Industry: Natural gas & LNG

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Dena Wiggins, CEO of the Natural Gas Supply Association, emphasized the industry’s support for an economy-wide price on carbon, arguing that regulators should allow all fuels to compete fairly rather than picking winners and losers. She stressed that carbon pricing could send the right market signals, enabling companies to meet […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Dena Wiggins, CEO, Natural Gas Supply Association and industry leaders discussed the challenges of implementing carbon pricing, noting that while some sectors had recognized its necessity earlier, the natural gas trade association had formally supported it three years prior, becoming the first major group to do so. Despite the political […]

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, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics, and Matt Jackson, VP at Crowley, discussed LNG’s rapid adoption in shipping, despite emerging alternatives like ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen. Supply chain and pricing challenges had delayed these fuels, while LNG‑powered vessels surged past 900, offering a 20–30% emissions reduction and a pathway to […]

While 2020 presented unprecedented challenges for global petroleum refiners due to pandemic-induced demand destruction, 2021 proved unexpectedly frustrating. Despite progress towards normalcy, persistent COVID-19 variants hindered the anticipated full recovery of oil and gas markets.

The global chemical industry experienced a rapid, albeit unstable, recovery in 2021, with stabilization anticipated 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.

Faced with COVID-19 challenges, mining operators in the preceding year focused on resilience, investor confidence, ESG, and capital/operational discipline. These priorities, alongside complexities identified in 2021, remain pertinent for the industry in 2022.

The global LNG market experienced strong, albeit volatile, growth in 2021 due to post-COVID recovery, winter, and decarbonization.

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?

ADI’s blog series examines Latin American refining and fuel demand, previously covering Brazil and Mexico. Today’s blog focuses on Chile’s import reliance, drawing from their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”
