Перевалка через Актау выросла
Транзит грузов через порт Актау в первом полугодии вырос относительно января — июня 2023 г. Основной рост пришелся на поставки нефти и контейнерных грузов, тогда как транзит металлов и зерна сократился, по данным администрации порта.
Основное увеличение пришлось на поставки Тенгизской нефти. Из Актау партии сырья доставляются на терминал в Сангачалы для последующей отгрузки по трубопровод Баку — Тбилиси — Джейхан (БТД).
Кроме того, выросла перевалка контейнеров на фоне возобновления поставок из Китая. Основная доля пришлась на транзит контейнерных грузов через Транскаспийский международный транспортный маршрут (ТМТМ), в том числе благодаря запуску казахстанско-китайского терминала в городе Сиань (центральная часть Китая), сообщили в порту.
Помимо этого, в январе — июне увеличилась перевалка нефтяного кокса через Актау.
Перевалка зерна через порт в январе — июне сократилась относительного первого полугодия 2023 г. Поставки снижались из-за сокращения закупок иранскими компаниями и растущей конкуренции с недорогими объемами зерна из России.

Forties crude output seen at 10-month high in November
Forties crude output seen at 10-month high in November
London, 31 July (Argus) — Production of North Sea crude grade Forties is forecast to reach a 10-month high of almost 224,000 b/d in November, up from 216,000 b/d in October, 186,000 b/d in September and 161,000 b/d in August, according to latest figures from Forties Pipeline System (FPS) operator Ineos. This is Ineos' first forecast for November. The firm has revised down its estimates for August-October by 2-5pc compared with its previous forecast. November's increase will be driven by a rise in output from the grade's smaller contributing fields, which is forecast to hit a one-year high of 181,000 b/d. Buzzard — the largest field on the FPS — will account for around 19pc of Forties output in November, compared with 20-25pc in August-October. Buzzard is scheduled to start a two-week maintenance shutdown in August. Buzzard accounted for 25pc of Forties output in the week to 28 July, up from 22pc the previous week. Buzzard's contribution affects Forties quality because the field's crude is heavier and sourer than the other component fields. A 25pc Buzzard contribution results in a Forties blend with a gravity of 40.3°API and a sulphur content of 0.62pc.

Israeli forces carry out attack in Beirut
Israeli forces carry out attack in Beirut
Washington, 30 July (Argus) — Israel claimed responsibility for a "targeted strike" in Beirut today, in retribution for a 27 July rocket attack that killed 12 people in the Golan Heights. Today's strike targeted the Lebanon-based Hezbollah's commander who allegedly was responsible for the Golan Heights attack, Israel's Defense Forces said. Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire almost daily since 8 October last year, a day after Hamas first attacked Israel. Those skirmishes have mostly targeted military sites, but the weekend strike was by far the deadliest attack on civilians inside Israeli territory in those cross-border exchanges. Israeli leaders vowed to retaliate for the 27 July attack, while the US and European powers urged Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from taking a step that would lead to greater confrontation. Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian, who took office today, said on Monday that there would be "serious consequences" if Israel carries out a retaliatory strike in Lebanon. The prospect of violence spreading in the Middle East has been a concern for the international community, not least in Washington, since the war began between Hamas and Israel. Iran and Israel exchanged direct military strikes at each other's territory in April. The Yemen-based Houthi militant group launched a campaign of targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea in what it said was a direct response to Israel's actions in Gaza, and recently hit central Tel Aviv using a drone.

