Definitions

Green House Gases (GHG):  Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, water vapor, and fluorinated gases.

Green Ammonia:  Ammonia produced from green energy, such as water and air.

Blue Ammonia:  Ammonia produced from conventional means where the Carbon Dioxide is sequestered.

Cyan:  The color blue-green or aqua-marine

NH3:  Chemical Symbol for Ammonia

CyaNH3: Ammonia produced from flared, stranded, vented, or waste gas.  While not entirely green by conventional definition, recovering the gas and producing ammonia which is then used to displace heavy-hydrocarbon fuels results is a net reduction in overall GHG emissions. 

Micro:  Natural gas rates of 100,000 to 200,000 cubic feet per day

Small:  Natural gas rates from 500,000 to 10 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd)

Medium:  Natural gas rates above 50 mmscfd

Large:  Natural gas rates over 300 mmscfd

Cyan Ammonia FPSO

Image
September 2023 After a year of R&D, we filed our formal patent for an FPSO capable of producing H2 and/or NH3.  The Cyan Ammonia FPSO is targeted for flared and stranded gas around the world with the option of replacing the front-end of the plant (i.e., the gas to H2) with electrolyzers in the future enabling the facility to be repurposed to produce H2/NH3 from renewable energy when these technologies become economically viable.  While the FLNG solution is suitable for dry gas fields and shallow-sheltered waters, it is challenging to commercialize in un-sheltered water and for rich gas.  It is almost impossible to commercialize offshore stranded gas where the LNG production is below 1 MMTPA (133 mmscfd)  What we discovered during our research (and analysis of 70 associated gas streams from 200 fields) was that the heating value of the associated gas, currently being flared or reinjected, can range from dry to very wet (1760 btu /scf), with an average heating value of roughly 1250 b

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
