Industry: Natural gas & LNG

Panuswee Dwivedi, Project Manager, represented ADI Analytics at the Gastech Exhibition and Conference from September 9-12, 2025, in Milan, Italy. Gastech is a premier event for natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, and low-carbon solutions. She joined the Texas delegation at the Texas Pavilion, where we had a booth, to discuss the latest trends and insights across […]

As the global oil and gas industry adapts to slower demand growth and increasing pressure to decarbonize, Africa is quietly reasserting itself as a frontier for upstream exploration. As seen in Exhibit 1, oil reserves in Africa have been concentrated in a few producers, particularly Libya, Nigeria, and Algeria. Exhibit 1. Oil reserves by the […]

The oil & gas and chemical industries are at an inflection point. For years, growth was a given, but a new era, one characterized by a structural decline in capital and operational spending, is starting to take shape. Recent trends of slowing oil demand growth, oversupplied markets, and shrinking chemical margins as shown in exhibit […]

Before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, ADI published an article analyzing the potential shifts in U.S. energy markets and policy under a second Trump administration. We noted that, in his second term, President Trump might ease some methane emissions regulations. Fast forward to today, President Trump signed a joint Congressional resolution repealing the Waste Emissions Charge (WEC) […]

The oil and gas industry has come a long way since the first mechanically drilled wells, which were roughly 69 feet deep. From Edwin L Drake’s team striking oil at 69.5 feet in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859, to today’s Permian Basin producers drilling wells over 3,000 feet in vertical depth and exceeding 25,000 feet in […]

Traditionally, hydrogen has been produced predominantly via steam methane reforming (SMR), a process in which methane in natural gas reacts with steam at high temperature, producing hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2) as byproduct. Hydrogen produced via this method is commonly referred to as grey hydrogen. Although this method is cost-effective, it contributes significantly to greenhouse […]

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 […]

In the May 2025 edition of the ADI newsletter, we explore the evolving energy landscape shaped by the natural gas and LNG supercycle. Stay ahead with expert analysis on global gas demand driven by data center growth, energy security, and emerging market expansion. This biweekly newsletter also covers sustainable aviation fuel markets, hydrogen developments, and […]

In the March 2025 edition of the ADI newsletter, we covered how refineries are under pressure to decarbonize. Despite a slowdown, shale consolidation was expected to attract investment, and the Middle East was experiencing a gas boom to meet rising demand. Additionally, the global chemical industry was projected to rebound in 2025, driven by specialty […]

The refining industry faced another challenging year in 2024, with crack spreads plummeting due to weak demand for petroleum products and rising global refining capacity. As we look ahead to 2025, refiners will likely encounter another difficult year with sluggish demand, tight margins, and potential supply disruptions amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Key trends to watch […]

Resilience through innovation and strategic restructuring is laying the groundwork for a recovery in the chemicals industry. As companies pivot toward high-growth markets and adapt to global challenges, 2025 is expected to bring renewed optimism. Key trends to watch in 2025 include: The rest of this article is available to ADI Plus Essential subscribers. ADI […]

In 2025, the U.S. midstream oil and gas industry is expected to see growth opportunities, tied to rising hydrocarbon exports with new pipelines and export capacity planned to alleviate bottlenecks. Key trends to look out for include the following: The rest of this article is available to ADI Plus Essential subscribers. ADI Plus Enhanced and […]
