.

Répartis sur 5 700 m², les espaces ont été conçus selon les principes de l’Activity Based Working (ABW). Le bâtiment comprend notamment un auditorium de 120 places, un Customer Experience Center, un espace d’innovation, de nombreux lieux de convivialité ainsi qu’une salle de sport.

Pensé par et pour les collaborateurs, Nexus s’appuie sur l’implication d’ambassadeurs internes participant activement aux choix d’aménagement et à la définition des espaces de travail.

Depuis le 5 janvier 2026, les 120 collaborateurs auparavant basés à Huningue ont intégré le campus de Cernay. Ils regroupent les équipes de vente, marketing, communication, services clients, projets clients, logistique, qualité, ressources humaines, informatique, comptabilité et finance.

Peter Selders, CEO du groupe Endress+Hauser:
« Le nouveau campus offre un cadre idéal pour renforcer la collaboration entre les équipes commerciales, de service et de production. Il nous permet d'être plus proches de nos clients, favorise l'innovation et soutient notre croissance à long terme »

Un bâtiment symbole de l’engagement RSE de l’entreprise

Le projet Nexus illustre concrètement les engagements environnementaux d’Endress+Hauser. Afin de limiter l’artificialisation des sols, le nouveau bâtiment a été construit sur l’emplacement d’une ancienne construction. Une attention particulière a également été portée à la valorisation des matériaux issus de la démolition : 96 % des 1 405 tonnes de déchets générés ont ainsi été réemployés ou recyclés. Les arbres présents sur la parcelle ont été préservés ou replantés et participent aujourd’hui à la qualité paysagère du campus.

Le bâtiment répond aux exigences de la réglementation environnementale RE2020, parmi les plus ambitieuses en Europe. Il consommera environ 70 % d’énergie en moins que l’ancien siège de Huningue.

Au-delà des exigences réglementaires, Endress+Hauser a intégré des solutions complémentaires afin de réduire davantage son empreinte environnementale : géothermie, panneaux photovoltaïques, végétalisation des toitures favorisant le cycle naturel de l’eau, ainsi qu’une conception optimisée du chauffage et du rafraîchissement. Dans une logique de sobriété énergétique, le bâtiment n’est pas équipé d’un système de climatisation traditionnel mais d’un système de rafraîchissement garantissant le confort des occupants durant les périodes estivales.
Fière de son ancrage régional, l’entreprise a privilégié les savoir-faire locaux tout au long du projet : 95 % des entreprises ayant participé à la construction sont implantées en Alsace.

La transmission au cœur de notre développement

L’apprentissage occupe une place importante au sein du campus Endress+Hauser à Cernay. Avec 64 alternants issus de branches professionnelles diverses (24 alternants chez Endress+Hauser France et 40 chez Endress+Hauser Flow France), le groupe affirme sa volonté de former les talents de demain et de favoriser leur insertion professionnelle.

In accordance with the mandate issued by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO), Enagás has successfully completed the permanent sealing of the 13 wells at the Castor storage facility by installing three plugs in each one. This follows the agreement adopted by the Council of Ministers on 31 October 2019 for the permanent sealing and decommissioning of the wells.

These well operations are highly complex and require a high level of technical expertise. They involved deploying the Noble Resolve jack-up floating offshore platform to install the barriers that guarantee the wells’ permanent sealing and restore the natural geological conditions that ensure permanent isolation.

Once this process was complete, the well conductors were cut off more than three metres below the seabed to remove any protruding parts of the installations. Consequently, the seabed was completely cleared of pipes associated with the wells, while maintaining the site in the safest possible conditions.

Sealing the wells marks the completion of one of the most significant stages of the process, which began with the technical hibernation of the storage facility. The site is now ready for the final phase of plugging and abandonment of offshore and onshore surface facilities.

The sealing operations comply with Spanish regulations and international standards for the plugging and abandonment of offshore wells (OEUK P&A Guidelines) and have been carried out in accordance with the environmental and safety criteria set out in the project’s Environmental Impact Statement and current Spanish legislation. All permanent plugs have been approved by an independent third party, the Well Examiner, as required under Royal Decree 1339/2018 on offshore safety.

