What executive order did President Trump sign affecting polysilicon imports?

Christine Ramos 0:19

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order placing fifteen percent tariffs on imported polysilicon, a key material used in semiconductors and solar panels, and its derivative products such as inguts, wafers, solar cells, and finished modules. The order also sets a minimum import price for the material and those solar components. The efforts aim to boost domestic polysilicon capacity and block cheap foreign imports. Colombia is racing to find new natural gas reserves, with proved reserves at 1.7 trillion cubic feet, or 5.9 years of production at current rates.

How is Colombia expanding its natural gas reserves and what new discovery was reported?

For years, the South American nation has sought to extend the life of its oil and gas industry, and Petrobras and And EcoPetrol's latest offshore discovery at Sandia One is the newest sign that Colombia could expand its natural gas resource base. Engineering and construction firm McDermott has added another liquefied natural gas production project to its portfolio, although the project, Exxon Mobil Corporation's Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique, remains in an early stage of development.

What are the latest developments in McDermott’s LNG projects, especially the Rovuma project in Mozambique?

Christine Ramos 1:31

A final investment decision is expected later this year, but McDermott and its consortium partners will begin early engineering on the inside battery limits, including the liquefaction units. This latest Mozambique project joins other LNG projects in McDermott's portfolio, notably large projects in North America and another in Mozambique. Drilling contractor Helmeric and Payne Incorporated seized on rising customer demand across the U.S. oil and gas production industry to deliver strong results in its fiscal third quarter, which ended June 30th.
