Industry: Oil & Gas

In recent months, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) initiatives have gained momentum across Asia Pacific as governments, airlines, and industry players step up efforts to promote SAF adoption. Exhibit 1 highlights the SAF mandates announced in different countries, along with recent announcements of airlines securing offtake agreements and SAF plants coming online. Exhibit 1. SAF targets […]

The Methanol Institute (MI) commissioned ADI to prepare a study on the economic and employment impacts of the U.S. methanol industry. The study concluded that the availability of abundant and cheap shale gas supplies significantly advantages domestic production of methanol in the U.S. Any investments in new methanol production capacity could create a significant economic […]

India’s refining industry is an interesting study in contrasts.  On the one hand, the country boasts of one of the largest grassroots, greenfield refinery ever built in recent times – Reliance Industries Limited’s Jamnagar refinery, whose capacity is 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) and has one of the highest “complexities” of any refinery.  Complexity, […]

This was an exciting week as ADI Analytics was honored to host U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at our exhibit at Gastech 2025 in Milan. Secretary Wright showed keen interest when our conversation shifted from gas and LNG to produced water management—a topic likely close to his past life leading […]

Last week, the annual Digitalization in Oil & Gas conference rolled into Houston, and I was grateful for the opportunity to speak at this always-excellent event hosted by our friends at the Energy Conference Network. The panel was charged to talk about building a digital-ready workforce, and I prepared by summarizing ADI Analytics’ consulting and research […]

Global LNG capacity grew by more than 20 million tons per annum (mtpa) from 2023 through mid-2025. North America, including the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, accounted for about 65% of this new capacity. Additionally, 2 mtpa of this capacity came from floating terminals and ~11 mtpa from terminals with small-scale, modular LNG trains (each less […]

ADI Analytics had a highly productive presence at the International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC) in Houston this October. Our CEO, Uday Turaga, attended this vital industry event, which focused on the latest advancements in technology, services, and operational strategies shaping the refining and petrochemical sectors. Turaga discussed the critical trends and strategic insights with […]

In the September 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter, we highlight new oil and gas exploration in Africa as a driving force behind reshaping the continent’s energy landscape. A long-term growth supercycle for natural gas and LNG has become central to global energy strategies, influenced by AI growth, energy security, and economic shifts. Additionally, the […]

The U.S. LNG export capacity growth stagnated over the past couple years due to delays caused by market volatility, labor shortages, and regulatory uncertainty. Now, the supportive stance of the Trump Administration and growing global gas demand are expected to bolster the U.S. LNG sector through 2030. U.S. LNG export capacity reached a little over […]

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act preserved key tax incentives for geothermal power while scaling back support for other renewables like wind and solar. These incentives, specifically the 48E Investment Tax Credit and 45Y Production Tax Credit, are critical for developers, helping them raise capital and attract major customers. The bill also sets a clear phaseout schedule, giving geothermal projects […]

Plastic waste management in the U.S. is undergoing major regulatory transformation. At the center of this change is advanced recycling, a group of chemical and thermal processes designed to complement traditional mechanical recycling by breaking down used plastics into the raw materials needed to make new plastics. Federal infrastructure programs, state-level policy shifts, and private […]

Global natural gas and LNG market experienced significant volatility in the past couple of years due to supply constraints, lack of new capacity additions, unplanned outages, and geopolitical tensions. The market was relatively stable in 2024 due to high demand in Asia Pacific and Europe. As the world prioritizes energy security and cost-competitive low-carbon energy, […]
