Prevent hydrate formation with high-pressure deethanizer design
To produce high-purity ethane from a wet NGL feed, a high-pressure deethanizer design has been developed to prevent hydrate formation without using a dehydration unit.
Manage activated carbon effects on MDEA solution foaming
In the oil and gas industry, activated carbon (AC) is used in many applications, both as an adsorbent and as a support media for chemical reagents.
Design for ultra-high-pressure H2S removal from natural gas
What are the pressure design limits for natural gas H2S removal and associated dehydration facilities?
Develop successful nearshore FLNG solutions—Part 1: Gas pretreatment strategies
Movement has been seen in offshore floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) developments.
Market development is key to success for small-scale LNG
The small-scale LNG (SSLNG) industry continues to grow, driven largely by rising environmental factors.
Opportunities and challenges for small-scale LNG commercialization
The rapid development of the unconventional gas supply chain in North America could have a game-changing impact on large-scale and mega-gas processing/liquefaction facilities.
US Industry Metrics
In the US, Henry Hub natural gas spot prices began climbing in late June, rising to just under $3/MMBtu by early July.
New in gas processing technology
Maintenance, repairs and unplanned downtime in manufacturing can be costly, and the corrosive effect of polluted or contaminated air in production facilities is often the culprit.
Gas processing news
Gas Technology Institute (GTI) recently celebrated an important milestone—its 75th anniversary.
Regional Perspectives
Iran has the world’s largest proven natural gas reserves at 1,201 Tcf, according to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy,1 and it is the fourth-largest natural gas producer in the world.
Executive Q&A viewpoint
The shale revolution has caused a natural gas boom in the Marcellus shale play that has been a victim of its own success.
Editorial comment
Small-scale gas processing operations are ramping up around the world, particularly in the LNG sector.
DME technology advances provide clean alternative to diesel
While dimethyl ether (DME) might sound like an exotic chemical, it is, in fact, the simplest ether compound, with a chemical formula of C2H6O.
Evaluate GTL processes compared with conventional refining
Many attempts have been made to develop a process allowing for the substitution of crude oil with another feedstock capable of delivering high-quality fuel products.
Choose the correct heat transfer fluid for gas processing operations
In recent years, the gas processing industry has seen rapid growth worldwide.
Remove the gaps between planning, maintenance and operations
Domestic crude oil production is at levels last seen 25 years ago, and 2014 showed a record year for domestic natural gas production.
Consider high-value outlets for propane and butane
Shale oil and gas operations in North America generate abundant and low-cost supplies of LPG.
US Industry Metrics
In the US, Henry Hub natural gas spot prices climbed briefly above $2/MMBtu in May, but then slid back below that level toward the middle of the month.
New in gas processing technology
Lanner has been awarded a contract by Cameron LNG to supply its LNG Logistics Simulator.
Gas processing news
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) on April 15 ratified the EN15940 standard for paraffinic diesel fuels, such as Shell's GTL fuel.
LNG technology
As global demand for natural gas increases, interest in unlocking and monetizing stranded gas reserves in ultra-deep waters that are difficult to develop with conventional technology will return.
President's Letter
The last thing you need right now is another dreary recitation of industry statistics that show how hard hit the global oil and gas industry has been in the last 18 months.
Executive Q&A viewpoint
Emerging technology solutions to address growing petrochemicals demand and gas production are meeting with intense interest.
Editorial comment
A trend is seen in North American supplies of NGL, which have increased significantly over the past five years, as production has expanded in liquids-rich shale and tight gas plays.
Boxscore Construction Analysis
Chinese investors are accelerating their expansion into Russia’s oil and gas sector through the acquisition of stakes in key industry projects.
Methanol economy gains ground with technology, market developments
The Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Dr. George Olah, and co-authors published a book in 2006 titled Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy.
Carbon dioxide-tolerant nitrogen rejection reduces costs
For commercial-scale nitrogen (N2) removal, cryogenic distillation is the only cost-effective technology.
Understand the impact of hydrocarbon coabsorption losses on gas plant revenues
Gas development projects face growing challenges from increasingly sour resources with relatively high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans and carbonyl sulfide (COS), as well as tighter sales specifications and stricter environmental emissions standards.
Remove mercaptans from hydrocarbon condensates and NGL streams
Here, the removal of mercaptan components from a hydrocarbon condensate stream at a Canadian gas plant, using a novel removal chemistry and separation technology, is investigated.
