Gas Monetization Studies and Reports

The Gobal Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership commissions studies for its members covering potential solutions to recover and monetize flared and/or associated gas, along with bulletins containing updates on the subject. By special arrangement, information from the studies has been shared with EFI members at EFI's GGFR-supported Gas Flare Monetization forums, and sometime later, on the EFI online portal.

Calgary, Alberta
12 - 13 June 2019

An exploration of some of the most dynamic areas related to sustainable and renewable fuel and chemical production, and emerging processes and technologies enabling the conversion of biomass, biogas, waste, natural gas, CO2 and other low-carbon feedstocks to high-value products.

The forum took place alongside the Global Petroleum Show, the largest energy event in North America, and addressed an increasing interest in downstream technologies enabling a transition to low-carbon, low-emission feedstock monetization and the reduction of CO2 emissions from production and operations.

On the occasion of the forum Alberta-based ChemBioPower and Bio Friends of Korea announced an agreement that will lay foundations for the creation of a microgrid using DME-powered gensets imported from South Korea for use in remote, rural and indigenous regions in Canada.

Houston, Texas

27 - 29 September 2017

The forum program included a keynote talk by ExxonMobil based on the company's annual Outlook for Energy, along with several first announcements by companies related to new technology offerings or commercial developments in the gas monetization space. Haldor Topsoe and Modular Plant Solutions' new MeOH-To-Go small-scale, transportable methanol plant; BgtL's new compact, modular and mobile integrated GTL skid system; use of Galileo Technologies' nano scale LNG technology by Terra Energy in the Bakken; informal updates by GasTechno Energy & Fuels on deployment of its mini-GTL unit in North Dakota's Dimond Field; and an update on the status of SGC Energia's XTLH plant provided notable examples of recent progress.

In addition to a GTL Fundamentals Short Course, delegates were provided with an opportunity to visit INFRA Technology's recently completed M100 GTL plant outside Houston, being readied for start-up after having been flooded during Hurricane Harvey the month prior.

Gas Flare Monetization Forum

Sheraton Denver Downtown

Denver, Colorado

13 - 15 June 2017

Again produced with support from the World Bank's Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR), the forum program featured briefings from several companies that have announced first commercial reference and/or commercial agreements in the first two quarters of 2017. Keynote talks by the World Bank GGFR provided an overview of policy initiatives towards the elimination of gas flaring, and the small-scale gas converstion technology landscape.

Delegates were given an opportunity to visit a Great Western Oil & Gas well pad in the Denver-Julesburg Basin with Pioneer Energy Chief Executive Officer Eyal Aronoff for a firsthand look at one of the company's Vaporcatcher units in operation. The Vaporcatcher captures and monetizes the vapors from tank batteries, eliminating many VOC emissions and providing the oil producer with an additional source of revenue.

Produced with support from the World Bank's Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR), the forum program featured a number of presentations from companies with pilot, demonstration, and commercial operations involving technologies to capture, condition, refine, and/or convert associated and stranded gas to fuels and chemicals. A session on small-scale and modular conversion technologies included many of the companies reviewed in the World Bank GGFR's most up-to-date study on technology providers in this area.

The forum program concluded with an optional site visit program to see production, remote monitoring, and field operations of Pioneer Energy's Flarecatcher units in Colorado. The Flarecatcher separates natural gas liquids from associated gas at the well to produce a dry methane stream available for onsite power generation or for conversion to CNG.

Gas Flare Reduction & Monetization Forum

Denver Marriott City Center

Denver, Colorado

15 - 17 June 2015

Produced with support from the World Bank's Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR), the forum program included sessions on flare reduction, associated and stranded gas monetization strategies, small-scale and modular conversion technologies, and the regional opportunities being pursued amidst reduced natural gas / oil price differentials in the major markets.

Prior to the start of the two day forum Primus Green Energy hosted a reception and presentation at the Wynkoop Brewing Company, and the forum program concluded with optional site visits in Colorado and North Dakota.

The first site visit was to Pioneer Energy near Denver to see production of the company's Mobile Alkane Gas Separator (MAGS) units that separate natural gas liquids from associated gas at the well to produce a dry methane stream available for onsite power generation or for conversion to CNG. The second visit comprised guided tours of sites associated with GE and Ferus Natural Gas Fuels? Last Mile Fueling Solution pilot project in North Dakota, being done in collaboration with Statoil, where gas captured from production facilities is stripped of NGLs, compressed, and transported or stored in tube trailers for consumption in the field as fuel.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

21 - 23 October 2014

Developed with support from members of the Marcellus Shale Coalition and its Natural Gas Use Committee, the forum program included sessions on small-scale and modular conversion technologies, monetization pathways via syngas and methanol, and gas-to-products with a focus on emerging opportunities in the gas-to-ethylene area.

Two site visits were offered as part of the program. The first comprised a guided tour of a WPX natural gas well site and associated facilities covering the technologies deployed and challenges faced in the production, compression, metering, and transmission of unconventional gas in the Marcellus Basin.

The second visit involved a briefing and guided tour of Braskem's Technology & Innovation Center just outside Pittsburgh. Braskem is the largest petrochemical company in Latin America and one of the largest in the world. Along with its parent company Odebrecht, Braskem has announced plans for the construction of an integrated petrochemical hub ? the Appalachian Shale Cracker Enterprise (ASCENT) ? in an area where large reserves of the Marcellus and Utica shale are located.

In addition to the two day forum and annual members' meeting, the event included briefings and guided visits to the Johnson Space Center (JSC) and SGC Energia's Willow GTL Pilot Plant. The visit to the JSC, created just for EFI, involved a look at some of its core facilities including Mission Control and the Flight Control Room (with the briefing given by NASA JSC Flight Director Paul Dye), the Sonny Carter Training Facility and its Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, and a briefing on various engineering and operational assets, facilities, and capabilities of potential interest to companies involved in emerging energy technology and the oil and gas industry. EFI members were then invited to visit SGC Energia?s 1 bbl/day pilot plant at its Willow site (Pasadena, Texas) to meet with some of the company?s engineers and learn more about the process scheme for coal and biomass to liquids the company has adapted for GTL utilizing Fischer-Tropsch concepts. Having achieved all of its objectives since being established in early 2012, the plant was being relocated to serve as a training unit for the company's commercial facility.

Emerging Energy Technology Forum & Site Visits Hotel Contessa San Antonio, Texas 2 - 4 February 2009

In addition to the forum presentations, registrants were given an opportunity to visit Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), an independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization with a staff of more than 3,000. The Institute occupies more than 1,200 acres in San Antonio and provides nearly 2 million square feet of laboratories, test facilities, workshops and offices. SwRI offers the largest independent automotive fuels, lubricants and fluids evaluation program in the world, and EFI members were given briefings and guided visits through the Emissions; Petroleum Products and Research; and Alternative Fuels Technology Laboratories.
