Industry: Midstream & NGLs

The ADI Forum, launched in 2017, quickly became ADI Analytics’ flagship oil and gas conference, exceeding expectations in industry engagement and thought leadership. The event brought together leaders across the entire oil and gas value chain, including upstream, oilfield services, midstream, LNG, refining, and petrochemicals. Its primary goal was to provide attendees with a strategic […]

After a tumultuous recovery in 2021, the global chemical industry was expecting a strong rebound in 2022. Feedstock supply constraints, high energy prices, and slowing economic conditions, however, dampened the industry’s performance in 2022.  A number of these challenges will persist and likely intensify in 2023 and continue to challenge the industry.  Key trends with […]

The oil & gas midstream industry faced multiple challenges in 2022: an increase in demand for American LNG from Europe, growing emissions and ESG pressures, volatile margins and markets, and rising gas and oil production. In 2023, we expect similar challenges and dynamics that will test midstream markets again.  Some of these challenges and dynamics […]

The global LNG market was influenced by some unprecedented factors in 2022. Europe significantly grew their LNG imports driving LNG prices to astounding highs. U.S. emerged as the top exporter in spite of an emergency shutdown at Freeport LNG. High shipping rates also plagued LNG markets along with limited supply and growing sustainability pressures. All […]

ADI Analytics launched a Natural Gas Monetization research service to analyze supply, demand, pricing, regulations, and technology trends across LNG, GTL, MTG, and industrial gas applications. Deliverables include monthly briefs, quarterly and annual reports, data tools, and direct expert access—designed to help stakeholders assess projects, economics, risks, and strategic opportunities. The main areas of focus […]

The Permian Basin is set to see five new pipeline projects in the next year. Three projects will expand existing pipelines’ capacity, while the other two involve the construction of new pipelines. If everything goes according to plan, these five new pipelines will collectively add 4.18 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) to the region’s […]

Oil and gas companies are making decarbonization commitments that include mainly cutting Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions although they are under growing pressure to also cut Scope 3 emissions.  To this end, there is growing interest in understanding and benchmarking GHG emissions across the value chain from exploration and production through […]

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers tax credits to advance clean-energy initiatives and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While there are incentives for everything from carbon capture through electric vehicles to renewable energy and hydrogen production, there are some penalties. The federal government’s first-ever greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fee is part of the new law’s […]

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a complex value chain that requires progress in each segment to enable a global energy transition successfully. The four segments of the CCUS value chain, capture, transportation, storage, and use- are seeing varying level of progress. Capture should work more efficiently with power plants, and their CO-concentrated streams […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Joe Gentry, VP of Licensing at GTC Vorro, discussed the differences between U.S. and European regulatory adoption during the Midstream and NGL panel. He challenged the overemphasis on CO2 as a pollutant, arguing that other emissions, such as H2S contributing to SO2 pollution, posed greater health risks. While many companies […]

Leading operators such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Phillips 66 have announced CCS projects across the oil & gas value chain.

The global shipping industry is one of the hard-to-abate industries when it comes to decarbonization. While it constitutes a small share of global CO2 emissions today, it may see astronomical amount of growth if left unchecked. Global shipping industry demand is expected to see a 275% increase by 2050 compared to 2020 levels. To address […]
