As the shale patch enjoys the current upswing in commodity prices and prepares to supply the marginal barrel of demand growth, operators have significantly accelerated the adoption of artificial lift options. Through a mix of primary research conducted with oil & gas operators in the Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, and the Rockies, coupled with extensive […]
Inflation Reduction Act: Accelerating clean energy in the U.S.
On August 16 the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law by President Joe Biden, and is touted as the “largest federal investment” in clean energy and climate legislation history. A key target for $369 billion of the IRA investment is reduction of CO2 emissions of 40% below 2005 levels by 2030. Although there […]
Natural gas production growth in America
The recent sanctions on Russia have caused Western Europe to rely on other countries for natural gas imports. The U.S. is one of the key countries that has expanded its import to Western Europe, and we expect this role only to grow due to multiple factors, including the following: Natural gas production has grown by […]
Steam turbine trends in power generation
Note: This blog was originally written in 2017 As natural gas supply continues to grow and operators become more aware of the environmental benefits of switching to natural gas from coal-based power generation, ADI identified trends in capital equipment purchasing. In countries where natural gas has a cost advantage over coal, such as the United […]
Gas turbine trends in power generation
Note: This blog was originally written in 2017 Global natural gas supply has grown 1.6% annually from 2011 to 2016, and it is projected to continue to grow over the next 5 years. The United States, the world’s largest gas producer, will account for 40% of the growth in global natural gas production over the […]
Striving for excellence: How equipment selection can help with efficient natural gas use
Since the start of the pandemic, global natural gas supply recovered slightly in 2021 with a 4.1% growth rate, but it was still hampered by unplanned outages in several exporting countries. With the start of the Russia-Ukraine War earlier this year, the drop in natural gas supply from Russia has further tightened the global market, […]
A cleaner tomorrow: A look into pipeline emissions reduction initiatives
Fugitive emissions are a growing concern in the natural gas industry due to their environmental impact on global warming. Methane, which makes up the bulk of natural gas, is 86 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year period which has operators and regulatory bodies desperate to find new ways to reduce these types of […]
Much ado about nothing: Expanding ethanol blending in the summer
The Biden Administration temporarily removed restrictions on summer gasoline sales with higher ethanol blends to lower gas prices. Since ethanol from corn is cheaper than crude oil-based gasoline, increasing the blending limits allow gas stations to potentially sell gasoline at lower prices. The measure suggests a potential increase in the demand for ethanol although there […]
Going Blue: No amines? Consider these alternative CCS technologies
Post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion are the three main methods of capturing CO2 from large-scale industrial facilities. Most of the CO2-capture technologies today are amine-based solvents for wet absorption. Fluor Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Aker Solution, and BASF are some prominent amine-based solvent vendors. Various commercial plants use their technologies, but what alternatives exist to […]
Greener skies: Part I: A jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel market outlook
Aviation is one of the hard-to-abate industries when it comes to decarbonization. COVID-induced lockdowns and the recession that closely followed slashed global aviation demand by 42% in 2020 compared to 2019. This also resulted in the lowest CO2 emissions from the aviation industry in over two decades dropping from about a billion tons of CO2 […]
