Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced that the country had found significant natural gas resources in the Black Sea.
The discovery of 320 billion cubic metres (11.3 trillion cubic feet) reserve, will help Turkey cut its dependence on energy imports if the gas can be commercially extracted.
Turkey’s drilling ship Faith, which has been operating in and exploration zone known as Tuna-1 since late July, made the find about 100 nautical miles north off the Turkish coast.
Although, Erdogan didn’t reveal whether the 320 billion cubic metres referred to total gas estimates or the amounts that could be extracted, he did say it could come onstream as soon as 2023.
Erdogan said: “This reserve is actually part of a much bigger source. God willing, much more will come,” adding that there would be no stopping until Turkey “becomes a net exporter in energy.”
The country almost completely relies on imports from Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran to meet its energy demands, which stood at $41bn (£32bn) last year.
With any reduction in the energy import bill not only boosting government finances but also help ease chronic current account deficit, which puts pressure on the Lira.
Speaking from the deck of the Faith drill ship, Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said: “We will remove the current account deficit from the agenda of our country.”
The gas find is located in waters 2,100 metres deep, Energy minister Fatih Donmez said, with Erdogan announcing operations in the Mediterranean would accelerate.
Turkey has been exploring hydrocarbons in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean — where its survey operation has drawn protests from Greece and Cyprus — with Greek and Turkish warships shadowing a Turkish survey vessel colliding there last week.

Saudi Arabia’s state oil behemoth Saudi Aramco has suspended a deal to build a $10 billion refining and petrochemicals complex in China’s northeastern province of Liaoning, reports Economic Times.
The refinery was supposed to be built by Aramco in partnership with China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco) and Panjin Sincen.
However, the fate of the refinery now hangs in the balance as Aramco is planning to cut down spending in a bid to cope with losses being incurred due to the low prices of oil.
The joint venture was signed last year in February when Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was on a visit to Beijing.
As per the deal, once the project would come up, Saudi Arabia was going to supply as much as 70% of the crude for the 300,000-barrel-a-day refinery.
Aramco is said to be planning to cut its capital spending in a bid to maintain a $75 billion dividend amid the low crude oil prices and rising debt.

U.S. oil exports to China are set to reach a record next month in a sign that Beijing is stepping up purchases to meet its commitments under a landmark trade deal reached earlier this year.
Chinese crude buyers have chartered about 19 tankers for September to send roughly 37 million barrels of oil to China, according to provisional tanker fixtures. If these proceed as planned, the exports would surpass a record set in May at 35.2 million barrels, according to U.S. Census data compiled by Bloomberg.
The May volume was also the most by any U.S. oil buyer for a given month, data show.
Under phase one of the deal, the world’s largest oil importer promised to buy an additional $200 billion of U.S. goods and services in 2020 and 2021, including $52 billion in energy products, in an agreement signed in January. Purchases so far have lagged that target. A review of the deal that was set for for August 15 was canceled, and has yet to be rescheduled.
All but one of the tankers, which can carry about 2 million barrels each, will originate on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Unipec, the trading arm of Chinese’s largest refiners Sinopec, has booked some of those tankers, while a few others were chartered by PetroChina Co Ltd, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corp.
Still, fixtures can get canceled or rerouted if market fundamentals change.
Electricity supply in Nigeria is fast improving as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announces all time national peak of 5,420.30MW transmitted through the national grid on August 18, 2020.
A statement posted on TCN’s Twitter said, “This is the highest ever recorded in the nation’s power sector to date, surpassing the previous peak of 5,377.80 recorded on the 1st of August 2020 by 42.50MW.”
According to the company, the Buhari-administration has taken keen interest in developing the West African nation’s power sector by piloting programmes and projects geared at improving the power sector, hence the latest development.
“The gradual but steady improvement in the electricity delivery in the nation’s power sector is attributable to keen interest of the current administration of President Mahammadu Buhari in piloting programmes and projects geared towards growing the power sector, as well as the collective effort of all power sector players in the value chain,” the company said.
“TCN is committed to working assiduously to further stabilise, rehabilitate and expand the grid and urge Nigerians to lend their support by safeguarding electricity installations nationwide,” the company appealed.

