Exploring the Natural Gas Value Chain
From the depths of underground reservoirs to the blue flames on your stovetop, the journey of natural gas is a complex ballet of extraction, transportation, and utilisation—welcome to an in-depth exploration of the natural gas value chain.
Natural Gas Production
Upstream Production Wells
Discover the various methods of natural gas extraction from upstream production wells, fracking, shale drilling and offshore drilling.
Gas Transportation Pipeline
Gas transportation pipelines are critical to the value chain. Learn about the different types of pipelines and how they operate, including gathering lines, interstate pipelines and distribution pipelines.
Minimising waste gas flare
Waste gas flaring poses a significant threat to the environment by releasing harmful greenhouse gases. We’ll discuss the efforts in place to minimise waste gas flaring and improve the overall sustainability of the industry.
Gas Processing and Transport
- NGL Extraction
Gas processing plants extract natural gas liquids, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). We’ll explore how gas processing works and celebrate the diverse application of NGLs in today’s world. - CNG and LPG Storage
From mother and daughter stations to bulk coastal storage tanks, learn more about the different ways that compressed and liquid natural gas are safely and efficiently stored for later use or transportation. - LNG and Trucking and Distribution
LNG is transported by truck or vessel to storage and regasification terminals where it can be withdrawn as natural gas and pumped into pipelines. Many companies who specialise in using trucks or rail for transporting LNG from production sites to distribution terminals have formed. LNG’s versatility and low environmental impact could make it the preferred fuel of the future. - Gas Storage
Gas storage is a critical aspect of the value chain. Learn more about the different types of gas storage and the procedures involved in storing gas reliably and safely for later use.
Industrial and Household Usage
Household Usage
From heating your home to cooking meals, we’ll explore the many ways that households use natural gas to stay comfortable and reduce their environmental impact.
Industrial Usage
Natural gas is used as a fuel, feedstock and raw material across a variety of energy-intensive industries. We’ll share some of the most innovative and promising applications of natural gas in industry.
Environmental Impact and Benefits
Giving Back to the Community
We’ll close the presentation with a look at the environmental impact of natural gas and how it compares to other forms of energy. We’ll also highlight the many benefits of natural gas, such as its low cost, wide availability, and versatility.
