Blackstone To Invest $25 Billion In Co-Located Data Centers, Gas Plants In Pennsylvania(Reuters) â Blackstone plans to invest $25 billion in developing data centers and power plants in Pennsylvania, President and Chief Operating Officer Jon Gray said at a panel at the Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh on July 15.
Blackstone had identified several sites to build the energy-intensive centers, Gray said, adding that the private equity firm also plans to partner with an electric utility to build multiple natural gas power generation facilities to fuel the data centers in Pennsylvania.
Big Tech is fueling a turnaround in U.S. power consumption with the expansion of data centers, which are needed to train and roll out artificial intelligence.
One of the biggest roadblocks in the race to expand artificial intelligence technologies are the long wait times, caused by supply chain constraints and permitting, to power data centers. Locating data centers directly at the sites of power plants, an arrangement known as co-location, can potentially cut down time to power.
Blackstone plans to focus on co-located projects in Pennsylvania, Gray said.
"What makes us so excited about this area is the idea that you can co locate data centers directly next to the source of power and that's really the special sauce here is being able to put these things together," Gray said.

Adnoc Gas Signs $400M Lng Deal With GermanyâS SefeAdnoc Gas has signed an agreement with Germanyâs Securing Energy For Europe (Sefe) to supply liquefied natural gas for three years.
The UAEâs state-owned oil and gas company will sell more than 700,000 metric tonnes of LNG from its Das Island liquefaction facility valued at $400 million, with deliveries due to start this summer, Adnoc Gas said in a statement.
The Das Islandâs LNG plant has a production capacity of 6 million tonnes per year. More than 3,500 cargoes have been shipped worldwide since operations began in 1977.
âThis new medium-term LNG contract builds on the long-term supply agreement with Adnoc that we signed last year, thereby adding another flexible source of LNG to our portfolio,â said Frederic Barnaud, chief commercial officer of Sefe.
The agreement allows Sefe to decide on delivery destinations at its discretion, the statement said.
Adnoc already has ties with Germany. It has been in talks since last year to buy chemicals company Covestro, with approval by the EU expected to be ratified soon.
And in May last year it signed a 15-year LNG supply agreement with energy major Energie Baden-WĂŒrttemberg AG.
In April Reuters reported that Chinaâs ENN Natural Gas and state-run Zhenhua Oil have each signed deals to buy LNG from Adnoc.

Dangote Refinery To Build 1.6 Million-Barrel Fuel Storage Facility In NamibiaNigeriaâs Dangote Refinery will construct fuel storage tanks in Namibia with a total capacity of at least 1.6 million barrels to supply petrol and diesel to Southern African countries.
The tanks will be located in the port city of Walvis Bay and will serve Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The facility may also supply the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The initiative is part of Dangoteâs wider strategy to expand market access for fuel refined at its 650,000-barrel-per-day plant in Nigeria. Commissioned last year at a cost of $20 billion, the refinery has started supplying Nigeriaâs domestic market and is gradually targeting new export destinations. Last month, a Dangote petroleum cargo reportedly left Nigeria for Asia, marking the refineryâs first known shipment outside West Africa. At full capacity, the refinery is expected to meet domestic demand and export surplus volumes.

NigeriaâS Oil Rig Count Climbs To 46, Backed By $8B In InvestmentNigerian regulation department the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has announced the countryâs active number of oil rigs has increased to 46.
Up from eight in 2021, the increase follows over $8 billion in investments by oil producers between 2022 and 2025, resulting in the drilling of 236 wellbores.
Gbenga Kamolafe, Commission Chief Executive, NUPRC attributed the rise to the 2021 Petroleum Industry Act, the Project One Million Barrels initiative launched in 2024 and Executive Orders 40, 41 and 42 issued in 2024. According to Kamolafe, these reforms have boosted investor confidence, attracted capital and enabled regulatory efficiencies.
Nigeriaâs oil production now averages over 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd), rising from 1 million bpd in 2021.
Kamolafe added that rigs are now active across all terrains â land, swamp and offshore â including deepwater fields.
The NUPRC emphasized that increased rig activity is a key metric of industry health, with sustained momentum driving progress toward the countryâs 2.6-2.8 million bpd production target by 2026.
Nigeriaâs rig count is expected to approach 50 by the end of 2025.

