When Williams began building their Bucking Horse natural gas processing plant in Wyoming's Niobrara Shale, they faced a major issue - no power lines were available. ...
There are several incentives driving these conversions. Initially after the shale gas boom in the USA, the incentives were largely economic as natural gas prices plummeted, also bringing down the cost of LNG vs. conventional liquid fuels. The rapid growth of both international sources of LNG, as well as the conversion of North American LNG import ...
PRODUCT: Two Taurus 60 Mobile Power Units APPLICATION: Gas Processing Plant Commissioning Power CUSTOMER VALUE: Island Mode Power Rapid Start-Up Reliable and Efficient Environmentally Friendly Power Large On-Load or Off-Load Frequency Control When Williams began building their Bucking Horse natural gas processing plant in Wyoming's Niobrara ...
Ensuring a return of profit.Think of the advantages this logic gives to remote construction sites or sites in congested city centers, for trench work in inaccessible areas, or extremely precise civic works with vital restraints including major roads that cannot be closed to traffic.For example, Vaca Muerta in Argentine Patagonia is a deposit of unconventional hydrocarbons (shale ...
The Marcellus Shale, a large formation that includes parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia, had reached 14.4 billion cubic feet of gas production per day by 2015 despite being severely underutilized just a few years earlier. ...
While some researchers implicate Marcellus Shale fracking for increased levels of radon in parts of Pennsylvania, others point to factors including soil moisture levels and improved home insulation. As researchers debate causes of increased radon level, residents must find ways to deal with it Radon is an odorless, tasteless, naturally occurring radioactive ...
Although petroleum and other liquids remain the largest source of energy, the liquid fuels share of world marketed energy consumption falls from 33% in 2012 to 31% in 2040. Natural gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel in the outlook. Global natural gas consumption grows by 1.4% per year from 2015 to 2040. Abundant natural gas resources and ...
The gas prices for consumers are high because Europe imports around 60 percent of the consumed gas. ...
We need more gas storage capacity and relevant promotion policies from the government like peak-shaving gas prices. ...
The number of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) shale oil and gas wells in the United States continues to increase. Within the Bakken Shale formation alone, in North Dakota and Montana, upwards of 15,000 hydraulic fracturing wellheads are in operation, with another 20,000 wells planned for opening. The U.S. has vast reserves of oil and natural ...
Is the U.S. shale oil industry in trouble? No, it is engaged in a high-stakes competition for market share. ...
Like Morocco, South Africa’s limited oil and gas reserves, as well as over-dependence on coal, were among the key factors that galvanized the roll-out of CSP projects, with 1.2 GW of installed CSP capacity targeted by 2020. ...
Securing energy resources is critical for fuelling development, but deciding which types of energy to invest in will affect a country’s future in many ways — and not all are good when it comes to shale gas. Four countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) — Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia — are planning to extract ...
Even as the industry rails against what it calls the Obama administration's "war on coal," shutdowns of the remaining 580 coal-burning plants in the U.S. are accelerating, driven in large part by the availability of low-cost natural gas from shale. Globally, however, it's a different story. Nearly 1,200 new plants are on the drawing board, most in China and ...
On the contrary, a number of industrial countries are now promoting exploitation of new fossil sources like shale gas and oil from tar sand. Reversing population growth facilitates sustainable development, but most governments of industrial nations appear to be more concerned about decreases in their population. ...
Hydraulic fracturing is widely used to enhance oil or natural gas production, especially from shale formations. Chemicals are added to water and sand in fracking fluid to control such factors as the viscosity and friction of the fluid and to limit corrosion and microbial growth in a well. ...
For example, to extract oil and natural gas from once inaccessible shale reserves, horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is being used. ...
Germany gets about a third of its natural gas and crude oil from Russia. Merkel is still pushing ahead with the plan to shift away from nuclear energy. ...
Another study of aggregate job impacts found that energy efficiency and solar energy generate more direct jobs than coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy. These findings are consistent with an assessment from the National Academies of Science showing that U.S. industry could cost-effectively reduce its GHG emissions by 14-22 percent relative to baseline forecasts for 2020 by ...
They found that three energy sectors face particularly high water risks: shale gas in the United States, coal production and coal-fired power in China, and crude oil in the Middle East. ...
