Phillips 66 is acquiring assets from the closed Lindsey oil refinery in the UK, opting to integrate storage and infrastructure into its Humber operations rather than restart refining at the site.

German and Dutch gas operators have agreed to explore converting existing pipelines for cross-border hydrogen transport, laying early groundwork for future hydrogen links between the Netherlands, Germany and neighboring markets.

Saipem has secured a $425 million offshore contract to install 153 km (95 miles) of subsea pipelines for Turkey’s Sakarya gas field, expanding midstream infrastructure tied to the Goktepe discovery in the Black Sea.

Russia’s pipeline gas flows to Europe collapsed in 2025 after Ukraine transit ended, leaving TurkStream as the sole remaining route amid the EU’s phaseout of Russian energy.

Woodside has signed a long-term LNG supply agreement with Turkey’s BOTAŞ, securing up to nine years of deliveries beginning in 2030 from its Louisiana LNG project and global portfolio.

SOCAR has agreed to acquire an 870-MW natural gas-fired power plant in central Turkey from Gama Enerji for $225 million, expanding its downstream and gas-to-power footprint in a key transit market for Azeri oil and gas exports to Europe.

A new analysis warns Europe’s gas pipeline operators may be underreporting emissions by excluding the climate impact of gas they transport, raising questions about transparency, investor risk and long-term viability.

Croatia’s JANAF is nearing a new oil transport agreement with MOL that could sharply increase pipeline volumes, marking a potential shift in regional crude flows as Central Europe looks beyond Russian supply.

Kazakhstan’s state pipeline operator Kaztransoil plans to open its first EU office in Poland as it works to stabilize crude oil exports to Germany via existing cross-border pipeline routes.

The European Parliament approved legislation to phase out Russian pipeline gas by 2027 and LNG by 2026, marking a major shift in Europe’s gas supply strategy amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Flowserve has acquired U.K.-based Greenray Turbine Solutions for approximately $72 million, expanding its aftermarket services for industrial gas turbines and strengthening lifecycle support for mission-critical rotating equipment used in power generation and energy infrastructure.

Chevron has signed a five-year liquefied natural gas supply agreement with Hungary’s state-owned MVM Group, providing up to 2 Bcm of LNG as the country works to diversify gas imports amid the European Union’s planned phaseout of Russian supply.

Penspen has begun a new NIA-funded study with National Gas Transmission to evaluate whether oxygen can inhibit hydrogen embrittlement in repurposed pipeline infrastructure—critical research as the UK develops a 1,500-mile hydrogen transmission network.

Greene Tweed has achieved a breakthrough in hydrogen compression, developing a composite impeller that reached a record tip speed of 2,258 ft/s (688 m/s) — nearly twice that of traditional metal impellers. The technology could significantly cut costs and boost efficiency for hydrogen pipeline systems.

The “Flow – making hydrogen happen” project connects the Baltic Sea to Saxony-Anhalt and sets the foundation for cross-border hydrogen trade across Europe.
