Information processes in support of innovation
This paper presents a case study of information processes in the regional office of a multi-national energy company which repositioned the company from exploration to gas storage. The information flows show the dissemination of "rich" information in and between project groups due to the small scale of the regional site with many long-standing members of staff. Formal methods of ...

High pressure studies of metal organic framework materials
This paper gives a brief overview of our recent work in the field of high pressure structural studies of metal organic framework materials. These are nanoporous materials which have found widespread application in the fields of gas separation and storage. Pressure provides a convenient tool to modify pore size and content without the need to alter the material chemically. Our techniques (high ...

Investigation of an LPG accident with different mathematical model applications
An LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) storage accident was reconstructed through several simulation models, with the aims of the reported and filmed effects and damage. The accident happened in Paese, near Treviso (Italy) in March 1996 and was characterised by complex phenomena due to a choked release of LPG from a tanker. There was a dispersion of light winds and, after about 40 minutes, a flash-fire ...

US becomes no.1 Global LNG exporter - European countries are importing more than half of US exports
According to the latest short-term outlook released by the EIA (US Energy Information Administration) in mid-July, US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports increased by 18% in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 (averaged exports). EIA analysts expect LNG exports to average 10.9 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) this year and 12.7 bcf/d in 2023. This already puts US as ...

Prioritising sources of risk at liquefied natural gas storage terminals in Mexico
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations and facilities are growing in scale and number in developed and developing countries. The associated hazards to human health and safety and the environment are being addressed systematically. This paper discusses and refines existing methods to perform identification, screening, and prioritisation for a variety of sources of risk in LNG processes. The steps ...

The world gas market in 2030 – development scenarios using the World Gas Model
We discuss potential developments of the world natural gas industry through 2030. We use the World Gas Model (WGM), a multi-period strategic representation of the global natural gas sector, between 2005 and 2030. We specify a 'base case' and then analyse the sensitivity of the world natural gas system with scenarios, including various supply scenarios (e.g., emergence of large volumes of ...

The effect of surrounding temperature on liquefied petroleum gas behaviour during exhaustion process
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is considered to be a cleaner fuel because it has less impact on air quality. However, the potential benefit of LPG usage in domestic or residential sectors in Malaysia is hampered by LPG residue in cylinder. A few critical factors, such as LPG composition, exhaustion rate and surrounding temperature, have been identified to significantly contribute to the LPG ...

EPA provides more time to comply with air standards for oil, gas storage tanks
The Environmental Protection Agency will give industry additional time to install air pollution controls on storage tanks that are used during the production and transmission of oil and natural gas, according to a final rule released Aug. 5. The agency now will phase in the deadlines to control volatile organic compounds through April 15, 2015, rather than requiring compliance by Oct. 15, 2013, ...

US LNG: A new era in the European economy
Recent news from the gas market make it clear that the US starts its new energy policy with LNG. In April, the US Cheniere Energy for the first time delivered nearly 100,000 tons of LNG on a tanker to Portugal. It’s clear that the first cargo serves to test the route to Europe, but it’s obvious that this is already the beginning of a new era in the European economy of oil and gas, ...

What Are MOF and COF Compounds?
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of crystalline porous material with a periodic network structure formed by connecting and bridging inorganic metal centers (metal ions or metal clusters) with organic ligands. Because MOFs have many properties such as porosity, large specific surface area, strong designability, multi-metal sites, etc., they have been extensively studied and used in the ...