The total estimated cost of permanently sealing the wells at the Castor underground storage facility is 241 million euros, pending receipt of the final certifications.

Preparatory work to ensure safe decommissioning

Prior to the permanent sealing of all the wells, Enagás completed the process of putting the Castor underground storage facility into hibernation by temporarily sealing the wells. By doing so the company fulfilled the work entrusted to it by the government in Royal Decree-Law 13/2014 of 3 October, in which urgent measures were adopted relating to the gas system and the ownership of nuclear power plants.

Since the beginning of the process, the following phases have been undertaken:

  - Phase 0. Analysis of the situation: As required by the government, a preliminary study of the asset and an exhaustive risk assessment taking different alternatives into account were carried out; a hibernation plan was drawn up to begin the process in March 2015. The subsequent phases were carried out after this analysis.

  - Phase 1. Inertisation: The controlled reduction of the pressure of the gas remaining on the surface was carried out as scheduled on the platform, in the gas pipeline and at the onshore facilities, leaving the infrastructure with minimum gas pressure. As part of the isolation process, all gas was removed from the surface installation, and the lines were inerted with low-pressure nitrogen.

  - Phase 2. Equipment conservation: Equipment conservation work was carried out in order to keep it in safe and working condition. Specifically, all of the compressors were preserved from both the plant and the platform; the electrical elements were protected and the valves were lubricated and covered with insulating material to protect them from the marine environment. The process also included: remote-control tasks for the platform; the rental of generators to supply the platform with electricity; the safe emptying of chemicals from the tanks, and the conservation of the other equipment.

  - Phase 3. Temporary sealing of the wells: Once it had been verified that all 13 storage wells and valves, both on the surface and at a depth of 150 metres, were leak-tight, two additional mechanical plugs were installed in each well, in addition to the two existing valves.

  - Phase 4. Sealing and permanent abandonment of wells. This involved installing permanent barriers inside each well using a combination of mechanical isolation elements and cement plugs designed to ensure longterm integrity. These barriers provide a permanent seal between the various geological formations encountered during drilling. This eliminates any possible route for fluid migration between the different subsurface strata or into the marine environment. This ensures that the wells are sealed safely and permanently in accordance with international standards and best practice in the offshore industry.

In addition to the subsea wells, the Castor storage facility comprises two surface installations: an onshore operations centre in the municipality of Vinaròs (Castellón), and an offshore structure situated in Spanish territorial waters, 21.6 km off the Mediterranean coast. The two installations are connected by a 30-inch-diameter gas pipeline, comprising a 21.6-km subsea section and an 8.7-km onshore section, as well as a parallel fibre-optic communications cable.

The offshore installation consists of a Wellhead Platform (WHP) and a Process, Utilities and Quarters Platform (PUQ), which are connected by a gangway. The 13 wells extended down from the WHP to the storage facility: 8 production wells, 4 monitoring wells and 1 fluid reinjection well.

  - Argentina LNG could support more than 40,000 jobs, and advance lasting socio-economic progress
  - YPF, Eni and XRG unite resource strength, LNG delivery expertise, global market access and long-term capital
  - Partnership aims to bring Argentina's gas to global markets, diversify supply and reinforce long-term energy security

His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Executive Chairman of XRG, said that XRG is backing Argentina's ambition to become a major new supplier of LNG to global markets.

Speaking at Argentina Week in Paris, Dr. Al Jaber said xxxxxx's participation in Argentina LNG reflects confidence in the scale and quality of Vaca Muerta, the country's improving investment environment and the combined ability of YPF, Eni and XRG to deliver a globally competitive LNG project.

"Argentina has the ingredients to build a world-class LNG business. Vaca Muerta is the world's second largest shale gas resource and the fourth largest for shale oil. Oil production is at record levels, and last year Argentina posted its largest energy trade surplus in more than three decades. That is not a forecast; it is a track record. It gives XRG confidence that the resource is real, the capability is proven and Argentina can deliver at scale."

During Argentina Week, hosted by the Government of Argentina, Dr. Al Jaber met President Javier Milei and joined a panel with Horacio Marín, Chairman and CEO of YPF, and Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni. He noted that investments of this scale span decades and require confidence, predictability and a shared commitment to delivery.

