The government says its strengthened Water Bill will remove statutory restrictions on state share ownership, adding a new option to the sector’s restructuring debate.
The 0.8 mtpa agreement extends the return of long-duration contracting in global LNG and gives Petrobras another tool for managing spot-market exposure.
A final investment decision on the Kitimat expansion commits Canada to a much larger role in Pacific LNG trade.
Italy’s Eni has capped petrol and diesel prices for a month as governments and suppliers confront renewed pressure from high energy costs.

The race to build AI data centres is turning electricity, water use and local consent into hard constraints on digital growth.
Singapore-based HANSUN brings water treatment, pollution-control and gas-generation equipment into the conversation around safer, cleaner LNG and tanker operations.
On Norway's Gastech pavilion, Aize and ECOnnect Energy tell two very different technology stories that meet at the same problem: how to make complex energy infrastructure easier to understand, build and operate.
On the Norway pavilion in Bangkok, Aize is putting a practical question at the centre of industrial digitalisation: can engineers get from a complex physical asset to the information they need without fighting through disconnected systems?
The transition to lower-carbon shipping is often discussed in terms of fuels. BlueSoul and Torgy LNG are working on the less visible engineering problem: how those fuels are stored, contained and delivered safely aboard ships.
Kobelco's presence on the Gastech floor connects a century of compressor engineering with two demanding cryogenic markets: today's LNG carriers and the emerging liquid-hydrogen supply chain.
At Gastech in Bangkok, Alfa Laval’s stand is a reminder that some of the energy transition’s hardest gains come from better heat transfer, separation and fluid handling.
The hardware at the Jiuli stand is less conspicuous than AI or LNG megaprojects, but it addresses one of energy engineering’s permanent problems: choosing materials that survive pressure, temperature and corrosive service.
A detailed plant model on the Cryogas Industries stand points to the hardware behind LNG: storage, vaporisation, transport and regasification.
The company’s Bangkok pitch is not AI as a chatbot. It is AI as an optimisation engine for the moving parts of an LNG portfolio: vessels, cargoes, contracts, market prices, risk and scheduling.
A live AixEnergy panel at Gastech in Bangkok is confronting the security problem behind autonomous energy: when software can influence physical operations, a cyber incident is no longer only an information-security event.

The Stratawire met Dubai-based Kekst CNC partner Ben Curson at Gastech. His work sits in a part of the energy economy that rarely appears on a process diagram: what companies say, who they say it to and how they protect trust when the stakes are high.

The state’s pavilion brings LNG investment, flare-gas recovery and oil-spill response together beneath one ambitious claim: “The future of global energy is built in Louisiana.”
Hilong Group is among the international oilfield service companies represented at Gastech 2026, bringing experience from drilling and energy projects across Asia and beyond.
The South Korean LNG technology specialist is in Bangkok as the industry looks for faster, more flexible ways to build import, storage and regasification infrastructure.

The artificial-intelligence boom is becoming a vast infrastructure-finance problem. The winners may be decided by who can secure power, grid access and patient capital before the technology moves on.
At Gastech in Bangkok, Chennai-based SHS Machines is making the case that valve testing is no longer just about pressure. It is increasingly about proving exactly what happened during the test.

The Global Energy Exhibition & Congress Vietnam will bring policy, capital and technology to Hanoi from 24 to 26 February 2027. The timing could hardly be more exciting.
Corrosion rarely gets the headline at an energy conference. But for operators trying to keep ageing pipelines, platforms and terminals working safely, it is one of the stories that actually matters.
