Onshore Natural Gas Pipeline Transportation Alternatives: Capital Cost Comparisons
In recent TOTMs (January through April, August, and September 2012 and again in January 2013), we discussed several aspects of the physical behavior and transportation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and natural gas in the dense phase. We illustrated how thermophysical properties change in the dense phase and their impacts on pressure drop calculations. The pressureContinue Reading

Low Pressure Vs High Pressure Dense Phase Natural Gas Pipeline Transportation
Capital Cost (CAPEX) Comparisons High pressure (or dense phase) is increasingly used for transporting large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and natural gas over long distances. In this month’s – Tip of the Month (TOTM), we continue to explore key aspects of dense phase transportation in pipelines. This month’s focus is on the estimation ofContinue Reading

Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Dense Phase Natural Gas Pipeline Transportation
Dense phase is a favorable condition for transporting carbon dioxide (CO2) and natural gas as well as carbon dioxide injection into crude oil reservoir for enhanced oil recovery. Pipelines have been built to transport CO2 and natural gas [1] in the dense phase region due to its higher density, and this also provides the addedContinue Reading
