This study benchmarked various monetization options for shale gas, quantifying the oil-to-gas price ratios required to achieve target investment returns. ADI evaluated the competitive positioning of LNG, gas-to-liquids (GTL), and methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) across major North American gas hubs. The analysis highlighted how regional differences in capital intensity and feedstock accessibility vary across the U.S. Gulf […]

ADI gathered and analyzed commercial data for small-scale LNG and CNG applications across the Bakken, Permian, and Marcellus plays. The research quantified compression costs, liq\uefaction fees, and trucking rates to define current market margins for midstream operators. Strategic implications focused on the infrastructure lag in these plays, creating arbitrage opportunities for mobile fuel delivery to […]

This study evaluated the penetration of small-scale LNG across 15 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, focusing on heavy-duty trucking and marine bunkering. ADI identified critical infrastructure constraints at regasification terminals, such as the lack of break-bulk and truck-loading services, while modeling the fuel-switching economics against high-tax regional diesel. The analysis prioritized regional investments based […]

ADI performed an independent assessment of the technical and economic viability of modular methanol plants in North American shale basins. Research explored the cost arbitrage of converting flared or stranded gas into liquid chemical products across a wide range of feedstock pricing. Analysis identified critical risks in process scale-up and the competitive impact of U.S. […]

To evaluate market positioning for specialty turbomachinery controls, ADI analyzed demand drivers across LNG export terminals, FPSOs, and ethylene crackers.
