            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's Constitutional Court on Friday blocked offshore exploration led by Shell along the country's pristine Wild Coast, a setback for the oil major after years of legal challenges by local communities and environmentalists. The ruling is the latest outcome in a series of court cases that have dampened investor appetite and delayed exploration offshore South Africa.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global oil supply will fall by 4.3-million barrels per day (bpd), or around 4%, this year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday, as renewed hostilities in the Middle East disrupt supplies and plunge the world deeper into an oil-market deficit.

The US-Iran ceasefire broke down last month around a month after the parties signed a memorandum of understanding to end the war. Since then, tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz have resumed and the conflict spread as Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels launched attacks in the Red Sea.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's proposed shift from voluntary to mandatory strategic petroleum stockholding may strengthen protection against fuel supply shocks, but will require importers to finance more stock and risk trapping the working capital needed to keep trade moving, says cross-border financial technology firm Verto. The dual-obligation model detailed in the gazetted Draft Strategic Petroleum Stocks Policy requires State strategic stocks equivalent to 60 days of net imports that will be managed by the South African National Petroleum Company, and 21 days of mandatory stocks for licensed wholesalers and importers.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Energy and chemicals producer Sasol reports that its earnings for the year to end-June will be higher than the prior year, owing to a combination of higher sales and prices, which more than offset the impact of the stronger rand. In a trading statement issued ahead of the release of Sasol’s financial results on September 1, the group said that its headline earnings per share (HEPS) would be between R36 and R40, up between 2% and 14% compared with  the prior year HEPS of R35.13.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The conflict in the Middle East has deepened forecasts of a global oil deficit in 2026, according to a Reuters poll of analysts, but recovering Gulf flows, robust US production and weaker demand from China are expected to tip the market into an oversupply in 2027. The Iran war has choked crude production and exports out of the Gulf, prompting analysts to cut their near-term supply forecasts and reverse course on previous expectations of a glut this year. Eight analysts polled by Reuters see an average deficit of 1.5-million barrels per day in 2026, roughly double the 750 000 barrels a day deficit forecast in a similar poll in April. In contrast, prior to the Iran war, analysts expected a 1.63-million barrels a day surplus for 2026.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Oil prices rose to their highest in almost six weeks on Wednesday, with Brent crude surpassing $95 a barrel, on mounting concerns about disruptions to Middle Eastern supply routes because of escalating hostilities between the US and Iran and threats to shipping by the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen.

            <description><![CDATA[A recent escalation of hostilities between the US and Iran could upend the International Energy Agency's (IEA's) forecast of a significant oil market surplus next year, it said on Friday, as global supply jumped in June when the Strait of Hormuz reopened but still lagged pre-war levels. Global oil markets received some respite last month as a peace agreement between the US and Iran facilitated the opening of the Strait, the effective closure of which had taken out as much as 14-million barrels per day of crude flows during the peak of the largest oil supply crisis in history.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced on Thursday that $900-million of new commitments had been made to the international Clean Cooking in Africa (CCA) initiative. Further, of the $2.2-billion pledged at the inaugural CCA summit in Paris in 2024, $740-million had already been deployed, spread across 22 African countries. “At the 2024 Summit, I committed that we would track every dollar pledged and every stove reaching households,” highlighted IEA executive director Fatih Birol. “Our focus now is to maintain this momentum, mobilise further investment, and work with countries to turn commitments into lasting impact for the millions of people who still lack access to clean cooking.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Earth scientists at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT’s) Department of Geological Sciences have identified a hitherto unknown geological fault underneath the Karoo basin. This fault extends across the Karoo basin, running from west-northwest to east-southeast, at a depth varying from 2 km to 12 km. Moreover, this fault seems to be critically stressed, meaning that it can generate earthquakes. This discovery, published in the “Seismological Research Letters”, was made as a result of a study into a swarm of mainly small earthquakes (although one reached a magnitude of 4.8) located near Leeu Gamka, in the Western Cape province, and which started unexpectedly in 2007. So far, at least 66 of these earthquakes have been detected. These earthquakes were all entirely natural.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Oil prices extended their decline on Thursday to near levels last seen before the start of the Iran war, as expectations of rising supply from the Middle East outweighed demand concerns. Prompt-month Brent crude futures for August delivery fell $1.06, or 1.44%, to $72.68 a barrel by 0639 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate lost 76 cents, or 1.08%, to $69.58 a barrel.]]></description>
