BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 29 . UK-based Aquaterra
Energy, a leader in global offshore energy engineering solutions,
has been awarded a high-pressure high temperature (HPHT) subsea
riser contract with oil and gas operator, Umid Babek Operating
Company (UBOC), for the exploration of its HP well on the Babek
project in Azerbaijan, Trend reports with reference to the
Reportedly, Aquaterra Energy will deliver its 15,000 psi subsea
riser system, utilising its AQC-SR connector range, as part of
UBOC's drilling program for the BX-01 exploration well located at
the Babek field. Aquaterra Energy will provide a complete
end-to-end managed service, as a fully independent riser system and
connector OEM, which will be operated via a jack-up MODU, in water
depths of 62 meters.
The company secured the competitive tender through its early
consultation and solutions-based approach. Aquaterra Energy's
in-house team of engineering experts advised using a jack-up rig
instead of a semi-submersible to maximise safety and efficiency,
while minimising cost and rig-time. Semi-submersible rigs can
suffer more downtime and can take up to 20 percent additional time
to complete the same operation, as opposed to using a jack-up in
shallower water depths.
The system's AQC-SR quick connectors will provide UBOC with
crucial gas tight metal-to-metal seals and a back-up elastomeric
seal. In addition, the ability to pressure test each connection
upon make-up provides enhanced environmental reassurance against
well bore fluid discharge, and gives assurance of connector
integrity prior to running.

The Nasarawa State Government said recently that it would assist rice millers and farmers in the state to access loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to boost rice production.
The Commissioner for Agriculture and Water Resources, Mr Yusuf Lawee,
revealed in an interview with newsmen in Lafia.
He said that the measure was designed to boost rice production for local consumption and export in line with the Federal Government’s drive to diversify the economy.
Lawee said that as soon as the paper works were completed, the rice millers and growers would be able to access the loan and increase their production capacity.
He said the state government was also working towards expanding the scope of
the pilot rice incubation plant project in the state.
The commissioner said that the project was a collaborative Programme between the Nigerian Government and the Japanese International Corporation Agency (JICA).
He said the project was aimed at improving the quality of locally produced
rice as well as reduce post-harvest loss.
Lawee said that the state government had already allocated land for the millers around the incubation plant for easy access to the plant to process their commodity.
He said the millers had been exposed to the technology, adding that increasing the scope of the plant would encourage other farmers to go into large scale production of the commodity.
The commissioner said the product from the plant met international standard and the expansion of the plant would make the state a hub for quality rice production.
He said that the initiative would also stimulate local food demand and generate huge foreign exchange through export.


(MENAFN) Due to increased shipments from the US and the Middle East, enormous supertankers that transport crude oil around the world are earning more money than they have in more than two years.
On Wednesday, benchmark earnings for very big crude carriers surpassed $40,000 per day for the first time since June 2020. In just over a week, ratings in the widely used World scale system increased by about 40%. According to shipowners, the increase was brought on by a rise in loadings from the US Gulf and the Middle East.
When producers reduced output early in the outbreak, tanker demand fell; but, record US crude exports and an increase in flows from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries are now raising amounts of oil at sea. Additionally, the global fleet has been severely stretched as a result of the rerouting of Russian oil supply.
“We now see frenetic activity in all key basins and rates are moving up quickly,” Lars Barstad, chief executive officer of Frontline Management AS, which runs the ships of one of the world’s largest tanker companies, stated.
“Global oil supply has reached a pivotal point with US production, SPR releases and lastly healthy Saudi volumes, while the rerouting of Russian flows is also boosting the distances ships are covering,” as per Barstad.

(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala has stirred a controversy with his comments about BJP leader and Mathura MP Hema Malini during an election campaign. A video capturing Surjewala's remarks is circulating widely on social media, prompting backlash from BJP leaders against the Congress.
Surjewala reportedly made these remarks while addressing a public meeting on April 1 in support of INDI Alliance candidate K Sushil Gupta in a village in Kaithal, within the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency of Haryana.
The BJP has condemned Surjewala's comments as inappropriate and disrespectful, particularly towards Hema Malini and women in general. Amit Malviya, head of BJP's IT department, shared a video on social media showcasing Surjewala's remarks, criticizing them as sexist and derogatory. Malviya suggested that such remarks reflect poorly on the Congress party's stance towards women, branding it as "misogynistic" under Rahul Gandhi's leadership.
Malviya said, "Congress MP Randeep Surjewala makes a vile sexist comment, that is demeaning and derogatory, not just for Hema Malini, who is an accomplished individual, but women in general. Who thinks of women as something to lick? That is the most disgusting description someone can come up with. Just the other day, Surjewala's colleague was asking 'rate' of another BJP woman leader, and now this..."
Hema Malini, an actor-turned-politician, currently serves as the Lok Sabha MP representing Mathura constituency in Uttar Pradesh and is contesting in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

