US imports of Mexican crude fall to lowest on record, EIA says
reut.rs/4d3uET0
Quick Glance: US Imports of Mexican Crude Hit Record Low
- U.S. weekly imports of Mexican crude oil hit a record low in early April as Mexico's Pemex cut exports to supply more to domestic refineries.
- Imports dropped to 209,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the week ended April 5, compared to an average of about 733,000 bpd in 2023.
- Pemex's export reductions led to an increase in U.S. imports from Saudi Arabia to compensate for the shortage in Mexican crude.
- Prices for heavy crude oil along the U.S. Gulf Coast have risen in recent weeks, partly due to the decline in Mexican exports.

washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/12/oil-drilling-federal-lands-biden/
Quick Glance: Biden Raises Drilling Costs on Federal Lands, Trump Courts Oil Donors
- The Biden administration has finalized a new rule requiring oil companies to pay at least ten times more for drilling on federal lands to generate more revenue for taxpayers.
- While Trump discusses easing drilling regulations with energy executives, the US is historically pumping a lot of crude oil, complicating regulations for Trump and Biden's climate agenda.
- The rule mandates higher bonds and royalties for fossil fuels on federal lands to better compensate taxpayers and cover the costs of cleaning up abandoned wells.
- In addition to reshaping fossil fuel production on federal lands, the administration has advanced renewable energy development on these tracts and significantly reduced rents and fees for clean energy projects.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel
- Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.
- Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.
- Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.
- Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
