Definition BOE is the acronym of Barrel of Oil Equivalent – a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of Crude oil. One Barrel contains 42 US gallons or 158.9873 litres of light crude oil which will produce 5.8 × 106 British Thermal Units (million BTU or mBTU) according to the US […]
Definition Tight gas is the name given to the unconventional natural gas because it is trapped in a very tight underground hard rock, or sandstone or limestone formation that is unusually impermeable and non-porous called tight sand. Comments In a conventional natural gas deposit, once drilled, the gas can usually be extracted quite readily, and easily. A […]
Definition PMC is the acronym of Project Management Consultancy. It is the synonymous function of PMS, for Project Management Services. PMC or PMS refers to the function provided by the engineering companies contracted as consultant. This consultant supports the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical companies in supervising the good contract execution of the contracts awarded to […]
Definition The coal gasification is a technology that converts coal into a synthesis gas (or syngas) that can then be used to produce chemicals or other products. The syngas produced from coal is also called “Town gas“. The syngas is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O) Comments The syngas issued […]
Definition LNG Train refers to the compressors train used in industrial process to convert natural gas into Liquefied Natural Gas, called LNG. Comments The process to convert natural gas into LNG is based on three steps, gas treatment, gas compression and refrigeration. Since the natural gas contains many non-methane gas and impurities and water which can […]
Definition ASU is the acronym of Air Separation Unit and refers to the Air separation plant to produce industrial gases Air separation plants produce oxygen, nitrogen and argon from atmospheric air, normally by one of three processes: – Non-cryogenic plants produce oxygen or nitrogen gas product from compressed air at near ambient temperature by physical […]
Definition NGL is the acronym of Natural Gas Liquids. These Natural Gas Liquids are also called Condensates and refer to the non-methane hydrocarbon gas such as Ethane, Propane, Benzene, Butane or Pentane which stand at liquid state within the reservoir at underground pressure. Comments While being at liquid state in the reservoir, the NGLs turn […]
Definition Natural gas in a natural mixture of hydrocarbon gas, mainly methane or ethane plus other hydrocarbon gas and impurities such as sulfides, carbon dioxide and water. Natural gas is a fossil fuel found in natural underground rock formations and mostly in combination with other hydrocarbon resources such as coal or oil. Natural gas is […]
