Large stand-off magnetometry (LSM) market assessment

ADI conducted detailed market research for a non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, analyzing its application in difficult-to-pig subsea flowlines. The work evaluated the competitive landscape between established tools like pulsed eddy current and startups using magnetometry tomographic methods. Global asset growth rates and ROV inspection speeds were modeled to estimate a market size and develop an outlook over a 10-year period.

Venture capital firm

Uncertainty regarding the addressable market size and competitive landscape for a new NDT technology in subsea pipelines.

Contribution icon 1

Identified the addressable market and segmenting it by pipeline material, diameter, and function.

Contribution icon 2

Evaluated LSM against six proven NDT methods, categorizing competitors into generalized and comprehensive detection tools.

Contribution icon 3

Researched three magnetometry startups, assessing their patent holdings, origins, and progress toward complete commercialization.

Contribution icon 4

Applied Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis to account for variability in growth rates, inspection frequency, and ROV speeds.

  • Prioritization of commercialization efforts toward small-diameter steel flowlines in North America and the North Sea.
Client Results
ADI was a great partner for validating our business strategy. Had we proceeded without their involvement, our strategy would have been incorrect. They ensured our product development remained in line with current market trends.

CO2 conversion pathways techno-economic assessment

ADI prioritized nine CO2​-to-value pathways, ranging from carbon mineralization for cement to electrochemical routes for circular fuels. The work assessed the energy intensity and technology readiness of photocatalysis and chemo-enzymatic conversion. Analytical modeling of breakeven costs was conducted to identify the most commercially attractive products in the near-term. The client Global investment firm The situation […]

Corrosion monitoring technology assessment

This assessment by ADI evaluated a fixed, wireless sensor network designed for continuous corrosion monitoring across hazardous upstream, refining, and chemical assets. Analytical modeling incorporated scale-driven reductions to project revenue over a 10-year period. The study surfaced trade-offs between system mobility and the high installation costs of competing fiber optic or electrical resistance probes. The […]

Hydrogen electrolyzer cost benchmarking and outlook

ADI assessed the cost competitiveness of alkaline, proton exchange membrane (PEM), and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) electrolyzers, focusing on the capex variations globally. The work detailed the cost outlook of stack components like bipolar plates and catalyst-coated membranes over a 10-year period. Levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) modeling was used to demonstrate variations in […]

Low-carbon cement technology and start-up landscape

This study assessed 11 early-stage startups and five decarbonization pathways, including CCUS and clinker substitution, to reach net-zero cement by 2050. ADI modeled CO2​ reduction costs, technology readiness, commercial maturity, adoption outlook, and growth potential across North America and Europe. The client Venture capital firm The situation Strategic ambiguity regarding which low-carbon cement technologies to […]

Sustainable aviation fuel technology and supply outlook

ADI explored the recovery of global jet fuel demand post-COVID-19. The study analyzed seven ASTM-approved SAF pathways to identify the pathway that will dominate supply and/or offer the greatest decarbonization potential over the long term. Cost analysis was conducted to assess drivers of SAF costs compared to conventional jet fuel. The client Venture capital firm […]

U.S. upstream oil and gas production IoT market

ADI evaluated the adoption of predictive analytics and IIoT offerings among independent North American operators.
