Amidst the global energy market turbulence, the U.S. faces significant shifts in its energy prices and energy complex. Adding to the concerns, the Biden administration's decision to offer zero oil and gas lease sales in 2024, influenced by the U.S. wind power industry, is set to further strain the supply-demand balance. The spotlight is on the rising fuel prices, and the factors contributing to this surge are more intricate than they appear. On the latest episode of Gasonomics, host Tim Snyder, Chief Economist at Matador Economics, highlights the rise of energy prices and the declining inventory of the U.S. strategic petroleum reserves for crude oil.

Disconnected data can delay recognizing fuel-quality issues, Titan Cloud says

Disconnected data can delay recognizing fuel-quality issues, Titan Cloud says

This article draws on a Titan Cloud presentation. Its operational examples and product claims reflect the vendor’s account and should not be read as findings from a representative industry survey. Titan Cloud describes a scenario in which disconnected tank, delivery and maintenance records delay recognition of a fuel-quality problem until a customer reports it. The presentation argues that connecting those records can help operators investigate earlier and reduce operational disruption.

  • 01Disconnected data can delay fuel-quality alerts, Titan Cloud says.
  • 02The linked client video is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Buyers can ask for demonstrations using their own asset categories and request examples of how discrepancies are identified, investigated, and followed through to resolution.

Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites

Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites

This article draws on a Titan Cloud presentation. Its operational examples and product claims reflect the vendor’s account and should not be read as findings from a representative industry survey. Michael Lewis, identified in the presentation as leading Titan Cloud’s international solutions consultancy team, describes coordinated fuel-theft scenarios involving multiple sites. His examples include dispenser manipulation, delivery losses and product adulteration. The scale described is the speaker’s account, not a measured industry-wide rate.

  • 01Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites.
  • 02The Titan Cloud presentation is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Titan Cloud’s presenters argue that detecting coordinated theft and slow leaks requires cleaner data (including addressing gauge/calibration noise), more frequent reconciliation, and looking for patterns across the network rather than ranking sites by raw loss volume.

Titan Cloud says disconnected repair records obscure charger status

Titan Cloud says disconnected repair records obscure charger status

Titan Cloud reports that CPOs it spoke with at Intercharge want better connections between charger monitoring, ticketing and field repairs. Its conference observations are a vendor perspective, not an industry-wide survey.

  • 01Titan Cloud argues that connecting fault reports with contractor activity and repair outcomes can help operators track whether a charger has returned to service, with the stated aim of improving network operations.
  • 02The linked client video is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Operators can request evidence and test the proposed workflow against their own network’s needs before adopting it.
