I respect the commander of the Taiwanese army who came up with this Three Kingdoms period tactic!

the gasoline barrels are bait. they're hoping to lure the US military in with "free" oil.

Besides gasoline barrels, the Taiwanese military also has a Plan B in the ongoing drill—deploying soldiers to stop PLA landing fleets from landing. However, it👇 seems Taiwanese soldiers aren't too skilled with their guns.🤣

More like they are trying to prevent their guys from deserting and escape.

If it were easy to invade or colonize us, the Chinese authoritarian regime would have done it already. Today, it is financially, politically and economically impossible for the dictatorship to act. Let's hope that everyone can live in peace as long as possible

As Putin's fake election nears, Moscow has made the decision to pull the country's few remaining stocks of gasoline to the capital, which has conversely sent the regions into a desperate fuel-less death spiral. Scenes from Russia's city of Tyumen.

For the first 60 years of oil, we only used it for kerosene lighting. Gasoline was a waste product. Only after Henry Ford did we discover how to use billions of barrels of oil. Today’s GPT wrappers are like kerosene. If LLMs can write entire books for 15 cents, what use case can absorb $1 trillion of inference? What is the industrial scale gasoline level use case of AI? Full episode with Daniel Yergin, author of The Prize, out tomorrow.

We use 800,000 barrels of gasoline a day in California. We used to produce it here, in refineries like this. Democrat policies shut refineries down so now we only produce 550,000 and IMPORT the rest, as well as most of our crude. Higher gas prices AND carbon emissions. INSANE.

Russia now has to import gasoline from China. This is the ultimate humiliation for the Russians to be so at the mercy of China for both their imports AND exports.

🚨 25,000 BARRELS OF “FOREVER POISON” FOUND LEAKING INTO CALIFORNIA’S OCEAN “Twelve miles off Catalina Island… all these barrels just sitting on the ocean floor.” “What’s in them?” scientists asked. The answer: DDT, a pesticide so toxic it’s been banned for 50 years. They thought there were 50 barrels. They found 25,000 of them leaking poison across a stretch of seafloor larger than San Francisco. Sea lions riddled with cancer. Fish contaminated. The Pacific bleeding chemicals that never die. Montrose Chemical dumped thousands of barrels a month and some workers even poked holes in them so they’d sink faster. Seventy years later, the barrels are breaking open. And everyone acted like they didn’t know. How long have they known and said nothing?

Unlike the Biden administration, which left America’s oil reserves drained and damaged, the United States has arranged to more than replace these 172 million barrels of strategic reserves with approximately 200 million barrels within the next year—and at no cost to the taxpayer.

.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

The US is “more than happy” to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gasoline prices if needed, Energy Secretary Chris Wright tells Margaret Brennan. But the reserve, which he said has over 400 million barrels of oil, wouldn’t address the logistics issue. Oil tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively ceased, where 1/5 of the world’s oil usually transits.

BREAKING: Ukraine has struck the Antipinsky Oil Refinery in Tyumen, Russia with drones today, damaging Russia's largest privately owned oil refinery in one of Ukraine's deepest strikes at 2,000 km from the front. The Antipinsky Refinery has a capacity of ~160,000 barrels per day and is the only industrial oil refinery operating in Russia's Ural Federal District, supplying Euro-5 diesel and gasoline to the broader Urals/West Siberia region.

‼️‼️⛽️🇮🇳🇷🇺 Russia’s oil problems are beginning to hit one of its most important export markets, as Indian refiners cut purchases following supply disruptions caused by Ukrainian strikes. According to Bloomberg, India’s imports of Russian oil could fall to around 2 million barrels per day by the end of August, compared with 2.8 million barrels per day in July. Russia’s seaborne oil exports have also declined over the past four weeks to approximately 3.5 million barrels per day, down from more than 4 million in July. Until recently, India, Russia’s second-largest oil customer after China, had actually planned to increase purchases amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, Russia is now not only losing volumes from one of its biggest buyers, but is also being forced to import gasoline, including from India itself. The trend illustrates the broader impact of Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s energy infrastructure: the consequences are increasingly extending beyond damaged refineries and into Moscow’s export flows and relationships with major customers. When a major oil exporter finds itself simultaneously selling less crude to India while importing gasoline from the same country, the pressure on its refining system is becoming rather difficult to disguise.

In Russia’s Irkutsk region, authorities called on residents to stop driving their cars to make the remaining gasoline last until the next fuel delivery. "We have a certain amount of fuel left, and either we make it last until the next delivery arrives, or we run out twice as fast. Just imagine the entire city going without gasoline for a week - then we’ll truly understand how serious the situation is," said the mayor of the Nizhneilimsky district, adding that he now gets around on foot.

Dangote Refinery Receives Its Maiden Crude Cargo - Rotus Oddiri In a major step towards boosting Nigeria’s domestic refining capacity and attaining energy security (self-sufficiency), Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals plant has purchased 1 million barrels of Agbami crude grade from Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited (STASCO), one of the largest trading companies in Nigeria as well as globally, trading over 8 million barrels of crude oil per day. The STASCO cargo contained 1 million barrels from Agbami and sailed to Dangote Refinery’s Single Point Mooring (SPM) where it was discharged into the refinery’s crude oil tanks. The maiden 1 million barrels, which represent the first phase of the 6 million barrels of crude oil to be supplied to Dangote Petroleum Refinery by a range of suppliers, should sustain the initial 350,000 barrels per day to be processed by the facility. The next four cargoes will be supplied by the NNPC in two to three weeks and the final of the six cargoes will be supplied by ExxonMobil.

Everyone is asking why gasoline prices refuse to fall even as oil gets cheaper. The answer has nothing to do with crude supply. China is buying dramatically fewer barrels, pushing crude prices down. But refineries cannot flip a switch and instantly convert that crude into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Inventories were drained during months of disruption. New refinery capacity is years away. So the market has split in two: cheap crude on one side, historically expensive refined fuel on the other. The bottleneck was never about oil in the ground. It is about the world's shrinking ability to turn that oil into usable fuel, in the right place, at the right time. That gap is what shows up at the pump, and it is not closing anytime soon.