BP CEO sees Tiber FID following Kaskida within a year
BP CEO sees Tiber FID following Kaskida within a year
London, 30 July (Argus) — BP will take a final investment decision to develop the 4bn-6bn bl Tiber oil field in the US Gulf of Mexico within 12 months, its chief executive Murray Auchincloss said today. This will follow today's go-ahead for BP's 80,000 b/d Kaskida project. Both fields are in the Gulf of Mexico's Paleogene play. "Mid-next year we think we'll be sanctioning Tiber. It'll pretty much be a photocopy of Kaskida as well for capital productivity," Auchincloss said on BP's second-quarter earnings call , referring to a strategy of utilising existing platform and subsea equipment designs that can be replicated at low cost for successive projects. "10bn bl of discovered resource in the basin has now been highly developed by other companies," Auchincloss said. "It's time for us to catch up with that. We've used an industry standard solution for Kaskida. It'll produce at 80,000 b/d. It'll be less than $5 billion." A first phase of development will begin producing in 2029, according to BP. Kaskida will deliver "at least" 275mn bl, said Auchincloss, but he said BP's upstream team thinks it might do much better than that. "We have 1,000ft of pay, and the average across the rest of the Paleogene is 500ft of pay. So, it's an enormous column of oil," he said. The first phase of Kaskida will focus on the east of the field, and BP plans to appraise the western side next year. The company has further exploration wells around Kaskida and Tiber that it is planning. After appraisal and exploration drilling is completed in 12-18 months' time, Auchincloss said the company would consider whether to bring in a partner. "Kaskida alone will be a 5pc increase in [BP's] operating cash flow when it comes in, at group level," he said. "5pc alone. And Tiber will follow that as well." Earlier today, BP said it would raise its dividend by 10pc after reporting a 29pc jump in its second-quarter cash flow for the second quarter.

Protests build in Venezuela on Maduro's claim: Update3
Protests build in Venezuela on Maduro's claim: Update3
Adds details from protests. Caracas, 29 July (Argus) — Protests have grown steadily today after Venezuela's election authority declared that President Nicolas Maduro won a third six-year term in a vote questioned by allied countries as well as the opposition. Protestors blocked traffic through the capital of Caracas late on Monday, with many approaching the presidential palace in Miraflores. Fiery barricades, groups of protestors on motorcycles seeking out Maduro supporters and the banging of pots in cacerolazo protests continued all day. Venezuela broke diplomatic ties with seven Latin American countries who had called for the government to respect the vote. Maduro won with 51.2pc of the vote on Sunday which was tallied "after resolving an attack against the results transmission system," said CNE president Elvis Amoroso, president of Venezuela's administration-aligned national electoral council (CNE). CNE data indicated 44.2pc of the vote for his main rival Edmundo Gonzalez, who ran in the place of main opposition coalition leader Maria Corina Machado after Maduro's government blocked her from running. The council said 80pc of the votes were counted, indicating an "irreversible" trend that would allow another six years in office for the party that has ruled the country since 1999. The first data shown by CNE on live television late Sunday indicated voting shares that totaled 132pc, with eight opposition candidates other than Gonzalez each getting an identical 4.6pc of the vote. CNE's final results contrasts with independent opinion polls and data from opposition observers that forecast a victory for Gonzalez. Machado said her team's review of voting data indicated a win for Gonzalez with 70pc of the vote compared with 30pc for Maduro, in line with results from independent opinion polls. The US, which already has an extensive set of sanctions against oil and mining industries in Venezuela, questioned the election result but indicated that no specific action by Washington was imminent. The US is asking Caracas to make public the detailed, precinct-level election data to prove the Maduro victory claim, a senior US official said, who added that the US was working with regional allies and the EU to coordinate a response. "We're going to reserve any judgment until we have a better sense of what happened on the ground," the White House said. About the only remaining effective lever of US sanctions left to apply would involve taking away authorization to Chevron, granted in 2022, to import into the US oil produced in a joint venture with state-owned PdV. But another US official said today that option is not under consideration. Machado's team denounced that it was denied access to the council's center to scrutinise data. Opposition leader Delsa Solorzano also said that witnesses had been kicked out of polling stations and denied required copies of vote tallies . Violence hit polling stations and at least two people were killed overnight after a relatively calm election day. "All the international community, all, even those who once were [government] allies, they know what happened in Venezuela and how the people voted for a change," Machado said. Breaking ties Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said his government would not recognise the outcome until the government investigates opposition claims. Leftist Chilean president Gabriel Boric said the CNE's results were "difficult to believe." In a joint statement , the governments of Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay also called on Venezuela to respect its citizens' decision. Venezuela's government accused these and other Latin American governments of "interfering" in the electoral process under direction from the US, and said it is withdrawing Venezuelan missions from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay. It is also expelling these countries' diplomatic missions from Venezuela. Ties had already been severed during previous disputes with Ecuador and Guatemala and ties were only being recently reestablished with Paraguay. Maduro would continue the legacy of late former president Hugo Chavez, who died in office in 2013 after ushering in massive changes that have contributed to reducing the country's oil output to about 900,000 b/d to more than 3mn b/d at its peak.
