A framework for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to cooperate with Asian countries on oil stockpiling is set to be launched, with Japan supporting the initiative through financial assistance and stockpiling expertise, the Nikkei business daily said on Monday.
Unlike petrol, the UK does not refine enough diesel to meet domestic consumption. Britain has only about 40 days’ worth of diesel in reserve, one of the lowest levels in Europe, according to Sky analysis of data from the International Energy Forum.
President Trump believes that Britain would not be badly hit if he bans diesel exports. If only that were true. In fact, current United Kingdom stocks would last six weeks. By comparison, France, Italy, Spain and Germany, according to International Energy Forum data, all hold around six months of diesel reserves.
The Ministry of Energy will host a series of major international and regional energy meetings and events in Riyadh from October 11 to 15, 2026, bringing together energy ministers, industry CEOs, heads of international organizations, experts and specialists from around the world for a week of high-level energy dialogue and engagement.
Saudi Arabia will bring together some of the world’s most influential energy leaders in Riyadh from Oct. 11-15 for high-level talks on energy security, oil and gas markets, investment and the technologies reshaping the global energy industry.
The medium-term anchor OPEC projects Indian oil demand reaching approximately 6.1 million bpd in 2027, a gain of roughly 0.4 million bpd on 2026. That constructive framing is where the tension begins. The International Energy Forum’s September comparative analysis found that OPEC, the IEA, and the U.S. EIA have all trimmed their India projections more than for most other major consumers.
Today’s energy sector adaptability is a reflection of yesterday’s investment decisions. This was one of the key messages from an influential Gastech panel discussion that asked whether energy markets were ending in favour of strategic blocs. H.E. Jassim AlShirawi, Secretary General, International Energy Forum (IEF), argued that disruptions in the Middle East demonstrated the adaptability of energy markets and the importance of timely investment across all fuels and supply chains.
According to a fresh LNG market security study from the International Energy Forum, worldwide liquefied natural gas consumption is projected to reach 800 billion cubic meters annually — equal to about 28.2 trillion cubic feet per year — by 2031, rising from 600 Bcm per year in 2026, with the United States continuing to hold its position as the top supplier. The IEF, an intergovernmental body that fosters international energy dialogue, forecasts that America will retain the leading supplier role throughout that period.
The International Energy Forum (IEF) released Global LNG Market Security, a new report prepared in collaboration with the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC), examining the changing structure of global liquefied natural gas markets and the implications for energy security, affordability and market resilience.
The IEF and JOGMEC have released a new report examining the changing structure of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets and the implications for energy security, affordability and resilience. The report, Global LNG Market Security, finds that global LNG trade could reach around 800 billion cubic metres (bcm) by 2031, up from more than 600 bcm expected in 2026.
Global demand for LNG is projected to rise to 800 billion cubic meters per year, approximately 28.2 Tcf/year, by 2031, increasing from 600 Bcm/year in 2026. The United States is expected to remain the largest supplier, according to a recent LNG market security report from the International Energy Forum.
Global LNG demand is expected to rise from 600 Bcm per year in 2026 to 800 Bcm per year by 2031, with the United States remaining the largest supplier, according to an IEF report.
An IEF-JOGMEC report says global LNG trade could reach 800 billion cubic metres by 2031, while supply concentration and infrastructure constraints highlight resilience risks.

An IEF-JOGMEC study projects global LNG trade could reach about 800 billion cubic metres by 2031 while supply concentration, infrastructure limits and maritime chokepoints raise resilience risks.
The International Energy Forum (IEF) published today (14/9) the new "Global LNG Market Security" report, which was prepared in collaboration with the Japan Metals and Energy Security Agency (JOGMEC) and examines the changing structure of the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, as well as its impact on energy security, affordability and market resilience.
LNG executives said Qatari exports would not immediately normalize after the Strait of Hormuz reopens; the article cites IEF data showing about a fifth of global LNG trade crossed the strait in 2024.
