In the volatile, high-stakes world of international oil and gas, information is power. But in an era flooded with data, true power comes from insight born of experience. I believe that understanding the market requires more than just glancing at a ticker; it demands deciphering the geopolitical undercurrents, anticipating the strategic maneuvers of key players, and recognizing the subtle whispers that shape tomorrow’s headlines.
I started COUNTER INTELLIGENCE to cut through the noise. My mission is clear: to be your indispensable source for cutting-edge market intelligence, delivered with the precision and foresight that only decades in the trenches can provide. I understand that as industry professionals, buyers, sellers, and traders of oil and gas and petroleum products, you need more than just raw data – you need the “why” and the “what’s next.”
This is why my content operates on a unique principle: approximately 10% carefully selected, directional data to anchor my analysis, and a formidable 90% dedicated to insightful “chatter” – the strategic analysis, the market sentiment, the geopolitical implications, and the unfolding narratives that truly drive the industry.
Forget generic market reports. At COUNTER INTELLEIGENCE, I delve deep into:
The strategic chess game being played behind crude oil production and pricing.
The hidden vulnerabilities and opportunities within the refined products sector, with a keen focus on DIESEL EN590 and JET A1.
The geopolitical flashpoints and economic indicators that ripple through global energy markets.
The unseen forces that shape supply chains, demand patterns, and market psychology.
My aim is to make complex market dynamics not just understandable, but genuinely hard to stop reading, providing you with the foresight to make informed decisions and stay ahead of the curve.
My journey in the oil and gas industry began decades ago, directly in the Texas oil fields. From those foundational experiences, I worked my way up, gaining a unique, boots-on-the-ground understanding of every aspect of the energy chain. My career then led me across continents, where I’ve had the privilege of working and living around the world – from the vibrant energy landscapes of Mexico to the challenging terrains of Africa, and the intricate political-economic dynamics of the Middle East.
These diverse, global experiences have given me a panoramic view of the industry, revealing the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate events.
