Some emerging countries, such as Brazil, have large remaining natural gas resources but relatively poor infrastructure to monetize it. When most of the natural gas extraction derives from associated gas, this results in high reinjection rates in…
Carbon neutral solutions are demanded to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the mobility sector. In Brazil, alongside bioethanol, natural gas and biogas are potential solutions towards a low carbon future. While Brazilian natural gas…
This paper presents an integrated long-term expansion planning model that considers the interdependency of natural gas and electricity infrastructures. The integrated planning problem determined the least-cost planning schedule of candidate…
North America is experiencing a boom in crude oil supply, primarily due to growing production in the Canadian oil sands and the recent expansion of shale oil production from the Bakken fields in North Dakota and Montana as well as the Eagle Ford and…

Over the last decades, electricity generation from natural gas has substantially increased, mostly driven by low natural gas prices due to fracturing and lower extraction costs. The geographic distance between natural gas resources and load centers…
Renewable energy sources (RESs) are considered as the key component towards the decarbonization of power network. Nevertheless, the lack of controllability and the unpredictable behaviour of the output power from most of the RES technologies…
Storing CO2 in geological formations is an important component of reducing greenhouse gases emissions. The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) industry is now in its establishing phase, and if successful, massive storage volumes would be needed. It will…
The production and storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is gradually becoming larger and more intensive, which greatly increases the risk of the domino effect of an explosion accident in a storage tank area while improving production and…
The liquefaction process is one of the key technologies of offshore FLNG device and is charged by patent protection of a few companies. Because of special offshore operational environment, the choice of FLNG liquefaction process is different from…
The paper provides a brief description of the Python programming language, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. It considers a practical task to be solved for the oil and gas industry and ways to solve it through the Python capabilities. It…
Wellbore integrity was a thorny issue in China since hundreds of thousands of wells needed to be repaired annually, leading to cost increase and production delay. This problem became more excruciating in the long horizontal wellbore considering the…
