Monetize Stranded Gas Reserves with Small-Scale GTL Facilities
In recent years, small-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities have played a critical role in helping operators monetize stranded shale gas reserves. The term “stranded” typically refers to reserves that are located in remote locations where pipeline infrastructure...
The Role of Heat Transfer Fluids in Gas Processing Operations
Impurity removal plays a crucial role in natural gas processing operations. Raw gas streams typically contain a number of impurities, such as water, H2S, CO2, and volatile organics (among others) that must be removed before gas can enter downstream processing...
3 Benefits of Modularization in Cryogenic Gas Plants
As E&P companies have become more efficient at developing unconventional shale resources, the demand for midstream processing solutions that enable operators to deliver oil and gas to market quickly and cost-effectively has increased significantly. Implementing...
An Overview of Fouling in Heat Exchangers
Fouling in heat exchangers can have a substantial impact on the operation of processing facilities. First and foremost, it inhibits the ability of the exchanger to recover heat from the product stream. In turn, more heat must be supplied by the furnace to raise the...
An Overview of Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE)
Natural gas fields that contain higher amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) than hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pose significant challenges for sulfur recovery units (SRUs) that utilize conventional Claus-based recovery processes. In such instances, the use of acid gas enrichment...
The Effect of Ambient Conditions on LNG Plant Operation
Ambient conditions can have a significant impact on the overall operation of an LNG plant -- particularly when it comes to liquefaction. Among all environmental factors, air temperature typically has the largest effect due to the fact that as it increases, the...
