Exploration and Production
2006-2009 Triennium Work Report October 2009 WORKING COMMITTEE 1: EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION Chair: Vladimir Yakushev Russia 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction SG 1.1 “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” report SG 1.2 “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources” report 2 INTRODUCTION Reliable natural gas supply becomes more and more important for world energy sector development. Especially this is visible in regions, where old and sophisticated gas infrastructure is a considerable part of regional industry and its stable work is necessary for successful economy development. In the same time such regions often are already poor by conventional gas reserves or have no more such reserves. And there is need for searching new sources of natural gas. This is challenge for exploration and production of natural gas requiring reviewing strategies of their development in near future. The most important questions are: how much gas still we can get from mature areas (and by what means), and how much gas we can get from difficult reservoirs and unconventional gas sources? From this point of view IGU Working Committee 1 (Exploration and Production of Natural Gas) has established for the triennium 2006-2009 two Study Groups: “Remaining conventional world gas resources and technological challenges for their development” and “Difficult reservoirs and unconventional natural gas resources”. The purposes for the first Group study were to make definition of such important term now using in gas industry like “mature area”, to show current situation with reserves and production in mature areas and forecast of future development, situation with modern technologies of produced gas monetization, Arctic gas prospects, special attention was paid to large Shtokman project. -

Primus Green Energy P a g e | 0 Primus Green Energy Alternative Drop-In Fuel Economical. Practical. Local. A 12-13 Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _____________________ Daniel Tocco _____________________ Sam Miraglia _____________________ Joseph Giesecke Primus Green Energy P a g e | 1 Abstract Primus Green Energy project was an Interactive Qualifying project done by students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to assess the projected impact of Primus Green Energy’s synthetic gasoline process in the transportation sector. Their effectiveness was evaluated on the potential to reduce the United States’ dependency on oil and to reduce the price of gasoline. Students calculated the ideal gasoline production for a single plant using numbers provided by Primus with biomass used as a feedstock. Other companies were researched and used to form a baseline comparison with Primus when tracking their progress and extrapolating current demonstration data to a larger scale. Primus Green Energy P a g e | 2 Acknowledgements We would like to thank Professor Robert W. Thompson for his time, effort, assistance, and insight as advisor over the course of the project. We would also like to thank the following individuals who corresponded with us on various subjects: Todd Keiler of Worcester Polytechnic Institute for his assistance in understanding patents and patent law; Tomi Maxted and Jerry Schranz of Beckerman Public Relations for their help in contacting Primus Green Energy; and Dr. Nan Li of Primus Green Energy for taking the time to answer questions specific to Primus’ plans and operations. -
