  U.S. Energy Department Re-Launches Voluntary Staff Exit Program
  U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright is reinstating the so-called Deferred Resignation Program (DRP) to incentivize employees to leave voluntarily before layoffs begin as part of the Trump Administration’s push to reduce the federal workforce and bureaucracy. “This... Read more U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright is reinstating the so-called Deferred Resignation Program (DRP) to incentivize employees to leave voluntarily before layoffs begin as part of the Trump Administration’s push to reduce the federal workforce and bureaucracy.
  
  “This is a difficult but necessary effort to make government more efficient and accountable. In conducting any such exercise, it is important to consider how optimization initiatives could impact DOE personnel,” Secretary Wright wrote in a memo to staff obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News.
  
  “Therefore, to mitigate the effect of potential involuntary separations, I am immediately instituting a DOE Deferred Resignation Program (DRP), which allows for employees to take needed time for future planning while continuing to be paid through the designated period,” Secretary Wright added.
  
  Staffers who agree to opt into the program will be placed on administrative leave until the end of the deferred resignation period – which is September 30, 2025, at the latest – and will continue to receive full salary and benefits.
  
  Energy Department employees have until noon on April 8 to reply to the offer for voluntary resignation, according to the memo cited by E&E News.
  
  Some DOE staff who are involved in national security, public safety, and other essential roles may not be eligible to opt in in this program, according to the emails sent to employees.
  
  The federal workforce reductions are part of President Donald Trump’s plan to cut bureaucracy and make federal agencies more efficient. President Trump issued an executive order in February to reduce the size of the Federal Government, which, the President says, “will minimize Government waste and abuse, reduce inflation, and promote American freedom and innovation.”
  
  The Department of Energy is not the only U.S. federal government department to offer voluntary redundancies, according to emails to staff shared with Reuters.
  
  The Department of Agriculture is also offering the Deferred Resignation Program, as well as early retirement to employees who are at least 50 years old with 20 years of federal service, or any age with 25 years of federal service, according to the email Reuters has seen. Source: Oilprice.com

  Russia Expands Halts to Oil Export Capacity in the Black Sea
  Russia has ordered a 90-day halt to one of several berths at the port of Novorossiysk, its key Black Sea oil export route, a day after it ordered the temporary shutdown of two of three moorings at the key export terminal for Kazakhstan’s oil. Transneft,... Read more Russia has ordered a 90-day halt to one of several berths at the port of Novorossiysk, its key Black Sea oil export route, a day after it ordered the temporary shutdown of two of three moorings at the key export terminal for Kazakhstan’s oil.
  
  Transneft, the Russian pipeline monopoly, announced on Wednesday that the ongoing safety checks from Russia’s transportation authority resulted in an order for a 90-day halt to oil loading at berth 8 at the Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP).
  
  Russia’s Federal Agency for Transport Supervision has launched snap inspections at Russian oil ports, which were prompted by the oil spill in the Kerch Strait in December 2024.
  
  “A temporary ban on operations has been imposed on oil loading berth 8. NCSP has been ordered to eliminate all identified violations by June 30, 2025,” Transneft said on Wednesday in a statement carried by Reuters.
  
  The berth is not used regularly or too much, so analysts don’t expect major disruptions to Russian oil and petroleum product exports from this particular order.
  
  None of the 23 oil tankers that loaded Russian crude in March at Novorossiysk used berth 8, according to tanker tracking compiled by Bloomberg. Berth 8 is typically used for the loading of petroleum products, and the facility isn’t used often, the data suggests.
  
  Since February, no vessels have moored at berth 8 for loading, per Bloomberg’s tanker-tracking data. This suggests that any impact on Russian fuel exports would be minimal.
  
  However, the impact from Monday’s order for the suspension of two of three moorings of the main oil export terminal on the Black Sea handling Kazakhstan’s oil exports is expected to be very high.
  
  Russia ordered on Monday that the SPM-1 and SPM-2 moorings of the terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) be shut immediately. The port handles most of Kazakhstan’s crude exports from giant oilfields in Kazakhstan operated by international oil firms, including U.S. supermajor Chevron. Affiliates of Chevron and ExxonMobil are also minority shareholders in CPC, whose biggest shareholder is the Russian Federation with a 24% stake. Source: Oilprice.com

  OPEC+ Energy Ministers to Discuss Production Quota Compliance

In every press release for years, the OPEC+ group... Read more Energy ministers of the OPEC+ producers will discuss in a Thursday call the importance of sticking to the oil production quotas under the deal, delegates from the alliance told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
  
  In every press release for years, the OPEC+ group has been stressing how important sticking to the quotas is. Overproduction has partly negated the bullish effects of the cuts on the oil market.
  
  The alliance is beginning the easing of the cuts this month, adding 138,000 barrels per day (bpd) to combined production.
  
  However, all OPEC+ calculations on production levels depend on producers not exceeding their quotas—which has not been the case, ever.
  
  Some producers, such as OPEC’s second-largest producer, Iraq, and non-OPEC Russia and Kazakhstan, have been failing for years to pump at or below the levels assigned to them under the OPEC+ agreements.
  
  At the meeting in early March, when OPEC+ decided to begin easing the cuts in April, the countries “reiterated their collective commitment to full conformity with the additional voluntary production adjustments,” OPEC said.
  