"The reforms led by President Milei, including the new RIGI investment framework, are creating the long-term stability that capital-intensive energy projects need and strengthening Argentina's appeal to international investors."

Dr. Al Jaber explained how success is not measured only in the LNG that leaves Argentina. "It's measured in the value that stays there. It means export earnings. It means business for local suppliers. It means skilled jobs for Argentine people. We are talking more than 40,000 jobs and billions flowing back into the Argentine economy. No country or company secures its energy future alone. You need different sources of supply, reliable routes to market, and partners you can count on."

Dr. Al Jaber said the partnership brings together complementary strengths: "YPF brings deep expertise across Argentina's energy value chain and is the leading shale operator in Vaca Muerta. Eni brings proven floating LNG delivery, including from Mozambique where XRG is already its partner. XRG brings long-term capital, global market reach and the technical and commercial capabilities built through ADNOC's five decades of operating at scale. Together, we can give customers, lenders, and stakeholders confidence that this complex project can be financed, delivered, and connected reliably to markets around the world."

Dr. Al Jaber also highlighted the deepening relationship between the UAE and Argentina. The two countries recently launched negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement and identified the YPF–XRG partnership as an example of the high-impact, long-term investment both countries want to advance.

The first phase of Argentina LNG is designed to produce 12 million tonnes per annum. The project supports XRG's ambition to become a top-five global gas player and establishes Latin America as an important new growth region within its portfolio.

In June 2026, XRG and Eni each agreed to acquire a 32% interest in three YPF-operated Vaca Muerta blocks: Meseta Buena Esperanza, Aguada Villanueva and Las Tacanas. YPF retains the remaining 36%, and completion is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

The blocks are expected to supply gas to the Argentina LNG project. The opportunity would add a major South Atlantic supply position to XRG's global gas platform, complementing its presence across North America, the Caspian region and Africa, while strengthening its ability to connect advantaged resources with long-term demand in key markets.

  - Decades of reliable supply for Switzerland: Cressier has continually evolved its manufacturing capabilities to meet Switzerland’s needs over the decades while improving energy efficiency and introducing lower-carbon energy solutions.

  - Investing in Cressier’s future decades: New co-processing capabilities will enable Cressier to use renewable and conventional feedstocks together to produce biofuels. From 2027, the site will process around 40,000 tonnes of renewable feedstock a year, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 90,000 tonnes annually, equivalent to 20,000 cars being taken off the road.

Since opening in 1966, Cressier has been central to the security of Switzerland’s energy system and today supplies around 30% of the country’s fuel demand. Today, as the nation’s only refinery, it is critical to producing essential fuels for Switzerland including diesel and jet fuel. Its independent crude supply by pipeline, together with its production and logistics capabilities, provides flexibility to support supply without relying on traditional import routes like the Rhine.

VAROPreem has continued to invest in Cressier’s core manufacturing capabilities. It became the first manufacturing hub in Switzerland to blend bioethanol and biodiesel at industrial scale in 2014. From 2020, the company’s investment has increased distillation capacity and yield while enabling the processing of a broader range of lighter crudes to support diversified supply. In 2023, VAROPreem commissioned a 7.7 MW solar farm with Groupe E, followed in 2024/25 by district heating using residual heat from the manufacturing hub.

Safety, environmental responsibility and strong local relationships remain fundamental to Cressier’s operations. Maintaining the safety and reliability of Cressier’s operations is the priority, alongside improved environmental performance and greater biodiversity. This is only possible through the expertise of its highly qualified staff and long-standing relationships with the local community.
VAROPreem has also made the decision to invest in a new co-processing project, representing the next step in Cressier’s evolution towards producing cleaner fuels from a broader range of renewable and conventional feedstocks. From 2027, this new plant, alongside Cressier’s existing infrastructure, will enable the site to use renewable and conventional feedstocks together to produce biofuels.

By connecting feedstock sourcing, co-processing expertise, Cressier’s manufacturing and logistics capabilities and customer demand, the project demonstrates VAROPreem’s integrated business model and twin-engine strategy in action: maintaining secure and reliable energy supply while scaling the sustainable energy solutions customers need.

