Overview

WOC5 Expert Forum 5.A addresses ways in which renewable energy can contribute to retain gas as an important fuel for the residential, commercial, industrial and transport sector.

 

Right now many governments are planning energy strategies with CO₂ reduction as a primary goal. Many countries are even planning zero - or close to zero - CO₂ solutions in 30 to 40 years, and are counting on energy to come from renewable solutions like wind, sun, biomass, biogas and waves. One important question for these countries is what will happen with the natural gas grid.

 

The natural gas grid is already established and has a lot of advantages that can average out disadvantages when combined with fluctuating renewable energy. The natural gas grid can

• absorb excess fluctuating renewable energy (for example wind power)
• deliver ancillary services to the (renewable) power system
• deliver storage (security of supply) for renewable energy/power

Technologies for the upgrading of biogas to bio methane "Green Natural Gas" is already used in some countries, but the conversion of power to bio-methane/green natural gas is still under development.

Objectives

The environmental impact that the natural gas industry generates is relatively small compared to other hydrocarbon fuel sources. Nevertheless there are opportunities for further improvement. This topic addresses and shares best practices aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the natural gas industry in exploration and production, storage, transmission and distribution and utilisation. Best practices include technologies, measures, programmes and regulations that result in GHG emission reductions and/or enhance energy efficiency along the natural gas value chain.

 

In terms of life cycle GHG emissions, the emissions from production to distribution account for approximately 20% of total emissions from the natural gas value chain. This same figure is approximately 10% for oil and coal. The loss of natural gas from production through distribution is also a global environmental concern given that methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a powerful GHG, approximately 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reduction of CO₂ emissions and prevention of methane venting and leakage along the natural gas supply chain are two promising fields of opportunity for further GHG emission reductions.

Objectives

Global LNG trade has increased by more than 40% between 2004 and 2010 and continuous growth of around 7% is expected up to 2020. The share of the spot trade in total LNG trade has increased from 5% in 2004 to around 21% in 2010. Significant hurdles to further enhance global trade are still in existence. Ideally an LNG vessel should be able to load an LNG cargo at any terminal in the world and discharge LNG wherever it is required. Differences in echnology, sizes and configurations for ships and terminals limit the ability to trade LNG freely. Furthermore, LNG quality and inter-changeability remain a barrier for LNG in becoming fungible in all global markets. The session will present information on existing loading and receiving terminal compatibility with various ship sizes and configuration. The study group will develop recommendations for enhancing compatibility between the full range of LNG ships and loading and receiving terminal facilities.

 

Content

Report to be presented by Study Group D.1.

 

This topic reviews information on existing loading and receiving terminals' compatibility with various ship sizes and configurations and, in addition, works on developing recommendations for enhancing compatibility between the full range of LNG ships and loading and receiving facilities. The report will be able to be used as guidelines and will also provide references, codes & standards information for Greenfield, Brownfield or expansion projects.

Objectives

Storage demand is driven by various mechanisms. In mature gas areas, the importance of storage services will grow further as long as long-distance base load supply continues to rise. In a liberalised market environment, UGS, in addition to its traditional role, could be used as a trading tool to enhance gas value. New storage facilities will be developed to secure the operations of new pipeline projects. In areas where gas is developed towards end-users (Asia, Latin America, etc.), UGS facilities are core and cost effective tools to match supply and demand on a peak and seasonal basis.

 

Therefore, new projects are designed, built and commissioned to provide new storage capacities adapted to each market. These new projects must provide good performances and have a reduced environmental impact.

 

Content

After an introduction presenting a comprehensive overview of UGS projects in the world, this session provides:

• a review of security of gas supply and UGS in developing gas markets
• case studies of new UGS projects
• new technologies dedicated to new projects
• UGS design with reduced environmental impact

Overview

It is anticipated that in the medium term, the global energy mix will move toward the increasing use of less CO₂-intensive fuels. In this context, this group will critically analyse the reliability and applicability of the hydricity model and re-analyse a sustainable development model that is based on natural gas as the cleanest energy source. It will evaluate the dynamics of moving to a low carbon future, including energy efficiency and considerations for sustainable development. It also looks at whether the eventual shift to the hydricity model will be realistic and assesses sustainable development based on gas as the best energy source.

