This report analyzes the technical aspects and the economics of utilizing nuclear reactor to provide the energy needed for a Canadian oil sands extraction facility using SteamAssisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology. The energy from the nuclear reactor would replace the need for energy supplied by natural gas, which is currently burned at these facilities. There are a number of concerns surr...

Peter Bauer, ABB Automation, USA, and Billy Mann, West African Gas Pipeline Company Ltd, discuss the importance of SCADA system integrity to the West African gas pipeline. Gas operators are finding the need for more and more advanced technology to keep up with their data collection and processing requirements. This includes data from smart field devices, increasingly sophisticated control syste...

the existing measuremenjs of the viscosity of gaseous systems can be extended if use is made of statistical mechanics. in this work, we confine ourselves to the measurements of the viscosity of multicomponent mixtures of low-density gases. the method is applied to one sample of natural gas.
