Mature Assets: Low-cost plant upgrades marginal gas fields
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Large volumes of low-BTU gas from big fields can be processed in large volumes in centralized processing plants using conventional technology. However, significant volumes of N2-induced low-BTU gas reside in marginal fields owned by small operators with limited financial and technical resources. Such production is often characterized by low feed volumes and pressures, remote locations, and rapid declines. Most of these reserves will not be produced if the gas cannot be used on site.

Demonstrating Multi-layered MAS in Control of Offshore Oil and Gas Production
The background for our research is oil and gas production at marginal (i.e. small in total oil and gas volume) fields in the Danish sector of the North Sea, as described in our work [1]. The DONG Energy E&P operated production platform Siri is used as demonstration case. From a production perspective marginal fields are very challenging since they mature more rapidly, i.e. in the range of month...
متن کاملEstimation of Costs of Phosphorus Removal in Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Adaptation of Existing Facilities
As part of a wider enquiry into the feasibility of offset banking schemes as a means to implement pollutant trading within Georgia watersheds, this is the second of two reports addressing the issue of estimating costs for upgrades in the performance of phosphorus removal in point-source wastewater treatment facilities. Earlier, preliminary results are presented in Jiang et al (2004) (Working Pa...

متن کاملThe impact of prolonged flood-irrigation on leaf gas exchange in mature pecans in an orchard setting
Woody perennials subjected to root oxygen-stress often respond with varying levels of reduced assimilation and leaf gas exchange. Yet in most of these studies, seedlings grown in pots were subjected to experimental conditions that rarely exist in nature for mature trees. To determine if flooding mature orchard-grown pecan (Carya illinoiensis (Wangh) K. Koch) results in a similar depressed photo...
متن کامل“Shock Value: Bill Smoothing and Sticky Prices in Utility Retail Rates” Catherine “Catie” Hausman Assistant Professor of Public Policy
Wholesale natural gas prices vary tremendously as a result of supply-side shocks such as fracking and demand-side shocks such as unusual winter weather. In this paper, I examine how natural gas utilities respond to these cost shocks. Because distributors must cover both gas costs as well as large capital costs, the typical utility uses two-part tariffs. I show that marginal prices are updated n...
