  • Cng Carriers Applied to Remote Marginal Gas Field Developments
    CNG CARRIERS APPLIED TO REMOTE MARGINAL GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENTS C. N. White, EnerSea Transport LLC, US S. McClure, Alan C. McClure Associates Inc., US S. J. Rowe, BMT Fluid Mechanics Limited, UK Prof. D. A. Friis, Centre for Marine CNG, Memorial University of Newfoundland, NL, Canada SUMMARY This paper examines applications of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) carriers, using event-domain simulations to assess transportation system operating efficiency. This new gas transport system requires very limited investment in infrastructure dedicated to a specific field. As confirmed in a recent study for a leading US energy company, it is even possible that gas wells for certain reservoirs can flow directly onto the ship and into storage without any significant in- field investment beyond traditional subsea tie-back facilities. That study investigated the feasibility of developing an ultra-deep water gas field by producing directly from subsea wells into a pair of Gas Production/Storage Shuttles (GPSS™) that alternate between producing and transporting duties. These shuttles are designed using EnerSea Transport’s patented technology for volume-optimized transport and storage of CNG (VOTRANS™). CNG marine transport allows emerging, energy-hungry markets around the globe to access gas reserves that would otherwise continue to remain stranded. The scalable CNG solution may also help energy operators to globally reduce the amount of energy being flared or wasted. As compared to other solutions for de-stranding of gas reserves (LNG & GTL technologies), the shipping of CNG offers a solution that significantly limits the wastage of gas resources that are needed in the emerging markets and the amount of captive investment required of operators.

  • Eastern Mediterranean: Addressing Gas Export Challenges
    EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN: ADDRESSING GAS EXPORT CHALLENGES The Eastern Mediterranean is a complex environment for gas producers and countries aspiring to become gas exporters in the next few years. Not only do they have to deal with the usual industry challenges, but they also have to manage with an even tougher factor: geopolitics. A recent report commissioned by the Norwegian government highlights such difficulties by indicating, among other things, that Israel constitutes a high risk for exporting gas. The report anticipates the country – which boasts the most developed oil and gas sector and the largest proven reserves among newcomers in the Eastern Mediterranean – will have more difficulty exporting its excess gas than, say, Brazil, Angola, or Mozambique. Cyprus faces similar difficulties. Its plans to build an LNG plant in Vasilikos are in doubt since such a plant would require more gas than what has been discovered so far in Aphrodite to justify the construction of this multi-billion dollar facility, although ongoing exploration in the Island’s exclusive economic zone could result in the discovery of new gas fields. On paper, the most reasonable way to monetize Aphrodite’s (and part of Leviathan’s) gas is through a pipeline to Turkey, a large market seeking to diversify its gas supplies. But this option is not feasible unless significant progress is made in the negotiations between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. A pipeline to Greece is not an easy feat and carries an exorbitant price tag. Egypt, with its large market and two underused LNG plants in Damietta and Idku could be an option, either to supply the local market or to liquefy the gas and export it to world markets.

  • PNG, an Innovative System to Transport Gas Economically
    Pipeline Technology 2006 Conference PNG, an Innovative System to Transport Gas Economically Oskar Reepmeyer EUROPIPE GmbH Germany 1. Abstract Natural gas can be brought to the consumer by a fleet of ships with compressed natural gas (CNG) technology. Different proposals for transportation of gas by ship directly from the field to the consumer without the use of costly liquefaction, re-gasification and storage plants have been evaluated for many years. A new type of ship has been introduced having a large number of vertical pipes, designed according to enhanced pipeline design principles transporting compressed natural gas. The weight of the containment system is 50% less of the weight required by con- ventional pressure vessel design codes, making possible a large storage volume. Ships have so far been designed to transport up to 34 MSm3 gas on each voyage. The presented concept for compressed natural gas was introduced by Knutsen OAS Shipping and has been developed with assistance from EUROPIPE GmbH and Det Norsk Veritas. Economic evaluations show that the new Knutsen PNG® is able to fill the gap in the medium range transportation between pipelines and LNG transport for distances up to 3,000 nautical miles. The advantage is less investment in infrastructure and greater flexibility. This new solution is best suited for so called stranded gas fields which are either to small or to far away from the marked to be connected economically by the so far known technologies, pipe line and/or LNG. The potential market for CNG carriers is large as more than half of the world’s known reserves are associated and stranded gas.

  • Cng Transportation Utilizing Composite Pressure Vessels
    CNG TRANSPORTATION UTILIZING COMPOSITE PRESSURE VESSELS Steven Campbell, Trans Ocean Gas Inc. INTRODUCTION The following paper describes an innovative method of CNG transportation. The method utilizes composite pressure vessels which are derived from the national defense / aerospace, and natural gas vehicle industries. The method overcomes all of the deficiencies anticipated from other proposed methods of CNG transportation that propose to use steel based gas containment systems. Existing container ships may be optimized through the use of the cassette gas containment system. The cassette system also isolates composite gas pressure vessels from ship-induced forces. Being modular, installation and removal of cassettes would be relatively easy. The cassette storage system will provide significant economic advantage over potential competitors commencing with a pilot project. This paper will conclude that The Trans Ocean Gas CNG Transportation Method offers a high level of safety, reliability, and economic feasibility. BACKGROUND The first Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) pilot project using steel pressure vessels mounted on the deck of a ship was conducted off the coast of New Jersey in 1966. It was concluded as not being feasible since the weight of steel pressure vessels required would be too heavy for the host ship to carry. CNG development then stagnated for thirty years. Over the past decade, the increased lucrative potential of CNG has renewed interest and spawned several innovative concepts. All but one proposed method use steel containment systems, which still have issues of safety, corrosion, excessive weight, and cost. All of the proposed methods using steel containment systems are requesting factors of safety less than that of the ASME code.

A mathematical model for determining the technical and economic parameters of a movable pipeline module, which is designed for transporting natural gas in a compressed state and consists of a frame structure, the dimensions of which correspond to the 40-foot marine container size and a pipe coil is described. To facilitate construction, it is proposed that a large portion of the coil be made in the form of a two-layer composite construction. The inner layer consists of standard steel tubes or adapters, and the outer layer is fiberglass wound on them. On the basis of the mathematical model an algorithm and a program were compiled, which allowed to determine the technical and economic parameters of the movable pipeline module. The results obtained for the Caspian region are analyzed. Key words: compressed natural gas, movable pipeline, parent vessel, marine freight INTRODUCTION be incorrect, as both technologies are designed to work The issue of transporting natural gas and using it as the effectively across gas transportation projects of different main energy source is extremely important.