South Africa’s power utility company, Eskom, has assured that there will be no loadshedding due to return of three generation units last night.
“Eskom is pleased to announce that the supply constraints has eased sufficiently to allow for the suspension of loadshedding,” the utility company said.
“This also means no loadshedding is anticipated for the rest of the weekend,” the company added.
Eskom explained that three generators were returned to service at the Lethabo, Medupi and Kusile power stations while another unit at Kusile was taken offline for repairs.
Unplanned breakdowns stand at 8,750MW of capacity, adding to the 4,500MW currently out on planned maintenance.
“While the supply constraints has eased for the rest of the weekend, Eskom would like to remind the public to continue using electricity sparingly as the aged generation infrastructure is unpredictable, unreliable and volatile.”
It, however, cautioned that any significant deterioration in the generation performance may necessitate the implementation of load shedding at short notice.
“Eskom would like to thank the people of South Africa for their assistance and patience during the difficulties of load shedding,” the company said.

Ghana’s President H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has cut the sod for construction of the operational headquarters of the country’s national oil company, GNPC, in Takoradi in the Western Region
The seven-storey complex which will cost US$ 25 million upon completion will provide office space for 400 staff.
Speaking at the sod cutting ceremony, President Akufo-Addo said the project signifies the fulfillment of the NPP’s manifesto pledge to make the Western Region the hub of Ghana’s petroleum sector.
“If it was not for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this project would have been at an advanced stage,” the President said.
Once completed, the building will have a 300-seater auditorium, gymnasium, cafeteria and a business centre on the ground floor.
The upper floors will accommodate private office spaces for GNPC and other potential tenants, especially in the oil and gas value chain.
It will be constructed over a period of two years.
The President urged the contractor to ensure the timely delivery of this project within budget and with the use of local labour.
“It is good that the Western Region is benefiting from many of the initiative undertaken by the GNPC Foundation as the oil and gas resources that generate the revenues of the Corporation are currently located on the shores of the Western Region,” he said.
The contractor, Boaz Levi, said the office complex is being built with smart technology and will create 300 employments along the 24 month period it hopes to complete construction.
“In compliance with the government’s policy of ensuring smart energy efficiency, the office complex is designed with solar ingress and wind direction. Upon completion, the building is expected to attain LEED certification, which measures building standards to assess their compliance with ‘all-in-one’ address of energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, daylighting and waste reduction.“
The NPP Chairman and Board Chairman of GNPC, Freddie Blay, said Corporation’s objective is to ensure all benefit through GNPC Foundation.
“We are happy to say that, since the establishment of the Foundation and through GNPC’s Corporate Social Investment initiatives, the Western Region has received its fair share of infrastructure in the provision of classroom blocks, science laboratories, Astro turfs, sanitation blocks, tertiary scholarships and provision of potable water and these are also seen across the country to bridge the development gap.”
The President also commissioned an ultra-modern office complex and hostel facility for the Western Regional House of Chiefs, constructed and furnished by the GNPC Foundation in Sekondi.

Importation of charcoal into the Ghanaian market is said to be on the rise, an official of Ghana’s Energy Commission has revealed.
This, according to Prosper Ahmed Amuquandoh, Inspector in-charge of Renewable Energy at the Energy Commission, is due to low quality of charcoal being produced locally.
“Some of the charcoal that is produced locally produces ash; it burns faster; it is not efficient and some of them, depending on the kind of tree that was used to produce the charcoal, produce sparks. For instance, if you use a shea nut tree to produce charcoal, you are most likely to have sparks.
“But the imported ones have been processed, are efficient and clean, do not produce ash or sparks and are packaged. These and other factors why people purchase the imported ones,” Mr. Amuquandoh told Business & Financial Times (B&F) in an interview.
According to him, even though the market for the imported product is not huge, it is rising; and its existence is not because locals are not able to meet demand, but because some locals are not assuring the market of the quality needed.
He was, however, quick to add that some local producers have started producing quality charcoal, not only to satisfy local demand but also for export.
These locals are being policed by the Energy Commission to ensure that they follow the laid-down regulations for production and export of the commodity.
Meanwhile, the B&FT has gathered that the Energy Commission is working to develop regulations for the local market to ensure their activities are not only sustainable but also environmentally friendly.
The regulation will also deal with transportation, packaging and marketing of charcoal for local use.
One of the key points in the regulations is to curtail the indiscriminate felling of trees for production of charcoal, which already exists in the regulations for export.
From available data via the Energy Commission, the majority of imported charcoal is consumed by households, especially middle to upper-class income earners.
Also, charcoal constitutes the largest portion of energy usage in Ghana.
One of the reasons for this development has been ascribed to cultural beliefs; that some delicacies taste better and are healthier if cooked with charcoal.
According to IndexBox, a leading market research publisher in the world, the global wood charcoal market revenue amounted to US$24.2 billion in 2018, remaining relatively unchanged against the previous year. This figure reflects the total revenues of producers and importers (excluding logistics costs, retail marketing costs, and retailers’ margins, which will be included in the final consumer price).
The market value increased at an average annual rate of +2.6 percent from 2007 to 2018; the trend pattern indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded throughout the analysed period. Global wood charcoal consumption peaked in 2018, and is likely to continue its growth in the immediate term.
The countries with highest volumes of wood charcoal consumption in 2018 were Brazil (5.5m tonnes), Ethiopia (4.4m tonnes) and Nigeria (4.2m tonnes). They together accounted for 28 percent of global consumption. These countries are followed by India, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Tanzania, China, Thailand, Madagascar, Egypt and Zambia, which together accounted for a further 33 percent.

