Last week’s Energy Class in Houston conducted by RBN Energy, LLC revealed the continuing trend of increased global consumption of crude oil, “NGL’s” ( i.e. Natural Gas Liquids ) and Liquified Natural Gas even as the supply of renewable energy and number of EV’s increase. The U.S. will continue to play a pivotal role in meeting this global demand. The irony of increased consumption of hydrocarbons despite increases in renewable energy might best be explained by Jevon’s Paradox which asserts “in the long term, an increase in efficiency in resource use will generate an increase in resource consumption rather than a decrease.” Shrieve’s synthetic compressor lubricant technology will continue to play a pivotal roll in the production of NGL’s. #SHRIEVE

This Viaro Energy release touts Bressay as "one of the largest undeveloped oil fields on the UKCS" yet cumulative energy output of this heavy oil field will never exceed that of a 1.5 GW #offshorewind project. Makes you think (or it should). (https://lnkd.in/e_WbngxM) GlobalData Plc lists Bressay as Europe's "9th largest upcoming European oil field by reserves" (& the 2nd largest on the UKCS). (https://lnkd.in/ekGQDtdv). Bressay production data is from GlobalData (https://lnkd.in/eVwPX7y2). Wind farm data assumes a 1.5 GW project with a capacity factor of 50%. Conversion factors (from both barrels of oil and TWh to PJ) are as per those used in the bp Statistical Review of World Energy.

Apex Clean Energy has towering ambitions for green hydrogen production in Texas. The renewable energy firm is developing 6.5 GW of renewable generation capacity in West Texas that would support green hydrogen production, placing it at the forefront of project development of this kind in North America. Part of a green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and export hub known as “Project Rio,” the project envisions a new roughly 500-mile hydrogen pipeline to Corpus Christi, for potential conversion of green hydrogen to derivatives like ammonia or methanol and made available for domestic end users or export. If completed as conceived, the scale and complexity of the project would signify an infrastructural magnum opus for Apex and its partners, and a feather in the cap of the power and energy private equity strategy of Ares Management Corporation, the owner of both Apex and EPIC Midstream, which operates pipelines running from outside of Corpus Christi through West Texas. The new hydrogen pipeline would likely be built on EPIC’s existing right of way. Project Rio represents a potential breakthrough in the realm of sustainability, as much for its sheer size as for its project-on-project-on-project schematics and its intention to utilize produced water from nearby oil and gas drilling operations in water-scarce West Texas.

Louisiana has an extraordinary economic opportunity set to benefit our state, our communities and our neighbors for generations to come. But this is just the tip of the iceberg… Louisiana and the Gulf Coast are set to lead the energy transition for the entire globe. #cleanenergytransition.

Artificial lift solutions are being deployed at a #naturalgas field in the #BlackSea #offshore #Turkiye to monetize the reserves for sale, after the firm’s six-well 2022-2023 development #drilling program proved successful in all six wells, resulting in large volumes of #gas reserves being tied into the pipeline for production. #offshoredrilling #oilgas #energy #oilandgasnews #offshoreenergy #oilandgas Trillion Energy International Inc.

Eyes on Renewable Gas - Gas Quality Settlement! Florida Gas Transmission, yesterday, proposed a settlement in a long running dispute about renewable natural gas quality. The basic issue is that some biogas, like from cow manure, will produce a consistent product, while other biogas, like from who-knows-what-else is in that landfill, might introduce chemicals that harms the pipeline or customer equipment. FGT and their customers are uniquely sensitive to gas quality issues because as the pipe telescopes towards Miami there are fewer opportunities to mitigate gas quality issues by blending. The proposed gas quality rule and testing regimen can be used as a blueprint for parties nationwide grappling with the gas quality of RNG. Based on throughput, 95% of shippers did not contest, while one shipper, and one non shipper have stated that they will contest the settlement. In another interesting detail RNG receipt points will be labelled as such. I find this interesting because it essentially flags receipt points based on a perceived risk related to gas quality. So, not a done deal, but a great step forward for renewable natural gas. EnerKnol - Don't miss it Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas #renewablegas #biogas #landfillgas #renewablenaturalgas

Welcome to the latest issue of Energy, Oil & Gas Magazine! In our cover story, Jahn A. Høgberg, COO of Yinson Production, discusses the business' fleet of vessels, and how it is working with a key partner to operate the first-ever offshore carbon capture plant on an FPSO. Vincent Dawkins, President and CEO of Enertia Software explains how technology can be a pivotal ally to companies working in the exploration and production (E&P) sector. Can renewables significantly decrease fossil fuels' market share and become the dominant force in a new era of power generation? Stephan Marty, CEO at Wattstor, shares how solar will lead this new power era. Read the full issue here: https://ow.ly/KU6f50SKTWg #Energy #Oil #Gas #Sustainability #SustainableEnergy

The intersection of geothermal and oil and gas is continuously progressing. One area where this is growing is well conversion.
