Demand for gas is rising in the U.S., largely due to data centres and LNG exports. But with cheap acreage exhausted, gas prices will need to rise in the years to come

The Middle East crisis has boosted interest in developing more of Africa’s oil and gas resources, but the obstacles remain considerable and the continent may struggle to capitalise on this opportunity.

Renewables are cheaper than gas-fired power plants, even without subsidies, a new study finds. Demand has risen for gas power, but cost inflation has hit the sector.

Batteries could displace costly LNG imports for Japan. But market and regulatory reforms are needed.

Botswana secured $100 million to build its first 100-megawatt solar plant, positioning the nation as a regional energy supplier.

In response to LNG disruptions, the Japanese government has moved to run dirty coal plants more often. But in the long run, nuclear restarts could suppress LNG demand.

The Iran war and the chaos it has inflicted on global energy stability, supply and pricing are a stark reminder of Europe’s risky gas reliance, analysts have warned.

The U.S. Supreme Court shot down Trump’s use of tariffs. What does that mean for the LNG trade?

As regulatory scrutiny and operational costs continue to rise in the oil and gas sector, many operators are adopting predictive corrosion monitoring, writes Dauren Kazimbek from SMARTCORR.

Gas detection remains central to the energy industry’s future, not a relic of its past, says Jodi Downing, a director at R.C. Systems.

Inefficiencies in compressed air systems result in significant, avoidable emissions, writes Jeffry Kahn, President of CAM Technologies.