Geneva: The State of Qatar has affirmed its support for all efforts aiming at achieving a comprehensive cease-fire in Syria and the delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need, thus contributing to a political solution to the crisis on the basis of the Geneva Declaration and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, in particular resolution 2254, and ensures the realization of the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people who came out for that peacefully, and received no answer from the Syrian regime except killing, destruction and gross violations of human rights.

H E called for greater support for the impartial and independent international mechanism to assist in the investigation of crimes in Syria in order to enable it to carry out its mandate.

(MENAFN- AFP) Romania called on its citizens Thursday to dig deep into their pockets to keep a masterpiece by celebrated sculptor Constantin Brancusi in the country.
The government in one of the EU's poorest countries has agreed to pay 11 million euros ($12.5 million) for "Wisdom of the Earth", considered one of the finest works by the Romanian-French artist.
But the state is putting up just five million euros from its own coffers for the sculpture, a national treasure which was seized by the communist regime and has been at the heart of a decades-long legal battle over its ownership.
It is seeking to raise the rest from the public and has launched an appeal to Romanian citizens, private companies and the diaspora, Culture Minister Vlad Alexandrescu said at a press conference.
"We are poor but with such a work of art... it's now or never," added Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos.
He said Romania would be "poorer still" without the sculpture, a woman carved out of limestone sitting with her arms on her legs and staring enigmatically into the distance.
It is currently on display at the Cotroceni National Museum in Bucharest.
The Romanian state has first refusal on all works considered national treasures and had been engaged in long negotiations to buy the Brancusi from the owners, who were initially demanding 20 million euros.
The sculptor, who spend much of his life in Paris where he died in 1957, had sold "Wisdom of the Earth" to his Romanian friend and art lover Gheorghe Romascu in 1911.
But it was seized in 1957 by the communist authorities claiming they intended to exhibit it at an art exhibition overseas.
After a lengthy legal battle launched after the fall of the Ceausescu regime in 1989, it was finally returned in 2010 to Romascu's descendants who announced four years later they intended to sell it.

For the month of June, the committee announced fuel rates on the last day of May. The revised rates were the highest in the UAE's history when fuel prices crossed Dh4 per litre.
With global oil prices staying above $110 a barrel, will oil prices go up further for July or be revised down? A decision on this is expected anytime today.

Veteran cricketer MS Dhoni is undergoing ayurvedic treatment from a nearby“vaidya” after experiencing pain in both knees. Dhoni is reportedly receiving treatment from a local practitioner in Ranchi. Dhoni told the doctor about the pain in both of his knees, and he subsequently received a dose of an INR 40 medication.
The vaidya stated that the medication cannot be taken home, thus Dhoni has to travel 70 kilometers once every four days to obtain the dosage. According to the reports, the same Vaidya also treated Dhoni's parents before him. The vaidya has been treating his patients with ayurvedic remedies for the previous three decades. He sits in a tarpaulin tent under a tree. He is seated in Katingkela, near the Lapung police station. The vaidya is identified as Bandhan Singh Kharwar.
MS Dhoni visited the vaidya
Bandhan Singh was unaware of Dhoni. Until he observed a large group of young children swarming around his car and snapping photographs with him. Even when Dhoni's parents used to visit him, he was unaware that he was treating them. He said,“Dhoni comes like a normal patient without any pomp. He has no pride in being a celebrity. However, now every four days, the news of Dhoni's arrival gathers his fans here. So now he sits in his car while his medicine is administered to him.”
In August 2020, MS Dhoni declared his retirement from international cricket. He has since only led and represented the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. CSK had a poor IPL this year and will look to start afresh in 2023 .

