Crude-oil futures fell for a second straight session, settling at nearly $62 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on unseasonably warm Northeast weather and expectations of rising inventories.
Here is Friday’s roundup of oil and energy news:

COURT WIN FOR EXXON: A federal appeals court cut in half a $5 billion jury award for punitive damages against Exxon Mobil in the 1989 Valdez oil spill along the Alaskan coastline. The case, one of the nation’s longest-running, noncriminal legal disputes, stems from a 1994 decision by an Anchorage jury to award the punitive damages to 34,000 fishermen and other Alaskans harmed when the Valdez oil tanker struck a charted reef, spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil.
•Georgia Makes a Deal: Georgia agreed to pay more than double what it pays now for Russian natural gas, in a deal that could potentially threaten its fragile economy.
•No Bang for the Buck: The U.S. government is getting very little benefit in return for the generous incentives it pays to oil companies to drill in coastal waters, according to an Interior Department study, the New York Times reports.
•Turkmen Death Sparks Power Struggles: The death of Turkmenistan’s autocratic president set in motion a series of power struggles, as exiled opposition leaders clamored to return and world powers competed for influence over the Central Asian country and its vast energy resources.
•Statoil Trims Production: Norway’s state-controlled oil company Statoil said it was cutting production at its Kvitebjoern field by 95,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day for the next five months as part of a reservoir management and drilling program.
•More Charges Possible for Russian Tycoon: Jailed oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been transferred to a detention center in Siberia, possibly signaling that new criminal charges will be filed against him.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
