Effective Economic Strategies for Egypt’s Energy Sector

Egypt is waiting for creative solutions and legislation in the energy field to overcome the current economic crisis.
Developing countries, including Egypt, consider their traditional energy resources, such as oil and natural gas, to be among the most important sources of development. They help support emerging economies, whether through the direct use of energy sources in production processes and achieving economic value that contribute to the national economy within the state or exporting. Manufacturing oil and gas to obtain final products from crude oil and natural gas and exporting these products is one of the important ways to enhance the economic value of oil and gas and increase the targeted economic return.

The Global Energy Crisis: A Game of Policies and Interests in The Middle East

It was not expected that Russia would have the courage to take harsh measures against European countries that oppose its war against Ukraine, especially concerning energy supplies from crude oil and natural gas, as the Russian economy has recently become highly dependent on oil and gas sales. But it seems that the US and Western sanctions against Russia have prompted Russia to take these harsh decisions, which will negatively affect the economies of European countries and the US, as well as the Russian economy.

Surviving Global Challenges: The Future Outlook for Oil & Gas Policies

In November, world leaders will have a two-week dialogue in Egypt’s most scenic Read Sea coastal resort city of Sharm Elsheikh, as the world’s top climate gathering known as the United Nations’ Conference of the Parties (COP) will come to Egypt. After a vague outcome of last year’s COP-26 in Glasgow, global observers are counting on this year’s COP 27 to yield game-changing outcomes that would help in saving the planet by reducing Earth’s temperature by two degrees Celsius.

Economic Downturn Casts Shadow on Global Energy Industry’s Future

Countries that have made a huge economic and scientific leap would not have taken a step towards prosperity and economic growth without legislation and laws that advance the wheel of development and preserve natural and human resources. Since the natural and political conditions change dramatically, quickly, and perhaps complicated from time to time, it was necessary to provide the needed flexibility for these legislations and laws in order to be suitable or compatible with the highly complicated global changes that occur and lead to negative economic effects on most people worldwide.

Towards Meeting the Energy Needs of An Unstable World

International energy law has been legislated as an essential legal discipline since 1970 and during the last fifty years has undergone a remarkable expansion and transition, which is still ongoing. International energy law is a part of the quick expansion of international law in general that also witnessed the creation of other new areas such as environmental law, international trade law, human rights law, the law of the seas and international energy law. The new areas of international law represent a form of multi-level governance by adopting standards for national legislation and a framework for international trade and trans-border cooperation related to energy services.

How The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict Reveals the Vulnerability of Global Energy Systems

There is no doubt that the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine has created shockwaves in global energy markets. Russia, being one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, is Europe’s key natural gas supplier exporting its supplies through several gas pipelines. One of the main pipelines passes through Ukraine, which means that supplying gas to Europe has proven to be risky and dangerous under the current war conditions.

Green Energy: A Reliable Alternative to Our Energy Needs?

The use of traditional energy sources awaits new restrictions through environmental legislation to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change.

Why Green Hydrogen?

There is no doubt that the world is moving towards renewable energy that does not negatively impact the environment and humans, which makes the move forward occur with utmost enthusiasm and speed. It is worth mentioning that the production of green hydrogen has succeeded in many countries around the world for its many advantages.

Petroleum Exporting and Importing Policies & Regulations

Ever since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was established, there has been a conflict between the producers and consumers related to oil barrel prices and their effect on the global economic growth rate worldwide. As a result, several legislations and rules have been set up to regulate the mechanism of oil barrel prices and create a good tool for oil barrel pricing based on mutual interests shared by both exporting and importing countries. There were times when regulations were not fair for exporters, such as in the 1990s.

Working By the Book: Environmental Regulations for The Oil & Gas Industry

The industrial development and societal practices of the 20th century have undoubtedly had a disturbing impact on the environment of planet Earth. The wasteful use of natural resources, lack of energy sources development, and improper disposal of energy by-products poses an adverse impact on the entire ecosystem and human health. The causes may be diverse and numerous, but the problems created by the production and consumption of fossil fuels in general and petroleum in particular, represent some of the greatest concerns shared by the entire international community.
