Natural gas processing: the crucial link between natural gas production and its transportation to market
free download
The natural gas product fed into the mainline gas transportation system in the United States must meet specific quality measures in order for the pipeline grid to operate properly. Consequently, natural gas produced at the wellhead, which in most cases contains
Hydrates of natural gas
free download
Gas hydrates are clathrate physical compounds, in which the molecules of gas are occluded in crystalline cells, consisting of water molecules retained by the energy of hydrogen bonds. Gas hydrates can be stable over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. All gases can
Natural gas seepage in the Gulf of Mexico
free download
Hydrocarbon compositions and 613C values for methane of fourteen natural seep gases and four underwater vents in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico are reported. The C1/(C2+ C3) ratios of the seep gas samples ranged from 68 to greater than 1000, whereas 13 6PDBC
Effective kinetic inhibitors for natural gas hydrates
free download
Kinetic inhibition is a new means of preventing flow channel blockage by natural gas hydrates. In kinetic inhibition the system is allowed to exist within the hydrate thermodynamic stability zone, so that small crystals are stabilized without agglomerating to larger hydrate
Hydrogen generation from natural gas for the fuel cell systems of tomorrow
free download
In most cases hydrogen is the preferred fuel for use in the present generation of fuel cells being developed for commercial applications. O [all the potential sources of hydrogen, natural gas offers many advantages, it is widely available, clean, and can be converted to

* Cost curves based on 2007 cost bases. North America cost represent wellhead breakeven costs. All curves for regions outside North America represent breakeven costs at export point. Cost curves calculated using 10% real discount rate and ICF Supply Models
Correlation of natural gas by use of carbon isotopic distribution between hydrocarbon components
free download
The natural distribution of carbon isotopes between hydrocarbon gas components is used for (1) determining a gass maturity,(2) correlating a reservoired gas to its source,(3) correlating one reservoired gas with another, and (4) recognizing gas mixtures. Calculated
The relationship between crude oil and natural gas prices
free download
This paper examines the time series econometric relationship between the Henry Hub natural gas price and the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price. Typically, this relationship has been approached using simple correlations and deterministic trends. When
Microbial alteration of subsurface natural gas accumulations
free download
Bacterial alteration of subsurface reservoired hydrocarbon accumulations extends into the range of the C1-C4 gaseous hydrocarbons, preferentially attacking the wet gas components in most instances. During the initial stages of bacterial gas alteration, propane seems to be
Security of European natural gas supplies
free download
There is renewed interest in the issue of European energy security following publication of EU and International Energy Agency (IEA) studies showing an anticipated major increase in energy import dependence over the next two decades. 1 This is particularly true for the
Palladium catalyst performance for methane emissions abatement from lean burn natural gas vehicles
free download
As little as 1 ppm SO, present in the exhaust of a lean bum natural gas engine strongly inhibits the oxidation of CH4 over a Pd containing catalyst. Non-methane emissions oxidation, such as C2H6. CsHs and CO, are also inhibited by low SO, concentrations, but to
Aliphatic acid anions in oil-field waters implications for origin of natural gas
free download
Concentrations of short-chain aliphatic acid anions (acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate) in 95 formation-water samples from 15 oil and gas fields in the San Joaquin Valley, California, and in the Houston and Corpus Christi areas, Texas, show three temperature
Water resources and natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale
free download
The Marcellus Shale is a sedimentary rock formation deposited over 350 million years ago in a shallow inland sea located in the eastern United States where the present-day Appalachian Mountains now stand (de Witt and others). This shale contains significantIn this introductive chapter, basic concepts concerning natural gas seepage, including the terminology typically adopted for various types of seepage, the origins of gas (microbial, thermogenic, and abiotic), and the significance and implications of gas seepage for
Hydraulic fracturing considerations for natural gas wells of the Marcellus Shale
free download
The issue of hydraulic fracturing has raised many concerns from the public as well as government officials. This paper will review the history and evolution of hydraulic fracturing, including environmental and regulatory considerations. Additionally, technical and
Paradoxical perceptions of problems associated with unconventional natural gas development.
free download
Data collected in a general population survey from a random sample of individuals in two counties located in the Barnett Shale region of Texas were used to empirically explore potentially problematic issues associated with unconventional natural gas development
Economic study on natural gas transportation with natural gas hydrate (NGH) pellets
free download
In view of remarkable growth of global natural gas demand and increasing geopolitical risks and concerns of naval accidents including terrorisms in this century, it is needed for us to develop diversified measures to transport natural gas economically and safely from remote
Hydrates of natural gas : a review of their geologic occurrence
free download
Gas hydrates are a type of inclusion compound or clathra te formed as icelike mixtures of gas and water in which gas molecules are trapped within a framework or cage of water molecules. Large quantities of natural gas (mainly methane) can be trapped in sediments in
Combustion of syngas and natural gas in a 300 W chemical-looping combustor
free download
Tests with syngas and natural gas were performed in a continuously operated laboratory reactor system for chemical-looping combustion (CLC). Two different nickel-based oxygen- carriers were used. The CLC system was operated successfully and high conversion of both
