Efficient scrubbing of mercury vapour from natural gas streams has been demonstrated both in the laboratory and on an industrial scale, using chlorocuprate(II) ionic liquids impregnated on high surface area porous solid supports, resulting in the effective removal of mercury vapour from natural gas streams. This material has been commercialised for use within the petroleum gas production indust...

Workers operating in the oil and gas exploration industries are at risk for exposure to sour gas—gas containing H2S (hydrogen sulfide) at potentially toxic levels. Operations located in densely populated areas pose additional threats of exposure to the general public. The danger can develop over time, even if the gas source was initially “sweet” (low in H2S). Local and national regulations defi...

due to easy availability of cheaper raw material and increase in new applications, the use of polyolefins in variousindustries is becoming a major priority. the middle east region, on account of its vast oil and gas reserves has,in the last decade or so, been developing many new petrochemical complexes with their expansion into colossalpolyolefin production capacities. the predictions are that ...

Iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to distances more than 3000Km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize LNG cycles. In this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like Subcooler, Presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...

Energy, due to its increasing usage in various broad areas has been maintained as a vital factor in economic growth and development of societies. Meanwhile, natural gas is considered as one of the most important energy sources. Therefore, the efficiency and the productivity of the gas companies are crucial to be assessed. Numerous examples from industrial multistage processes including internal...

The upstream petroleum industry today faces unprecedented waves of added costs and new regulatory challenges as it tries to navigate the shoals of risk management toward preserving its bottom line. The historical risk factors—e.g., commodity price volatility, geopolitics, etc.—facing the industry have become more complex. Oil and gas price movements are now tethered more to macroeconomic influe...