208-Mi Mississippi-To-Alabama (U.S.) Gas Pipeline Moves Into Ferc ReviewKinder Morganâs Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC (TGP) has filed a formal application with federal regulators to build the Mississippi Crossing Project (MSX), a $1.7-B natural gas pipeline expansion designed to deliver 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bft3d) of firm transportation capacity across Mississippi and Alabama.
The project includes 208 mi of new pipe â the centerpiece being a 199-mi, 42- and 36-in. mainline stretching from Greenville, Mississippi, to Butler, Alabama. Additional infrastructure includes three new compressor stations, multiple interconnects, and four metering facilities.
TGP submitted its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on June 30, 2025, officially moving the project into the federal review phase. The filing followed the May 31 submission of all required environmental resource reports, which included consultations with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders.
The project is backed by strong market demand, with more than 90% of its capacity under long-term precedent agreements. Customers include major Southeast utilities and power generators such as Southern Company Services, Dominion Energy South Carolina, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia. TGP affiliate Southern Natural Gas Company has secured 1.17 Bft3d of capacity to serve downstream users.
TGP is requesting FERC approval by July 1, 2026, with construction scheduled to begin in January 2027 and the pipeline expected to enter service by November 2028.
An independent market analysis submitted with the application projects that natural gas demand in Mississippi and Alabama will grow by 8% by 2030, driven by coal retirements, increased electricity generation and industrial activity. Current infrastructure in the region is operating near peak capacity.
In addition to enhancing energy reliability, the project is expected to provide a significant economic boost. TGP estimates it will support 4,760 to 9,820 average annual jobs across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia during construction, generating between $950 MM and $2.4 B in regional economic output.
To help reduce environmental and community impacts, approximately 28% of the proposed route will parallel existing infrastructure corridors, and several segments will be installed using horizontal directional drilling.

Venezuela'S Pdvsa Reports $17.5 Billion In 2024 Oil Revenue As Exports Jump(Reuters) â Venezuelan state-run PDVSA's oil sales abroad in 2024 stood at $17.52 billion, according to a results document seen by Reuters on Friday, as exports jumped due to U.S. licenses allowing foreign partners to operate in the sanctioned OPEC member.
There are no comparative figures from previous years because PDVSA has not published its results since 2016, and it did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Venezuela has some of the world's largest reserves of oil, but its crude output remains at a fraction of what it was a decade ago after a lack of investment, mismanagement at PDVSA and U.S. sanctions on Venezuela's energy industry since 2019.
The licenses to U.S. oil major Chevron and other foreign firms in Venezuela have allowed a slight recovery in oil output and exports since 2023.
In late May, however, Washington revoked those licenses to take Venezuelan crude bound for U.S. and European refineries.
PDVSA's crude oil and fuel exports averaged 805,500 barrels per day (bpd) last year, according to preliminary data from its 2024 financial and operational results.
That would be an over 15% hike from almost 700,000 bpd in 2023, according to data and documents viewed by Reuters.
According to PDVSA's results, the OPEC member produced an average of 952,000 bpd in 2024, compared with 783,000 bpd in 2023 reported by OPEC.
President Nicolas Maduro and his government have always rejected sanctions by the United States and others, saying they are illegitimate measures that amount to an "economic war" designed to cripple Venezuela.
Maduro and his allies have cheered what they say is the country's resilience despite the measures, though they have historically blamed some economic hardships and shortages on sanctions.
Crude production was above 1 million bpd in the first quarter of 2025, according to the results documents, and authorities have said that exports continue to perform normally.
In June, crude and fuel exports were 844,000 bpd, and were directed to China, according to shipping data and documents.
