Much of the industry’s recent focus has been on relieving Permian gas takeaway constraints through projects such as Kinder Morgan’s […]
What EQT–Range means for gas prices
On October 26, 2026, EQT Corporation agreed to buy Range Resources, both Appalachian gas producers, in an all-stock deal valued at $13.84 billion. The combined company produces over 9 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent per day (Bcfe/d), the most of any U.S. gas producer. ADI Analytics’ analysis of how this might impact the outlook […]
Water limits reshape oil & gas, power, and chemical operations
Water now sets operating limits in three industries ADI covers. Permian produced water volumes rose from 11.2 million bbl/d in 2017 to 24.9 million bbl/d in 2025, and regulators have restricted the disposal wells that take most of it. Refineries and chemical plants on the Texas Gulf Coast and the Rhine face allocation plans and […]
