Industry: Oil & Gas

As U.S. shale plays mature, oil and gas operators face an intensification of a longstanding challenge: managing water efficiently. Given that produced water represents the largest by-product or waste stream associated with oil and gas production, coupled with the potentially costly treatment methods and environmental impacts, effectively handling produced water becomes a challenging task. The […]

Ammonia is mainly used in fertilizer production which represents ~70% of global ammonia demand. A rising population is expected to support consistent ammonia-based fertilizer demand growth in the medium term. Traditionally, ammonia has been produced via steam methane reforming (SMR) or auto-thermal refining (ATR) of methane gas which can emit 1.9 to 2.6 tons of […]

The Biden Administration’s recent pause on permits for LNG exports to non-FTA countries has sparked industry-wide debate. While motivated by climate concerns, the pause could delay the retirement of coal-fired plants in emerging economies, paradoxically slowing greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. The U.S. has successfully cut its CO2 emissions by 18% since 2005, largely by switching […]

Hydrocarbon-rich off-gas streams from distillation, conversion, cracking, and other processes are collected to heat various processes throughout refineries and petrochemical plants. Examples of these off-gas streams include still gas, the top product from a refinery’s distillation column, and steam cracker tail gas, which is composed mostly of methane and hydrogen. Aggregation of these off-gas streams […]