(MENAFN) The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has concluded its investigation into the May explosion at the Seqens pharmaceutical chemical plant in Newburyport, Massachusetts, which resulted in the tragic death of 62-year-old worker Jack O'Keefe. OSHA has determined that the explosion, which tore off most of the building's roof, could have been prevented. In response, the administration has proposed penalties totaling nearly USD300,000.
OSHA's findings, announced on Thursday, point to deficiencies in safety measures at Seqens and its subsidiary PolyCarbon Industries Inc. The investigation revealed that the companies "lacked safeguards" in the chemical-making process, particularly in their safety management program for highly hazardous chemicals. Additionally, OSHA highlighted the failure to assess the combustibility hazards of materials used in the production of the chemical Dekon 139, and the absence of safe upper and lower temperature limits to prevent the decomposition of Dekon 139.
The fatal incident occurred when a pressure vessel exploded, claiming the life of Jack O'Keefe. OSHA has cited both Seqens and PolyCarbon Industries Inc. with a total of 11 violations, including eight classified as serious. The proposed penalties amount to USD298,254. Representatives from the companies are expected to engage in discussions with OSHA on Tuesday, with a deadline until November 29 to either reach a settlement or contest the citations and penalties.
OSHA's Area Director, Sarah Carle, emphasized the importance of adherence to the agency's Process Safety Management standard, highlighting its stringent and comprehensive nature. She emphasized that compliance is crucial to identify and minimize hazards, as failure to do so can have severe or catastrophic consequences for employees, as tragically evidenced in this case. Employers are urged to consistently scrutinize, update, and maintain each element of the process to ensure the safety and health of workers.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Peninsula
The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) has launched Qatar Behavioural Insights Unit (QBIU), which is the region's first initiative that supports behavioural insights through the launch of projects aimed at changing the behaviour of individuals positively to improve their lives.
QBIU is actively helping in conducting policy experimentation to support the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy and other bodies throughout the State in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
During the first year, Qatar Behavioural Insights Unit conducted experiments related to education, workers welfare, environmental sustainability and healthy lifestyles.
It also made an interesting presentation about the unit and its objectives on the sidelines of the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), which took place at Qatar National Convention Centre in November 2017.
At present, the QBIU is focused on supporting the SC as it strives to deliver the biggest event in Qatar's history. Earlier in the year it helped the Workers' Welfare Department improve the way it collects complaints from workers engaged on project sites an initiative which not only improved the quality of handling complaints, but also increased the quantity of complaints by more than 30%.
It also helped Generation Amazing increase PE teachers' participation in its training sessions by 33%. Randomised controlled tests were used for both projects.
Recently the Unit participated in the SC's inaugural 'Knowledge Transfer Day, which was attended by colleagues from the health, safety, security and the environment (HSSE) division and Workers' Welfare Department.
Its task now is to encourage attendees to stick to the pledges they made during the event in order to improve communication and collaboration.
In addition, QBIU has organised a number of micro-trials related to sustainability and healthy lifestyle. Many are very simple, such as using posters to encourage people to pick a healthy food option or bright stickers to convince people to take the stairs rather than the elevator. The Unit is currently reviewing the results of these trials.
The Unit's challenge in 2018 is to keep the momentum going. While continuing to work closely with the SC, it will endeavour to work alongside organisations across Qatar and the region. This comes out of its keenness to spread the culture of behavioral economy in the region and to acquaint individuals with the importance of this science and its great benefits in improving their lives.
QBIU is another example of how the 2022 FIFA World Cup is having a positive impact on Qatar and the region.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) Along Asian coastlines, there are many areas where rural communities are experiencing alarming rates of sea-level rise due to the loss of their mangrove cover . Europe also has lost half of its wetlands , much of it through drainage.
Last year, the Andalusian parliament legalized the widespread abstraction of underground water by strawberry farmers, which is drying up the Doñana wetland and leading to the desertification of Spain .
Degradation of Sahelian wetlands in north-central Africa has caused resource scarcity, undermining human well-being and compelling people to migrate.
In Indonesia , peat swamps are rapidly being logged, burned, and converted for agriculture, causing massive forest fires affecting the respiratory health of millions of people.
Meanwhile, as you read this, the world's largest tropical wetland ecosystem, the Pantanal of Brazil, is being scorched by wildfires .
What, you may ask, does this have to do with an annual UN climate conference, COP28, which is focused on emissions reduction and coping with the impacts of a globally heating world? Mitigation
Mitigation refers to reducing the amount of greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere to slow the rate of climate change. The most important action needed in this aspect is rapid and ambitious emission reduction.