The Trump administration is considering additional sanctions on Venezuela aimed at halting the remaining fuel transactions permitted with the South American nation, according to people familiar with the matter.
The measures could target crude swaps with companies in Asia and Europe, said the people, who requested anonymity because the talks are private.
U.S. officials have debated the move for months, yet they initially prioritized actions against Iran, which began exporting gasoline to fuel-starved Venezuela. The sanctions haven’t been decided and talks are ongoing, the people said.
Last week, the U.S. seized the contents of four Iranian tankers carrying more than 1.1 million barrels of gasoline to the country.
Venezuela is unable to produce its own gasoline and other products refined from crude because of widespread mechanical failures at refineries.
While the imported fuel is critical for farmers and truckers that move food across the country, opposition lawmakers have argued the deals prop up the regime led by Nicolas Maduro.
Shunned by U.S. refiners, Venezuela’s oil exports have fallen to about 535,000 barrels a day this year, the lowest since 1950, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In August, diesel swaps accounted for almost 80% of the crude scheduled to be shipped overseas, the data show. Firms including India’s Reliance Industries, Repsol SA of Spain and Italy’s Eni SpA have loaded oil in exchange for supplying diesel to Caracas.
The Treasury Department has so far apparently exempted oil swaps when they’re in exchange for fuel or food, granting flexibility to some larger companies that have kept the administration abreast of their Venezuelan business activities.
The transactions have come into focus again as President Donald Trump makes a final push against Maduro ahead of the U.S. election.
During his State of the Union speech in February, the president promised to break the socialist’s “grip of tyranny” as opposition leader Juan Guaido watched in the gallery.

Surrounded by major African oil & gas producers Republic of Congo and Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has so far remained relatively absent of Africa’s league of hydrocarbons producers. In 2019, only French independent Perenco produced from the DRC, at an average rate of 25,000 boepd from 11 onshore fields.
In this context, the administration of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi has made energy security and investment its top priority, seeking to get massive hydropower projects off the ground but also to diversify the country’s energy basket and create jobs in the process.
In yet another decision supporting the development of the DRC’s hydrocarbons industry, President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi requested its Minister of Hydrocarbons, Hydraulic Resources and Power and its Minister of Finance to fast-track legal processes and permits pertaining to the valorization of the natural gas produced onshore by Perenco. The decision was taken at the latest Council of Ministers last week in Kinshasa.
The move is expected to result in the monetization of natural gas through power generation, especially to address the DRC’s energy deficit and provide stable supply of power to its booming mining industry.
“We are extremely optimistic about the future of oil & gas in the DRC given current political support for the industry. While market-driven policies are needed to ensure investments in gas monetization, an enabling environment is key to unleashing the massive potential of the DRC and the energy industry is open to supporting the DRC,” NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman at the African Energy Chamber stated.
“The DRC also offers 100GW of hydropower potential, and its upcoming hydroelectric stations are expected to require billions of dollars. It is a chance for investor and local players to participate and support the ambitious growth plans of President Felix Tshisekedi fighting energy poverty and boosting energy for industrial development that will create jobs and transform the economy with a post covid-19 recovery strategy,” concluded Ayuk.
The African Energy Chamber is encouraged by the government’s decision as we believe locally available natural gas offers the perfect opportunity to build power capacity in the short-term and ensure a stable and cheaper power to DRC’s industries and mining companies.

