Commercial & Industrial Application/ Permanent Lng Installation - Case Study
Use of LNG to replace other liquid fuels (propane, distillate fuel oil, bunker/residual fuel) is increasing worldwide. 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 ...

Pumps that thrive under pressure
The Evolution of Hydraulic Transmission Technology in the Pressure Pumping Market. Fracking technology is driving transformation of North American energy production capabilities. Since 2005, most of the increase in domestic natural gas production resulted from ongoing development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology. Producers developed more efficient ways to extract gas ...

Microbiotests for the Evaluation of the Pollution from the Oil Shale Industry
Abstract : In this study a comparative chemical and toxicological analysis of 8 phenolic river water and wastewater samples originating from the Kohtla-Järve oil shale industry region (north-western part of Estonia) was made. The total phenolic content of the samples ranged from 0.01 to 195 mg/l. For 5 wastewaters the corresponding synthetic phenolic analogues were prepared. A battery of ...

Accelerating clean energy innovation means tailoring R&D policy to technology scale and risk
The energy sector is technology-intensive, and it has passed through several innovation-led transformations in the last two centuries The last 200 years of the history of energy could be characterised, without too much exaggeration, as five or six long periods of disruption and uncertainty, punctuated by moments of stability. The energy sector is technology-intensive, and it has passed through ...

CITGO Is Worth Protecting
In the last ten years the fracking revolution has led to amazing growth and vastly increased energy security for the United States. We’ve gone from the number-one refined product importer in the world to the number-one exporter. Workers in American refineries are fueling the country and, increasingly, the world. More than one hundred high-tech U.S. refineries support millions of jobs, ...

The Stats on Fracking: The Real Numbers of Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing, sometimes referred to as “fracking,” is among the largest and most influential trends in the global energy sector today. By injecting highly pressurized fluid into underground formations containing oil and natural gas, hydraulic fracturing makes it possible to exploit fossil fuel reserves that were previously too expensive or too difficult to reach with more ...

Emerging Asian Economies Drive the Increase in World Energy Use from 2015 to 2040
World energy consumption is projected to increase by 28% by 2040, according to the International Energy Outlook 2017 (IEO2017), released today by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Most of the world's growth in energy demand is projected to take place in countries outside of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). China and the other non-OECD Asia nations ...

Solution blooming for fracking spills?
Blooming salts may clean up after brine spills North Dakota's oil boom can have a salty side-effect. Wastewater from oil drilling and hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – is often laden with salts and can spill, contaminating soils. In 2014, for example, 42 such brine spills per week, on average, were recorded in North Dakota. Brine spills introduce so much salt into the soil that ...

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 projects will have a pivotal role to ensure China’s energy security?
Interview with Shan Weiguo, Head of Gas Market Research at CNPC. This is the second part of a two-part interview. Read the first part here. Gastech News: What projects will have a pivotal role to ensure China’s energy security? Shan Weiguo: There are many projects. The most important one is dealing with the infrastructure, especially the import facilities: the pipelines and LNG terminals. ...

Optimizing Water Management in Hydraulic Fracturing for Shale Oil and Gas Production
Centralized treatment of wastewater is emerging as a viable solution for long-term efficiency in managing water sourcing and wastewater treatment in hydraulic fracturing. 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 ...

INCREASED OIL COMPETITION: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Is the U.S. shale oil industry in trouble? No, it is engaged in a high-stakes competition for market share. As oil flooded the market in 2014-15, prices dropped dramatically and producers began burning midnight oil to manage the downward economic pressures. While some overleveraged companies won’t survive the economic challenge, in true Darwinian fashion, the fittest will prevail. ...

Will we ever stop using fossil fuels?
Not without a carbon tax, suggests a study by an MIT economist. In recent years, proponents of clean energy have taken heart in the falling prices of solar and wind power, hoping they will drive an energy revolution. But a new study co-authored by an MIT professor suggests otherwise: Technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead us to continue using all the oil, gas, and coal we ...

Hydraulic Fracturing and the Environment Whitepaper - Analytical and Measuring Instruments
The recovery of natural gas and oil from untraditional wells is necessary for the economic stability of the United States. Shale gas deposits are deep below the earth’s surface and recovery of gas is expensive and requires millions of gallons of water mixed with chemicals, known as "fracking solution". Most fracking solution stays underground or returns to the surface mixed with formation ...

Treatment of hydraulic fracturing wastewater by wet air oxidation
Wastewater produced by hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas production is characterized by high salinity and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). We applied a combination of flocculation and wet air oxidation technology to optimize the reduction of COD in the treatment of hydraulic fracturing wastewater. The experiments used different values of flocculant, coagulant, and oxidizing agent added ...
