Venezuela is pumping more crude than it has in years — but its refineries are rusting from the inside out. 🛢️ Rebuilding could cost $20B+, and it's not even the government's top priority right now. A stark reminder: reserves don't equal capacity. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS4QQwuwd #blackgoldbulletin #oilandgas #venezuela 🇻🇪

Did you know? Block licensing isn't just theory — it's playing out across the globe right now. Nigeria pressed on with its 2026 licensing round after awarding 37 blocks to 31 companies in 2025, though 13 blocks from that round are returning to the bidding basket after failing to attract offers [CNBC Africa](https://www.cnbcafrica.com/media/7784735170646/will-nigeria-sustain-momentum-of-consecutive-oil-block-auctions) — a reminder that frontier acreage doesn't always find takers. Meanwhile, Libya returned to international petroleum licensing in February 2026 after nearly two decades away, with blocks going to Chevron, Eni-QatarEnergy, and Repsol [Discovery Alert](https://discoveryalert.com.au/libya-strategic-position-mediterranean-energy-markets-2026/) . Algeria launched its own "Bid Round 2026" offering seven exploration blocks across Ouargla, Illizi, Touggourt, and El Bayadh [Middle East Online](https://middle-east-online.com/en/hoping-boost-oil-gas-output-algeria-launches-new-licensing-round) , while Norway went big with 70 new blocks added to its APA 2026 round across the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Barents Sea [Inspenet](https://inspenet.com/en/news/norway-expands-apa-2026-with-70-new-oil-blocks/) . Equatorial Guinea also joined in, launching EGRonda 2026 with 24 blocks on offer and enhanced fiscal terms to reverse its declining output [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/equatorial-guinea-announces-2026-oil-143243642.html) . From Lagos to Oslo, the auction floor for oil and gas acreage is busy in 2026. 🛢️ #factmonday #blocklicensing #oilandgas #blackgoldbulletin

OIL RUNS ON SAND: THE GLOBAL RESOURCE CRISIS NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT Most people think oil is the world's most important extracted resource. They're wrong. The world extracts nearly 50 billion tonnes of sand every year—five times more than in 1970—and the oil and gas industry depends heavily on it. From hydraulic fracturing to well completions, modern energy production runs on a resource few people ever think about. But what happens when that resource begins to run out? My latest article explores the growing global sand crisis, the rise of illegal sand mining, and why the next major disruption to oil production may not come from geopolitics, but from our rivers. https://blackgoldbulletin.blogspot.com/2026/07/oil-runs-on-sand-global-resource-crisis.html #OilAndGas #Energy #Sustainability #FracSand #HydraulicFracturing #EnergySecurity #NaturalResources #Climate #SupplyChain #BlackGoldBulletin

The North Sea is at the center of a global energy debate. As Britain navigates the tension between energy security, economic growth, and net-zgero ambitions, the decisions made today will shape the future of oil and gas for decades. From Trump’s push for expanded production to Starmer’s climate-focused approach and Burnham’s balancing act, the North Sea story reflects a much bigger question facing energy-producing nations worldwide: Can we transition without compromising energy security?
