Industry: Midstream & NGLs

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 […]

Since 2017, the ADI Forum had been a vital event for oil and gas professionals seeking networking opportunities and fresh perspectives. Featuring insights from leaders such as Fabio Ribeiro, Director at CISTAR; Terry Shidner, Enterprise Account Executive at AlphaSense; Reinaldo Bermudez, Executive Director of Turbomachinery Sales at MAN Energy Solutions; Vincent Follaca, Senior Business Development […]

Powered by rising support for decarbonization, hydrogen is being positioned as a key pillar to the energy transition. Through 2021, more than 200 hydrogen projects were announced, 30 countries had released their hydrogen roadmaps, and governments worldwide announced billions of dollars in capital spending towards hydrogen infrastructure. This momentum is expected to continue in 2022 […]

Despite anticipated slower growth and reduced capital spending in the U.S. midstream sector in 2022, driven by factors including policy changes and shifting capacity needs, international markets and energy transition initiatives like carbon capture and hydrogen offer growth opportunities, while Europe’s gas shortage may spur storage capacity increases.

Due to midstream capacity issues operators’ flaring has become a serious problem in areas like the Bakken. However, there are many new emerging technologies and strategies that may reduce flaring.

Before COVID-19, several new pipelines came online and the natural gas transport capacity outstripped supply. However, demand disruption suddenly forced operators to cut on capital spending which resulted in a decline in the associated gas production. What is the future of pipeline infrastructure with a rebound in oil prices?

In the December 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, we examined key developments in energy infrastructure, resource flows, and transition-critical materials. We took a closer look at the future of pipeline infrastructure in the Permian Basin as oil prices rebound and capital spending gradually returned. In the Bakken, midstream constraints were driving persistent flaring issues, […]

Several countries have laid out hydrogen strategies in the journey to energy transition. For example, South Korea is aiming to quadruple current annual demand for hydrogen to 2 million tons per year (MMTPA) by 2030 and grow to 5 MMTPA by 2050. Similarly, Japan is aiming to consume 3 MMTPA by 2030, rising to 20 MMTPA by 2050. However, […]

The initial euphoria of a quick post-COVID recovery to jet fuel markets has now died. In addition to near-term challenges, jet fuel markets are also beset with long-term constraints. What is the future of jet fuel?
