AFRICA LAUNCHES NEW FORUM TO ATTRACT INVESTMENT IN OIL SECTOR
sixteen African countries signed the AFRIPERF Charter on September 18, 2025, during Africa Oil Week in Accra. Led by Nigeria, the African Petroleum Regulators Forum (AFRIPERF) aims to harmonize regulations, boost transparency, and attract investment in the oil and gas sector. The initiative comes amid declining oil investments, delayed projects, and reduced global funding for fossil fuels. With energy poverty still widespread across the continent, AFRIPERF seeks to strengthen cooperation and ensure Africa’s resources support development and energy security.

IEA HIGHLIGHTS RISING OIL AND GAS FIELD DECLINE RATES
The IEA warns that rising oil and gas field decline rates make supply as crucial as demand for the future energy market. Since 2019, most investment has aimed to offset declines, not boost growth. Without continued investment, production could fall sharply. Developing new fields takes time, so understanding decline rates is key. Meeting future demand and climate goals requires sustained investment and strong policies.

CHINA’S COAL OUTPUT DROPS 3% IN AUGUST AS SAFETY CURBS BITE, BUT YEAR-TO-DATE PRODUCTION REMAINS HIGHER.
China’s coal production fell by 3% year-on-year in August to 390.5 million metric tons, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, as Beijing’s nationwide safety inspections and tighter controls on mining capacity weighed on supply. The decline marks a second consecutive month of weaker output after July hit the lowest level in more than a year. Authorities have been enforcing strict safety measures, with some mines temporarily closed in the run-up to China’s early September military parade, underscoring how political sensitivities and regulatory oversight are shaping the energy sector. Still, thanks to a strong first-half ramp-up, overall coal production for the first eight months of 2025 stood at 3.17 billion metric tons — 3% higher than the same period a year earlier. The trend highlights Beijing’s balancing act between ensuring energy security, curbing safety risks, and managing its climate commitments.

GAS PRICES STEADY, BUT DIESEL PRICES EXPECTED TO RISE.
Oil prices are staying stable as increased OPEC production is being balanced by strong global demand. Patrick DeHaan from GasBuddy says prices will likely remain around $60 per barrel. Gasoline prices are expected to drop soon due to higher supply and the switch to cheaper winter fuel blends. However, diesel prices may rise with increased demand during harvest season and colder weather, which boosts heating oil use.
