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.

Uday Turaga, leveraging ADI Analytics’ research and consulting experience, discussed oil prices and their impact on U.S. shale oil production.

The North American oil and gas sector experienced a decade of transformative shifts, notably the surge in unconventional production. This resulted in substantial increases in oil, natural gas, and NGL supply, concurrently driving significant investment across the value chain due to the increased supply chain reliance inherent in unconventional production.

EU policies and initiatives, such as TEN-T and the LNG Masterplan, are driving the development of LNG bunkering infrastructure in Europe, offering potential lessons for the United States to promote domestic LNG demand and infrastructure.

LNG is now being exported from both U.S. Gulf and East costs. How will exports from the west coast fare? We take a quick look at the cost competitiveness of U.S. LNG from all coasts.

LNG marine adoption is slow due to high costs, price uncertainty, and limited bunkering, despite emissions and fuel benefits.

With LNG bunkering infrastructure established, identifying early vessel adopters requires evaluating LNG’s fuel advantages and disadvantages, and a simplified vessel classification.
