India: fuel demand hits 24-year high. All those mo-peds! LOL. Does one really think we're going to see all those batteries in India in 2060? I doubt there's enough lithium in the universe for all the batteries India would need.
Derivatives: a lot of oil companies are going to report worse earnings, getting crushed by derivatives; no one saw the OPEC cut coming. Companies were betting on much lower prices due to "coming" recession.

RBN Energy: US crude oil helps replace Russian barrels in Europe.
Russia supplied significant volumes of crude oil and refined products to Europe for many years. Its primary crude oil export grade, medium-sour Urals (approximately 30 API and 1.7% sulfur), was a benchmark, both in quality and price, that European refiners long relied on to plan refinery processing configurations and that served as a signal for crude oil pricing dynamics in Northwest Europe and the Mediterranean.
In addition to crude oil, Russia was a large supplier of gasoil (diesel) as well as a more limited supplier of other refined products such as fuel oil (including intermediate feedstocks) and naphtha.
In today’s RBN blog, we review the abrupt reduction in Russian crude oil movements to Europe following Putin’s invasion of Ukraine 13 months ago with an eye on the specific grades that have filled the gap.
