Technology Options for Securing Market for Remote Gases
TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS FOR SECURING MARKET FOR REMOTE GASES Deepshikha Dixit, Bachelor’s in Oil & Gas, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies

Over the past few decades the oil and natural gas industry has transformed into one of the most technologically advanced industries. New innovations have reshaped the industry into technology leader. Natural gas is one of the most abundant energy resources on the planet, yet more than one-third of global natural gas reserves remain stranded and undeveloped. Cross-country pipelines are used to transport 70% of gas internationally and remaining 30% by LNG. Different and modern technologies are developed in past few years but still many of the remote gas fields are not commercialized yet. For example, Middle East has largest oil reserves i.e. 33.8% of the world (till the end of 1999) but when highest production of oil and gas are analysed all over the world, Russia and North America comes on the top most position, middle-east produces only 8% of oil. Whereas N.A. has only 5% and Russia 23.7% oil reserves (till the end of 1999) (source: BP Statistic Review – Society for the study of gas market problem in METI Japan). The major problem observed here is “commercialization” of oil and gas market. To transport natural gas to major natural gas markets, pipeline and LNG are fully commercialized. Technologies like GTL, Gas to Wire – HVDC are also commercial but it requires technology development to improve efficiency.CNG and Gas to Solids- Hydrates is under R&D, not commercial yet no projects are sanctioned. Distance to market and potential production volumes influences the technologies that might viably be used to exploit remote gas fields. Niche markets exist for CNG and smaller scale LNG and GTL projects for gas fields with modest reserves. CNG technologies introduction is seen as a third competitive alternative to move gas to the markets.CNG is good for smaller volumes and small distances over marine delivery routes. It has

    The oil and gas industry is seeking to expand natural gas production across the nation, as new technology makes it easier to extract gas from previously inaccessible sites. Over the last decade, the industry has drilled thousands of new wells in the Rocky Mountain region and in the South. It is expanding operations in the eastern United States as well, setting its sights most recently on a 600-mile-long rock formation called the Marcellus Shale, which stretches from West Virginia to western New York.…

    The current situation of sky-rocketing prices of crude oil and natural gas is booming the shale gas industry. The cheap method to extract gas by hydraulic fracturing and the large potential reserves make this method a very important source of extraction in the near future. Countries like the United States and China, the two largest consumers of mineral oil will be most benefitted from this as these are the two countries reportedly having largest reserves of shale gas, and have the…

    North America has been the leader in developing and producing hydraulic gas. Other countries such as China, Germany, Canada and Australia are now joining the trend. In an article by the Energy Information Administration states that 25% of the nation’s electricity is generated by natural gas. Also, that 46% of the new generating capacity added to the grid by 2035 will come from natural gas (EIA). Most of this natural gas will be produced right here in U.S. The scientists at U.S. Geological Survey states that natural…

    Domestic reserves of natural gas beneath the earth’s surface are massive. Gas drilling booms have popped up in numerous states throughout the country-Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Pennsylvania, to name a few. Halliburton Corp. developed a way to mine horizontally. In 1990, boring parallel to the horizontal layers of shale exposed gas deposits, from which Halliburton reaped the profits. There is no denying that America needs alternative fuel sources, and this is one way to ease the demand on foreign oil. Ernest Moniz, director of MIT Energy Initiative, believes natural gas is a bridge to a low-carbon future until alternative sources such as wind, solar and geothermal become more viable. He states natural gas…

    Natural gas is extremely useful in our lives. We need natural gases to heat our houses and use microwave ovens, conventional ovens and stovetops. Because the economy currently isn’t well off – and hasn’t been recently – natural gases are now in higher demand for cheaper prices. Oil and gas drilling facilities are now making it possible for natural gases to be sold at extremely cheap prices and accessible amounts through the process of hydraulic fracturing. Before, the United States had to import energy sources, but now, thanks to hydraulic fracturing, the United States can export energy.…
