Liquefied natural gas

petroleum and natural gas from this region. Due to technological innovations in the industry, the political developments in these countries surrounding Southeast Asia and the arising of Japan as a hotspot for petroleum trade operations led that nowadays Southeast Asia has become the most active area of offshore exploration in the world (Wikipedia 2014). Nowadays in the Southeast Asian area the daily production of oil is at least 1.3 Million barrels and the production per year of natural gas is…

Introduction Now, Australia urgently faces the resource issue. In this issue, Coal seam gas (CSG) has been focused for new resource. Australia has large reserves of CSG in high permeability reservoirs is one of the reason. By the way, CSG has been met with a mixture of praise and criticism that consideration should be made with regards to sustainability and how effect on Australian community or environment. Definition of ‘fracking’ Fracking is shorthand for the drilling of hydraulic fracturing.…

Coal and Coal Seam Production and Use in Australia. Coal and coal seam gas (CSG) are both naturally occurring resources. They are both extracted from the ground by mining. Coal is burned to produce electricity in huge power plants. CSG can be cooled to produce liquefied natural gas, or the methane gas can used to power electricity generators. The mining of coal in order to produce electricity has advantages and disadvantages, which divide the opinions of society. The same can be said for the…

mature technology. Of the two main fossils fuels used, natural gas offers the best economics and efficiencies and is the main pathway used to generate hydrogen nowadays, mainly for the production of ammonia and methanol. The other, being coal, can also be used to produce hydrogen but the initial investment is much greater and the efficiency is lower compared to when natural gas is used. Coal can be economically favourable when compared with natural gas for its lower feedstock cost [$1.26 per GJ…

extractor of natural gas. Gazprom is based in Russia in 1989 when the Soviet Ministry of Gas Industry converted into a corporation. Gazprom is a global energy company and majors in lines such as geological exploration, production, transportation, storage, processing and sales of gas, and many others. Gazprom also holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves where they hold 14 and 74 percent of the global and Russian gas respectively. They are also one of the pioneers of transporting liquefied…

TPP is passed the involvement of exporting fossil fuel gases such as LNG, liquefied natural gas, will lead to disrupting the climate for years to come (3). With increased exports of LNG, the issues of fracking will lead to an even higher rate of pollution of water and air. In addition, In A Dirty Deal, scientists have stated that fossil fuel need to stay in the ground or it will destroy the earth. TPP would give natural gas industries more business in the United States by letting them export…

Coal seam gas (CSG), also known as coal bed methane (CBM), is a naturally occurring methane gas found in most coal seams. The extraction of CSG involves drilling wells into the coal seams and bringing water from the seams to the surface. This process reduces the pressure in the seams and allows the gas to be released from pores (Lacey and Lamont, 2014). The growing environmental and health risks associated with coal seam gas fracking production has the potential to generate considerable gas…

Introduction Natural gas hydrate (NGH) has been considered as a possible alternative for transporting natural gas because of its lower capital cost when comparing with liquefied natural gas (Javanmardi, et al., 2005). Methane is the main component in natural gas (Engineering Data Book, 2004). Therefore, improving the formation of methane hydrate could help to further improve the NGH. A gas hydrate has a structure like a cage. The hydrogen-bonded water molecules are the line of the cage and the…

The foreseeable future highlights various alternative sources of energy with potential to reduce emissions and supplant heavy fuel oil (HFO) in two-stroke diesel engines. The possible alternatives are liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, biogas and biofuels such as straight vegetable oil and biodiesel. Straight vegetable oils are promising and an appropriate alternative due to being safe with a higher flash point than diesel, offering a smaller carbon footprint…

biggest oil and Gas Company in today’s oil and gas industry. It has two parent companies one being transport and trading (Shell Wikipedia, 2017) and other which I am interested and going to talk about is called as Royal Dutch petroleum company known as SHELL. Since last few decades gas exploration and production has become an important portfolio of Shell's business. Shell has acquired British Gas Group in year 2016 thus making it the world's largest producer of liquefied natural gas also known…