Objectives

Several parameters are about to transform existing UGS into key assets in the near future. The NIMBY ("Not In My Back Yard") factor makes new infrastructure development difficult, especially in densely populated areas such as Europe. Upsides and optimisation of existing UGS are generally much more profitable than building new ones.

Therefore, operational technologies and methodologies in increasing capacities and improving performances of existing UGS are of major interest.

 

Content

The session will be introduced by a presentation of WOC2 database 2012 update and trends of the activity. This database presents more than 600 UGS in operation all over the world.

This session will also include:

• a discussion on technical improvements in design or operation to use facility capacities at their maximum (debottlenecking, multi-cycling, marginal development)
• a review of end-user and gas market needs in terms of flexibility, reliability, withdrawal and injection rates
• a panorama of regulatory and commercial frameworks related to capacity allocation

Objectives

Study Group C.3 has investigated the gas markets in Europe and Russia, with emphasis on growth potential, security of supply, price and regulation. The region is one of the most interesting and complex in the world, with demand centres located far from the reserves, varied energy policies and markets at different maturity stages.

 

A number of security of supply constraints have been dimming the potential demand in the region, especially in the midstream segment of the gas value chain, such as the availability of pipelines, storage facilities and LNG infrastructures. As a consequence, it is important to debate on how to best combine variables such as portfolio and supply diversity, marginal volumes and system integrity to maximise security of supply, while protecting the interests of suppliers, importers, traders, consumers and general stakeholders.

 

Growth potential for natural gas has always been a major focus of attention, but some key drivers must be revisited considering the peculiarities that subsist in mature and developing markets, such as price competitiveness, technology, efficiency, CO₂ emissions, natural gas for vehicles, natural gas as feedstock, "side" products and complementary to renewables.

 

Finally, a most important theme to be analysed in this session is the regulatory framework, especially the 3rd Package outline and some of its implementation issues, including the role of national and supra-national regulators, and the current debate on long term contracts, indexed in oil, versus spot and alternative hybrid mechanisms.

 

Content

• Triennial report study presentations performed by Study Group C.3 leaders Alfred Redlich, Austria, Julian Bowden, United Kingdom and Robert Bosnjak, Croatia.
• Selected experts will be invited to comment on the related topics and will engage in a constructive debate with the audience.

Objectives
The reputation of natural gas will not come naturally.

 

Climate change has become one of the top political issues. Ecological awareness and the requirements of using low-carbon energies have strongly increased. Furthermore, security of supply is on the agenda with domestic gas reserves running short in many regions. At the same time, consumers have a choice, for example with electricity generated from renewables, clean coal or nuclear power.

 

An industry sector that succeeds in addressing these and other issues with a strong and credible voice will gain support with policy leaders, media, employees, communities, governments and other stakeholders that matter to the success of the industry.

 

Understanding and responding to what others think of our industry is the key to progress. In this session, we want to gain insights into the current image of gas, the desired image and what drives our reputation. Do stakeholders believe our industry is innovative, that it cares about the environment, is a great place to work, is concerned with communities, has a sustainable energy vision, shows personal engagement and is open-minded and approachable? When there are gaps, how do we address them?

 

Content

• The session will bring together business leaders as well as experts in the of reputation management, corporate communications and public affairs.
• The study group will also present case studies from around the world, showing reputation campaigns that have helped strengthen the image of gas.

Overview

The gas industry nowadays faces great challenges and demands a more diverse set of human, political, mechanical and technological capabilities than ever before. Competition for natural resources has driven companies to explore and produce in harsh, remote and even hostile locations, where even the simplest of logistical tasks can be difficult and costly. One of the requirements to overcome these challenges is to have a competent workforce.

 

One can basically imagine the gas industry as a loose "marriage" of disciplines working together to make a profit. In general, there are two main categories of technical staff in the E&P side of the industry. Firstly, there are the explorationists, who are being tasked to identify prospects, locate traps and solve other G&G matters in order to quantify the in-place. Secondly, there are the development and production professionals whose main focus is on developing these fields, drilling the wells and producing the reserves.

