Recently, we discussed LNG bunkering infrastructure across the globe and showed two different ways of building that infrastructure; through onshore and offshore bunkering facilities. If we assume that the LNG bunkering infrastructure will be constructed the next question to ask is “What ships will be most likely to adopt LNG first?” To do this, we […]
Saltwater disposal regulatory outlook
Wastewater management is becoming a critical issue in the growth of unconventional resource plays. Interest in wastewater treatment is driven by growing volumes of produced water from hydraulic fracturing that need disposal. Based on our research there are multiple factors that will impact how oil and gas producers will handle wastewater one of which is […]
Key Issues for U.S. Ethylene Exports
The United States has emerged as a major export hub for various hydrocarbons including crude oil, refined products, natural gas (via LNG and pipelines), and NGLs due to abundant supply driven by the shale boom. For example, Figure 1 shows how export of NGLs has increased about ten times from 131,000 barrels per day in […]
Will private equity cap oil prices?
The general consensus is that oil prices are headed towards some stability in the $60s for the near-term barring major supply disruptions. The OPEC supply cut — far more successful than anticipated thanks to the high levels of compliance as seen in Figure 1 — is now serving as a floor for oil prices. Compliance […]
Shale 2.0: A shift to gas lift
Ever since oil prices plunged in late 2014, operators have had to refocus portfolios and reconsider operational approaches. The portfolio reset has led to growing concentration in the Permian as ADI wrote about recently. Another big shift is occurring in operational approaches as operators tweak “factory drilling” with a data-driven mindset that relies on various […]

Electric Vehicles are Impacting the Mining Industry
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts there will be 157 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030, up from 2 million in 2016. Leading electric vehicle manufacturers, Nissan and Tesla, have already began expanding production capacity as they prepare for a significant increase in sales. Traditional automakers including Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes, are also […]
Can Permian Position the U.S. as the New Swing Producer?
Flying into Midland isn’t quite the same as flying into Bay Area so drawing a parallel between Silicon Valley and the Permian is not easy. Even so, the parallels start emerging after one spends some time visiting operators and oilfield service players as I recently did in the Permian. A wider range of operators, including those with […]
Methanol for Power Generation
The discovery and rapid development of shale gas and unconventional oil plays has dramatically increased the supply of natural gas in North America. This growing natural gas resource can be monetized in several ways including conversion into liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, or other liquid hydrocarbons. Given the promise of new, cheap supply and methanol’s […]
2017 ADI Forum
2017 ADI Forum Tuesday, February 28, 2017 ABB Automation and Power Center, Houston, TX ADI Analytics is organized a one-day forum focused on all options to monetize North American natural gas and NGLs. The shale and unconventional revolution has dramatically increased the supply of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGL) in North America. […]
