In many parts of the world, technologies to open shale formations for oil and gas production have yielded vast quantities of natural gas. The liquefaction process makes it practical to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) across the globe. In a SmartBrief article,...

Reassessing the Gas Processing Market
Author: Chuck Miller Recently, we've seen many changes in the gas processing marketplace, moving us quickly from a time where we built all forms of infrastructure to a more thoughtful focus on efficiency, reliability, productivity, and reducing operational risks. Our...
Managing Coalbed Methane Wells Feeding LNG Plant
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities require careful pressure management on their incoming gas pipelines. In a recent LNG Industry article, Turn it Up (and Down), Emerson's Michael Calvert describes the challenges and solutions around the Santos Gladstone LNG (GLNG)...
LNG Custody Transfer Reduced Measurement Uncertainty
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) custody transfer has traditionally involved fiscal risk given the uncertainties in traditional tank measurement technologies. Quantities are invoiced in units of transferred LNG energy based on a calculation of volume, density, and gross...
Reducing LNG Measurement Uncertainty
Author: Khadra Helminski The article, Reducing Measurement Uncertainty, puts the current liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade in perspective as we look at dynamic (flow metering) and static (tank level) measurement methods of LNG and the technologies used for LNG bulk...
Energy Industry Leaders Gather at CERAWeek 2014
Author: Douglas MorrisThe 33rd annual CERAWeek Conference, led by Daniel Yergin, was held this week in Houston, Texas USA. This year's event very much echoed the theme from the last couple of conferences and focused on unconventional oil and gas. The effects of these...
Meeting the Challenge of Changing Global Energy Supplies
This post originally appeared over at the Emerson South Korean blog earlier today to celebrate the 200th translated Emerson Process Experts post shared with process manufacturers in South Korea. Thanks to the South Korean Emerson team for their efforts in bringing...
LNG Storage Tank Level Measurement
Yesterday, we highlighted the role of mass-based flow measurement in liquefied natural gas (LNG) custody transfer applications. Today, I wanted to highlight the role of radar tank gauging technology in LNG tank storage applications. I'll point the LNG Tank Gauging...
LNG Measurement Challenges
In an earlier post, Measuring Liquefied Natural Gas, we looked at the move to liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for marine vessels. Emerson's Arjan van Ginkel gave me a peek at an unpublished whitepaper, Best practices for LNG measurement using Micro Motion...
Measuring Liquefied Natural Gas
The autumn season ramps up with several process automation and industry conferences, including our September 30-October 4 Emerson Exchange event to be held in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. I received word of another conference, the Metrology for LNG Conference,...
LNG Fuel Custody Transfer for Marine Vessels
In earlier posts, we've highlighted the use of bunker fuel for marine vessels. With the global trend for increased supplies and decreased costs of natural gas and tightening environmental regulations, marine transportation companies are looking at cleaner burning...
Making Advanced Process Control Practical
It's human nature to operate within a comfort zone. For plant operators, where the stakes are incredibly high, it means operating away from constraint limits. Unfortunately, to maximize the performance of the process, it means to get as close to the limits as you can...
