Natural gas pipeline delays threaten AI data center project progress! Oracle (ORCL.US) deploys a "trucking natural gas" strategy to ensure power supply
智通财经2026/10/09 00:51According to Jinse Finance, Oracle (ORCL.US) is adopting a novel power supply strategy—transporting natural gas directly by truck to its server parks to ensure that multiple data center projects proceed as planned. Sources reveal that while Oracle awaits the construction and connection of natural gas pipelines to relevant equipment, trucking natural gas has enabled a data center in suburban Salt Lake City to make steady progress for over a year. One source noted that the company is also employing this method at a campus in Shackelford County, Texas, which is being built for OpenAI, to advance the project's initial construction phase.

India's IT Service Industry Growth Slows; Analysts Say AI Transformation Projects Offer New Support
After Tata Consultancy Services released its earnings, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra are set to follow with their own financial reports. Analysts noted that clients remain cautious towards non-essential technology projects, with industry growth expected to stay sluggish. However, recent results from Accenture indicate that spending is not simply shrinking but is shifting towards large-scale transformation projects led by AI. On Thursday, Tata Consultancy Services reported profit growth surpassing market expectations, but its revenue increased by only 0.5% quarter-on-quarter at constant currency. According to Nuvama, “Over the past nine months, the IT sector has significantly underperformed the broader market, mainly due to negative sentiment created by generative AI platform companies, along with uncertainty related to the Gulf War. We continue to believe that the IT services model will persist in the long term, and the disruption brought by generative AI will only create greater opportunities for these companies.”
