This data-file tabulates the maintenance costs incurred by a fleet of 42x CNG-powered trucks, over 16M miles in the United States. Maintenance costs averaged 8c/mile, of which 1.6c/mile (i.e., 20%)…
…plus batteries can achieve a c2x efficiency uplift. Additional opportunities are emerging to uplift system efficiency using batteries. One recent example was described by ConocoPhillips, at the Darwin LNG plant,…
…already harnessed LNG as a potential fuel source, which is 25% more energy dense than jet fuel per unit mass and could have afforded a 10% improvement in fuel economy…
…and CO2. These will be 2-2.5x larger FPSOs than Lula, by tonnage. Pages 8-10 illustrate pipeline bottlenecks facing pre-salt Brazil. After considering alternative options (re-injection, LNG), we argue more pipelines…
…as battery costs come down, achieving even higher, 30-65% energy savings. This data-file summarizes a dozen examples, from oil and gas, marine, construction and even the machinery at LNG plants….
…form in the global gas industry (LNG), a theme that increasingly excites us, to drive the energy transition. Theme #8 is our oil outlook, where we expect markets may be…
…natural gas in the energy transition and LNG in the energy transition. We also have a separate data-file capturing the economics of gas peaker plants, which better reflects electricity pricing…
…possible. Initatives to lower these emissions by 10-20% through LNG-fuelling or hybridization are described in the final tab. They will likely save 0.01-0.02kg/boe from most PSVs and other supply vessels….
…strong credentials for natural gas as the fuel for the energy transition. All of our research into gas opportunities is linked here; and our work into LNG is linked here….
…about 1,000 people. It uses highly specialized equipment, and less labor. Global LNG projects are hardest. The average 10MTpa-scale mega-project cost $30bn (including upstream) and required 7,000 people. They require…
