The step taken by BP and Shell is not merely a shift in corporate positioning; it signals a quiet rewriting of the rules governing global gas flows. The tension between the legal framework of sanctions and the structural necessity of energy security is surfacing more openly than ever.

North Sea countries in Europe have agreed on a comprehensive energy cooperation framework aimed at expanding offshore wind capacity through a cross-border network structure. Yet this step is not merely a renewable energy initiative focused on building new power plants. Europe is not constructing a production site in the North Sea, but a power space.

Greenland is not for sale. But it is on the table. What is being tested through Greenland today is not an island, but the resilience of the global order itself. Through this case, we see where an ally’s sovereignty becomes negotiable, when trade turns into an explicit instrument of pressure, and where the fractures in the global system begin to surface. Trump’s Greenland move is neither a gaffe nor a temporary bargaining tactic; it is a clear signal of how power is now exerci

The Philippines has announced its first offshore natural gas discovery in more than a decade, located off the coast of Palawan. However, this development represents far more than a technical energy update. This raises a critical question: If a state cannot secure its offshore energy domain politically and militarily, who does that resource truly belong to?

Global oil prices have once again moved above the $60 threshold. This level may not be generating loud headlines, but within the offshore energy domain, it signals a far deeper shift. The issue is not the price itself. At $60, oil marks a psychological and financial inflection point at which deepwater and offshore projects begin to be seriously reconsidered.

As we enter 2026, Norway’s new licenses in the North Sea; the transfer of offshore wind projects in the United Kingdom and the United States into courtrooms within Anglo-Saxon legal systems; and quietly re-emerging production signals along African coastlines all clearly demonstrate that offshore energy has moved beyond being a purely technical domain.