The scale and enormous economic potential of Mozambique’s LNG projects constitutes a seminal effort with national, regional and global implications and visibility. In fact, Total’s Mozambique LNG project alone costs about $20bn and represents Africa’s single largest foreign direct investment to date. Led by French major Total, it gathers a wide range of private and state-owned entities including Mitsui, Oil India, ONGC Videsh, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, PTT Exploration and Mozambique’s ENH.
Given the stakes associated with this vital project, investors, government officials and all other stakeholders must be assured it will not suffer operationally due to security issues. An essential element of that assurance requires project stakeholder leadership to actively demonstrate its value to Mozambique’s citizens and simultaneously appreciate there is a regional and global audience to be addressed. In turn, those associated messages must be carefully crafted, and their content reflects cultural accuracy.
This engagement of Mozambique LNG’s stakeholders must also be active and well-constructed. While providing relevant information is critical, it must also be timely, and its substance reflect institutional credibility. Further, project leadership must be prepared to counter misinformation at all levels – ideally, this is accomplished by active assessment of information atmospherics and by staying ahead of any negative messages.
The current threat to the LNG project has elevated the need to institute measures that account for all domains of security operations. This increasing sense of urgency is demonstrated by the deadly 27 June 2020 ambush of a construction contractor’s vehicle near the Tanzanian border. The attack itself was meant to send a definitive message and the LNG project’s stakeholder leadership must understand how information-related activities could have provided indications and warnings that may have prevented/mitigated this attack. Simultaneously, the LNG project will realize improved protection of vital operational information.
It can realize those results by consciously establishing and resourcing a dedicated information entity within the Security directorate. Their key functions will include the ability to synchronize actions with the project’s senior leadership and they must be empowered to coordinate with the media, local populations, and law enforcement agencies at all levels. Additionally, due to the varied nature of Mozambique LNG’s infrastructure (offshore, coastal and interior facilities), security officials must account operational and administrative activities in and around facilities that potentially affect contested or culturally sensitive territory. Therefore, it is essential to define the most effective manner to present security-related messages to respective audiences in those affected areas.
For obvious reasons, the security of Mozambique’s LNG is an absolute. The development and implementation of capabilities that actively account for information’s impact on all related goals and activities, to include the local community, is critical to the development and deployment of modern security operations in Mozambique.

India is expected to commission only about 2.2 gigawatt (GW) to 2.5 GW of new solar projects and 800 MW of wind projects in the second half of 2020 (H2 2020) due to the COVID-19 crisis, according to a latest report.
It added that the split of the newly added total capacity in calendar year 2020 would be about 3.5 GW of utility-scale solar capacity and 1.2 GW of wind.
“Rooftop solar industry is worst-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we estimate that about 1 GW to 1.2 GW of total rooftop solar is likely to be added,” according to the report by JMK Research.
It said that 2021 would bounce back with expected commissioned capacity of 7.7 GW of new solar installations and 2.2 GW of new wind installations with the industry picking up the lost pace.
According to the report, India added about 1 GW of new utility-scale solar capacity in the first six months of this year, a 70 per cent drop compared to the same period last year. And about 325 MW of new wind capacity was added in H1 2020, which was 80 per cent less than the H1 installations of the previous year.
The report added that in the second quarter of 2020, Adani shipped the maximum quantity of modules with about 160 MW, while Jinko Solar was the leading player amongst Chinese suppliers.
Regarding tender activity, the report added that in Q2 2020 about 5.2 GW of new renewable energy tenders were issued, and auctions were completed for 4.5 GW of tenders. Amongst the auctions completed, ReNew, Eden, and SB Energy had won with 800 MW, 600 MW, and 600 MW capacity, respectively.
The report further added that the landed price for Chinese module suppliers, excluding GST and safeguard duty, was about 18-18.5 US cents per Watt in Q2 2020, which was a 21 per cent y-o-y decline from Q2 2019 prices.
