Geographic concentration, fungibility, and business consequence were applied to narrow priority risks. The analysis addressed constraints on substitution and short‑term mitigation under geopolitical uncertainty. The client Integrated energy company The situation Limited visibility into mineral supply exposure […]

U.S. midstream commercial contract assessment

ADI investigated the structural shift in midstream commercial transactions, specifically the migration from keep-whole to fee-based contractual frameworks. The project involved a deep dive into SEC filings and senior executive interviews to benchmark average remaining contract lives and minimum volume commitments (MVCs) across 18 major operators. Findings surfaced the inherent commodity price risks remaining in […]
