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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