Dev Sanyal, Group Chief Executive Officer of VAROPreem, said:
“Cressier is critical infrastructure for Switzerland, and we continue to invest in its future so that it can serve the country’s energy needs of today and the evolving energy needs of tomorrow. This latest investment builds on the strength of Cressier’s industrial capabilities and brings together expertise from across VAROPreem, including decades of experience in co-processing at our manufacturing hubs in Sweden. Through this landmark investment on our 60th anniversary, we continue to strengthen a vital conventional energy asset for Switzerland while expanding its role in the production of sustainable energies. I would like to thank all our team – past and present – for their dedication and commitment as we celebrate this important milestone.”

Pierre-André Page, President of the National Council of Switzerland, said:
“The 60th anniversary of the Cressier refinery is a remarkable milestone that reflects its ability to adapt to changing market needs, as demonstrated by its new co-processing unit. As a strategic asset for Switzerland’s energy supply, the Cressier refinery has remained firmly committed to its core priorities: safety and environmental responsibility.”

Enrique Espin, VP Manufacturing Switzerland, said:
“Cressier’s future is about combining security of supply with the energy transition. Co-processing will allow us to produce renewable fuels here in Switzerland, for the Swiss market, using our existing manufacturing and logistics infrastructure. From 2027, we expect to process around 40,000 tonnes of renewable feedstock annually and reduce CO₂ emissions by around 90,000 tonnes per year. It is a very concrete example of how an existing industrial asset can evolve and contribute to Switzerland’s transition while continuing to fulfil its essential role in energy supply.”

A net payment of £33 million ($43 million) has been paid to Spirit Energy, consisting of the upfront consideration of £57 million ($75 million), reduced by the interim post-tax cashflows calculated in accordance with the terms of the SPA between the effective economic date of 1 January 2025 and the 1 October 2026 completion date.

The Transaction delivers an immediate and meaningful contribution to Serica’s production, through the addition of around 10,000 boepd, and near-term cash generation. Free cash flow from the Acquired Assets is forecast to exceed $200 million by the end of 2028, more than double the expectation at the time of announcement in December 2025, due primarily to a stronger gas price outlook, a robust production outlook, and rephasing of some interim period production and cash flows into the post-completion period.

The Acquired Assets comprise a material Southern North Sea gas portfolio totalling 18.7 mmboe of 2P reserves, and 2C resources of 3.4 mmboe, as at the Transaction effective economic date of 1 January 2025(1).

The Transaction adds a 15% non-operated working interest in the Cygnus field, one of the largest producing gas fields on the UK Continental Shelf; a 25% non-operated working interest in the Clipper South gas field; operated positions across various assets in the Greater Markham Area (‘GMA’); and further operated and non-operated interests in gas fields across the Southern North Sea. The seller is retaining decommissioning liabilities on the operated assets, expected to constitute over 75% of the total estimated decommissioning liability, which further supports the attractive risk-adjusted economics of the Transaction.

Going forward, production from the Acquired Assets will be reported as Serica’s Southern North Sea Hub.

Chris Cox, Serica’s CEO, stated:
“We are delighted to complete this acquisition of high-quality assets which materially boost our production and reserves while increasing our commodity weighting towards gas. This is an excellent transaction for Serica: it is immediately cash generative, strengthens our position in the UK gas market and adds a significant new Southern North Sea hub to our portfolio. With forecast free cash flow from the acquired assets expected to exceed $200 million by the end of 2028, the value case has strengthened materially since announcement. We are excited to welcome our new colleagues in Hoofddorp in the Netherlands and Aberdeen to Serica and to move quickly into integration, as we continue to build a stronger, resilient, and cash-generative North Sea business.”

(1) The 2P reserves and 2C resources stated in this announcement are based on an independent evaluation carried out by Sproule ERCE. Reserves quantities have then been adjusted from the 30 June 2025 date of the Sproule ERCE evaluation to the Transaction effective economic date by adding back the actual sales volumes over the period 1 January to 30 June 2025.
