Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), once touted as a bridge fuel to a low-carbon renewable energy-powered future, are now increasingly seen as a permanently central part of the evolving global energy landscape. Factors such as explosive growth in AI and data centers in the U.S. and elsewhere, energy security concerns in Europe and […]

Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas, significantly more impactful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. The midstream sector, responsible for gathering, processing, and transporting natural gas, is a key focus in efforts to reduce methane emissions in the oil and gas industry. Gathering and boosting operations, which collect […]

Lastly, data center energy demands are spurring investment in […]

In the February 2025 edition of the ADI newsletter, we noted how the oil market faced potential oversupply due to strong non-OPEC production. In contrast, the U.S. midstream sector was poised for growth, driven by increasing hydrocarbon exports and the development of new infrastructure. Global LNG prices were expected to rise due to strong demand, […]

In the January 2025 edition of the ADI newsletter, we highlighted the top 10 insights of the year 2024. We explored the potential and challenges of repurposing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transport, and the decarbonization efforts of major oil and gas companies in their upstream operations. It also discussed the possible resurgence of gas-to-liquids […]

In the November 2024 edition of the ADI newsletter, we discussed how the U.S. natural gas sector was expanding pipelines to meet rising demand. The 2024 U.S. elections raised questions about future energy policies, and the refining industry faced challenges from declining margins and alternative fuels. Furthermore, stricter methane emission regulations drove technological investments in […]

In the August 2020 edition of the ADI chemicals newsletter, we discussed how global chemical companies increasingly faced ESG pressures amidst a mixed 2020 economic outlook. This featured a forecasted GDP contraction but a late Q2 recovery in auto sales and PMI. Europe saw plastic recycling and green hydrogen collaborations, while the Americas had an […]

The global transition towards sustainable energy has placed green fuels at the forefront of efforts to decarbonize aviation, maritime, and heavy industries. These green fuels — renewable diesel (RD), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol — promise a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. However, mainstream adoption requires overcoming significant barriers, including scalability, infrastructure […]

In the March 2020 edition of the ADI newsletter, we explored the past trajectory of private equity’s role in fueling oil and gas midstream growth, examining whether this trend continued. We provided an outlook on NGL fractionation and storage capacity, detailing recent developments within that sector. Additionally, we analyzed the success of small-scale LNG delivery […]