  In the middle of March, the countries submitted their compensation plans, which showed that Russia plans to fully compensate all overproduction by September 2025, while Iraq, Kazakhstan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will compensate each month until June 2026.
  
  Kazakhstan’s oil production has been the most recent source of contention as the country boosted output to record highs with the start-up of oilfield expansion projects.
  
  A Russian order this week to restrict Kazakhstan’s oil export capacity could lead to foreign operators in Kazakhstan reducing output in the coming weeks if two of the three moorings of the main oil export terminal on the Black Sea handling Kazakhstan’s oil exports remain shut for more than a few days.
  
  Later this week, the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) of the OPEC+ group is set to meet online to review market developments. The alliance will have to decide whether to push forward with further easing of the cuts in May or pause the increase in supply. Reports suggest OPEC+ would raise May production levels, too.

  India Hikes U.S. Crude Oil Imports by 67% in March
  India’s crude oil imports from the United States jumped by 67% in March from a month earlier as Indian refiners scrambled to replace Russian volumes and the U.S. pushed for India and other major trade partners to buy more American energy. India’s U.S.... Read more India’s crude oil imports from the United States jumped by 67% in March from a month earlier as Indian refiners scrambled to replace Russian volumes and the U.S. pushed for India and other major trade partners to buy more American energy.
  
  India’s U.S. crude oil imports thus jumped to about 244,000 barrels per day (bpd) last month, up from 146,000 bpd in February, Indian outlet Economic Times reports, citing data from energy cargo tracking firm Vortexa.
  
  India is now buying more U.S. oil as the country is looking to reduce its huge trade surplus with the United States.
  
  India is even weighing the option to scrap its import tax on American liquefied natural gas to increase U.S. LNG imports and reduce its trade surplus with the United States, sources from Indian industry and government told Reuters last week.
  
  India will aim to buy more American oil and LNG to reduce the surplus and avoid potential tariffs from President Trump, the fast-growing Asian economy said in February.
  
  India is likely to significantly increase its energy purchases from the U.S., India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in February in Washington after a meeting between President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
  
  “I think we purchased about $15 billion in US energy output,” Bloomberg quoted Misri as telling a news conference.
  
  “There is a good chance that this figure will go up as much as $25 billion,” the Indian official added.
  
  While India’s crude oil imports from the U.S. jumped in March, imports of Russian crude also rose by 11% from February to 1.66 million bpd last month, according to the data reported by Economic Times.
  
  Following lower purchases earlier this year in the immediate aftermath of the January U.S. sanctions on Russia’s oil trade, Indian imports of Russian crude rebounded in March. Traders booked more non-sanctioned tankers to deliver crude to India, while the price of Russia’s flagship Urals grade dropped last month to below the $60 per barrel price cap by the G7, allowing shipments involving Western companies.
  
  India will continue to buy Russian oil if it is sold below the $60 per barrel price cap and delivered on non-sanctioned tankers and without any involvement of sanctioned companies or individuals, Indian officials have said. Source: Oilprice.com

  Oil edges higher as market awaits fresh U.S. tariffs
  Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday as market participants braced for U.S. reciprocal tariffs due to be announced at 2000 GMT, which could exacerbate a global trade war and dampen demand for crude.

Read more Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday as market participants braced for U.S. reciprocal tariffs due to be announced at 2000 GMT, which could exacerbate a global trade war and dampen demand for crude.
  Brent futures were up 13 cents, or 0.2%, at $74.62 a barrel by 10:53 a.m. EDT (1453 GMT). U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 31 cents, or 0.4%, to $71.51.
  Investors shrugged off a mostly bearish U.S. government data on crude inventory. U.S. crude inventories posted a surprise large build of about 6.2 million barrels last week, Energy Information Administration data showed. [EIA/S]
  "The report was bearish in my view, with larger crude inventories and total petroleum inventories rising," UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said. "But the market took it as neutral, as the crude build is driven by a sharp increase in Canadian crude imports, likely ahead of the fear of the introduction of new tariffs."
  The White House confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump will impose new tariffs on Wednesday, though it provided no details on their size or scope.
  Trump’s tariff policies could stoke inflation, slow economic growth and escalate trade disputes.
  "Crude prices have paused last month’s rally, with Brent finding some resistance above $75, with the focus for now turning from a sanctions-led reduction in supply to Trump’s tariff announcement and its potential negative impact on growth and demand," said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank.
  Traders will be watching for levies on crude imports, potentially driving up prices of refined products, he added.
  
  For weeks Trump has touted April 2 as "Liberation Day", bringing new duties that could rattle the global trade system.
  The White House announcement is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT).
  "The balance of risk lies to the downside, given that weaker than expected tariff measures are unlikely to drive a significant rally in Brent, while stronger than expected measures could trigger a substantial selloff," BMI analysts said in a note.
  Trump has also threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil, and on Monday he toughened sanctions on Iran as part of his administration’s "maximum pressure" campaign to cut its exports.
  
  Adding to the complex global supply picture, Russia, the world’s second-largest oil exporter, on Wednesday imposed restrictions on another major oil export route, suspending a mooring at the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk a day after restricting loadings from a key Caspian pipeline.
  Russia produces about 9 million barrels of oil a day, or just under a 10th of global production. Its ports also ship oil from neighbouring Kazakhstan. Source: Reuters/Investing.com
