U.S. Oil ExportsBHP to sell Texas oil overseas without formal U.S. approval
A major energy company will soon sell U.S. oil abroad without explicit permission from the U.S. government, another sign that the decades-old federal ban on crude exports is crumbling. BHP Billiton’s BHP, -1.68% BHP, -0.10% BLT, +0.00% deal to sell about $50 million of ultralight oil from Texas to foreign buyers without formal government approval is likely to be only the first of many such moves as energy companies seek new markets and higher prices for the surge of crude now pumped in the U.S.

Jabhat Al-NusraU.S. officials consider striking another militant group in Syria, Jabhat al-Nusra
U.S. officials are weighing whether to broaden the air campaign in Syria to strike a militant group that is a rival to the Islamic State and that is poised to take over a strategically vital corridor from Turkey.

Anti-ISIS CampaignAirstrikes against the Islamic State have not affected flow of foreign fighters to Syria
More than 1,000 foreign fighters are streaming into Syria each month, a rate that has so far been unchanged by airstrikes against the Islamic State and efforts by other countries to stem the flow of departures, according to U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials. The magnitude of the ongoing migration suggests that the U.S.-led air campaign has neither deterred significant numbers of militants from traveling to the region nor triggered a spike in the rate of travel among Muslim populations inflamed by American intervention.

Saudi Oil PolicySaudi Arabia Officials Divided on How to Respond to Oilprice Drop
During past sharp oil price moves, traders watched for statements from high-level Saudi officials that might calm the markets--Saudi Arabia is by far the biggest oil producer within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, pumping some 10 million barrels of crude a day.
