A ustralia is considering curbing exports of gas as it battles energy shortages, in a fresh threat to rising energy prices. Its Government is exploring limited restrictions after its consumer watchdog warned that extra gas was needed to offset falling output at its own offshore fields. The forecast deficit is small, but risks adding to pressure on global prices given the shortages in the global market worsened by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Australia is one of the world’s three largest exporters of liquified natural gas (LNG), alongside Qatar and the US, exporting roughly 100 shipments per month so far this year. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found that its LNG exporters were likely to withdraw more gas from the domestic market than they would supply, predicting a shortfall in eastern Australia equivalent to about 14 LNG shipments.

If BP was a cash machine last year, in the words of tin-eared boss Bernard Looney, then what on earth is it now? A money fountain might be a better description, after the oil giant posted its highest profits in nearly a decade and a half. Unfortunately however, the company is largely only spraying cash in the direction of shareholders. Not for the first time, this isn’t a great look. In fact, it’s a terrible one. On the same day that experts warn of yet further crippling bill rises for struggling families , BP has posted its second largest-ever profits , on the back of strong refining margins, “exceptional” oil trading and higher energy prices – $8.4bn [£6.8bn] in the last three months alone, eclipsing the $6.2bn it generated in the first financial quarter of the year.
