Since 2014, Australia’s LNG producers have seen a significant reduction in LNG price. To support ongoing profitability, the Australian CSG–LNG industry must reduce the cost of the additional surface infrastructure required to sustain gas production to their LNG processing plants. This paper explores how engineers can assist the Australian CSG–LNG industry to reduce the cost of that sustain phase surface infrastructure. Through use of a case study, this paper concludes that the ability of the engineer to significantly reduce costs through detailed design optimisation and project execution are limited. To significantly lower costs, the engineer must be mandated to review and challenge the established upstream infrastructure design as part of a revisited concept select stage. The revisited concept select stage should consider a philosophy that initially provides infrastructure with only the minimum functionality and capacity to ensure safe transfer of production fluids into the gathering networks. For any particular well, modular additions could be made to that infrastructure, if economically justified, based on the known performance of that well. Through use of a minimal cost base design that is flexible and expandable, the engineer can allow for the unique performance of any particular well or field section without subjecting the project to the high cost of providing unnecessary infrastructure on each well. To support the recommended approach, small and knowledgeable engineering teams who are willing to challenge the status quo and incorporate lessons from present operations will be required.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas has proved to be an essential source of fuel through the mild blue glowing flame it produces on ignition in the presence of oxygen. This source of heat has made it suitable for use as cooking gas. Various developed countries have been able to transport gas to homes for heating of homes and as cooking gas using grids while considering environmental conditions specific to that country. This study unveils a distribution mechanism for effectively transporting cooking gas safely to homes in Rivers State. This gas distribution plan is a one supplier strategy which could be government or private owned. Choba community was used as a choice case study because of its strategic position. Also, the gas properties such as RVP, Pressure and Temperature were analyzed together with the pipe properties. The project impacts on the major environmental components of the study area were assessed and considered. The distribution routes considered locations of present gas processing plants in Rivers State and optimized routes for transport was introduced. Local terminals to ease distribution, monitoring and safety were also included. The economic analysis of this study will show how the distribution of cooking gas to homes can increase the utilization of Nigerian gas and improve the benefits from Nigerian gas in the next 10 years.

Abstract Overview was led to explore the relationship between advertise direction, creation process, item execution, authoritative execution and budgetary execution. The motivation behind this overview was to research connections among showcase direction, dispatch technique, item execution, hierarchical execution, gainfulness and budgetary execution. Target populaces were representatives of chose Ethiopian lager processing plants BGI Ethiopia who are as of now devouring the item; from which test was resolved through critical inspecting strategy. Asked information was gathered by means of study poll, direct relapse examination was led to check the relationship among driving variable. At last it was discovered that organizations' gainfulness and money related execution are being impacted by advertise direction, dispatch technique, item execution and hierarchical execution. Firms are prescribed to concentrate on improving business sector direction, dispatch system, item execution and hierarchical execution to support productivity and budgetary execution.

This chapter considers the following question: How do small-town middle Americans adapt to rapid cultural change that is more typical of big-city life? Postville, Iowa, was singled out for attention over all the other rural midwestern or southern towns that also house corporate beef, pork, or chicken food-processing plants. It had all the trappings of an “exotic” case study; the new owners of the meat-processing plant were city people, from Brooklyn, and they observed an orthodox form of Judaism, Hasidism. And despite the fact that the kosher meat-processing plant, Agriprocessors, was family owned and operated, it has been managed much like other notorious corporate firms that have relocated to rural places to cut costs related to unionized labor and the transportation of livestock. Management, moreover, recruited immigrant labor from the ex-Soviet republics, Asia, Israel, and Latin America. When Immigration officials raided Agriprocessors on May, 12, 2008, it was further revealed that the majority of the workers were undocumented. This chapter is based on ethnographic research, conducted at different points of time in the town's recent history. It draws upon a tradition of critical ethnographic inquiry into transnational circuits of migration and meat-processing communities to examine the particulars of how this place is a contested social field wherein different players struggle over macrosociological meanings of citizenship and belonging in locally specific ways.

A study is described which shows the need for a system to collect data that give farmers market signals related to meat quality, to enable them to make decisions on how best to achieve good returns from their animals. A case study is presented for one of eight Northland farms where on-farm handling, nutritional factors and transport factors that may affect meat quality has been monitored. The high variability of meat quality parameters between mobs from four farms is highlighted. For beef quality to improve, quality must be measured, and benefits to farmers and meat processing plants must be based on the quality of the product. A value-based payment system is strongly advocated, an essential requirement of which would be a beef trading database. Five main groups are identified which would provide input to the database: the seed-stock industry, commercial cattle breeders, cattle finishers, meat processors, and meat exporters. A national standard for describing beef quality is urgently required and is a prerequisite for any database. Keywords: beef quality, case study, database, meat quality, monitor farms

Push for sustainability is evident in areas such as energy generation where the focus has been on finding new deposits to outpace drawdown on existing reserves. Gas flaring is employed by oil and gas industries to burn-off associated gasses from refineries, hydrocarbon processing plants or oil and gas reserve wells. It is one of the most taxing energies and environmental problems challenging the world today. Generally, safety flaring was dubbed as the saviour of process plants and mostly covers for sudden or unplanned plant trips. It is an opportunity to cut greenhouse gases (GHGs) from oil and gas processing plants through flare gas recovery (FGR) process. Oil and gas plants can employ diverse FGR procedures to offset key concerns about the environmental bearing of GHGs emanation most of which necessitating novel apparatus and extraordinary outlay of design and construction. In this study, apart from economic aspects, a real-life case study is extensively analysed to highlight exploration and adoption of optimizing FGR that may be beneficial if flare gas can be recovered, instead of burning. The output of the study may have a significant impact for refineries towards both economic and sustainability towards greening. In a nutshell, this study highlights the efficacy of reducing ‘flare gas system’ towards environment-friendly ‘greening’ aspect as the core of designing.
