Pipeline & Gas Journal’s annual survey of pipeline construction activity provides a unique snapshot of project mileage in development or under construction on a global and regional basis, along with insights into key market drivers influencing midstream investment decisions in the new year.

In this webcast, Editor-in-Chief Michael Reed and Executive Editor Jeff Awalt will share key findings from Pipeline & Gas Journal’s 2021 Global Pipeline Construction Report, discuss the outlook for midstream recovery in a post-pandemic era, and review some of the key infrastructure projects that are now underway on a region-by-region basis. 

In addition, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in this interactive webcast by submitting questions in real time during a live Q&A session with Pipeline & Gas Journal editors.

As the world’s economy works to recover from the demand destruction seen over this past year, the research team from Global Energy Infrastructure will look at how the refinery and petrochemical industries have worked to survive and progress. In this webcast the team will review the following:

• The energy transition and its effect on the current industry
• Existing refinery futures
• Projects on the horizon
• Integrated projects
• Regional lockdowns
• Emerging technologies

In addition, the team will cover how different regions are working through the pandemic in unique and varying ways including, to government restrictions, industry demand changes and other factors.

In the midst of the energy transition, hydrogen stands apart as a versatile alternative fuel, which can be utilized in a wide range of situations. Join the Gulf Energy Information research team as they review the following:

• the current state of the hydrogen market
• assess the development status of key projects around  the globe
• discuss the policies and regulatory factors shaping the future development of this vital market segment.

With researchers based in London, Houston and Mumbai, Gulf Energy Information is your market intelligence source for the international energy industry, with project insights covering Hydrogen, Gas Processing/LNG, Refining/Petrochemicals, Renewables and Oil & Gas Pipelines.

Over the past several years, the world has witnessed significant downstream capacity growth in all sectors of the downstream hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). However, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected global demand for transportation fuels and petrochemical products, as well as capital spending. Although the HPI has had a rough start to 2020, refined products and petrochemicals demand is forecast to increase in the future. To satisfy increasing demand for refined fuels, petrochemicals and natural gas, every region is investing to increase downstream processing capacity. With more than $1.9 T in announced projects globally, it is imperative that HPI companies receive the most up-to-date and valid information on market trends, and the future development of the downstream processing industry. 

During this live webcast, Lee Nichols will provide a mid-year update on capital projects around the world, as well as major economic, environmental and political market trends that are shaping and influencing the industry in the near-term.

The science behind the hydrogen economy has been around for many years, but only now are the necessary real-world factors coming together to support its implementation. Is this the right time to start building a hydrogen economy?

Governments, companies and electorates are increasingly viewing hydrogen as the most workable solution to the challenge set by the Paris Agreement. It offers huge potential gains over fossil fuels for power and transport and in terms of supporting renewables in power grids and storing energy. The challenge is how to make it all economically viable. 

The expert panel will discuss the progress made in developing a hydrogen economy and the challenges that remain. It will cover:

• The potential pathways to a hydrogen economy
• Legal and regulatory issues for developing a new market
• Capital market funding and investor perspectives
• Technological developments and cost reduction

Asia drives global LNG demand. Robust demand for cleaner-burning fuel in Asian countries amid rapid population growth, improvements to living standards, and general economic advancement provide a context for sustained LNG import capacity investment.

LNG exporters to Asia have a slew of challenges to contend with, however, including the prospects for project sanction delays and other demand-side factors impacted by global health scares, relative economic underperformance, and trade disputes and wars. The continued drop in global natural gas prices continues to constrain prospects.

Asian LNG prices reached extremely low levels in the 1Q of 2020 amid a glut of global natural gas production and the start of additional global export capacity. Less severe winters, increased demand-side efficiencies, and potential new LNG capacity could continue to depress price levels. The prospect of ever-increasing Asian LNG demand prompted massive capacity investment in both upstream developments and midstream infrastructure. The factors may come as a boon to demand centers, but operators with oil-linked contracts are at a disadvantage.

This webcast describes the key drivers, challenges, and impacts of Asian LNG capacity investment to 2025 and an examination of the implications for a variety of far-reaching factors. We look at the effects of potential oil-linked vs. hub-based pricing in the Asian project economics context, highlight critical factors supporting or inhibiting project progression, and provide a five-year outlook on anticipated capacity expansion for key Asian LNG import nations, including China, Japan, India, and South Korea.