(MENAFN- Live Mint) "New Delhi: The external affairs ministry on Wednesday said it has set up an inquiry committee to look into the“inputs” from the US after the latter reportedly warned New Delhi of a plot to assassinate pro-Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun comes on the heels of a report in the Financial Times, which claimed that US officials helped foil a plot to assassinate Pannun who leads Sikhs For Justice. According to the report, US officials had delivered a warning to the Indian government amid concerns about its involvement in the matter after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to the US in June has been designated a terrorist by Indian authorities under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).“...it is informed that on 18 November 2023, the Government of India constituted a high-level Enquiry Committee to look into all the relevant aspects of the matter. Government of India will take necessary follow-up action based on the findings of the Enquiry Committee,” the MEA announced on Wednesday did not deny the story and confirmed that the US government had provided“inputs pertaining to nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others”. The MEA also said that the relevant departments were following up on the matter.
Meanwhile, US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson confirmed that the US had conveyed its concerns to the Indian government, including at the“senior-most levels”.“We have conveyed our expectation that anyone deemed responsible should be held accountable,” said Watson handling of this crisis differed markedly from New Delhi's recent confrontation with Canada over similar allegations. In September, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly said there were“credible allegations” of India's involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, another prominent face in the pro-Khalistan movement, in September. This sparked off a diplomatic spat that saw talks on a bilateral trade agreement stall and the mutual expulsion of diplomats Financial Times' report also stated that a sealed indictment has been filed against individuals involved in the case, which may be unsealed and made public. The report also stated that the US had briefed its allies about the matter once Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly insinuated Indian involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

(MENAFN- IANS) Chandigarh, Sep 25 (IANS) A day ahead of the North Zone Council meeting in Amritsar to be chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Monday demanded Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to take a firm stand on important issues concerning the state, including the inalienable right over state capital Chandigarh.
In a statement issued here, senior SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema said that since the Union Home Minister will chair the meeting, it is of utmost importance to clarify that Chandigarh belongs to Punjab and that no land could be allotted in the Union Territory for constructing a separate Vidhan Sabha by Haryana.
“The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) inability to take up this issue forcefully with the Centre has led to fast-tracking of this project, which should be stopped in its tracks immediately,” Cheema said.
The SAD leader asserted that the Chief Minister should also declare that the character of Panjab University in Chandigarh could not be changed, and that there is no question of affiliating any Haryana college with the university.
“It should be made clear that Haryana does not have any stake in Panjab University after voluntarily disaffiliating its colleges from the institution in 1978,” he said.
In addition, Cheema said the Chief Minister is also duty-bound to clarify the principled stand of Punjab on the Satluj Yamuna Link (SYL) canal and sharing of river water with the eneighbouring states.
Neither does Punjab have land for construction of the canal as it was transferred back to farmers, nor does it have any excess water with large swathes of the state turning into red zones, Cheema said.
He added that the Chief Minister should also ask the Central government to revert to the old guidelines for appointment of Chairman and members of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).
The SAD leader hoped that the presence of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal would not become a hindrance in defending Punjab's case on important issues concerning it.
The Northern Zonal Council comprises the states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territories of Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Chandigarh.
Besides the Chief Ministers of the member states, along with two senior ministers from each state and the Lieutenant Governors or Administrators of the Union Territories, the Chief Secretaries and other high-ranking officials of the state governments, the Union Territories and the Centre will participate in the meeting.

