TotalEnergies, Abu Dhabi's Masdar Receive EU Approval for Renewable Energy JV

French energy giant TotalEnergies (TTE) and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy, also known as Masdar, received the European Commission's approval for the creation of a joint venture, primarily aimed at renewable energy activities in the Asia-Pacific region.The joint venture was approved under the EU's merger regulation, with the commission concluding that it was unlikely to raise competition concerns, since it had little to do with the European Economic Area.According to the notice shared by the EU, the two companies are set to be engaged in "the development, financing, construction, operation, management and maintenance" of utility-scale solar power plants, onshore wind, and battery storage projects.The projects will be primarily located across Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Uzbekistan, thus having little impact, if any, on European markets.

TotalEnergies Seeks Compensation Over Connection Delay for NSE2 Wind in Germany

French energy major TotalEnergies (TTE) will remains committed to developing offshore wind energy in Germany while calling for a solution around its NSE2 project, it said in a statement on Thursday.The company has begun a strategic review of its German offshore wind projects acquired between 2023 and 2025, as announced one year ago, prompted by unforeseen delays by grid operators in connecting the projects to the transmission system, it said.The company is now in discussions with the German government to find a way to hand back the concession for its NordseeEnergies 2 or NSE2 project because of delays anduncertainties it has faced.TotalEnergies said the talks have not been successful and as a result, it has applied for approval of NSE2 and paid a first installment of 10% as per the licensing agreement.The company will now pursue compensation for the impacts it has suffered arising from the delays in connection timelines for NSE2, it said, while reiterating that it remains interested in pursuing wind project development in Germany in general.

Energy Firms Set for Windfall as Hormuz Closure Tightens Oil Supplies, Moody's Says

The global energy sector is bracing for a sustained period of elevated earnings, as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz forces a revision of price expectations and profitability for the world's biggest oil and gas producers, Moody's Ratings strategists said in a Monday note.In a mid-year industry update, Moody's maintained the positive outlook it assigned to the global energy industry in April but said it now expects even stronger earnings growth this year, driven by higher oil prices.The ratings agency expects Brent crude to trade mostly between $90 per barrel and $110/bbl through much of 2026, with periods of sharp volatility, before easing toward $80/bbl in Q2 2027.The agency's base-case scenario assumes a sustained disruption to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz that gradually eases later in 2026.Global markets are projected to rely heavily on commercial inventories, strategic petroleum reserves and coordinated stock releases by the International Energy Agency until normal flows via the strategic waterway resume.Higher prices will support stronger earnings growth across most segments of the energy industry, Moody's said, while cautioning that prolonged price spikes or fuel rationing could eventually undermine economic activity and energy demand.Exploration and production companies are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the tighter market.Moody's said crude producers in North and South America, particularly those with limited exposure to the Middle East, are positioned to capitalize on higher crude prices while maintaining disciplined spending plans.The agency said that US natural gas-focused producers should also benefit from stronger domestic gas prices, driven by growing liquefied natural gas exports, rising electricity demand and wider LNG price spreads resulting from disruptions in the Persian Gulf.Refiners are also projected to benefit from tighter product markets. Diesel and jet fuel margins have strengthened as inventories decline and supply chains remain constrained."Although crack spreads remain elevated, their durability is uncertain and the prospect of eventual demand destruction implies longer-term risks for earnings," strategists said.Though gasoline margins are projected to improve during the peak summer driving season, Moody's said that persistently high fuel prices could eventually curb demand."Gasoline margins should also benefit from stronger summer demand and refinery yield shifts toward diesel and jet fuel," according to the note.Moody's said refining profitability is likely to become more evident in Q2 earnings reports, particularly for operators with access to lower-cost crude supplies. US refiners retain advantages over competitors in Europe and Asia, supported by strategic reserve releases and relatively favorable access to feedstocks.The agency said integrated oil majors stand to gain from a combination of higher crude prices, stronger LNG markets and increased trading profits. Companies, including ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and TotalEnergies (TTE), benefit from production growth outside the Persian Gulf, helping offset disruptions in the region.State-owned Gulf producers are projected to see lower output volumes, partially compensated by higher prices."Large Gulf-based national oil companies are likely to offset lower volumes with significantly higher prices, although production risks remain elevated until the conflict is resolved," according to the note.Moody's cited Saudi Aramco, which reported a 26% increase in Q1 profit from a year ago.However, the outlook is less favorable for oilfield services providers. Moody's said geopolitical tensions have increased operating, logistics and insurance costs, limiting earnings growth despite strong activity levels in some international markets.The agency said demand in the Middle East is projected to recover in late 2026 and 2027 once shipping routes open and investment activity resumes."East is likely to rebound in late 2026 and 2027 with revived activity following a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz," strategists said.Price: $89.54, Change: $+1.06, Percent Change: +1.20%

