In 2025, the U.S. midstream oil and gas industry is expected to see growth opportunities, tied to rising hydrocarbon exports with new pipelines and export capacity planned to alleviate bottlenecks. Key trends to look out for include the following: Download ADI’s 2025 Midstream Outlook ADI Analytics is a prestigious, boutique consulting firm specializing in oil […]
Can natural gas pipelines handle hydrogen?
Hydrogen is emerging as a promising option to decarbonize power generation, transportation, and other industries. One of the most significant barriers to scaling up hydrogen use is the lack of a transportation network. Currently, hydrogen is transported via high-pressure tube trailers and liquefied hydrogen tankers, but these methods are not economically feasible for large-scale and […]
The Middle East’s gas boom: A new era of energy
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 […]
Technical service contracts vs. production sharing contracts: A tale of two models
The choice between technical service contracts (TSCs) and production sharing contracts (PSCs) can significantly impact the development of a country’s oil and gas industry. Technical service contracts (TSCs) are agreements where a company provides technical expertise and services to the state-owned oil company in exchange for a fee. This model can be particularly attractive when […]
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, […]
Natural gas goes to Six Flags
ADI has been reporting about struggling natural gas prices over the past year. U.S. natural gas prices have been on a rollercoaster again this year despite the country emerging as the top LNG exporter globally. Henry Hub benchmark prices started at $3.18 per MMBtu in the beginning of this year but fell to $1.49 per […]
Voluntary Carbon Markets Part 1: The growing pains of a young market
The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is a dynamic space brimming with potential to combat climate change. It facilitates the trade of carbon credits, each representing one ton of verified CO2 equivalent emissions reduction. Companies and individuals can purchase these credits to offset their unavoidable emissions and contribute to climate action. However, like any nascent market, the VCM is experiencing growing […]
Is GTL making a comeback?
Natural gas prices are hitting rock bottom, with Henry Hub averaging a mere $1.49 in March 2024, the lowest monthly average since 1997. Shale operators are responding by curtailing production. Chesapeake, a leading producer, started the trend with cuts announced in early March. Other companies like Coterra Energy, Comstock Resources, EQT, and CNX Resources have followed suit, reducing drilling activity or implementing production curtailments. ADI anticipates […]
Key drivers for SCR systems for NOx removal
Traditional power plants produce a mix of toxic gases as they burn fuels such as coal and natural gas for power. These emissions include greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and acid rain-forming oxides of sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx). NOx can cause severe respiratory problems, stimulate algae growth in waterways decreasing water […]
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 […]
