A Republican senator has proposed repealing Californias vehicle emissions regulations.U.S. EIA natural gas storage for the week ending July 31 was 33 billion cubic feet, compared with an expected 30 billion cubic feet and a previous reading of 28 billion cubic feet.The U.S. EIA natural gas storage data for the week ending July 31 will be released in ten minutes.On August 6th, Tesla (TSLA.O) announced that earlier this year, SpaceX and Tesla launched Project Terafab—the worlds largest chip manufacturing initiative, integrating logic chips, memory chips, and advanced packaging technologies within a single facility. In April, Tesla broke ground on its new R&D wafer fab at its Texas Gigafactory North Campus, the precursor to Terafab. Today, we are officially announcing that Terafab will be located in Grimes County, Texas. This facility will be an advanced semiconductor wafer fab designed to bridge the huge gap between current global chip supply capacity and future computing demands. SpaceX and Teslas combined chip demand is projected to exceed 1 terawatt (TW) of computing power, a scale far exceeding current global supply capacity. We are highly grateful to existing chip suppliers and encourage them to expand capacity where possible, but the widening gap between future supply and demand is the core reason for the existence of Project Terafab. Terafab aims to manufacture new computing power at an unprecedented scale and speed. The project plans to build a vertically integrated factory with a manufacturing area exceeding 100 million square feet. The facility will encompass the manufacturing, packaging, and testing of advanced logic and memory chips. Centralizing these processes in one location will facilitate rapid iterative improvements and accelerate the deployment of new computing capabilities.Tesla (TSLA.O): TeraFab aims to produce more than 1 terawatt of computing power per year.

News Lifts Oil The EU May Cut Off Russian Oil Imports

In April, both contracts posted their first weekly gain. Prices have been the most volatile in recent weeks since June 2020.


According to the New York Times, the European Union is considering a phased-in embargo on Russian oil to provide Germany and other nations time to secure alternative supply.


A phased-in prohibition would compel European purchasers "to seek alternate sources, some of which are being provided in the short term via Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases, but in the future, more supplies from the ground would be necessary," Lipow Oil Associates' Andrew Lipow said in Houston.


The International Energy Agency warned on Wednesday that around 3 million barrels per day of Russian oil might be shut down starting in May as a result of sanctions or importers intentionally avoiding Russian supplies.


According to Reuters, major global trading houses aim to reduce their imports of crude and gasoline from Russia's state-controlled oil corporations in May.


Russia's Energy Ministry said that access to its data on oil and gas production and exports will be restricted.


Trade will remain "a little anxious" while the conflict between Russia and Ukraine raged on and nations considered banning Russian imports, Price Futures Group analyst Phil Flynn said.


"The key issue will be how many individuals want to be oil short heading into the long weekend."


Traders also changed their positions on Thursday, when May crude oil options in the United States expire.


According to industry analysts, US oil production predictions are being revised upward despite labor and supply chain restrictions, as higher prices stimulate additional drilling and well completion activities.


US oil rigs increased by two to 548 this week, the highest level since April 2020, according to energy services company Baker Hughes.


The US Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday that the United States' oil reserves increased by more than 9 million barrels last week, owing in part to strategic reserve releases. According to a Reuters survey, analysts expected just an 863,000-barrel gain.


On the demand side, Chinese refiners are set to reduce crude throughput by about 6% this month, a level last seen in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago, industry sources and analysts said. The move is intended to relieve pressure on bulging fuel inventories following recent lockdowns.
