We’ve signed an agreement to land the Medusa cable in Tartous, positioning Syria as a direct Mediterranean node. This steps advances SilkLink’s vision to establish Tartous as a neutral, open cable landing station providing the shortest, fastest, and most secure Europe-Asia route.

The pursuit of vertical integration is an underlying year end review theme in #LNG. JERA goes upstream to protect against Henry Hub price risk & EQT goes downstream to protect against access to demand risk. Each fear their weakest link in #LNG value chain. @ColumbiaUEnergy #ONGT

Ce soir, sur la frontière entre la Syrie et la Turquie, la tension n'a jamais été aussi élevée entre des combattants étrangers et le pouvoir central à Damas. Au premier lieu desquels, le groupe français d'Omar (Diaby) Omsen qui est menacé d'une offensive contre leur campement.

Where’s the oil glut showing up? 1. At sea: tankers now hold 1 billion barrels — the most since 2020 2. In forecasts: analysts expect at least 2 million barrels a day of surplus in 2026 3. In prices: Brent is sliding toward $60 https://t.co/8GYb9MM4dI

Pakistan walks away from 3.8 MT at current #LNG prices of $6-$8/MMBtu. If these prices don’t work, what will? Impact of renewables shift has been lightening fast. Conversely, Egypt is one of the biggest growth markets in 2025 although is pumping the breaks in Q4. @ColumbiaUEnergy

If this keeps up, look for #LNG buyers in Asia to nominate closer to oil-indexed contract levels, which are sub JKM at this point. We're about to find out if $7 gas in Asia will raise the demand tide in China & elsewhere. If it doesn't, it's even more significant.@ColumbiaUEnergy

En Syrie, la voie d'un compromis tel que je vous le présentais depuis des mois est en train de se dessiner. Pour faire simple : intégration... régionale. C'est ce que j'évoquais en permanence depuis le début : les FDS seront les forces armées locales dans le nord-est, avec une

As this # surges to 33% by 2027, everything from the HH vs. TTF/JKM price relationship to US energy policy & the economy comes into question. US upstream has a major task ahead; US midstream even more so. Let's see if data center use caps or reverses this trend. @ColumbiaUEnergy
