EIA Reports on Global Oil and Gas Trends

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's recent report indicates a 3% increase in global petroleum liquids production year-over-year, while natural gas production saw a decline of 2%. Despite the rise in production, energy companies faced challenges due to an 18% drop in Henry Hub natural gas prices and a 9% decrease in market capitalization. In South Sudan, Wildcat Petroleum is actively collaborating with Nile Petroleum Corporation to acquire assets previously held by Petronas, following a Memorandum of Understanding signed in September 2024. The company has also raised £156,000 in a share placement as part of its ongoing expansion efforts. Additionally, Atlantic Petroleum has announced its financial calendar for 2025, signaling its engagement in oil and gas joint ventures. The overall energy sector is navigating a landscape of fluctuating prices and strategic investments amid declining returns.
