How will the 2026 mid-term elections impact energy markets?
Democrats won control of the House and the Senate on November 3 and flipped the governorships of Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, and Iowa. Energy was a central issue in many of these races, particularly the cost of electricity and the growth of data centers. Power prices have risen in many states in recent years. Data […]
Newsletter: Gas prices, Permian bottlenecks, and midstream growth
In the November 2026 edition of the ADI Newsletter, ADI examines the implications of EQT’s acquisition of Range Resources and what the deal could mean for natural gas markets in Appalachia and at the Henry Hub. The newsletter also explores the growing role of oil and gas capabilities in supporting the energy transition, from geothermal […]
Permian’s next bottleneck is basin connectivity
As ADI discussed recently in Trends shaping the U.S. midstream outlook, rising LNG exports, growing power demand from AI data centers, and continued oil and gas production growth are driving a new wave of midstream investment. Much of the industry’s recent focus has been on relieving Permian gas takeaway constraints through projects such as Kinder Morgan’s […]
