Industry: Oil & Gas

The global shift toward a hydrogen economy is one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time. While interest in hydrogen has waned significantly in the past year, it continues to hold immense potential as a clean energy carrier, its widespread adoption hinges on the ability to transport it efficiently and safely. Based on ADI’s […]

The ADI team participated in multiple events across the city during the second annual Houston Energy and Climate Week in September 2025—which has now grown into a vibrant global event—hosting many of our clients who traveled from as far as Asia and Europe. Houston’s startup landscape feels vibrant and increasingly central to the energy transition; the ION and Greentown Labs have emerged […]

For U.S. energy infrastructure developers—whether building a new natural gas pipeline, expanding a refined products line, or allocating renewable power capacity—the Open-Season Request for Proposals (RFP) is the critical mechanism for securing long-term customer commitments. It’s a structured, non-discriminatory process essential for demonstrating market need, unlocking financing, and gaining regulatory approval from bodies like the Federal Energy […]

The October 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter highlighted major trends shaping energy and industrials. At Gastech Milan, discussions with key leaders such as U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum underscored how natural gas and LNG are entering a new phase of sustained growth driven by energy security and rising […]

The industrial aftermarket, once considered a secondary business of spare parts and repairs, has evolved into a strategic growth engine for energy-focused industrial and manufacturing companies. This shift isn’t just an incremental change, but a critical business and strategic imperative driven by declining and increasingly volatile capital spending by oil & gas, energy, and chemical companies. […]

Global hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and renewable diesel (RD) capacity has expanded rapidly since 2019, led primarily by North America. By 2024, North America accounted for more than 60% of global HVO/RD capacity, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, with China emerging as a key renewable fuel exporter to the European market. Looking ahead to […]

Last week, South Korea announced its new SAF roadmap after postponing the start of its mandate from 2025 to 2027. Exhibit 1 highlights several key elements, including (1) SAF qualification criteria, (2) SAF blending targets and timelines, (3) compliance requirements and penalties, and (4) policy incentives and support measures. It is a comprehensive approach that […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
