Industry: Oil & Gas

While diesel production in the Americas increased through the first half of 2026, output in Europe and Asia declined, increasing reliance on North American exports to help balance global supply. This comes at a time when middle distillate markets remain critical to freight, industrial, and commercial activity, making reliable diesel supply increasingly important for many […]

In the September 2026 edition, ADI examines the fallout from Middle East supply disruptions and structural gaps in the critical minerals race. LNG markets absorbed most of the Hormuz-related disruption, with prices largely returning to pre-conflict levels, suggesting more limited lasting impact than initially predicted. China continues to lead in critical minerals through state-backed financing […]

Part of ADI Analytics’ ongoing coverage of the implications of the Iran conflict across oil & gas, LNG, refined products, and chemicals. Analysts have been quick to predict permanently altered LNG trade flows, structurally different chemical markets, and a new global energy order following the Iran conflict. Several months into the conflict, the evidence points […]

The catalyst industry is entering a new phase, with 2026 marking a period of significant portfolio realignment and expansion into adjacent catalyst technologies and services across refining, petrochemical, polymer, and emissions-control markets. The transactions shown in Exhibit 1 highlight a broader shift in how companies are positioning themselves across the catalyst value chain. For instance, […]

ADI Analytics is pleased to share that our CEO, Uday Turaga, was featured in Enterprise AM discussing Kuwait’s Project Peregrine and the growing trend of infrastructure monetization across the global energy sector. Kuwait’s recent transaction is part of a broader wave of deals involving major regional players like ADNOC Group, Aramco, OQ, and Bapco Energies. […]

The engineered pump industry is seeing growing demand from AI infrastructure, LNG expansion, critical minerals development, and industrial modernization. At the same time, aftermarket services and digital monitoring are becoming larger contributors to industry profit pools. These trends are changing industry growth drivers and profit pools (see Exhibit 1). Exhibit 1.  Growth drivers in the […]

Geothermal is attracting more attention than at any point in recent decades. Fervo’s IPO brought public-market attention to enhanced geothermal systems, and Quaise’s recent $134 million Series B first close showed continued investor appetite for superhot geothermal and millimeter-wave drilling. Developers are improving drilling performance, stimulation design, reservoir modeling, subsurface monitoring, and project execution. Oil […]

Kuwait Oil Company’s $16 billion pipeline lease-and-leaseback with Blackstone, Brookfield, and KKR marks the latest step in a broader shift in energy infrastructure ownership. The deal covers 13 crude oil pipelines across roughly 320 kilometers, gives the investor consortium a 49% stake in a new joint venture, and generates $7.85 billion in upfront proceeds for […]

Crude oil prices have retreated since the June ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, but gasoline and diesel prices remain significantly above their levels at the start of 2026. While concerns over an immediate supply disruption have eased, renewed attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continue to create uncertainty around global energy flows. Implications for […]

As the energy and data center landscapes evolve, identifying true growth opportunities requires moving past headline hype and into practical execution. In this brief update, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics, shares critical insights from ADI’s project tracking database, breaks down power price dynamics in ERCOT, and previews an upcoming industry summit addressing the full […]

Artificial lift has been a core production technology for decades. The next phase of growth is increasingly being driven by software, automation, analytics, and production optimization rather than hardware alone. Operators are managing larger well inventories, more mature shale assets, and growing pressure to reduce lease operating expense (LOE), improve uptime, and extend run life. […]

In a significant milestone for aviation decarbonization, the methanol-to-jet (MTJ) pathway for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production received approval last month under ASTM D7566 Annex A5. Exhibit 1 below shows all the approved SAF production pathways. The approval also includes e-methanol produced via power-to-liquid (PtL) processes using renewable electricity and captured CO₂ as an eligible […]
