Commercial risk decomposition across five operational axes and five industry verticals — upstream oil, LNG & gas, refining & products, power & utilities, renewables & transition. Brand-safe, clinical, refreshed every three hours from open-source signals.
EXECUTIVE BRIEF
The US-Iran conflict continues to suppress OPEC output to 37-year lows, with Iranian barrels squeezed via OFAC enforcement including sanctioned-tanker interdiction in the Indian Ocean. Hormuz transit risk remains elevated, with Mercuria disclosing government-facilitated routing to maintain crude throughput. Brent and WTI divergence is widening under Middle East supply shock, while US SPR inventories are drawn toward historic lows as export surges drain domestic crude stocks. Non-OPEC supply growth and a prospective Fitch-flagged oversupply trajectory provide a partial structural offset. Alaska ANWR lease auctions, Dorado FID prospects, and Trans-Saharan pipeline construction add medium-term supply optionality.
Each axis is scored 1–10 from open-source energy signals. The composite at the top of the page is a weighted blend (crude oil supply carries the largest weight; transition & policy and gas/LNG follow).
OPEC+ posture, sanctions, choke-point transit, pipeline integrity
Pipeline flows, LNG cargoes, TTF / JKM / Henry Hub price action
Refinery runs, crack spreads, gasoline / diesel / jet arb
Generation mix, grid reliability, capacity-market stress
Renewables, hydrogen, EVs, carbon markets, sanctions regime
