• China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., the state-owned energy giant known as Sinopec, is making a bigger push into a renewable energy generated by heat within the earth as the country looks to diversify its sources of green energy.
• Sinopec’s push could serve as a catalyst for fast-tracking the exploration and use of geothermal energy, and spur the development of related technologies in the country, experts said.
• The company said on social media on Sept. 14 that it was expecting a “major development” in its geothermal heating segment and that it was on track to expand its service to more than 60 cities in over 10 regions in China by the end of the year.

• The return of higher crude oil prices could result in Texas Pacific Land (TPL) reporting higher than expected revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2023
• TPL does not hedge its exposure to energy prices, which would have an outsize benefit when prices move higher like they have in the third quarter
• Crude oil production has been rising even though total rig count has also declined from levels reached earlier in the year

• Celanese Corporation’s results were a major disappointment as it failed to meet the revenue expectations as well as earnings expectations of Wall Street.
