Industry: Midstream & NGLs

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 […]

Since 2019, midstream companies have been lowering their capital spending annually. For example, Kinder Morgan expects to spend roughly $390 million less in capex in 2022 than they did in 2019, as seen in Exhibit 1. This trend for companies in the industry is due to a multitude of factors which were covered in depth […]

Growing ESG pressure from investors, rise in public awareness towards climate change, and countries setting ambitious net-zero emission targets have motivated upstream operators to invest in technologies that can reduce their carbon footprint. What are the operators doing to reduce flaring?

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Michael Mott, SVP of Strategy at NextDecade, discussed the challenges and solutions for transporting and utilizing natural gas from Texas’ key production regions, during a Natural Gas and LNG panel moderated by Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics. Mott highlighted the successful sale of a 42-inch pipeline to Enbridge, which […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Paul Bieniawski, CEO, Enstor Gas LLC, and David Paradis, CEO, Trillium Flow Technologies, joined the midstream & NGLs panel. Key topics included changing operational practices to reduce gas emissions, notably through blowdown gas recovery. The discussion addressed challenges in quantifying fugitive emissions and highlighted emerging technologies like drones and gas […]
