“…To perform the solubility tests in the PVT equipment, first the PVT cell is cleaned and evacuated. The high-pressure cell is then charged with the gas and desired volume of the aqueous EG solution (∼ 50 cm 3 ). The cell containing the EG solution and the gas is pressurized by the displacement pump to the desired pressure.…”

“…The marine transportation of compressed natural gas (CNG) is a new alternative to monetize stranded natural gas reserves − The methods and apparatus for transporting compressed gas include a gas storage system having a plurality of pipes connected by a manifold whereby the gas storage system can be designed to operate in the pressure range of the minimum compressibility factor for a given gas composition. Diverse systems are proposed for ship-based transport of CNG.…”

“…In general, marine CNG systems are based on uploading and unloading to ships under variable pressures; however, one of the systems is based on loading and offloading under isobaric conditions. 3 A displacement fluid [such as ethylene glycol (EG)] may be used to load or offload the gas from the gas storage system. It can also be used as an inhibitor to prevent hydrate formation in flow lines.…”

To avoid making billion dollar mistakes, operators with discoveries in deepwater (∼3,000m) Gulf of Mexico (GoM) need dependable well performance, reservoir response and fluid data to guide full-field development decisions. Recognizing this need, the DeepStar consortium developed a conceptual design for an Early Production System (EPS) that will serve as a mobile well test system that is safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The EPS is a dynamically positioned (DP) Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel with a bundled top tensioned riser having quick emergency disconnect capability. Both oil and gas are processed onboard and exported by shuttle tankers to local markets. Oil is stored and offloaded using standard FPSO techniques, while the gas is exported as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This paper summarizes the technologies, regulatory acceptance, and business model that will make the DeepStar EPS a reality. Paper published with permission.

“…EnerSea's proprietary technology (VOTRANS TM , or "Volume-Optimized Transport and Storage") recognizes the relationship between the weight of the containment system and gas compressibility behavior in gas storage design [2]. Natural gas is a complex fluid that exhibits non-ideal gas properties when cooled below ambient temperatures and or compressed above about 70bar (1000psi).…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractEnerSea has advanced its design for the marine transport of compressed natural gas (CNG) through use of its proprietary technology, VOTRANS TM ("Volume Optimized Transport and Storage"). Over the past six years, EnerSea's design has been validated through completion of all testing required by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and project opportunities are now being progressed worldwide. E&P operators and many markets are increasingly expressing interest in transporting natural gas via CNG marine solutions. This paper will describe the innovative VOTRANS CNG solution and the state of its readiness to meet the immediate energy needs of stranded markets worldwide. It will also present case reviews of two gas transport projects utilizing CNG marine transport solutions which are currently in preproject development planning.
