Monetization of the abundant supply of natural gas from unconventional shale plays has been primarily focused on large-scale LNG export projects across North America. The aim of these projects is not to supply LNG for domestic markets, but to supply large markets abroad in Europe and Asia. Domestically, the largest use for LNG is for […]
Two Paths Forward for Natural Gas in Marine Applications
With tighter emissions regulations looming over the heads of marine vessel fleet owners, there is new interest in alternative fuels that are more environmentally friendly than diesel or heavy fuel oil. The expanded supply of North American shale gas is giving fleet owners two environmentally friendly options for alternative marine fuels: LNG and methanol. Both […]
Advancing Natural Gas Use in Transportation
Nearly all heavy duty trucks in the Unites States run on diesel. However, with an abundant and cheap supply of natural gas from shale plays there is growing interest in replacing diesel fuel in heavy duty tucking, as we have discussed in our recent blogs and reports. LNG will likely be adopted at a regional level […]
Natural Gas Sourcing Strategies for LNG Export Projects
Thanks to the increase in shale gas production many LNG export projects have been announced, and a few have started construction, in the United States. During the third quarter of 2015, the first of these projects, Cheniere’s Sabine Pass terminal, will start exporting LNG around the world. Most attention has focused on these projects securing […]
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 […]
Shell Creates a Stronger LNG Portfolio with BG
We spent this morning chatting with a couple news reporters about Shell’s decision to buy BG and figured a blog post around it may be interesting. Given our work in natural gas monetization, we believe that this transaction significantly strengthens Shell’s position in global LNG markets. First, it enhances the quality of Shell’s LNG supply […]
Monetizing North American Shale with Methanol
As shale-led natural gas production increases in North America, companies around the world are exploring different monetization options. Producing methanol from natural gas has emerged as a popular option for several reasons. Natural gas is a cheap and abundant feedstock in North America, methanol is easy to transport, methanol has numerous uses, methanol prices tend […]
Options to Reduce Flaring
In 2014, almost one-third of natural gas extracted in North Dakota was lost to flaring. Flaring is when the gas is burned at the well instead of being commercially used. Flaring is more environmentally friendly than venting excess natural gas into the atmosphere. When natural gas is vented, the pollutant that enters the atmosphere is […]
Bloomberg Quotes ADI Analytics on Small-Scale LNG Projects
Uday Turaga of ADI Analytics was quoted in Bloomberg’s story on small-scale LNG projects in North America and an advantage that they hold over their large-scale counterparts. Drawing upon his industry experience and knowledge of the natural gas value chain, Turaga commented on small-scale LNG export projects: Now, with finances tight, smaller projects have an advantage […]
Summary of the LNG Export Regulatory Process
Liquefied natural gas export projects in the United States have many hurdles to jump over before they can commence operations. One of the largest hoops to jump is the regulatory hoop. In the United States there are two major agencies that handle regulatory approvals for LNG exporting projects. First, is the U.S. Department of Energy […]
