BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

British oil giant BP on Tuesday reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit as higher crude and gas production outweighed a weak oil trading result.

The London-listed oil and gas major posted underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.21 billion for July-September period. That beat analyst expectations of $2.03 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus.

BP’s third-quarter net profit came in at $2.3 billion last year and $2.35 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

Chevron CEO applauds Trump administration’s energy policy shift during Permian Basin tour

In an exclusive conversation with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo during a tour of the Permian Basin, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said America’s vast energy resources are not just an economic advantage – but also a matter of national defense – while praising President Donald Trump’s energy initiatives.

“Energy security and national security are linked,” Wirth said in a preview of his interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” which will air in full on “Mornings with Maria” Monday.

“The U.S. is blessed with an abundance of natural resources,” he continued. “And we now have an administration that wants to see the energy industry invest in those resources to make sure that America’s energy strength translates into economic strength and competitiveness and, importantly, security.”

China’s strong oil buying supports global prices, stabilizes markets, and strengthens energy security amid U.S. and OPEC+ changes.

China is soaking up oil imports, and the US and Russia are reasons why

There is a mystery at the heart of the global oil market. China has soaked up a torrent of oil imports this year, filling tanks and underground caverns. Without this, prices would be much lower. But why is Beijing snapping up oil it doesn’t obviously need? How much is it going to keep buying? And for how long?

The first part of the puzzle is exactly how much crude the Middle Kingdom has absorbed. It does not release figures for storage capacity or volumes, so they have to be estimated. Its aboveground tanks can be assessed by satellite, but a growing portion of its capacity is now below-ground. The amount going into storage can be approximated by looking at the difference between the sum of imports and domestic production on the one hand, and the amount refined on the other.

India plans to boost US oil and gas imports to diversify energy sources amid U.S. criticism of its Russian oil buys.

India seeks to import more US oil and gas under pressure from Trump to stop Russian oil purchases

India says it is looking to step up purchases of crude oil and natural gas from the U.S. as it diversifies its energy supplies and confronts criticism by U.S. President Donald Trump over its imports of discounted Russian oil.

Trump said Wednesday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally assured him his country would stop buying Russian oil, in a move that might add to pressure on Moscow to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.

“There will be no oil. He’s not buying oil,” Trump said. The change won’t take immediately, he said, but “within a short period of time.”

OPEC has kept its global oil demand growth forecasts unchanged for 2025 and 2026, expecting continued robust economic growth to drive demand.

OPEC remains upbeat on global oil demand growth

OPEC remains upbeat and bullish on global oil demand growth for this year and next as it continues to unwind its crude production cuts.

The cartel kept unchanged its 2025 and 2026 oil demand growth forecasts in its closely-watched Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) for October published on Monday.

In the report, OPEC expects global oil demand to grow by about 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) this year from 2024, and reach on average 105.1 million bpd, reflecting continued robust economic growth. The view, unchanged from last month’s report, is driven by expectations of 1.2 million bpd demand growth in China, India, and other Asian markets.

Oil prices rebound after sharp declines

Oil prices rebound modestly after last week’s sharp declines driven by U.S.-China tensions and demand destruction fears, XMArabia Analyst Nadir Belbarka said in a statement sent to Rigzone on Monday.

“President Trump’s plan for 100 percent tariffs on Chinese goods from November 1, alongside geopolitical risks in Ukraine, Gaza, and Russia, has heightened volatility,” Belbarka said in the statement.

“Late-session reassurances, including a potential Xi meeting, stabilized sentiment, but the oil market remains fragile,” the analyst warned.

Texas approves major grid plan for the Permian Basin, including potential first-ever 765-kV lines to meet soaring demand.

Texas approves $13.8B plan for Permian Basin grid

USA, Texas: Texas regulators have approved a sweeping reliability plan for the Permian Basin to address soaring electricity demand driven by oil and gas production, data centres, and industrial growth. The plan could see the state’s first 765-kV transmission lines built to import power from other regions, marking a milestone in Texas grid development. Let’s talk more about Texas approves $13.8B plan.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) directed transmission service providers to begin preparing applications. It is for eight new import paths into the Permian Basin– five 345-kV and three 765-kV routes. A final decision on whether to move forward with 765-kV construction is expected by May 1.

“These would be the first 765-kV lines ever built in Texas. Some of the first in the US,” said Doug Lewin, President of Stoic Energy. Commissioner Jimmy Glotfelty added that higher-voltage lines could save $100–300 million annually. This is in congestion costs while reducing line losses and overall route length.
