Having scanned 3,456,218 sites overnight and using sophisticated AI tools these are the best of the best:

David Messler: the dangerous rally in natural gas prices. September 20, 2021, 7:00 p.m. CDT.
This is just a very, very small piece, Groningen: 

“The drastic drop in output from Groningen will redefine the European energy landscape. The field, which had a rebound in production at the start of this century, reaching 57 billion m3 in 2013, was for decades the central cog in northwest Europe’s gas system.”

“The phase-out of this giant field will force Europe to expand its gas imports at an even quicker pace. We can already see this drastic shift taking place in the Netherlands, which is in the midst of the transition from being a net gas exporter to a net importer,” says Carlos Torres-Diaz, head of gas markets research at Rystad Energy.”

Charles Kennedy: oil demand set to grown even after 2050. September 20, 2021, 1;00 p.m. CDT.  

 “The impact of climate change policies on oil demand are highly exaggerated – The impact is mostly on demand growth, not on demand itself,” Alhajji said during a keynote speech at the event focused on the impact of the energy transition on oil-dependent economies. 

First geopolitical "region" mentioned: Africa. Oh, give me a break.

“African countries can reduce their carbon footprint by focusing on energy efficiency and the low hanging fruits, save oil & gas for exports or value added industries and place solar and wind projects strategically.”
