Gulf Coast-to-West Coast waterborne crude shipments more than quadruple after ship waiver https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-gulf-coast-to-west-coast-waterborne-crude https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-gulf-coast-to-west-coast-waterborne-crude 2026-09-17T04:42:20+00:00 BriefPulse Energy Waterborne shipments of crude oil and petroleum products from the U.S. Gulf Coast to the West Coast more than quadrupled year-on-year in April and May, after a waiver allowed a broader group of ships to move between U.S. ports. The source does not state the year, the volumes involved or how large the parallel rise to the East Coast was. Permian operators are drilling longer wells to lift oil and gas output https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-permian-operators-drilling-longer-wells https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-permian-operators-drilling-longer-wells 2026-09-17T04:42:11+00:00 BriefPulse Energy The US Energy Information Administration reports that Permian operators are extracting more oil and gas by drilling longer horizontal wells, including 'super-lateral' wells exceeding 15,000 feet. The evidence offered is directional: the page describes the practice but does not quantify the production gain. Gasoline crack spread in New York Harbor runs about $1/gal above 2025 levels on tight global supply https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-gasoline-crack-spread-york-harbor https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-gasoline-crack-spread-york-harbor 2026-09-17T04:10:43+00:00 BriefPulse Energy Elevated crack spreads and crude oil prices are contributing to higher prices at the pump. Since May, the New York Harbor gasoline crack spread has averaged about $1 per gallon higher than in 2025, when it peaked around 60 cents per gallon. UK solar generation sets a summer record in 2026, Carbon Brief analysis says https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-solar-generation-sets-summer-record https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-solar-generation-sets-summer-record 2026-09-17T04:10:26+00:00 BriefPulse Energy UK solar power generation reached a new record over the summer of 2026, according to a Carbon Brief analysis. The evidence available here is a headline and a truncated summary, so the scale, duration and system impact of the record are not yet established. Clean energy tax credit supply swells, shifting leverage to corporate buyers https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-clean-energy-tax-credit-supply https://news.briefpulse.com/publications/energy/stories/energy-clean-energy-tax-credit-supply 2026-09-17T01:56:46+00:00 BriefPulse Energy More clean energy tax credits are reaching the market, and a report says pricing is splitting by type: credits tied to electricity production are holding value, while credits based on construction cost are under pressure as buyers weigh uncertainty over new federal rules.
