| description |
The flaring of natural gas produced as
part of crude oil production operations is a well-known
practice which increasingly becomes a non-acceptable option
around the globe. In 2010, the Global Gas Flaring Reduction
Partnership (GGFR) at the World Bank reported that nearly
5TCF (trillion standard cubic feet or 135 billion cubic
meters) of associated gas (AG) was flared worldwide, equal
to 20 percent of US consumption emitting 320MM tons of
unnecessary CO2 into the atmosphere. This paper provides a
high-level overview of the status of gas conversion
technologies that are developed for, or are applicable to,
the monetization of associated gas. Gas conversion
technology is but one out of about half a dozen options to
manage or utilize AG such as gas re-injection, power
production, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural
gas (LNG) and pipelines. More than 15 technologies were
evaluated analyzing the overall technology approach, the
strengths and weaknesses of the technology, commercial
readiness and technical risk along with product acceptance
issues and high level economic attractiveness. The gas
volume application range was from sub 1 MMscfd (million
standard cubic feet per day) to a maximum of 25MMscfd with
the sweet spot at 15MMscfd. The in depth evaluation was
based on both publicly available information from websites,
papers and patents and on private files by the reviewer.
Personal phone calls with all companies answered any open
questions. A standard survey was sent to all companies with
questions relating to the building of a plant with a
capacity of 15MMscfd. The responses are compared and
discussed in detail. |
