The ADI Forum brought together oil and gas majors, E&P and refining independents, chemical players, diversified industrials, licensors, and investors to discuss markets, […]

Ethane is a unique market — it’s the only commodity that can either be sold as a fuel with natural gas or be sent to petrochemical plants as a feedstock. It is this chameleon-like attribute that contributes to ethane’s volatility both in terms of production volume and pricing. Limited demand and rising supply depressed ethane […]

Growing U.S. crude oil production, heavily reliant on Permian output projected to be nearly 50% in two years, faces a major hurdle from insufficient Permian takeaway capacity, causing a substantial price discount.

Produced and flowback water treatment along with sourcing water for fracturing is the new midstream growth opportunity.

U.S. government is facilitating small-scale natural gas exports, driven by economic and environmental factors, leading to project growth despite a multi-stage regulatory approval process.

ADI takes at look at how energy efficient the U.S. economy really is today.

North American refining is busy and making money again with important implications for the sector’s capital spending.

ADI presented at two sessions some of its research and insights based on its consulting work at the 2018 World Gas Conference in Washington, DC last week. The first focused on natural gas use — CNG and LNG, in particular — in the oilfield. U.S. natural gas supply will continue to be cheap and abundant […]

ADI presented at two sessions some of its research and insights based on its consulting work at the 2018 World Gas Conference in Washington, DC last week. The second focused on natural gas-fired power generation. The supply of natural gas is growing globally at 1.6% annually. United States, the world’s largest gas producer, will also […]

ADI Chemical Market Resources (ADI CMR) offers a strategic analysis of polyolefin elastomers (POEs) and plastomers (POPs)—ethylene-based copolymers made using metallocene catalysts. These reactor-based thermoplastic elastomers differ from conventional blends and are widely used in automotive, adhesives, packaging, solar encapsulants, wire & cable, foams, and films. The report examines global market dynamics, technology developments, cost […]

ADI Chemical Market Resources (ADI CMR) conducted a strategic study of the global SBS and SEBS adhesives market, focusing on styrenic block copolymers used in pressure-sensitive, hot-melt, and contact adhesives. SEBS, a hydrogenated form of SBS, offers improved UV and thermal stability, tensile strength, and service temperature. The study examines market dynamics shaped by commoditization, […]

Increased coal and natural gas demand faces challenges due to the economic competitiveness of natural gas in power generation. Substantial declines in natural gas operating costs, driven by lower fuel prices resulting from hydraulic fracturing, contrast with rising coal operational expenses, making coal expansion economically unfavorable.
