MEES

Contributing editor Kate Dourian sits downs with our Managing Editor James Cockayne and Jamie Ingram our senior Editor tackling a wide range of energy topics in our reboot episode.

MEES Managing Editor James Cockayne hosts Senior Editor Jamie Ingram for a discussion on global oil market dynamics and one oil firm’s plans to bring Syrian crude oil back to the market.

In this month's MEES podcast Managing Editor James Cockayne is joined by North Africa Editor Aydin Calik. Since February's invasion of Ukraine, Russia's key gas customers in Europe have drawn up plans to rapidly end their reliance on Russian gas. This potentially offers major opportunities for top North African gas producer Algeria which is linked to Europe by three gas pipelines and is also a major LNG exporter. But with Algeria also notorious for bureaucratic inertia, can it capitalize?

This week Senior Editor Jamie Ingram and East Mediterranean Editor Peter Stevenson discussed amongst other things the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on regional gas markets and took a closer look at potential monetization opportunities for Cypriot gas. We also hear from acting Director General of Cyprus' Hydrocarbons Company (CHC) Demetris Fessas on Cyprus' role in the East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF) and the country's energy transition goals.

In episode 2, MEES Senior Editor Jamie Ingram hosts our Managing Editor James Cockayne and Gulf analyst Yesar Al-Maleki in a frank discussion about the realities about gas supplies following the invasion of Ukraine.

In our first episode, MEES Managing Editor James Cockayne, Senior Editor Jamie Ingram and Contributing Editor Kate Dourian have a chat on gas markets and Qatar's ability to come to the rescue, Algeria's focus on oil as IOCs and NOCs shift their focus into the 'Energy Transition' and global market supply coming out of the US Permian.
