  • The G-Factor Is Back
    Item type: Other Publication
    Hulbert, Matthew (2011)
    European Energy Review
    Energy analyst Matthew Hulbert wonders, if markets are already jittery about unrest affecting small players such as Egypt and Tunisia, what will happen if major oil producers are affected? One thing is certain: after two years of “fundamentals” dictating oil prices, the “geopolitical factor” has returned to the oil market. And it is sending a strong message to OPEC: better quell the market now, or it might crush you later.
  • China's Future Troubles
    Item type: Other Publication
    Hulbert, Matthew (2010)
    European Energy Review
    No political risk appears to be too high for China in its quest for energy and commodities. The Chinese seem to thrive on political instability, much to the chagrin of western governments and multinationals. But what might look appealing to Beijing in the short term, could become a big headache in the long run. Ultimately China depends just as much on political stability as everyone else.
  • From Stockholm to Sofia
    Item type: Other Publication
    Hulbert, Matthew (2010)
    European Energy Review
    Having been on the road of late at various energy bashes, it was fascinating to get closer insights into how “opposite poles” on the European map see energy security playing out, namely in Stockholm and Sofia. Both capitals are key players in the future pipeline complexion of Europe. Nord Stream = up North in Scandinavia and the Southern corridor = down South in South East Europe.
  • Russian Arbitrage
    Item type: Other Publication
    Hulbert, Matthew (2010)
    European Energy Review
    Things are looking up for Russia. Prime Minister Putin finally opened a new pipeline exporting east Siberian oil to the Chinese mainland. Dubbed the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) link, the plan is to pump 1.6 million barrelds per day towards the Pacific Ocean over the next few years. The rationale is clear. Diversifying supplies to Asia offers Russia what all energy producers want: leverage over competing consumers in the East and West. Keep Asia keen, treat Europe mean. Cash in on the premium.
