Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, energy infrastructure projects are proceeding. SLB's OneSubsea JV secured a major contract from ExxonMobil for the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique, while Fluor secured a $7.5 billion share of the LNG Canada Phase 2 expansion. These wins highlight the continued global demand for LNG capacity and subsea infrastructure, benefiting energy service companies even as diesel prices remain elevated due to prior supply disruptions. The US is concluding its 20-year deployment in Iraq, marking a significant strategic withdrawal. Concurrently, reports indicate China is reducing support for Iran under US pressure, while Hormuz traffic has resumed, providing some relief to oil markets. These developments suggest a complex geopolitical realignment that may reduce immediate war risks but introduces new uncertainties regarding regional stability and energy supply chains.
