SLB’s recent acquisition of S&P Global’s upstream software portfolio (including Kingdom and Petra) signals a major strategic shift across the sector. In this brief update, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics, breaks down how oilfield service majors are aggressively chasing recurring digital revenue and why a global exploration rebound is making these tools more valuable […]

SLB this week agreed to acquire S&P Global Energy’s upstream software portfolio, aiming to bring software-like economics to OFSE companies. The acquisition includes the widely used Kingdom, Petra, and Harmony geoscience and petroleum engineering tools, mainly used for U.S. onshore workflows. SLB sees this as an expansion of its digital platform with essential tools to […]

North American midstream companies are entering a multi‑year transition as AI‑driven electricity demand reshapes how natural gas infrastructure is planned, financed, and contracted. Over the next five years, the sector is expected to evolve from linear pipeline expansion toward integrated power platforms that combine supply, transport, storage, and generation around large, fixed loads. Several large […]

Part of ADI Analytics’ ongoing coverage of the implications of the Iran conflict across oil & gas, LNG, refined products, and chemicals. Qatar’s LNG shutdown is being assessed as if it were a temporary shock. It is not. Based on ADI’s primary research, including interviews with LNG operators in the Middle East, EPC contractors, technology […]

Over the past two years, EPC firms have begun talking about process technology licensing in a materially different way. In corporate filings, expert calls, and investor communications, licensing is no longer positioned as an adjunct to project execution. Instead, it is increasingly framed as a core strategic lever—one that delivers capital light margins, recurring revenue, […]

We shared some of ADI Analytics’ research on methane emissions at the 5th Energy Emissions Management Conference in Houston last week.  While the methane emissions measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) landscape is clearly far more mixed today than a year ago, operators in 2026 continue to address material challenges around regulatory pressure, buyer requirements, and […]

In March 2026, Capital Power advanced plans for a large data center in Alberta using on‑site gas‑fired generation tied to AECO pricing. With AECO prices recently around US$1.00–1.20 per MMBtu, fuel costs are among the lowest available to data‑center developers in North America, reinforcing Alberta’s appeal as a destination for power‑intensive compute. This momentum is […]

In April 2024, Technip Energies’ Loading Systems business launched a new generation of fully electric and automated loading arms designed for LNG, ammonia, and liquid CO₂ service. Subsequent project activity—across LNG export terminals and emerging cryogenic applications—reinforces a broader shift observed in LNG infrastructure markets: as capacity expands, operators and equipment suppliers are placing greater […]

Texas is shaping the future of U.S. power development. Many regions across the country remain bottlenecked in long interconnection queues filled with early‑stage proposals that may never move forward, yet Texas stands out for a very different reason. ERCOT has far more generation capacity in advanced stages of development than in speculative stages, a contrast […]

At the 2026 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI, provided a cross-segment outlook on the energy and chemical value chains. He highlighted the firm’s focus on the strategic interfaces between upstream production, global gas markets, and power generation, emphasizing how infrastructure and geopolitical shifts are reshaping global commodity flows. Key themes included a shift […]