(MENAFN- AFP) Russia is to send out Cossacks in traditional tsarist uniforms to patrol Moscow streets and crack down on petty crime, a city official said Tuesday.
"We have agreed with the Moscow Cossacks that they will patrol to help ensure order near the Kremlin," said deputy head of Moscow's central Tverskoy district Andrei Kuleshov.
But the traditionally warlike group will not be allowed to ride horses or carry swords. And since they are not policemen, they will not be allowed to make arrests.
"We will need them mostly to stop illegal sales of souvenirs and flowers and illegal parking near the Kremlin," Kuleshov told AFP.
Famed for their horsemanship, Russian Cossacks were a major military force before the Russian Revolution of 1917, predominantly in the south where they were charged with patrolling the troubled border region.
Under the tsars, the Cossacks were recognised as a separate social group and when the Bolsheviks came to power, they targeted the Cossacks in one of the earliest waves of repressions, wiping them out as a class.
However the remaining Cossacks are currently making a comeback, reviving their culture and promoting traditional values including Russian Orthodox Christianity.
Cossacks have also harassed participants in gay parades and contemporary art exhibitions and recently protested against feminist punk band Pussy Riot after they performed in Russia's main cathedral.
A Cossack representative confirmed to AFP that patrols will begin "any day now" and will see groups of three men in blue tsarist uniforms, on foot and without their traditional swords and riding whips.
"Cossacks don't even need their swords or whips. Their mere posture will be enough," said Gennady Afonin, the chief state major of the central Cossack troops.
Similar patrols have already been introduced in the southern city of Krasnodar, where Cossacks have accompanied police officers.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency )
BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 10
Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Askar Mamin listed the measures taken by the government to retain existing investors, Trend reports citing Kazakh media.
"In order to further stimulate investment activity, the government was tasked with bringing the volume of investments in fixed capital to 30 percent of GDP, and the volume of gross inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) to $30 billion by 2025 (in the National Development Plan for the next four years and the election program of the Nur Otan party)," Mamin said responding to the deputy's request. "The government is implementing systemic measures aimed at achieving target indicators and ensuring a targeted approach to attracting high-quality investments, as well as improving the country's investment climate."
According to him, in order to retain existing investors, stimulate reinvestment and protect the interests of investors, special advisory bodies function, within which proposals of investors are discussed and decisions are made on their problematic issues.
In particular, the Council of Foreign Investors has been operating under the chairmanship of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev (since 1998).
On August 26 this year, a working meeting of the president with the council members was held, during which he emphasized significant progress in resolving most of the issues reported by the members:
- proposals were supported to eliminate the discriminatory approach in calculating the penalty for emissions from gas flaring, as well as to optimize the threshold for bringing businesses to criminal liability for tax violations (on July 2, 2021, these norms were legislated);
- a new investment tool was jointly developed - an improved model contract, which will provide legal protection and stability of investments and will be applied to all geological basins, providing fiscal and other preferences (depending on the categories of projects);
- an interdepartmental front office is being created for operational interaction with foreign investors in the oil and gas industry on the basis of the "one window" principle.
"The Institute of the Investment Ombudsman functions under my chairmanship (since 2015), which allows to regulate and resolve emerging investment disputes before appealing to courts, which helps to identify controversial issues at an early stage. Reducing the involvement of foreign investors in litigation and arbitration disputes is one of the key criteria for improving the investment attractiveness of the country," concluded Mamin.

(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Presidents of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Swiss Confederation Monday night discussed ways of expanding relations between the two countries in all areas of mutual interest, IRNA reported.
In his private meeting with Swiss President Alain Berset, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said there are no obstacles to promotion of Tehran-Bern ties and both countries are determined to make further use of existing capacities in line with their bilateral cooperation.
Iran and Switzerland have always enjoyed friendly relations, something that has laid the groundwork for broadening of bilateral ties in various arenas, Rouhani said, calling for more efforts to be made in this respect.
Terming the nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers in 2015, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as a multilateral and international pact, Rouhani said the United States by unilaterally withdrawing from the deal showed that it had no respect for its international commitments.
Urging the need for both countries to hold more consultations on major regional and international issues, the Iranian president said the Islamic Republic has never initiated tension in the region and its foreign policy is based on cooperation and friendship with its neighbors.
In turn, the Swish president termed Tehran-Bern relations as good and growing in various sectors such as scientific cooperation and implementation of joint projects.
Voicing Switzerland's support for the JCPOA, President Berset said the deal has been signed after long negotiations and endorsed by the United Nations Security Council and therefore all countries should try to preserve it.
Rouhani arrived in Zurich at the head of a high ranking political and economic delegation Monday evening on an official visit at the invitation of his Swiss counterpart.
The private talks between the two presidents began soon after Rouhani and his companions were officially greeted at the Zurich international airport by President Berset.
The high ranking Iranian and Swiss delegations are scheduled to hold talks and sign several documents Tuesday.

