Deep Dive into Offshore Flaring and Stranded Gas

Image
Deep-Dive into Offshore Flared and Stranded Gas While Cya NH3 intends to develop a solution for each of the three opportunities, we are the furthest ahead with a solution for off-shore flared and stranded gas.   This page therefore focuses on flared and stranded gas from off-shore developments. Data is provided in a combination of Field (English Imperial) and Metric units following regional industry conventions.   For example, Field units tend to be preferred in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, while Metric is the norm in Brazil. General As discussed earlier, the de-facto solution for gas monetization has been the following in preferential order. ·        Collect and sell gas to local consumers, ideally transmitted via pipe-lines.   ·        If the distance to the consumer is excessive (field and project specific but notionally a 1000 miles), consider conversion of the gas to liquified natural gas (i.e., LNG).   Currently for this solution to be economical, typically any new

Did you know the world currently flares over three trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year?  In countries like Brazil and Nigeria, this is not just unnecessary green-house gas emissions, but a missed opportunity: because the gas could be used to produce a valuable Nitrogen-based fertilizer.  The natural gas to Ammonia process is over a hundred years old and used to produce roughly half of all the Ammonia consumed today.  We, at Cyan Ammonia, believe that through the deployment of small modular plants, we could capture enough gas to meet the increase in demand for Ammonia over the coming decade, while reducing green-house gas emissions, and potentially sequestering the carbon dioxide through reinjection. Ammonia is not only a feed-stock for fertilizer, it is also a carrier for a carbon-free fuel:  Hydrogen. Would you rather have Natural Gas Flares or Fertilizer? About Us
