Part of ADI Analytics’ ongoing coverage of the implications of the Iran conflict across oil & gas, LNG, refined products, and chemicals. The global energy landscape has been fundamentally altered by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Following the onset of hostilities on February 28, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz remains functionally impaired, stranding […]

In the March 2026 edition, ADI examines how the Iran conflict has tightened global oil and gas markets, shifting expectations from oversupply to heightened geopolitical risk. We also highlight why the impact is even more significant in LNG, where uncertainty is reshaping trade flows, pricing, and supply security. In U.S. power markets, Texas continues to […]

In April 2024, Technip Energies’ Loading Systems business launched a new generation of fully electric and automated loading arms designed for LNG, ammonia, and liquid CO₂ service. Subsequent project activity—across LNG export terminals and emerging cryogenic applications—reinforces a broader shift observed in LNG infrastructure markets: as capacity expands, operators and equipment suppliers are placing greater […]

At the 2026 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI, provided a cross-segment outlook on the energy and chemical value chains. He highlighted the firm’s focus on the strategic interfaces between upstream production, global gas markets, and power generation, emphasizing how infrastructure and geopolitical shifts are reshaping global commodity flows. Key themes included a shift […]

Geopolitical developments over the weekend have renewed interest in Venezuela’s oil industry and what they may mean for global oil markets. The long arc of the Venezuelan oil industry is visible in Exhibit 1, where production fell from ~3.5 MMb/d in the 1970s to ~1.1 MMb/d by 2025. Exhibit 1 also shows Venezuelan crude oil […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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. […]
