Currently there are a number of problems in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) connected with energy supply to remote residential areas and industrial facilities. Taking into account the logistical difficulties of gasification of remote settlements…
The emergence of natural gas as an abundant, inexpensive fuel in the U.S. raises the possibility that expanding natural gas infrastructure could enable a transition to other low carbon fuels. We assess how California's existing fuels policies…
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…
Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is a potentially green energy resource for the future. Five trial production experiments of marine NGH have been carried out worldwide. However, the currently widely used drilling method has poor economic applicability, and…
In this research, we utilize Southern California (SoCal) natural gas transmission pipelines and underground storage resources for transporting and storing hydrogen gas for a 100% renewable energy penetration. The goal is to determine to what extent…
The new scenario involving the rapid energy supply transition from oil-based to natural gas-based undoubtedly affects the future carbon capture and storage (CCS) and offers an opportunity for the use of natural gas hydrates (NGHs). NGHs account for…
Natural gas currently represents close to a third of U.S. primary energy consumption and has often been described as a bridge fuel in the context of the ongoing energy transition. As coal plants are retired and the share of variable renewable…
One of the main environmental problems in oil production in the world today is the utilization of associated petroleum gas (APG) by combustion it in flares. At the same time, this process has enormous economic damage, since APG is a potential raw…
1 Scope This document specifies requirements for and gives guidance on the application of life cycle costing to create value for the development activities and operations associated with drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum,…
Hydrates generation-blockage in submarine natural gas pipelines has always been related to the safety of deepwater natural gas production and transportation. However, the current hydrate formation risk prediction in subsea pipelines is still…
Natural Gas Infrastructure is an integral component of our economic and societal development. This in recent times, has drawn global investments and continues to be a major backbone to the world energy mix. Analysis of the data shows a financial and…
It is a recurrent decimal that conventional transportation fuel is becoming a scarce commodity in Nigeria. Owing to Oil refineries producing below designed capacity and not meeting with demand for transportation fuel in the country. This has been…
Due to advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, the abundance of inexpensive natural gas has revolutionized the energy industry. As the world population increases, natural gas will play a prominent role in satisfying new energy…
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…
To solve the problems of excessive CO2 emission and low resource utilization, which exist in the original hydrogen production process that occurs in an oil refinery, the original natural gas steam reforming process is improved by proposing a new…
Natural gas is an environmentally friendly energy resource and it is of central importance to remove acid gases (e.g. H2S and CO2) from natural gas. In this study, we computationally screen 6013 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the simultaneous…
Injecting CO2 into the hydrate reservoirs to replace CH4 is an effective method for the natural gas hydrate (NGH) exploitation and CO2 sequestration. The accurate prediction of the CH4 recovery factor under different pressures, temperatures, and CO2…
The deepwater drilling and cementing techniques achieved significant development in recent years. However, the engineering response mechanism of natural gas hydrate sediment (NGHS) during drilling and cementing process is far from clear, which…
The thermal energy conversion of natural gas (NG) using appropriate configuration cycles represents one of the best nonrenewable energy resources because of its high heating value and low environmental effects. The natural gas can be converted to…
Annually billions of cubic meters of natural gas are flared around the globe at various oil and gas production sites. Natural gas flaring practices waste valuable energy resources that can be used for economic support and will also be beneficial to…
Natural Gas Hydrate (NGH) and Hydrate-bearing Sediments (HBS) are emerging as an important potential energy resource. Radial Jet Drilling (RJD) technology, turning sharply in the casing and drilling laterals by using water jet, is a valid approach to…
One of the main environmental problems in oil production in the world today is the utilization of associated petroleum gas (APG) by combustion it in flares. At the same time, this process has enormous economic damage, since APG is a potential raw…
The role of natural gas in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and advancing renewable energy resource integration is undoubtedly critical. With the progress of hydrocarbons exploration and production, the target zones become deeper and the…
