The path from regulatory reporting to managing energy and emissions from natural gas processing
Recent
developments to our Benzene Advisor Service will be presented to show
how companies in the O&G sector can both ensure regulatory
compliance and apply innovative engineering tools to manage energy and
emissions in natural gas dehydration plants.

Greenhouse gas emissions reporting:
The upstream oil & gas sector in Alberta, Canada. |
|
|
|
The Province of Alberta has taken a leadership role in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting and management field in North America with the implementation of the first mandatory reporting and reductions regulatory regime. The reasons for this are clear. In the Canadian context the estimated GHG emissions by 2020 from this province are estimated to be in the order of 305 MT compared to the 232 MT projected for Ontario as illustrated in the figure.
Alberta, with 10% of the population of Canada, owns 40% of the emissions. In particular, the oil & gas sector accounts for almost 45% of total emissions as reported by the Alberta Government. Current trends for compliance include offsets and contributions to the technology fund.

Can a general-purpose process simulator be used for flare system design and rating? |
|
Process Ecology has been involved in a number of flare system studies over the years and a question which occasionally comes up is whether a process simulator such as Aspen HYSYS can be used for flare system design and/or rating.
In most cases, dedicated software applications such as Aspentech Flarenet or Invensys Visual Flow are much better options for a number of reasons.
