The Middle East, long recognized for its vast oil reserves, is now experiencing a significant shift towards natural gas. Driven by soaring domestic demand, global energy security concerns, and the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, several key countries in the region are embarking on ambitious gas development projects. Rising demand and production The region’s […]

New gas pipelines alleviate bottlenecks
The U.S. natural gas sector is witnessing another transformation and ready for growth even if limited in pipeline infrastructure primarily as a way to prepare for increasing demand for natural gas and, meanwhile, addressing transportation constraints. Last year alone, new pipelines with a combined capacity of ~7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) came online, […]
How oil and gas companies are decarbonizing exploration and production
In a previous blog post, we discussed the difficulties of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the chemical industry. Similar challenges also exist in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the upstream sector, which is known for being one of the most difficult sectors to reduce GHG emissions. According to the International Energy Agency […]
Back to the pavilion: Steady growth of investments in offshore oil and gas and LNG
Recent decisions by governments and energy companies highlight a growing focus on energy security over energy transition. South Korea, a leading importer of fossil fuels and home to some of the largest chemical companies in Asia Pacific, recently commissioned geophysical exploration that showed likelihood of 14 billion barrels of oil and gas off the coast […]
Refineries improving margins through better utilization of off-gas streams
Hydrocarbon-rich off-gas streams from distillation, conversion, cracking, and other processes are collected to heat various processes throughout refineries and petrochemical plants. Examples of these off-gas streams include still gas, the top product from a refinery’s distillation column, and steam cracker tail gas, which is composed mostly of methane and hydrogen. Aggregation of these off-gas streams […]
Potential unleashed: More gas pipeline takeaway capacity in Haynesville
The Haynesville Basin is set to see three new pipeline projects in 2023. Two of them will be to enhance the capacity of preexisting pipelines, while the other one will be an entirely new pipeline. If everything goes as anticipated, these three projects will cumulatively increase the play’s gas takeaway capacity by 2.35 billion cubic […]
Hot spots in oil and gas exploration
Oil and gas prices were relatively high in 2022, although they have come down significantly from their highs reached last summer. Despite the drop, oil prices have remained higher than what we have seen for the last seven years, and natural gas was at level not seen in over a decade. Even with these prices, […]
2023 Upstream Oil & Gas Outlook: Tight supply and little growth
Upstream oil and gas fared well in 2022. Despite oil prices falling over 30% from their summer highs, oil and gas prices remain elevated, with WTI prices over $70 per barrel and natural gas at prices not seen since 2008. Net income in 2022 is expected to double from 2021 for oil and gas producers, […]
Innovation Needs in Shale Gas
North American shale gas is an unequivocal success story. Starting from one percent of all natural gas supply in 2000 to more than one-third in 2012 no other form of energy has capture market share as rapidly as shale gas has in history. Even so, the industry faces a number of challenges across the value […]
Benchmarking Shale Gas Monetization Options
Natural gas prices in North America will not recover unless there is new demand to offset the growing supply from shale gas resources. New demand could be created through gas-fired power plants, LNG exports, gas to liquids and chemicals, and transportation. Each of these options impacts investor returns and overall gas demand differently, and assessing […]