Aker BP Stake Up in Johan Sverdrup Following Redetermination; TotalEnergies Also Gains, Equinor Steady

Aker BP, a European oil and gas exploration and production company, said Monday its ownership interest in Norway's Johan Sverdrup oilfield will increase following a redetermination process.The company will now hold a 31.7163% interest, compared with the previous 31.5733%, which Aker BP said will be reflected in its account beginning Q3.The review was initiated in January 2025 and was performed based on updated technical and production data, according to the statement.With the redetermination, production volumes will be reallocated and Aker BP said it will receive an additional 2.2 million barrels of oil equivalent over the next two years.The company will also pay about 300 million Norwegian krone ($31.70 million) before tax, "reflecting the reallocation of historic investments," it said.Following the review, TotalEnergies (TTE) will also increase its stake to 8.72% from 8.44%, Reuters reported, while the stake of operator Equinor (EQNR) will remain unchanged at 42.6267%.The ownership interest of Norway's state-owned Petoro will reportedly decrease to 16.94% from 17.36% previously.TotalEnergies, Equinor, and Potoro did not immediately respond to' requests for comments.The redetermination process does not affect ongoing operations at the Johan Sverdrup field.

Pakistan Buys Priciest LNG Shipment in Years From BP Singapore

Pakistan secured a cargo of liquefied natural gas at $19.13 per million British thermal units from BP (BP), the country's most expensive LNG shipment in four years, as it grapples with an energy shortage amid the double closure of the Strait of Hormuz.The purchase, for delivery between Jun. 6 and 8, reportedly follows the cancellation of a planned shipment from Qatar amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.The LNG tender that closed on Thursday included global energy firms such as PetroChina, Vitol, TotalEnergies (TTE), and Azerbaijan's SOCAR Trading.Pakistan is among the hardest hit by the Middle East conflict, as it depends on Qatar for nearly all its LNG and has experienced rolling blackouts due to severe fuel shortages, according to media reports.Price: $43.42, Change: $-0.62, Percent Change: -1.41%

Libya Pushes Ahead With Refinery Restart as Energy Sector Gains Momentum, Kpler Says

Libya's plan to restart the 220,000-barrel-per-day Ras Lanuf refinery could curb fuel imports and reduce crude shipments to Europe, Kpler said in a note on Wednesday.After reaching an agreement with its Emirati partner in mid-May, Libya's National Oil, also known as NOC, took full ownership of Ras Lanuf, ending a years-long dispute and clearing the way for refurbishment work, Kpler said.Kpler expects Libya's oil production to hold near 1.35 million b/d to 1.4 million b/d through 2027, although the firm believes the refinery is more likely to return during the second half of 2027 than within the timeline suggested by the NOC.Libya's energy sector gained momentum this year as TotalEnergies (TTE) and ConocoPhillips (COP) extended the Waha Oil concession through 2050 in January, followed by the country's first licensing round in 17 years in February, Kpler said.Repsol-led groups, MOL, the Eni-QatarEnergy partnership, Chevron (CVX) and Aiteo secured the licenses, while joint projects with Eni (E), Repsol and Sonatrach resulted in three new hydrocarbon discoveries in April, Kpler said.Libya currently refines about 100,000 b/d, with Zawiya accounting for most of that volume, while Marsa El Brega processes about 9,000 b/d, Sarir handles 10,000 b/d and Tobruk contributes roughly 20,000 b/d, Kpler estimates.Libya consumes as much as 250,000 b/d of transport fuels, including 90,000 b/d to 100,000 b/d of gasoline and 140,000 b/d to 150,000 b/d of diesel, Kpler data show.To meet that demand, Libya imports over 150,000 b/d of refined products, sourcing gasoline mainly from Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, while diesel supplies largely come from Italy and Turkey.If Ras Lanuf resumes operations, Libya could replace a large share of those imports with domestic production.The refinery would use Amna, Sarir and Mesla crude grades, which currently account for 270,000 b/d to 300,000 b/d of exports, potentially forcing buyers in Italy and the UK to find alternative supplies, Kpler said.Price: $89.62, Change: $+0.22, Percent Change: +0.25%

