EnergyRiskIQ’s Indices:
GERI (Global Energy Risk Index): 10/100
LOWHIGH
GERI: 10
LOW
– GERI rose to 10 due to increased drone strike activity targeting UAE oil infrastructure, raising global supply concerns.
EERI (European Energy Risk Index):
LOWHIGH
EERI: 17
17 (-1)
– EERI dipped slightly to 17 as European gas demand eased amid mild weather, partially offsetting storage shortfall worries.
EGSI-M (Energy Geopolitical Stress Index – Middle East: 6.3)
– Low EGSI-M at 6.3 reflects limited recent escalation in Middle East tensions despite ongoing drone strike reports.
– Stable EGSI-M helps moderate risk premiums on gas supply, but continued regional risks keep EU storage concerns elevated.
EU Gas Storage Levels: 64.40% full
• EU gas storage at 64.4% is well below the 82% norm, signaling moderate risk for winter supply tightness.
📋 Custom Watchlist
5 active risk vectors being monitored
✓
Middle East Oil Infrastructure
Monitor drone strike frequency and damage reports on UAE and Fujairah export facilities.
✓
Strait of Hormuz Traffic
Vessel movements, tanker attack reports, and real-time chokepoint disruption signals.
✓
Ukraine Power Grid Attacks
Frequency and scale of outages affecting European energy transmission and supply.
✓
Helium Supply Chains
Semiconductor industry alerts on helium shortages, production cuts and price spikes.
✓
European Gas Storage
Weekly storage fill rates vs seasonal norms. Key indicator for winter supply cushion.
So we have mixed price action, but a persistently tense risk regime and tight storage. What to watch?

Risk Intelligence Interpretation
EnergyRiskIQ Daily Assessment

The Global Energy Risk Index (GERI) increased by 5 points to 10, driven by heightened drone strikes on UAE oil facilities, pushing Brent crude to $88.10/bbl amid supply concerns. Meanwhile, the European Energy Risk Index (EERI) fell by 1 point to 17 as mild weather eased gas demand, reflected in TTF prices at €66.63/MWh. The Middle East Geopolitical Stress Index (EGSI-M) remains low at 6.3, indicating limited escalation, which tempers risk despite ongoing threats. EU gas storage stands at 64.4%, significantly below the 82% seasonal norm, suggesting moderate supply risk heading into winter. The VIX at 14.43 and LNG JKM at $23.17/MMBtu highlight continued market volatility and tight Asian demand, underscoring a cautious outlook for energy security this season.

Indices powered by EnergyRiskIQ's proprietary GERI, EERI and EGSI methodology. Data as of 2026-08-29.
Data Sources & Methodology: Index values (GERI, EERI, EGSI-M) are proprietary EnergyRiskIQ calculations updated daily from live alert pipelines. Commodity prices sourced from OilPrice API (Brent, WTI, US Natural Gas) and market data providers (TTF, LNG JKM, VIX, EUR/USD). Indices represent risk scoring on a 0–100 scale: LOW (0–20), MODERATE (21–40), ELEVATED (41–60), SEVERE (61–80), CRITICAL (81–100).
