The ADI team participated in multiple events across the city during the second annual Houston Energy and Climate Week in September 2025—which has now grown into a vibrant global event—hosting many of our clients who traveled from as far as Asia and Europe. Houston’s startup landscape feels vibrant and increasingly central to the energy transition; the ION and Greentown Labs have emerged […]

At Gastech Milan, discussions with key leaders such as U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum underscored how natural gas and LNG are entering a new phase of sustained growth driven by energy security and rising […]

The industrial aftermarket, once considered a secondary business of spare parts and repairs, has evolved into a strategic growth engine for energy-focused industrial and manufacturing companies. This shift isn’t just an incremental change, but a critical business and strategic imperative driven by declining and increasingly volatile capital spending by oil & gas, energy, and chemical companies. […]

This was an exciting week as ADI Analytics was honored to host U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at our exhibit at Gastech 2025 in Milan.

Global LNG capacity grew by more than 20 million tons per annum (mtpa) from 2023 through mid-2025. North America, including the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, accounted for about 65% of this new capacity.

The U.S. LNG export capacity growth stagnated over the past couple years due to delays caused by market volatility, labor shortages, and regulatory uncertainty.

Google recently published new data showing how much energy it takes to run its Gemini AI assistant. What makes this release important is not just the numbers, but how Google measured them. How we measure AI’s energy use Most existing estimates of AI energy use, such as AIEnergyScore, focus only on the power used by […]

Latin America fuel supply hasn’t been able to meet the region’s fuel demand for the past several years mainly due to its refineries’ low utilization rates and a lack of investments in refinery upgrades and expansions.

We recently wrote about litigation around produced water and its critical mineral content. That is not the only lawsuit surrounding water management. Shale independent Stateline Operating is seeking $180 million in damages from operator Devon Energy and water treatment services provider Aris Water Solutions. It alleges that the large volume of wastewater injection led to contamination […]

On June 27, 2025, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in Cactus Water Services, LLC v. COG Operating, LLC. It declared that produced water is oil & gas waste and therefore belongs to the hydrocarbon lessee i.e. oil & gas operator typically.