 

In this expert forum, we plan to discuss the relative importance of these two types of professionals in the E&P sector of the gas industry and their contributions in ensuring their company is a profitable organisation

Objectives

To support UGS developments as well as operation on existing facilities, both technologies and competencies are needed. One resource without the other will be useless.

 

Technologies and competencies for UGS have similarities to those used in other industrial activities (such as oil and gas production, gas transmission and salt mining), but there are also unique characteristics and requirements. The objective of this session is to present different situations where synergies between technologies and competencies have reinforced UGS operation and management, and increased sustainability.

 

Content

A report on the situation of competencies in UGS activity as well as the activities promoted by WOC2 during the triennium will be presented as an introduction. A focus will also be made on new technologies implementation requiring new competencies. Examples of best practices promoted as common practices will be given.

Objective

Utilisation of renewable gases offers the opportunity to improve the sustainability of the natural gas industry. Originating from renewable biomass, these gases can be used as such, or upgraded to bio methane quality to be distributed and used with natural gas, thus contributing to improving its carbon footprint. Furthermore, this opens the potential for countries with nonexistent or insufficient indigenous resources to improve their self-sufficiency in energy. Because of local contexts, the biomass, the production techniques, the distribution and use may vary.

 

The benefits of renewable gases and their synergy with the gas industry will be highlighted in this session.

Overview

This forum will debate the numerous definitions for security of supply and demand in liberalised and non liberalised markets, and the very distinctive visions that often prevail in the upstream and downstream segments of the gas value chain. Ultimately, security of supply is something everyone wants, but is not always ready to pay for, so a balance must always be developed between security and liquidity for the benefit of consumers. Lessons learned from unbundling experiences, tendencies in contracts, environmental regulations, private mineral rights, spot market development and capital availability are some of the topics of interest for this panel.

Objectives

Internationally traded LNG has penetrated new markets in the recent years. Countries such as Argentina, Chile and Kuwait are recent examples of this expansion of the LNG trade. Many more countries exhibit a potential for entry into the LNG market. With new LNG production capacity additions in the near term, the opening of new LNG markets could play an important role for the efficient utilisation of new gas resources. This session will study recent new market entrants to identify the factors that have led to the development of these new LNG markets. It will also seek opportunities to apply lessons learned to other markets and develop creative solutions to bring LNG to markets and customers thus minimising barriers for LNG entry into the market.

 

Content

Report to be presented by Study Group D.2.

 

This topic involves a study of recent new market entrants to identify factors that have led to the development of these new markets for LNG, and includes opportunities to apply key learnings to other markets to develop creative solutions to bring LNG markets to customers whilst eliminating barriers to LNG's entry into the market.

Overview

The increased use of LNG, biogas and hydrogen in the future together with new transit pipelines developed moves the focus more and more onto gas quality. Regions of the world that experienced until recently stable gas quality in their grid have started to experience changes in the gas quality that are not always without consequences on end users.

 

Moreover the widening of the ranges of gas quality parameters in future regulations is seen as a measure to facilitate the trade of gas and to avoid the dependency on existing sources and therefore increase the security of supply.

 

The objective of the session is to inform and facilitate exchange on gas quality issues in existing markets worldwide, the impact of gas characteristics variation on utilisations and the remedies for domestic, commercial, industrial and transport sectors.

Objectives

New LNG projects will find it increasingly difficult to meet the key criteria of profitability and public acceptability. LNG plants are likely to be in remote and hostile locations usually involving difficult gases, challenged by high construction costs and lower natural gas prices. Additionally LNG plants are subject to increasing public opinion and increased environmental group pressure. The session will explore various alternatives that can address the issues mentioned above and review opportunities to further enhance efficiencies in existing facilities.

 

Content
Report to be presented by Study Group D.3.

 

This topic aims to explore various alternatives, such as new onshore and offshore technologies and different construction approaches, that can address issues including; remote locations, relatively small gas reserves, low quality feed gas, and NIMBT opposition. Furthermore, to look for opportunities to enhance efficiencies in existing facilities by reducing gas/energy consumed in existing LNG plants, ships, and terminals with debottlenecking, flare and boil-off reduction, re-liquefaction, use of cold energy and other innovative solutions. The report will be able to be used as a guideline and will also provide references for benchmarking with other energy sources.

