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, […]
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 […]
2024 LNG Outlook: Growing stability yet uncertainty in the global LNG market
The ripples in the global LNG markets induced by geopolitical conflict seemed to have died down and greater import and export capacity coupled with continued growth in the share of renewable energy will result in a relatively stable yet uncertain LNG market in 2024. Key trends to look out for include the following: Global LNG […]
Haynesville shale’s growing competitiveness
The Haynesville shale has emerged as a major natural gas play in recent years. Natural gas production from the Haynesville shale reached a new record high of 14.5 Bcf/d in 2023, accounting for 14% of all U.S. dry natural gas production. Haynesville production growth has accounted for 40% of the U.S. gas production growth recently. […]
Cost optimization in the shale patch
Leading shale operators from oil majors such as ExxonMobil and Chevron to the E&P independents including ConocoPhillips, Pioneer, Oxy, and Diamondback have committed to growing production without compromising returns and sustainability. Achieving this aspiration will require significant cost optimization where recent ADI research and consulting is showing significant progress by E&P companies. These cost optimization […]
Gas production takeoff: an outlook for the Eagle Ford shale
The effects of the pandemic were evident with a decline in natural gas production during 2020, just when it was expected to grow in 2019. The overall natural gas production from the five major regions in the U.S., namely Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Niobrara, and Anadarko, declined during 2020. Although the output from the Permian […]
2022 Metals and Mining Outlook: Digging deeper into recovery after ‘rocky’ conditions
During these unprecedented times, mining operators are learning to navigate through many challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, mining operators pursued resiliency, investor confidence, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, and capital and operational discipline. Moving forward in 2022, these megatrends will still be relevant to the mining industry with some added complexities […]
2022 LNG Outlook: Streaming into the roaring twenties
The global LNG market showed strong even if tumultuous growth during 2021. Demand rebounded post-COVID driven by easing restrictions, a long and cold winter, and intensifying decarbonization efforts. Record-low inventories and damp supply growth resulted in a tight LNG market that will continue well in 2022. China surpassed Japan as the largest buyer of LNG […]
