Oil majors must assess possible broader damage to their
corporate reputations and relationships if they stay
MARCH 4, 2022
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, British energy giant BP announced on February 27 that it will sell its nearly 20% ownership in Russian state-owned energy giant Rosneft. BP’s rival Shell is also pulling out of all of its operations in Russia, as are US energy giant ExxonMobil and Norway’s state-controlled company, Equinor.
These breakups will not be cheap. BP’s stake in Rosneft is worth US$14 billion. In various projects, Shell has about $3 billion in assets in Russia. ExxonMobil has over 1,000 employees and more than $4 billion in assets there. Pulling out will inflict significant financial hits on all of these companies.

LISBON/MADRID, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Spanish and Portugese officials called on Thursday for Europe to cooperate more closely on managing energy supplies after major producer Russia's invasion of Ukraine heightened fears of disruptions.
Unlike many of the countries on the continent, which in total relies on Russia for 40% of its gas, neither country on the Iberian peninsula counts Russia among its main providers.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Thursday that the Portuguese deep-water port of Sines - the closest European port to the United States, "has the infrastructure to host and export natural gas to Europe".
Costa told a news conference this would allow energy imports from the United States and Africa.

Flota de petroleros
Según Statista, la capacidad de la flota mundial de petroleros aumentó significativamente entre 1980 y 2020 en más del 77 %. A pesar de la creciente contribución de las energías renovables al consumo mundial de energía, el mercado mundial sigue dependiendo en gran medida del petróleo. En 2020, la flota mundial de petroleros tenía un peso muerto de aproximadamente 601 millones de toneladas. Los distintos tipos de petroleros se clasifican por tamaño de flota: VLCC, Suezmax y Aframax. A partir de abril de 2020, la flota global incluía 810 petroleros de gran tamaño. Dado que el petróleo es la fuente de energía más utilizada, la creciente demanda de energía está impulsando la extracción y el transporte

The use of wind propulsion in modern commercial shipping covers a wide spectrum – from wind-assisted motor vessels, where auxiliary propulsion is provided by wind to primary wind ships with auxiliary engines, where primary propulsion is from the wind, augmented by engines to ensure just-in-time schedules are maintained .
Motor Vessels – The standard vessels that make up the vast majority of the current world fleet of ocean going vessels. Improvements in efficiency and savings in fuel costs and emissions have been achieved by increasing the size of vessels, improving hull design, increased engine efficiency and other modifications and to a limited extent by the use of renewable energy options for ancillary power. Operational changes have also been made, especially slow steaming, with reductions
