Gas Processing/LNG
Industrial IoT technologies are revolutionizing oil and gas supply chains
Over the past few decades, the world has seen a surge in demand for oil and gas, and global markets have responded to meet these growing energy needs.
Valves Outlook
Although overall industry growth is not substantial from 2017 to 2018, it translates to $66 MM more in valve shipments for the year, which is a positive sign for the industry.
Cybersecurity
Unfortunately, nation states appear to be launching cybersecurity attacks on other nation states.
Viewpoint
The impact of digital transformation on the LNG value chain is an area of active discussion and urgency.
Global Project Data
Hydrocarbon Processing’s Construction Boxscore Database is tracking more than 1,600 projects around the world, representing more than $1.8 T in capital expenditures.
Indian LNG—The creation of a natural gas importing powerhouse
According to the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) publication, “The LNG industry: GIIGNL annual report 2018,” global LNG trade has increased from approximately 264 MMtpy in 2016 to nearly 290 MMtpy in 2017.
How APM in LNG operations can lower TCO and boost ROI
As the world’s hydrocarbon appetite continues its rapid turn toward lighter fare (e.g., natural gas for power generation, transportation and industry), massive, near-term investments in global, capital-intensive, fully digitalized LNG infrastructure are needed.
Selecting amines for AGR facilities impacts LNG plant capacity
Alkanolamines have been used for acid gas removal from natural gas for several decades.
Liquefaction technology selection for baseload LNG plants
As global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade continues to rapidly expand, the challenge of liquefaction process selection—a key element of an LNG project—becomes increasingly important.
Decline in LNG contract lengths and volumes raises future supply concerns
A dramatic acceleration of a trend toward smaller volumes and shorter tenures for LNG contracts in 2017 highlights the growing commoditization of the global LNG market, even as it raises troubling questions about future supply.
