A U.S. bid to have the U.N. Security Council call for “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Gaza Strip failed on Friday, after Russia and China vetoed the American resolution that included some of Washington’s strongest language since the start of the war. The resolution reflected the Biden administration’s growing frustration both with the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel’s conduct in a war that has killed about 30,000 people and reduced much of the enclave to ruins. But international frictions, including over Washington’s previous use of its veto power in the Security Council and its refusal to call for a permanent cease-fire, doomed the resolution. Eleven members voted in favor of the resolution, but Russia and China — permanent members — voted against it, as did Algeria. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, who was traveling in Israel on Friday, expressed disappointment that the resolution failed.

When asked directly, Woods told the CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference that acquiring Hess is not one of Exxon's objectives in the dispute with Chevron. HOUSTON — Exxon is not trying to acquire Hess as the oil major battles with Chevron over lucrative oil assets in Guyana, CEO Darren Woods said Monday. Exxon is claiming a right of first refusal over Hess' Guyana assets under a joint operating agreement that governs the Stabroek oil block, which is estimated to have 11 billion barrels of oil and gas. Woods said Exxon is also trying to find out how much value Chevron's deal is placing on Hess' Guyana assets. Exxon wrote the joint operating agreement that governs the Stabroek block, Woods said.

☆ U.S. Approves $500 Million for Bahrain Oil Project, Despite Opposition

The Bahrain deal comes just months after the United States joined nearly 200 other nations in a promise to transition away from fossil fuels, the burning of which is dangerously overheating the planet. It also comes as Mr. Biden is working to shore up support from climate-minded voters as he runs for re-election. In February, plans to finance the Bahrain projects prompted two of the bank’s climate advisers to resign. The Bahrain project is one of several controversial overseas fossil fuel ventures that ExIm Bank is currently considering. Also being considered are a natural gas export project in Papua New Guinea and an offshore pipeline in Guyana, alongside some projects related to renewable energy like a zinc-lead mine in Greenland.

Haiti’s future is being planned on two tracks — one involving traditional political power, the other focused on the power of gangs. Photos You Should See View All 60 ImagesPrime Minister Ariel Henry announced Tuesday that he would resign once the transitional presidential council was created. Guyana President Irfaan Ali said the transitional council would have seven voting members and two nonvoting ones. The transitional council includes a role for civil society alongside the Montana one, but some observers say that is far from enough. Specifically, outside actors have undermined civil society and failed to punish bad elements, he said, making the work of constructing a functional society infinitely more difficult.

☆ Haiti’s Leader, Under Growing Pressure, Says He Will Resign

Haiti’s prime minister, who has come under growing pressure to resign as gangs have overrun the country, said late Monday that he would step down once a transitional council had been established, to pave the way for the election of a new president and help restore stability. “The government that I lead will withdraw immediately after the installation of this council,” Prime Minister Ariel Henry said in a speech posted on social media. The government that I lead cannot remain insensitive to this situation.”But it was far from clear when Mr. Henry, who had been under growing pressure to step down both in Haiti and abroad, would actually do so. Leaders from Caribbean nations, who have led the push to create a transitional council, met for discussions in Jamaica on Monday but said no plan had been finalized. Guyana’s president, Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who leads Caricom, a union of 15 Caribbean countries, said that “we still have a long way to go.”

Henry submitted his resignation, officials of the regional bloc CARICOM announced Monday night. “We acknowledge the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry upon the establishment of a transitional presidential council and the naming of an interim prime minister,” Guyana leader and current CARICOM President Irfaan Ali said. Henry was under pressure from the US to secure a political settlement, but it is far from clear who will step in. One named touted is Guy Philippe, a rebel leader recently deported from the US to Haiti after serving time for money laundering. But his decision only further enraged protesters who had for months demanded he stand down as Haiti slid further into poverty and rampant gang violence.

☆ Exxon could make a bid for Hess' oil assets in Guyana if Chevron deal terminates
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-06 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Exxon Mobil indicated Wednesday it could make a bid for Hess' oil assets in Guyana if the company's merger agreement with Chevron fails due to a dispute over pre-emption rights. Exxon filed for arbitration at the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris Wednesday morning to adjudicate the dispute with Chevron over Hess' Guyana assets, Exxon senior vice president Neil Chapman said during an interview at a Morgan Stanley event. "We are extremely confident in our position that pre-emption rights exist in this contract, and we fully intend on ensuring that we preserve those pre-emption rights," Chapman said. Chevron entered an agreement in October to purchase Hess for $53 billion, in a play to gain a foothold in Guyana's massive offshore oil assets. The oil major has said Exxon's pre-emption rights under the joint operating agreement do not apply to its pending merger with Hess.

