Modelling competition between natural gas pipeline projects to China
China's natural gas demand is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. Therefore the potential of several pipelines from Russia and other CIS countries to China has been investigated. A two-step game-theoretic procedure for the problem formulation is proposed to assess the projects' economic perspectives. In the instantaneous supply game the players determine optimal supply levels to the ...

Identifying Leaks from Natural Gas Pipelines at a Safe Distance
The use of natural gas, of which methane is the principle component, is increasing worldwide. According to the American Petroleum Institute methane meets 24% of U.S. energy demand and heats over 50% of all U.S. households. It also has many industrial uses, such as the manufacture of chemicals like ammonia, methanol, butane, ethane, propane and acetic acid; it is also an ingredient in products as ...

Natural gas markets and the creation of an export gas pipeline system in Eastern Russia
The world natural gas markets are analysed, with a special focus on the countries of Northeast Asia (NEA). The natural gas demands of China, Japan and South Korea, until the year 2020, is projected, considering a possible share of Russian gas. The resource potential of natural gas from the Siberian platform and the Sakhalin shelf is given as a sound basis for fuelling Russia's position in the ...

Fog Provides Cooling for Natural Gas Pipeline Compressor Stations Case Study
High pressure fog enables pipelines to maintain production levels and stay online during hot weather conditions. After new compressor units were installed at a North Carolina compression facility, the cooling systems began to reach capacity causing the compressor to overheat due to hot weather conditions. The plant compression engineer chose MicroCool fog systems to provide adjunct cooling ...

Small Natural Gas Generator – Economical and Eco-Friendly
A small natural gas generator is more economical to use than gas generators. It is also environmentally friendly to operate since natural gas is one of the cleanest energy sources. On top of that, spills are common when using fuel sources such as gasoline. Gas can splash out of the container when transporting or spill out of the fuel tank while the generator is being refueled. Unfortunately, ...

New correlations for water content of sweet and sour natural gases
The water content of natural gas is very important for gas pipeline operators. This paper developed an improved correlation model which is easy–to–use and with an appropriate accuracy to predict the water content of both the sweet and sour gases. The new correlations are generated from the Wang correlation combined with the Keenan–Keyes model. The temperature correction terms as well as the CO2 ...

Solar Heating Reduces Energy Costs at Gaylord - Case Study
Gaylord Hospital’s quiet 500-acre setting had its drawbacks. There were no natural gas pipelines leading to the area, and installing them would be cost-prohibitive. Instead, Gaylord relied on oil heat, an almostequally daunting expense, especially in Connecticut winters. But then Mark Veere, facility manager for Gaylord, came up with an idea for cheaper energy without digging up those ...
