To meet the terms of the Paris Agreement, it will be necessary to restructure the world economy, make an energy transition to low-carbon development, which will subsequently affect the conventional energy sources industry and, in particular, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector. The article provides an overview of the prospects for reducing the carbon footprint in the gas industry. Technical, political and economic measures of decarbonization formation are given. The prospects of the natural gas export market for Russia are outlined. The classification of technologies related to carbon dioxide capture is presented. Special attention is paid to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the LNG industry.

A decade on from the submission of project initial advice statements to Queensland Government agencies in 2008, this paper provides a retrospective on the development journey of three integrated coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) mega-projects currently delivering domestic and international markets. The process from development concept to operating asset is considered from several perspectives including: project rationale, description and delivery, as well as regulatory approvals. Project delivery is further considered in terms of the upstream, midstream and downstream components. The delivery of world first CSG to LNG is discussed in the context of project execution during significant volatility in the global oil, gas and LNG markets. All three projects have successfully completed commissioning and start-up. Although all six trains have been performance tested at name-plate production capacity, current LNG production is below this level. This paper examines their evolution from the initial concepts through to delivery, including current gas reserves and those required to sustain gas supply over expected project life. The paper also considers how these projects and any future expansion of the Queensland LNG industry will be impacted upon by an evolving global LNG market.

Contaminated Waste

Mercury is a heavy metal that is widespread and persistent in the environment and, even at low concentrations, poses a risk of adverse effects to human health and ecosystems. Mercury is commonly found in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Approximately 1.5 tonnes of mercury arrive at the Karratha Gas Plant each year in feed gas from offshore platforms. Because mercury reacts with aluminium, it must be removed from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) process before the main cryogenic heat exchangers, which comprise ~1000 km of aluminium tubing. For over a decade mercury has been safely removed from the Woodside LNG process and sent to Switzerland for recovery of metals and complete recycling of waste constituents. Here we present the outcome of a 3-year collaboration between Woodside and Contract Resources that resulted in the opening of Australia’s first industrial-scale state-of-the-art mercury recovery facility in Karratha in July 2018. The AU$20 million plant is the largest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and was underpinned by Woodside providing foundation funding through a long-term contract. The facility can handle all mercury-contaminated waste produced by the Australian oil and gas sector now and into the foreseeable future. An unparalleled project delivery taking 3 years to implement from initial discussion to the first batch of waste being processed in Karratha. This paper illustrates the collaboration, innovation and acceleration that occurred to deliver a sustainable outcome for Australian LNG.

Infrastructure Failure

With growing concerns about environmental emissions, the natural gas industry is taking the lead in developing greater understanding of leakage and venting from natural gas systems. Emissions of natural gas from gas transmission networks originate from a number of sources including infrastructure failure, operational/process venting, and fugitive leakage from pipeline equipment. Process venting and maintenance operations often result in significant emissions to the atmosphere. National Grid Gas Transmission has developed a project with GL Noble Denton to investigate and develop technological options to reduce venting of natural gas. One technology developed for gas capture from venting operations is ANG. Here, a storage vessel is filled with a suitable adsorbent material. Activated carbon's large micropore volume and its ability to form densely packed beds make it a suitable adsorbent. When filled to the same pressure, the energy density will be greater than that of the same vessel without the adsorbent. At 35 bar pipeline pressure, ANG can store about half the amount of compressed natural gas at 200 barg. The operation of gas transmission network compressor sites means they vent gas in an unpredictable manner, responding to overall system demands and network flows. Techno-economic analysis has shown the lowest carbon footprint and best economic viability is by using ANG technology. Captured gas can be reused in a variety of downstream applications. Other benefits of ANG include safer, lower operating pressures compared with compressed natural gas (CNG), reduced environmental impact, design flexibility, and lower capital and operating costs.