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has banned Russia and Belarus from participating in and hosting international tournaments until further notice following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The decision will prohibit the teams from taking part in both the Women's World Cup and the Men's World Cup qualifier. The Women's World Cup will start this year in September in Australia. Russia`s women`s team has been withdrawn and replaced by Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, their teams are also removed from the U17 Women's Basketball World Cup 2022. FIBA released a press release regarding the same.
Serbia to replace Russia in FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup
The Russian Basketball Federation (RBF) stated that the decision was made to safeguard their athletes.“FIBA's decision is primarily due to the impossibility of ensuring the safety of Russian teams during international competitions,” they said in a statement.“At the same time, there is no complete disqualification, as it happened with the Russian national teams in many other sports. The leadership of the RBF expected, understands, and is making this decision in connection with the current situation in the world and is in constant contact with FIBA representatives,” they added. This isn't the first time Russia is facing a ban . The Russian invasion of Ukraine has certainly caused both countries to suffer on several fronts.

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
In the future, Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) investments will be very visible, especially along the pipeline's communities, said the General Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Industry, Koli Bele.
His remarks came after TAP consortium delivered 600 personal backpack fire extinguishers and 100 fire-retardant uniforms to the Albanian authorities.
This equipment will enable emergency services to cope with wildfire situations across the country, said the message posted on TAP AG website.
'This is a good example of TAP's social and environmental investments as part of the agreement with the Albanian government. I am convinced that in the future TAP investments will be very visible, especially along the pipeline's communities,' added Bele.
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline has in the past provided aid for overcoming several emergency situations in Albania. During the harsh winter of 2016-2017, which locked down many villages, TAP assisted more than 1,300 households by providing food packages and blankets.
TAP is a part of the Southern Gas Corridor, which is one of the priority energy projects for the European Union. The project envisages transportation of gas from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz Stage 2 to the EU countries.

(MENAFN) In November, Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to the European Union reached a record high of 1.75 million tons, as reported by a business daily citing Kpler data. This surpassed the previous record set in December 2022, when 1.737 million tons were exported to the region.
The majority of November's shipments went to France and Belgium, receiving LNG from facilities in the Yamal peninsula and Vysotsk, operated by Novatek, Russia's second-largest gas producer.
On a global scale, Russian LNG shipments totaled 2.914 million tons in November, marking a 9.3 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. However, deliveries to China experienced a significant decline, dropping to 0.1 million tons from 0.8 million tons in the previous month.
According to independent energy expert Aleksandr Sobko, Dutch Transfer Title Facility (TTF) gas futures for November deliveries were occasionally priced equally or higher than spot LNG supplies to Asia. This shift in dynamics, coupled with lower transportation costs to the EU from Yamal, contributed to the EU market's growing attractiveness.
Sobko also noted that China's CNPC, a buyer of Yamal LNG, had redirected some shipments from Russia to more profitable markets, compensating for the Chinese market with supplies from other sources.

(MENAFN) The leader of the South American country acclaimed Ankara for stating Bogota a "strategic partner", since Turkiye and Colombia are eager on improving their two-sided ties.
Ivan Duque informed Anadolu Agency in an interview during a trip to Istanbul, where he landed on Friday and is going to stay till Sunday "I certainly applaud it and we're very pleased and honored."
Duque's trip, at the invitation of Turkish Leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, indicates the first trip to Turkiye by a Colombian leader since 11 years, after his precursor Juan Manuel Santos reached the nation.
Duque added "Bilateral trade has been increasing dynamically. We have now a trade balance that is above USD500 million, which is very positive."
He went on that both nations have the ability to focus on inking a contract to stay away from double taxation "If we start searching for common opportunities, this is a win-win", stressing that Turkiye and Colombia could double this number in the next years.
He continued "I'm also very happy to see that there's Turkish investment in infrastructure, renewable energy, retail, airlines, and we just want this flow to keep on coming to Colombia. But, at the same time, we want Colombia to be able to access the Turkish market."

