..., with a total length of 57 cm, contains circular pillars to promote multiple contacts in the system. Table 1 of the complete paper contains the list of the gases used in this study. The composition of the recycled gas includes approximately 86% CO 2 , approximately 7.7% methane, and other impurities...

..., a region between France and Germany. The last coal mine was shut down 20 years ago. Researchers at the French National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) were testing a probe designed to analyze gases dissolved in the water of deep underground rock formations, looking for methane, when they detected...

...Pat Davis Szymczak _ The use of satellite imaging to verify self-reporting of methane emissions using empirical data gathered in near-real time by artificial intelligence, could cost the fossil fuel industry dearly in fines under the new methane provisions of the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA...

.... However, that comes with a caveat: The assumption of lower emissions from natural gas holds true only when the issues of methane leaks and flaring are addressed. Methane is a very potent GHG. Its global warming potential (GWP), defined as a GHG’s ability to trap heat in the atmosphere compared to CO 2...

There is also the new SPE Gaia sustainability program to enable and empower all members who wish to engage in the alignment of the future of energy with sustainable development. The Gaia program has an on-demand library of materials, including an existing...

.... She spent the next 20 years at the helm of the Calgary-based company trying to help oil companies kick the habit with a line of advanced incinerators called “clean combustion thermal oxidizers.” In addition to removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), methane, and other pollutants from associated...

... permeability of shales to gas flow. This increase of permeability comes from the micropores, fine-scale microfractures, and cracks. The nanopores in shales provide gas storage by sorption and capillary condensation of heavier gas components. In the smallest nanopores, even methane molecules are increasingly...

It summarizes experience with the in-situ measurement of methane, ethane, propane, saturates, aromatics, and gas/oil ratio (GOR) on the basis of multivariate optical computing (MOC) conducted at more than 200 pumpout stations in a total of 37 wells drilled...

... that accidental spills of waste water from fracturing could threaten surface water in the region. The peer-reviewed study, which was published in the European journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, showed that methane and saline groundwater were found in some samples, but they occurred naturally in the region’s...

...-to-make filtering material for carbon dioxide separation and capture. Their aim is for this new material to be used at natural gas gathering facilities where it will absorb carbon dioxide from natural gas streams while allowing the methane product to pass through. JPT featured the work in 2014 and, since...

...Vikram Rao Beyond the Headlines Are fugitive releases of natural gas and flaring environmental concerns? Can these be ameliorated today and even better in the future? Yes and yes. A paper in 2011 by Howarth et al. suggested that fugitive methane emissions (releases directly to the atmosphere) from...

... used. The significant difference in relative volatility of methane and CO 2 makes this system an ideal candidate for separation by distillation, were it not for some cold-temperature conditions leading to solidification of CO 2 . At 600 psig, conventional distillation is interfered with, for liquid...

On 18 August, the agency proposed additional measures (EPA 2015) that supplement the earlier regulations and that “together will help combat climate change, reduce air pollution that harms public health, and provide greater certainty about Clean Air Act permitting...

...-temperature subsurface environments. Gases that form under these conditions are typically composed of hydrocarbons ranging from one to six carbon atoms, or methane (C 1 ) to hexane (C 6 ). Biogenic gases form in lower temperature regimes, usually in the near subsurface, as a result of microbial activity...

...) carbon atoms, which are methane through hexane, respectively. Biogenic gases are primarily methane (C1) and very little ethane (C2) and, in some cases, propane (C3), with methane usually accounting for 99% or more of total gas. Thermogenic gas consists of measurable components of fractions heavier than...

... and consisted of three speakers: Jim Sewell with Shell E&P, Joseph Ryan with the University of Colorado Boulder, and Jon Goldstein with the Environmental Defense Fund. A major point of discussion at the session was the effect of methane on the environment and the industry’s role in methane emissions. 1...
