Do Methane Leaks Detract from Natural Gas?

…be much higher for associated gas in oil basins than non-associated gas in gas basins. The Marcellus is the lowest-leak basin in our sample at 0.1%, versus the Permian, Bakken…

…the gas, cleaning the gas, and compressing the gas into a regional pipeline. Generally, double-digit returns are achievable at a large new shale pad, by capturing and commercialising associated gas…
The data-file gives an overview of different gas-sweetening and gas-processing operations, outlining the process, indicative costs, and drawbacks. We also note 20 companies with gas treatment technologies, although our list…
This data-file explores an alternative design for a combined cycle gas turbine, re-circulating exhaust gases (including CO2) after the combustion stage, back into the turbine’s compressor and combustion zones. The…
…is spared the strain of sudden demand surges. Is upside suggested for gas? Utilisation of the fast-charging infrastructure is much more important to the overall economics than the gas price….
This data-file models the economics of constructing a new gas-to-power project, using simple or combined cycle gas turbines, based on technical papers and past projects around the industry. A dozen…
…gas processing, LNG liquefaction, LNG tanker distances and pipeline distances. Energy return on energy invested is c20x across piped gas resources and c10x across LNG resources, compared with c7-10x for…
…gas. If 3.5% of methane is leaked, then natural gas is, debatably, no greener than coal. Pages 5-8 quantify methane emissions and leaks across the global gas industry, including a…
This data-file tabulates the methane emissions from downstream gas distribution across 160 US gas networks, which cover 1.1M miles of mains, 61M metered customers and >90% of the country’s retail…
