Objectives/Scope: With the rise of big data analytics in petroleum engineering, a plethora of data collectors, sensors, transmission devices, and software tools is entering our lives at the personal and professional levels. Data is extracted,…
Although the transportation tends to serve as flexible loads to smooth the energy demand profile, the transportation capacity is far from fully exploited to promote the efficiency of energy systems. Railways can transport a large volume of liquefied…
Natural gas has been attracting increasing attentions all around the world as a relatively cleaner energy resource compared with coal and crude oil. Except for the direct consumption as fuel, electricity generation is now another…
The enormous cost of transporting oil and gas through pipelines and the operational benefits that the industry receives through optimization has incited analysts for decades to find optimization strategies that help pipeline managers operate pipeline…
Compressor units used for long-distance transportation natural gas pipeline pressurization have high-pressure and high-risk characteristics. Hence, the scientific reliability assessment is important for high-pressure compressor units, to evaluate the…
Natural gas transmission networks (NGTNs) are the main facility connecting upstream gas sources and downstream consumers. For a cyclic NGTN with multiple gas transmission routes, different gas transportation schemes will affect not only the energy…
The role of the Caspian Sea in the development of the oil and gas industry for our country and the world is undeniable. The discovery of new fields creates conditions for the development of efficient and modern technologies. The need for energy…
An electric-driven reciprocating compressor set is the main energy-consuming equipment of a natural gas filling station, and the efficiency of a compressor set is one of the key indicators in reasonably characterizing and scientifically evaluating…
The improvement of the normal operating mode in gas compression systems performs an essential role in enhancing the process of pumping and transporting the natural gas inside and outside the border of Algeria. In this regards, this paper introduces a…
When dealing with search for ideal energy production solutions, one of the direction may be the use of hydrogen based on excess electricity. Gaseous state and the existing gas network can be used to deliver it to customers. Quantity of hydrogen in…
The abnormal vibration of natural gas station pipelines seriously threatens the safety of pipeline transportation, and improper handling will cause huge economic losses. For the abnormal vibration of the pipeline, reasonable treatment must be carried…
The flow modes of a vapor-drop mixture in a regasifier-heater of liquefied natural gas are numerically studied on the basis of the model that takes into account polydispersity, power, and thermal interaction of phases, processes of breakup,…
Traditional gas compressibility factor estimation methods such as AGA8-92DC and SGERG-88 usually use overly complex theoretical derivation and corresponding estimation model. This will cost most of the operating memory of the low-power gas flowmeter.…
The GERG-2008 equation is recommended in international standard ISO 20765-2 to calculate the thermodynamic properties of natural gas. Comprehensively evaluating the accuracy of GERG-2008 equation in calculating the compressibility factor, density and…
Gas turbine driven centrifugal compressors often undergo a detailed performance analysis either for the acceptance by the user or to evaluate their existing condition. Often , the tests are conducted at site, where the compressor and its driver must…
The gas compressibility factor, also known as the deviation or Z-factor, is one of the most important parameters in the petroleum and chemical industries involving natural gas, as it is directly related to the density of a gas stream, hence its flow…
An electric-driven reciprocating compressor set is the main energy-consuming equipment of a natural gas filling station, and the efficiency of a compressor set is one of the key indicators in reasonably characterizing and scientifically evaluating…
Performance test provides important information about whether a newly constructed pipeline can achieve the design capacity and transportation efficiency. The field performance test also provides mechanical performance correction factors for…