Overview

The major challenges we face in the 21st century are to ensure reliable, economic and environmentally compatible energy supplies and to meet ambitious climate protection targets. If power generation from renewable sources is to be expanded as planned, it is time to find solutions to integrate the highly volatile and unpredictable nature of renewable power generation. Natural gas can be part of the solution for the ecological transformation of energy supplies, not just a transitional solution. Technology is the key to accomplish this. Value creation should ideally go along with appreciation by society. Therefore PGCE has designed this session as an arena for dialogue with and among dierent stakeholder groups (NGOs, etc.). The discussion will be on ecological transformation of energy supplies of the integrated energy system.

Overview

The gas industry has a remarkable record of innovation and technological deployment to turn resources into marketable production. This topic reviews the past and prospective evolution that the concept of de-risking plays through exploration and appraisal and reviews de-stranding resources, in terms of real cases. Approaches to secure market volumes and prices needed to pursue different kinds of development are also considered. The aim is to demonstrate that portfolio management supported by elaborated exploration and appraisal practices and proper assessment of economics will be the basis for prioritising future exploration and production gas developments. Other related aspects, such as Nano-Technology, production technologies and enabling conditions for development such as NGL's co-production will also be addressed in this expert forum.

Overview

Pipeline integrity is recognised as a priority and regarded as important to demonstrate that the safety of the public at large and the company's own personnel can be guaranteed. Therefore, it is very important not only to make use of lessons learned after an incident but also to learn from other companies about the different threats and the most effective measures to reduce these threats. However, an important part of pipeline integrity depends on having the personnel to operate and maintain the pipeline systems safely and adequately. The question is where we can find the right personnel for this job in the future. A selected group of speakers will be invited to share their experiences and all presentations will end with a challenging statement that will stimulate a lively discussion with the audience.

Objectives

To maintain and increase the market shares of natural gas on domestic and commercial markets, all the actors of the gas industry have to invest in the development of new technologies that will enable customers to consume less primary energy with more comfort. It means that the main actors of the gas industry - producers, distributors and manufacturers - will have to share the same technological road-maps to convince customers of the benefits of natural gas.

 

This session will be launched by the presentation of different technological road-maps established in different countries.

 

Content

Three topics will be presented on three major families:

• Micro-CHP: Stirling engines, internal combustion
• Gas and hybrid heat pumps
• Fuel cells

 

Each topic will be presented with special focus on:

• Proximity to market
• Communications (installers, after sale services, customers)
• Services done around the products
• Smart Grids compatibility
• Business models (target price, price of energies, patents etc.)

Overview

The gas industry is one of the pioneers of CO₂ capture, transport and sequestration: natural gas technologies and expertise have been developed and improved for decades and these improvements are useful for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. In particular, some significant gas production projects include treatment processes to separate, transport and re-inject CO₂, turning a constraint into an opportunity.

 

After presenting a panorama of the main CCS projects in the world (demonstration plants projects are being built and planned), the session will demonstrate that although some scientific and technical problems must be solved, CO₂ sequestration projects have already been launched and others are expected to be launched in the future.

 

The key purpose of this session is to highlight challenges to CCS, such as technological, regulatory, HSE and economic aspects, and to evaluate if different CCS business models can be sustainable.

Objectives

Demonstrating successful combinations of natural gas and renewable forms of energy in the future energy market will be one of the main topics for this session. Strong marketing activities and significant technologies are needed in order to promote the combinations successfully. The intention is to demonstrate this with several examples of both small and large scale. These kinds of projects give the natural gas supplier the opportunity to improve its public image especially in regions where natural gas is seen predominantly as a fossil, and therefore ecologically damaging, form of energy. These projects not only grant renewable energy somewhat an access to the natural gas system, but they give the natural gas supplier the opportunity to market the technologies as THE way to get access to the use of renewable forms of energy which the client in most cases would not have.

This session furthermore aims at showing the major marketing mixes and instruments regarding natural gas for the dierent sectors, backed with examples. Presentations will demonstrate the business behaviour of wholesaler and retailer and marketing strategies across dierent sectors, showcasing dierent marketing campaigns and highlighting key success factors, pitfalls and possible failures.