Market Chatter: Canada's CPP Investments, Czech EPH Among Potential Buyers of Uniper

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Czech EPH are expected to show interest in buying Uniper next week, with the sale of the German energy group expected to value it at more than 10 billion euros ($11.62 billion), Reuters reported, citing information from four people familiar with the matter.The sale of Uniper is the most sweeping change to Germany's utility landscape since Berlin bailed it out, together with SEFE, to the tune of almost 20 billion euros during the 2022 European energy crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Interested parties have a June 12 deadline to submit letters of interest to UBS and JPMorgan, the article said.Brookfield, Norway's Equinor (EQNR) and France's TotalEnergies (TTE) are also expected to show interest in part or all of the 74.12% stake on the Germany government offered for sale in May, the sources said.The initial letters of interest will not contain a purchase price but will show general information on the interested bidders, their ownership structure and details on how they would fund their purchase, the sources told Reuters.Over the summer, a second round of indicative offers is planned with the potential for a deal to be finalized in the autumn.The German government may also decide to sell a stake to an investor then offer more shares on the market at a later date, the article said.Uniper avoided previous takeover attempts since it was spun off from E ON in 2016 and dodged insolvency after the European energy crisis.Finland's Fortum, previously a majority owner of Uniper but later forced to sell to during the bailout, will show interest in Uniper's Swedish activities, comprising hydroelectric and nuclear plants. Fortum has confirmed its interest in those assets, should they be offered.Germany's biggest power producer RWE could also join the process, three of the sources said. Another potential suitor for the Swedish assets is Vattenfall, a spokesperson for the Swedish utility said.Germany's finance ministry, Uniper, CPPIB, EPH, Brookfield, Equinor, RWE and TotalEnergies declined Reuters' requests for comment.has reached out to all of these institutions and companies seeking comment on the matter.

New York Challenges Trump Offshore Wind Lease Cancellation in Lawsuit

New York and six other states have sued the Trump administration over a deal that would pay TotalEnergies $795 million to abandon an offshore wind lease off New York's coast, Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday.Calling the arrangement a "pay-not-to-play scheme," Hochul said the administration pressured a foreign energy company to walk away from offshore wind projects in favor of oil and gas investments.The lawsuit challenges a March 2026 agreement under which TotalEnergies (TTE) would surrender two offshore wind leases, invest hundreds of millions of dollars in fossil fuel projects and pledge not to pursue new offshore wind developments in the US.A TotalEnergies subsidiary, Attentive Energy, planned to develop the New York lease, which was expected to provide electricity to more than 700,000 homes and generate $25.6 billion in economic benefits over 25 years, including $10 billion in energy-bill savings.State officials said the project also would have created 1,716 jobs in New York while supporting infrastructure investment and long-term economic growth."The Trump administration is once again trying to kill clean energy projects and destroy good-paying jobs for New Yorkers," Attorney General Letitia James said.Attentive Energy paid $795 million for the offshore wind lease in 2022, but the Department of the Interior canceled the project in March 2026 after citing national security concerns and agreed to reimburse the company the same amount from the Judgment Fund.After courts blocked earlier attempts to halt wind-energy development, the administration "cooked up a sham deal to pay a foreign energy company hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to abandon offshore wind and invest in oil and gas instead," James said.The coalition, which includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont, argues the administration violated federal law and is asking the court to void the agreement, restore the lease and prevent further action to implement the deal.Department of the Interior and TotalEnergies did not immediately respond to' request for comment.Price: $89.58, Change: $+0.87, Percent Change: +0.98%
