At the 2023 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics, highlighted key trends shaping oil and gas, and energy. While oil faced supply constraints, U.S. natural gas growth was limited by infrastructure. This made permitting reforms crucial. Shale remained a cost-competitive player, and the Inflation Reduction Act was accelerating energy transition opportunities in hydrogen, electrification, and carbon capture. However, securing funding for large-scale projects remained a challenge. As the industry evolved, those who adapt would find both challenges and opportunities ahead.

The Inflation Reduction Act was a seminal piece of legislation accelerating the U.S. energy transition. Significant work was done to help stakeholders leverage its elements. In the short term (through mid-2030s), energy transition markets were expected to be niche. This included green/blue hydrogen, electrification, and carbon capture (CCS with some DAC). There was increasing capital flowing into first-of-a-kind plants leveraging these technologies, despite the associated risks.
