Industry: Midstream & NGLs

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 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 […]

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 […]

In 2026, ADI expects demand growth to drive the midstream sector as opposed to supply growth. At the same time, disciplined capital allocation strategies will reshape how infrastructure is developed, optimized, and valued. Exhibit 1 summarizes our growth expectations in midstream oil and gas, and we share below 10 key insights on what to expect […]

The global shift toward a hydrogen economy is one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time. While interest in hydrogen has waned significantly in the past year, it continues to hold immense potential as a clean energy carrier, its widespread adoption hinges on the ability to transport it efficiently and safely. Based on ADI’s […]

For U.S. energy infrastructure developers—whether building a new natural gas pipeline, expanding a refined products line, or allocating renewable power capacity—the Open-Season Request for Proposals (RFP) is the critical mechanism for securing long-term customer commitments. It’s a structured, non-discriminatory process essential for demonstrating market need, unlocking financing, and gaining regulatory approval from bodies like the Federal Energy […]

The October 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter highlighted major trends shaping energy and industrials. 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 […]

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. Secretary Wright showed keen interest when our conversation shifted from gas and LNG to produced water management—a topic likely close to his past life leading […]

Last week, the annual Digitalization in Oil & Gas conference rolled into Houston, and I was grateful for the opportunity to speak at this always-excellent event hosted by our friends at the Energy Conference Network. The panel was charged to talk about building a digital-ready workforce, and I prepared by summarizing ADI Analytics’ consulting and research […]

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. Additionally, 2 mtpa of this capacity came from floating terminals and ~11 mtpa from terminals with small-scale, modular LNG trains (each less […]

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. Now, the supportive stance of the Trump Administration and growing global gas demand are expected to bolster the U.S. LNG sector through 2030. U.S. LNG export capacity reached a little over […]

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 […]