Hess Corp shares fell Tuesday after Chevron warned investors that a dispute with Exxon Mobil and China's National Offshore Oil Corp. (Cnooc) over Guyana's offshore oil assets could jeopardize its bid to acquire the company. Chevron said Exxon and Cnooc's claims could delay or completely derail its acquisition of Hess. Chevron said in the filing that it does not believe the joint operating agreement applies to its acquisition of Hess. Neal Dingmann, an analyst at Truist, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday that it is unlikely Exxon and Cnooc will scoop up Hess' Guyana assets. The dispute with Exxon and Cnooc is the latest hurdle that Chevron's bid to acquire Hess faces.

America’s two largest energy companies, Exxon Mobil and Chevron, are jousting over a prized new source of oil in the waters off Guyana, in Latin America. The conflict is creating doubts over Chevron’s bid to acquire Hess Corp. for $53 billion, announced in October. With just 800,000 people, Guyana, long one of Latin America’s poorest countries, is now being compared to Qatar, the natural gas-rich Persian Gulf emirate. Exxon has raised concerns over Chevron’s effort to gain entry to this petroleum bonanza through a proposed purchase of Hess’s 30 percent stake in Stabroek. Exxon owns 45 percent of Stabroek and is the operator or manager of the area.

By Robertson S. HenryKINGSTOWN (Reuters) - The top court in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines dismissed a challenge to anti-gay laws dating to British colonial rule on Friday, leaving the Caribbean country among a handful that still prescribes harsh criminal penalties against gays and lesbians. Local laws call for up to ten years incarceration for anyone who has same-sex relations, under a 1988 criminal code that upheld laws from the colonial era. In her ruling, Judge Esco Henry held that Johnson and Macleish did not have the standing to challenge the laws since they do not live in the country. Activists argue that the laws that criminalize consensual same-sex relations between adults encourage physical abuse and discrimination, even though they are rarely if ever enforced. But elsewhere in the Caribbean, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, and Barbados have decriminalized gay sex in 2022, while Trinidad and Tobago struck down its ban altogether in 2018.

☆ Why oil prices aren’t soaring despite Middle East uncertainty

Oil prices spiked last month following US-led strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to repeated attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. One factor that could be keeping the cap on oil prices is waning demand. “Global oil demand growth is losing momentum,” said the agency in its February report. While global oil demand growth is slowing, supply has stayed relatively strong, potentially putting further downward pressure on oil prices. “Higher global oil supply this year, led by the United States, Brazil, Guyana and Canada, should more than eclipse the expected rise in world oil demand,” said the report.

Crude oil demand is expected to grow by 1.2 million barrels per day this year, down nearly 50% from growth of 2.3 million bpd in 2023, according to the Paris-based International Energy Agency. "The expansive post-pandemic growth phase in global oil demand has largely run its course," the IEA wrote in its February oil market report Thursday. Supply, meanwhile, is expected to exceed demand and grow by 1.7 million bpd this year driven primarily by higher production in the U.S., Brazil, Canada and Guyana. "Given heightened geopolitical risks and low global oil inventories, a modest surplus may help contain market volatility," the IEA said. OPEC, on the other hand, is forecasting a much tighter oil market this year, with demand growing by 2.2 million bpd, outpacing production growth of 1.2 million bpd outside the cartel.

Diamondback Energy took one of the last major, privately held operators in the Permian off the table this week when it agreed to buy Endeavor Energy Resources for $26 billion. The deal is poised to catapult Diamondback into the top tier in the Permian, the most prolific oil patch in the U.S. that stretches from western Texas into southeastern New Mexico. The top six companies in the Permian are set to own 62% of the basin's remaining oil reserves, according to Rystad Energy.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The government of Venezuela accused neighboring Guayana Sunday of granting illegal oil exploration concessions in territory the two nations are disputing. The comments Sunday came after Guyana said Saturday that it has satellite imagery showing Venezuelan military movements near the South American country’s eastern border with Guyana. Venezuela has been laying claim to the mineral-rich Essequibo region, which covers about two thirds of Guyana’s surface area. But for more than 60 years Venezuela has accused the commission of cheating it out of the Essequibo region. Several top American administration and military officials have visited Guyana in recent weeks as a show of support.

That part of her decision was reversed by the Colorado Supreme Court. All seven of the justices on Colorado’s Supreme Court were appointed by Democrats. The majority quoted a ruling from Neil Gorsuch, one of Trump’s conservative Supreme Court nominees, from when he was a federal judge in Colorado. A number of them are on hold because state courts are waiting to see what the U.S. Supreme Court will do.
