India Boosts Gulf Oil Imports as Russian Crude Loses Its Price Advantage
India has imported higher volumes of crude oil from the Persian Gulf than from Russia so far in November, for the first time since the Iran war broke out and disrupted the normal supply chain through the Strait of Hormuz. So far this month, India is estimated to have imported about 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Persian Gulf, compared to 1.8 million bpd flows from Russia, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing data by Kpler. This is yet another sign that Strait of Hormuz flows have materially recovered in recent weeks,…
China Targets Global Gas Turbine Market as AI Power Demand Explodes
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 the Western firms’ dominance in this rapidly expanding market.

New gas turbine orders in the second quarter of the year stood at 38 gigawatts (GW), which was 29% higher than orders for the first quarter of the…
ASEAN Moves to Build Emergency Oil Reserves Amid Iran Supply Crisis
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations has agreed to set up a joint crude oil stockpiling scheme in response to the supply disruption from the war in Iran, which severely affected countries in the region.

THE INTELLIGENT BRIEF
The story leading this cycle — «Ukraine Peace Talks Yield Prisoner Deal but No Path to Peace» (OilPrice.com) — and the other high-impact stories in this cycle point with unusual concentration toward United States. When one country absorbs this share of global headlines, two possibilities apply: either something genuinely extraordinary is happening there, or the rest of the world is being displaced from the agenda. Both have consequences. My read: the energy transition is not an event — it is a decades-long process being simultaneously accelerated, slowed, and negotiated by different actors with incompatible interests. Any energy headline should be read by asking: who wins and who loses with this development? That question reveals more than the headline itself.
