A unique tool that can remotely repair polyethylene natural gas distribution pipelines without disrupting natural gas flow has reportedly been developed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh, Pa., under a cost-shared project with T A unique tool that can remotely repair polyethylene natural gas ...
As on-going gas production continues to move from shallow and conventional natural gas resources to more complex geology, sustained natural gas supply will increasingly depend on industry?s ingenuity to develop environmentally friendly technologies that simultaneously lower the costs to drill, complete, and stimulate wells. To address these needs, the Office...
The Office of Natural Gas ONG recognizes that a better understanding of United States' emerging, overlooked, and undervalued natural gas resources is crucial to developing effective strategies for natural gas technology development. Over the past decade, the ONG has worked closely with the United States Geological Survey to produce a...
Throughout the 1900s, the nation relied almost entirely on shallow, high-quality reservoirs to provide natural gas. However, as the "low-hanging fruit" of the nation's resource base are picked, it is becoming increasingly necessary to drill into more complex, deeper, and lower-quality reservoirs to meet rising demands. One of the keys...
The largest tangible cost to drilling and producing a natural gas well is associated with the cost of casing and production strings tubulars. The Office of Natural Gas ONG continues to work with industry to develop innovative alternatives to typical casing programs. This article briefly explains the ?Intelligent÷ completion systems...