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The electronic queue made it possible to make transparent the planning of entry and exit of ships in the ports of Odesa region but it does not solve the problems of inspection in the Bosphorus.
'It was fundamentally important for USPA to implement a process that would be transparent and understandable for the market. We did it by analogy with the Danube ports and launched an electronic queue. But no matter what effective planning tools we implement, Russia has a destructive position in the operation of the grain corridor,' Oleksiy Vostrikov, Head of the SE 'Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority', posted on facebook .
According to him, it is precisely because of the position of Russia, which blocks work in the Bosphorus, that an average of 3.5 ships pass through the strait per day, instead of 24-30.
'We already saw last month a queue in the Bosphorus with more than 150 ships that were idle there for more than 30 days. Then we solved the problem together with the UN and Turkey. Today, such a trend is being repeated,' the USPA head emphasized.
Currently, the queue in the Bosphorus has already reached 96 ships and will grow if the number of inspections is not increased.
According to the USPA, the situation with Russia blocking the operation of the grain corridor is discussed at daily industry meetings and weekly meetings with agricultural market participants. Ukraine has already sent a corresponding appeal to the initiative partners – the UN and Turkey.
As a reminder, on October 26, the State Enterprise 'Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority' launched an electronic queue for the ships heading to the ports of Odesa region through the grain corridor. In October, Russia deliberately began to delay the full-fledged implementation of the grain initiative, resulting in a queue of ships loaded with Ukrainian agricultural products in the Bosphorus.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Gold prices are likely to shine further and extend the rally this week due to the weakening of the US dollar and could touch $1,830 an ounce, according to analysts.
Gold rates rose 2.37 per cent or $41.23 an ounce to $1,777.29 on Friday.
In Dubai, retail gold prices also made a smart gain of around Dh5 per gram on Friday, as compared to the previous day.
Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group data showed that 24K price stood at Dh215.25 per gram, 22K at Dh202.25, 21K at Dh193.0 and 18K at Dh165.25 on Sunday morning.
'Now, the bullion seems all set to extend the momentum further towards reclaiming the $1,800 mark, which coincides with the 100-day moving average at $1,804. A break above $1,804 could see the metal rise to $1,830 per ounce level. For the week ahead, the metal is expected to trade between $1,745 to $1,830, said Arun Leslie John, chief market analyst at Century Financial.
In the UAE, 24K retail gold price is expected to trade between Dh210 to Dh221.5 per gram, said John.
'A pullback in the US Treasury bond yields is undermining the dollar and providing an additional boost to the dollar-denominated metal, he added.
Carlo Alberto De Casa, chief analyst at ActivTrades, attributed the rally to gold prices mostly to falling US Treasury yields and weakening of the greenback.
Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AVATrade, also said that the gold price would continue to move higher for some time after it cleared a significant obstacle level on Friday and the precious yellow metal is not yet at the overbought level.
'Most of these gains in gold are not primarily because of the soft economic numbers. In fact, on Thursday, we had very decent economic data out of the US. The reason that we're experiencing an upward trend in the gold price is that bears punished the gold price too much, thinking that the US Federal Reserve will take too aggressive action with respect to their monetary policy as economic recovery picks up pace, Aslam explained.

(MENAFN) The Defense for Children International Palestine movement has released a report detailing the impact of the Israeli forces' excessive use of force against civilians during incursions into Palestinian territories. According to the report, children in Jenin have been left living in constant fear and anxiety due to military action. The movement documented the testimonies of traumatized youngsters, highlighting that the Israeli forces' practices have violated the right to life of 17 children since the beginning of the year and have had significant effects on other children. These effects have manifested in their behavior, thinking, and academic performance, all of which are guaranteed by international law. The violence they have witnessed has threatened their psychological and social security, leaving them traumatized.
The report also revealed that six of the 17 children killed since the beginning of the year were from Jenin. Children have been used as human shields and detained for long hours in their homes, which were used as military barracks, sniper, and observation points during the storming of the city and its camp. These practices have greatly affected the children, according to the report.
The testimonies of Palestinian children reveal the devastating impact of the Israeli forces' excessive use of force. One 17-year-old child shared how he and his colleague were heading to school when the Israeli army stormed the camp, shooting from all directions and killing his friend. They had been planning to graduate from school, go to university, and study together, but all of that was shattered. Another 16-year-old child shared how the occupation's raids into the camp have become routine, leaving them afraid to leave their homes.
Khaled Quzmar, DCIP director, has emphasized that the Israeli army's use of excessive force has left Palestinian children with no sense of security and no confidence in the future. The report serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of military action on innocent children and highlights the need for greater protection for children in conflict zones.
