Industry: Oil & Gas

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, […]

ADI’s blog series examines the refining industry in Latin American import-reliant nations, including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Ecuador. The latest installment focuses on Peru, drawing from their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

ADI’s blog series analyzes Latin American refining, focusing on import-reliant nations. Previous blogs covered Brazil, Mexico, and Chile; today’s discusses Ecuador, based on their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

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.”

A key growth driver behind liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand has been environmental policy and regulatory pressure driven by decarbonization and air quality improvement goals. The Paris Agreement signed in 2016 aims to restrict greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and slow the global temperature rise to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. The Philippines committed to the […]

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, […]

Natural gas markets and prices are boiling these days with European and Asian buyers falling over themselves to secure supplies The boil is roiling global markets through a domino effect that is impacting everything including power and heating bills, fertilizer and aluminum plants, carbonated sodas and turkeys for Christmas feasts, energy transition, and global economic […]

How will hydrogen by transported if Energy Transition picks up the pace? Can existing pipelines help meet growing hydrogen demand?

Primarily used for aluminum (90%), alumina also finds applications in abrasives, refractories, glass, and ceramics. Extracted from bauxite via the Bayer process, which yields alumina as a white powder, a significant challenge is the environmentally hazardous alkaline by-product, red mud.

We continue our coverage of refined product exports to Latin America with a profile of Mexican fuel imports.

In the September 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, global natural gas prices were surging, triggering a widespread domino effect across markets—raising heating and electricity costs, disrupting industrial operations, and impacting everything from fertilizer production to holiday food supplies. In Latin America, Mexico remains a focal point for refined fuel imports, shaping regional trade dynamics. […]
