Natural gas liquids (NGLs) in shale gas are the predominant feedstock for light olefin production. Conventionally, NGLs are separated from CH4 and then fractionated into individual components before these components go through either steam cracking…
CO2 is one of the major contaminants in natural gas produced from the reservoir. Many gas fields are not monetized due to the presence of high levels of CO2 in the natural gas reservoir (in some locations, as high as 80%). SNG (solidified natural…
The installation of dummy valves with the initial well completion for gas lifting wells has been a popularpractise in the industry. These dummy valves provide a barrier between the annulus and the tubing duringthe well completion phase to the test…
It's very common now that more and more offshore oil fields are found with high CO2 content. In certain offshore new oil field development project in South China Sea, the CO2 content is about 95%(mole) in several oil wells, so it meets with huge…
Wind power generation is an attractive renewable energy technology that promotes the reduction of greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, the inherent alternating nature of wind power affects the stability of the grid as it results in frequency variations,…
The increase in energy demand needs to be met with environmentally friendly resources to lower the production of greenhouse gases. Solar power is a popular choice as it is available in abundance and is relatively cheap. However, the large-scale…
Heavy oil reservoirs contain a large amount of hydrocarbons that are relatively difficult to produce and lift to the surface due to the very low mobility of these heavy oils. Even after producing these heavy oils, transportation problems arise as…
It's very common now that more and more offshore oil fields are found with high CO2 content. In certain offshore new oil field development project in South China Sea, the CO2 content is about 95%(mole) in several oil wells, so it meets with huge…
• It proposes a stochastic model of two-stage that integrates electric power systems. • Presents a mixed integer linear programming model and a reduction algorithm. • Effects that have been not properly considered in the literature are studied. • An…
The existing cogeneration systems on offshore petroleum platforms face clashing targets intrinsic to offshore applications, namely, weight, area, cost and efficiency. Moreover, the prolonged offdesign operating conditions during their lifetime…
The present study aims to develop a bi-objective mathematical model to determine risk-based inspection programs for reducing the total costs as well as the risk arisen. The main objective of this paper is to determine the number and type of…
The oil and gas industry has paid increasing attention to energy consumption and is taking steps to reduce emissions owing to growing environmental concerns. In this study, a method for designing the optimization of crude oil pipelines is proposed to…
