Rise in energy production in Iran.
World energy production rebounded in 2017 (2.4%), above its historical trend
China was the main contributor to the increase in global energy production, as its coal output grew for the first time after three years of reduction.
Higher global energy prices spurred oil and gas production in the United States, after the 2016 drop.
Energy production continued to decline in the European Union, owing to the moderate growth in energy consumption, lower primary electricity production (nuclear and hydro) the depletion of oil and gas resources and the climate policy that eventually implies the exit of coal.
Large oil and gas exporting countries (Russia, Iran after the end of international sanctions, Canada or Nigeria to a lesser extent) as well as the fast-developing countries (India, Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil) have been the main contributors to the energy production increase in 2017. Conversely, Saudi Arabia's energy production was affected by the OPEC production cut agreement.

Eastern Mediterranean countries aim at establishing a regional gas market
Several Eastern Mediterranean governments - Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan and Palestine - have agreed to establish the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, a regional gas market that would optimise the resource development of its members, rationalise the cost of the transportation infrastructure, offer competitive trade prices and improve mutual trade relations. Other countries may join the forum later and the institution will be also open to monitoring by international and regional organisations.
