Industry: Oil & Gas

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 […]

Jet fuel demand is taking off, a key finding from ADI’s recent long-term forecast. Other fuels face a turbulent market today as gasoline demand is weak and diesel shows modest growth. On the contrary, jet fuel is a bright spot in the energy sector. The aviation sector’s recovery is the primary driver behind this surge. Demand for jet […]

ADI Analytics has just published our global diesel demand forecast. While the long-term outlook for gasoline is characterized by significant regional divergence, it is clear that diesel is here to stay. After a period of relative stagnation since 2015, global diesel demand is projected to grow well through 2045. This resilient growth trajectory, faster than the pace […]

In the August 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter, U.S. shale expertise is highlighted as a driving force behind global growth in unconventional oil and gas. Natural gas and LNG have become central to energy strategies worldwide, influenced by AI, data centers, energy security, and reshoring. Moreover, the plastics industry is rapidly evolving toward sustainability […]

The U.S. oil and gas industry is seeing a renewed interest in refracturing (refracs), a process that re-stimulates existing wells to boost productivity. This is especially true as Tier 1 drilling locations become harder to find. Refracs aren’t new, but recent technological advancements and compelling economics are making them a vital part of operators’ strategies. […]

We recently wrote about litigation around produced water and its critical mineral content. That is not the only lawsuit surrounding water management. Shale independent Stateline Operating is seeking $180 million in damages from operator Devon Energy and water treatment services provider Aris Water Solutions. It alleges that the large volume of wastewater injection led to contamination […]

The U.S. refining industry has undergone rapid transformation in recent years, driven by shifting market conditions, evolving regulations, and increasing reliance on export markets. In response, American refineries have adapted with speed and flexibility to remain competitive in an evolving dynamic environment. To keep pace with a rapidly evolving refining landscape, industry stakeholders need data […]

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 […]
