The latest edition of Platts’ Capitol Crude podcast builds on issues I’ve explored here on The Fuse. I joined Platts reporters Herman Wang and Brian Scheid to discuss ISIS oil operations, revenues and exports; we also touch on bigger questions like whether or not international prices impact the ISIS market (spoiler alert: they don’t). Much of the conversation focuses on the effectiveness of the coalition’s airstrike campaign.
