Saturday, June 15, 9:05 AM This week, Exxon Mobil (XOM) CEO Rex Tillerson made a public plea, arguing that government delays of natural gas export permits is hurting the U.S.: "It’s a competitive marketplace. It’s not like people are just going to stand at our door like panting dogs just waiting for us to give [LNG] to them." He says he left a meeting with the new energy secretary with no idea when XOM’s $10B Golden Pass LNG project might be approved. 9 Comments [Energy]

The deal highlights the growing interest in U.K. shale gas reserves even though it's not known if gas can be commercially produced from the license area. 3 Comments [Energy]

Thursday, June 13, 3:56 PM Imperial Oil (IMO +2.5%) says output from its recently opened Kearl oil sands project is set to grow to its full 110K bbl/day capacity over the summer as it completes work on the project.

Wednesday, June 12, 4:46 PM Exxon Mobil (XOM) is given time by regulators to run a second round of tests on the ruptured Pegasus oil pipeline in Arkansas after an initial investigation was considered inconclusive.

Wednesday, June 12, 9:48 AM Myanmar’s success - or not - in becoming Asia's new economic miracle nation will be largely decided by natural gas, with Exxon (XOM), Total (TOT) and other energy majors lining up for a share of its "frozen in time" oilfields.

Myanmar sits between China and India, both of which would be ready, easy markets. 3 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]

Tuesday, June 11, 11:20 AM Exxon Mobil (XOM -0.4%) is in talks with TPAO to buy a stake in a block in the Black Sea, the acting head of the Turkish state-owned energy company tells Reuters, as the country looks for ways to reduce its import dependence. XOM's reported interest in the block comes as no surprise, given its partnerships in the region with Russia’s Rosneft and also in Iraq and Kurdistan. Comment! [Energy]

Wednesday, June 5, 4:54 PM Exxon's (XOM) move to invest in InterOil's (IOC) natural gas assets in Papua New Guinea has sparked concerns Oil Search (OISHF.PK) and Santos (STOSF.PK) will be left behind, but Macquarie’s Adrian Wood says the Australian partners shouldn't worry. He thinks they'll benefit from XOM’s PNG LNG gas export project regardless of whose gas is fed through it. 2 Comments [Energy]

Tuesday, June 4, 7:47 AM Statoil (STO) says new drilling reveals the North Sea Volve field to hold additional oil reserves of 8.8M-9.4M barrels, nearly doubling estimates of remaining reserves and meaning that production there could be prolonged at least until the end of 2016. STO owns ~60% of the license; Exxon Mobil (XOM) holds ~30%. 2 Comments [Energy]
Monday, June 3, 8:43 AM Total (TOT) reportedly is set to team up with Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Kuwait's state-owned oil exploration company Kufpec to explore part of its concession in South Sudan after lying dormant since 1985 due to Sudan's civil war. Enduring mistrust between the two Sudans means the South seeks to build alternative pipelines, but this would not be viable without new commercial oil discoveries. 2 Comments [Energy]
