In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner break down Chevron CEO Mike Wirth’s confident outlook on oil and gas, even as the industry wrestles with glut fears, AI-driven efficiency shifts, and evolving demand. We explore the UK’s growing tension between AI expansion and net-zero ambitions, Sweden’s painful pension-fund losses from risky green investments, and Enbridge’s major move to expand Canadian oil export capacity. We also recap Ukraine’s latest refinery strike and the escalating 2025 energy-infrastructure hits shaping global markets. Plus, we cover rig-count changes, volatile pricing, and the geopolitical pressure points driving this week’s energy narrative.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-1457551/episodes/e-149569834/edit/%5C) Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
