The recent string of rebel takeovers in Iraq has affected not only the safety of its people but global energy markets as well.

Platts has been independently and impartially assessing oil markets since 1909, and with the recent crude oil developments in the U.S. […]
I had the distinct honor of attending the Energy Risk Asia conference held in Singapore on September 26. The conference brought together risk managers, commodity traders, procurement officers, quantitative analysts, and exchange personnel from the energy industry, and, of course, data and analytics solution providers together for one day of intense presentations and industry roundtables.

In the BusinessWeek article, “The Giant Sucking Sound: Why is Oil leaving Cushing’s Tanks So Fast?” , Matthew Philips takes a look at why a “historic glut of crude that built up in Cushing over the past three years” has dropped 40% (to 34 million barrels from 50 million barrels) at the close of August […]
