October 23, 2019- The 2019 Flare Gas Monetization and Syngas Conversion Forum held in Houston, TX at Hotel Grandua brought together a wide range of speakers and attendees. Organized by Energy Frontiers International, the forum included programs on strategic and techno-economic perspectives, small-scale modular conversion, process and technology development, and methanol synthesis and fuel applications. ADI Analytics’ CEO, Uday Turaga, spoke on […]
Methanol for Power Generation
The discovery and rapid development of shale gas and unconventional oil plays has dramatically increased the supply of natural gas in North America. This growing natural gas resource can be monetized in several ways including conversion into liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, or other liquid hydrocarbons. Given the promise of new, cheap supply and methanol’s […]
Natural Gas Liquids: Returning to Good Times?
ADI Analytics hosted its first North America Natural Gas and NGL forum in Houston late February. The forum was well-attended with representatives from a wide range of companies including integrated oil and gas majors, refiners, E&P independents, industrial gas suppliers, equipment providers, technology licensors, investors, and media outlets. The forum featured several presentations by ADI […]
Fertilizing Gas Monetization Options with Ammonia
The production of ammonia from natural gas is another option to monetize natural gas. Ammonia has been produced from natural gas since the early 20th century by way of the Haber-Bosch process. This is a proven and mature process that is widely practiced by many companies. Although natural gas is the most common feedstock, ammonia […]
MTG: Too Much Risk to be Commercially Viable?
Earlier, we wrote about how methanol produced from natural gas can be used in many different processes. One of the processes in the methanol value chain is the methanol to gasoline (MTG) process. ExxonMobil and Haldor Topso are the only two companies who own the licensing rights to this technology. Mobil started the first commercial […]
Exploiting Floating LNG for Small Markets
Last week, we explored a small company, Carib Energy Solutions, aiming to supply the Caribbean with LNG. We also briefly mentioned another company, Cambridge Energy and their plans to supply the Caribbean with LNG as well. However, unlike Carib, Cambridge is planning to produce their own LNG. Further, it is planning to produce LNG on […]
