Client Results
ADI helped us quantify our target market size in a very methodical manner. They got up to speed very quickly on what we do, spending time with our team, technology, and markets to perform a thorough evaluation themselves.
ADI assessed the global drag reducing agents (DRA) market, focusing on heavy crude applications and midstream pipeline infrastructure. The analysis mapped the competitive landscape and technological differentiation between suspension and solution-based DRA chemistries. Regional growth was modeled against pipeline utilization and production forecasts for North America and the Middle East. The client Specialty chemical manufacturer […]
Assessing the shift from gas lift to Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) required an evaluation of operational excellence trends and downhole tool durability. ADI modeled the transition from banding to clamping in unconventional wells, accounting for rig time costs and the failure risks associated with high-deviation wellbores. The work navigated the trade-offs between lower upfront CAPEX […]
ADI modeled the global reciprocating compressor market segmented by speed across the oil and gas value chain. The research addressed the impact of LNG carrier fleets availability and shifting marine fuel regulations on boil-off gas handling. Strategic analysis focused on the recurring revenue potential of aftermarket services. The client Private equity firm The situation High […]
This evaluation quantified the valuation potential of an African oil holdings by benchmarking global M&A transaction data for oil sands and other development-stage fields. ADI analyzed the economic trade-offs between as-is asset sales and value-added farm-out scenarios involving significant drilling investments over a three-year horizon. The findings addressed infrastructure limitations and contingent resource uncertainty within […]
ADI evaluated the global refining and petrochemical spend to determine market entry strategies for specialty maintenance services and equipment. The assessment addressed regional capacity shifts, specifically the transition from European asset closures to massive integrated complexes in Asia and the Middle East. Strategic planning focused on the trade-offs between routine turnaround services and large-scale modernization […]
ADI evaluated the total addressable market and outlook over a 10-year period for AI-driven seismic interpretation amidst a shrinking G&G user pool. The study addressed factors impacting the adoption of OSDU and cloud migration among NOCs, majors, and independent operators. Analysis centered on evaluating the trade-off between model-centric and expert-based AI, and geoscientists’ preference globally. […]
To quantify addressable opportunities for midstream services, ADI modeled capital and operational expenditures across North American gathering, transportation, distribution and storage assets. The study evaluated infrastructure constraints in the Permian and Appalachian basins, specifically addressing how rising maintenance needs on aging infrastructure offset cyclical volatility in new project FIDs. Proprietary spend curves were applied to […]

The client An integrated oil and gas major evaluating a new corrosion monitoring technology for oil and gas facilities. The situation The client needed an independent evaluation of the market […]
ADI Analytics conducted a market analysis of seismic study services to support an independent exploration and production (E&P) company’s evaluation of technology options and supply chain cost optimization. The client An independent E&P company evaluating seismic study solutions and sourcing strategies. The situation The client sought to understand the seismic services landscape, evaluate vendor engagement […]
ADI Analytics conducted a comprehensive review of the global oilfield chemicals market to support a venture capital investor’s evaluation of potential investment opportunities. The client A venture capital firm evaluating opportunities in the oilfield chemicals sector. The situation The client needed a detailed market review across multiple oilfield chemical segments to inform its investment thesis, […]
The U.S. government is spending real money on critical minerals right now. On August 7, 2026, the Department of Energy launched a $100 million program to train more mining engineers. It’s one of several moves happening at the same time, alongside price guarantees, tariffs, and new sourcing rules. None of it changes the basic picture: […]
Part of ADI Analytics’ ongoing coverage of the implications of the Iran conflict across oil & gas, LNG, refined products, and chemicals. Analysts have been quick to predict permanently altered LNG trade flows, structurally different chemical markets, and a new global energy order following the Iran conflict. Several months into the conflict, the evidence points […]
Japan and South Korea are moving from aspirational sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) targets toward blending mandates. In July 2026, Japan announced plans to mandate a 1% SAF blend in fiscal year (FY) 2030, rising to at least 3% in FY2031 and 5% or more from FY2032–34. South Korea announced its phased SAF mandate in 2025, […]
