Prompt WTI timespreads, as in every corner of the market, took a pummelling late last week amid the huge sell-off in crude brought on by the emergence of the new coronavirus variant. While the plummet in flat price and structure was triggered by fears that the Omicron variant would drag on global oil demand, the move was exacerbated by low liquidity on the long weekend, selling pressures from hedging activity and the triggering of sell signals, and initially high speculative net length.
In the aftermath of COP26, global leaders and their nations set to work to meet historic pledges to significantly reduce emissions and reduce fossil fuel reliance. The UK has previously committed to reducing emissions by at least 78% by 2035 and be net-zero by 2050 – so how can we ensure these targets are achieved?
Prompt WTI timespreads went on another rollercoaster ride in the run up to the latest weekly EIA release, with initial bullish input coming from API data that showed another draw on total US crude inventories. Dec/Jan ultimately pulled back from price levels approaching an exceptionally high $1.70/bbl as the market closed on Tuesday 9th, after the API release.
There was something of a hiatus in the relentless run-up in crude futures on both sides of the Atlantic in early trading ahead of November contract expiry on Wednesday 20th, but prompt WTI timespreads (Dec/Jan) remain well-supported. With speculation high regarding energy shortages going into winter, the market has been trying to reconcile the likely path for crude balances in the weeks ahead with the current state of the physical market and its relevant indicators.
The satellite Earth Observation (EO) industry is evolving incredibly quickly, as new satellites are being planned and launched, and leading-edge ML-based analytics developed and applied to open up new capabilities and markets.

WTI timespreads were propelled higher in the last few hours of trading on Friday amid speculation of tightening crude availability both in the US and globally in the coming weeks. US refiners are now contemplating a bullish oil demand forecast this winter which could add impetus to runs in the face of already low road fuel stocks and strong margins. That could contribute to a few more weeks of draws in crude inventory at Cushing and nationwide, albeit not at the pace that prevailed over the summer.
After the collapse of Brumadinho Dam, the mining industry has been under intense scrutiny. Although the safety and infrastructure stability of tailings dams has always been extremely important, now, with the world watching, it is more crucial than ever that dam monitoring programmes are put in place.
MotionMonitor, our latest service specifically designed to monitor ground movements in and around mine tailing dams, enables Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) managers and ESG compliance officers to monitor key TSF locations and provides an early warning of potential failure, therefore minimising financial and environmental impact as a direct consequence.
