After a six-month test, the bulk carrier 'Pyxis Ocean,' equipped with large rigid sails, has proven the potential of wind power to reduce carbon emissions in the shipping industry. The vessel, with two foldable rigid sails measuring up to 37.5 meters on the deck, has reduced fuel consumption by 3 tons a day since August 2023 during its journeys across the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. This reduction equals 11.2 tons of CO2 emissions daily, approximately equivalent to the annual emissions of 480 cars. The leasing company, Cargill, views wind energy as a key for transitioning to clean energy, emphasizing that retrofitting old ships like 'Pyxis Ocean' demonstrates significant potential.

A survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas indicates that if the ongoing corporate acquisition trend in the shale sector continues, US oil production is likely to decrease. Over 50% of oil executives predict lower domestic crude output due to consolidation among E&P firms, leading to reduced investment in exploration. This trend has resulted in decreased activity in the oil patch, with about 48% expecting slightly lower output and 6% foreseeing significantly lower production. Shale explorers' recent wave of acquisitions, totaling $250 billion, raises concerns about potential supply impacts that could affect the oil market's dynamics.
