Energy security, rapidly growing demand, and energy transition have all positioned natural gas and LNG markets at the cusp of a growth supercycle. From wellhead to export terminal, ADI Analytics provides the insights to capitalize on the dynamic natural gas and LNG markets.
Energy security, affordability, and energy transition are growing demand for natural gas and LNG globally.
This demand growth is being met by rising natural gas supplies from North American shale plays (whose maturity is increasing gas-oil ratios along with expansions of newer plays such as Haynesville) and new onshore and offshore discoveries around the world.
Exploration and production of natural gas and LNG are also getting cheaper as breakeven costs keep falling in shale and beyond. Midstream infrastructure has also kept pace with capital investments globally in gathering lines, gas processing plants, natural gas liquid (NGL) fractionators, sulfur recovery, carbon dioxide (CO2) and acid gas removal, and transmission and local distribution pipelines.
Similarly, LNG production and export capacity have grown in North America and the Middle East while LNG production costs and prices have fallen with technology and business model innovation. Meanwhile, LNG contracting and pricing face commoditization expanding use across more emerging economies.
Collectively, natural gas and LNG are positioned as critical fuels in the global energy mix well through 2050 and beyond. Capitalizing on that future needs natural gas’ continued competitiveness on cost, supply, and, sustainability. This will include eliminating natural gas flaring and fugitive emissions, improving the efficiency of natural gas utilization, and broadening the fuel’s applications through small-scale LNG, compressed natural gas (CNG), and other options.
