Oil Profits Are Flowing—But Methane from Abandoned Wells Is Becoming a Cash Machine: Shell, Zefiro Methane, and Occidental Petroleum
When fighting flared up in the Middle East, oil prices surged sharply. The industry is enjoying windfall profits. But behind the boom lies a creeping risk: millions of abandoned wells leaking methane unchecked—a gas that warms the planet far more intensely than CO₂. While oil majors benefit from high prices, a massive opportunity is emerging for service providers that specialize in dealing with these orphan wells. Three players with different strategies are aiming to capitalize on the current environment: Shell, Zefiro Methane, and Occidental Petroleum.

The Pentagon, AI Giants, and Fusion Researchers All Need One Material – Demand Is Rising, and Almonty Industries Is Delivering
Artificial intelligence devours chips, nuclear fusion consumes extreme heat, and the semiconductor industry is grappling with physical limits. All three fields of the future have one thing in common: they require tungsten. The metal, known for its exceptional hardness and heat resistance, is used in semiconductor interconnects, high-performance electronics, and withstands the stresses of fusion reactors. Yet China controls around 83% of global supply and is restricting exports. This is precisely where an opportunity is emerging for Western producers. Industry experts warn that the metal is virtually irreplaceable. Almonty Industries has already set the course and is ramping up operations at the largest tungsten mine outside of China, located in South Korea. This is helping establish a backbone for Western supply.

At the Heart of Industrial Transformation: HPQ Silicon, Plug Power, and Evonik
Industry increasingly requires advanced materials for the energy and mobility transitions. Both megatrends depend on highly specialized inputs—whether for more powerful batteries, more efficient energy storage, or scalable hydrogen infrastructure. Established chemical companies like Evonik Industries contribute to this development through the production of materials such as pyrogenic silica, which supports thermal stability and performance in modern battery systems. At the same time, hydrogen pioneers like Plug Power are building comprehensive ecosystem solutions. The younger company HPQ Silicon fits into this picture with innovative processes for the low-emission production of nanomaterials and silicon anodes. Through its collaboration with Novacium, HPQ recently reported a milestone: prototype GEN4 battery cells with capacities exceeding 7,000 mAh, significantly outperforming conventional industrial cells. At the same time, the on-demand hydrogen production technology developed by HPQ offers a decentralized alternative to electrolysis infrastructure, such as that offered by Plug Power. Investors should take note: HPQ Silicon is positioning itself at the intersection of specialty chemicals and emerging hydrogen-related applications.

Lahontan Gold: On the Way to Nevada's Next Gold Mine
The US state of Nevada is one of the world's largest gold producers. It is home to several world-class gold mines, with Newmont and Barrick Mining dominating the scene through the Nevada Gold Mines complex. Lahontan Gold is on track to build the next mine in the famous Walker-Lane trend. The Canadians are aiming for an annual production of up to 80,000 ounces of gold. Given the company's low valuation, this presents an entry opportunity for investors with a medium- to long-term focus.

Tungsten Alert: China Becomes an Importer and Almonty Shares Soar to All-Time High
Alert in the tungsten market! As demand rises for this metal, which is critical not only for defense and semiconductors, China is now becoming an importer as well. Yet China is already by far the largest producer. This is likely to pose even greater challenges for Western corporations. News from Japan and Korea points in this direction. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. With operational tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, and soon in the US as well, it is arguably the only major producer in the West. Analysts expect revenue and profits to surge. The stock is trading at an all-time high, but based on analysts' earnings expectations for 2027, it still does not appear to be overvalued. The chances of the rally continuing are good.

USD 4.7 billion for 150,000 Abandoned Oil Wells – A Billion-Dollar Market Emerges: Zefiro Methane, Halliburton, and JPMorgan in focus
Cleaning up the legacy of the US oil industry has evolved into a distinct economic sector, driven by government subsidy programs worth billions and the rapidly growing trade in emissions credits. According to analyses by the International Energy Agency (IEA), abandoned wells emit significant amounts of methane—a greenhouse gas that is around 80 times more harmful than CO₂ over a 20-year period. In the US, methane leakage from legacy oil infrastructure can pose environmental and safety risks, including groundwater contamination and localized gas buildup. To address this issue, the US government is allocating nearly USD 4.7 billion through the Infrastructure Act to plug and remediate approximately 150,000 so-called orphan wells. The consulting firm McKinsey estimates that demand for permanent CO₂ removal credits could grow to as much as 100 million tons by 2030. We take a closer look at this emerging sector and highlight a particularly interesting opportunity for investors.
