It is becoming more widely accepted that hydrogen could become an important energy carrier in the quest for sustainability because it offers several benefits related particularly to the potential for energy storage. Natural gas pipelines can…
Different from the conventional, unconventional natural gas accumulations have obvious particularity in reservoir forming conditions, enrichment mechanism, distribution modes, prediction method and exploration technology. Analyzing the reservoir…
With the end of economic production in sight, the oil and gas industry is preparing for the decommissioning of the offshore facilities. Beside of removing the infrastructure, there are numerous possibilities for its future use. Paper analyses…
The production of Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) can be a key component of indigenous energy supply towards a low carbon future. In the present work, state of the art catalytic processes for SNG production based on CO and CO2 methanation are presented.…
Power to Methane (PtM) processes directly coupled with renewables are limited by their ability to handle uncertainties caused by the intermittent nature of the power supply and fluctuations in gas demand as well as electricity prices. Continuous…
Liquefaction and then transportation to the market is one of the promising options for the utilization of associated natural gas resources which are produced in oil fields. However, the flow of such resources is normally unsteady. Additionally, the…
We developed an innovative tool to support the simulation of gas dispersion from liquefied natural gas pools in presence of obstacles. For the first time, the systematic evaluation of the influence of atmospheric stability conditions and the…
Rapid response to underground natural gas leaks could mitigate methane emissions and reduce risks to the environment, human health and safety. Identification of large, potentially hazardous leaks could have environmental and safety benefits,…
This paper presents an analysis of the power to gas installation as an exemplary solution of a system storing excess electricity from renewable energy sources. The installation contains an integrated module of the electrolysis process, used for…
The energy system analysis of an integrated process producing synthetic natural gas (SNG) from woody biomass has been carried out. Two different process configurations have been proposed and modeled, considering the integration between biomass…
The carbon footprint of synthetic natural gas production from biogas catalytic methanation was determined. The material and energy data inputs required to produce 1 kWh of synthetic natural gas were experimentally collected from a pilot plant…
The main goal of this paper is to assess and compare three hybrid systems for the production of synthetic natural gas (biomethane) from biogas or process gas. Mathematical models were built to determine the main performance indicators and plant…
