Commercial Possibilities for Stranded Conventional Gas from Alaska’s North Slope     

Emil D. Attanasi  Philip A. Freeman 《Natural Resources Research》2014,23(1):175-193

Stranded gas resources are defined for this study as gas resources in discrete accumulations that are not currently commercially producible, or producible at full potential, for either physical or economic reasons. Approximately 35 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of stranded gas was identified on Alaska’s North Slope. The commercialization of this resource requires facilities to transport gas to markets where sales revenue will be sufficient to offset the cost of constructing and operating a gas delivery system. With the advent of the shale gas revolution, plans for a gas pipeline to the conterminous US have been shelved (at least temporarily) and the State and resource owners are considering a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project that targets Asian markets. This paper focuses on competitive conditions for Asian gas import markets by estimating delivered costs of competing supplies from central Asia, Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia in the context of a range of import gas demand projections for the period from 2020 to 2040. These suppliers’ costs are based on the cost of developing, producing, and delivering to markets tranches of the nearly 600 TCF of recoverable gas from their own conventional stranded gas fields. The results of these analyses imply that Alaska’s gas exports to Asia will likely encounter substantial competitive challenges. The sustainability of Asia’s oil-indexed LNG pricing is also discussed in light of a potentially intense level of competition.  相似文献   

Discovery Sequence and the Nature of Low Permeability Gas Accumulations     

Emil?D.?AttanasiEmail author 《Natural Resources Research》2005,14(2):129-135

There is an ongoing discussion regarding the geologic nature of accumulations that host gas in low-permeability sandstone environments. This note examines the discovery sequence of the accumulations in low permeability sandstone plays that were classified as continuous-type by the U.S. Geological Survey for the 1995 National Oil and Gas Assessment. It compares the statistical character of historical discovery sequences of accumulations associated with continuous-type sandstone gas plays to those of conventional plays. The seven sandstone plays with sufficient data exhibit declining size with sequence order, on average, and in three of the seven the trend is statistically significant. Simulation experiments show that both a skewed endowment size distribution and a discovery process that mimics sampling proportional to size are necessary to generate a discovery sequence that consistently produces a statistically significant negative size order relationship. The empirical findings suggest that discovery sequence could be used to constrain assessed gas in untested areas. The plays examined represent 134 of the 265 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas assessed in undeveloped areas of continuous-type gas plays in low permeability sandstone environments reported in the 1995 National Assessment.  相似文献   

Was the Planck era of the universe a ‘cold’ or a ‘hot’ stage of the Big Bang?     

Emil Ulrych  Pavel Voráček 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1989,159(1):39-45

Two models are presented of the Planck era in the Big Bang.The first of them starts from the state of an essentially cold and non-expanding universe (assumed to be closed). It is shown that the conditions in the Planck era rendered the total annihilation of the matter with the Planck density absolutely necessary. The annihilation was, further, a necessary condition for the expansion of the post-Planck universe, which, by itself, also was a necessity. The hot stage of the Big Bang in the post-Planck era was, in fact, a necessary consequence resulting from the scheme.The second model is motivated by the weak points of the first one. It is concluded that, owing to the extreme physical conditions, the cosmic medium within the Planck era could only consist of ultrahighly energetic photons.Finally, it is proposed that the second model is to be preferred.  相似文献

Total and organic mercury in the Black Sea harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena relicta.     

C R Joiris  L Holsbeek  D Bolbat  C Gascard  T Stanev  A Komakhidze  W Baumgartner  A Birkun 《Marine pollution bulletin》2001,42(10):905-911

This paper reports on mercury (Hg) concentrations in different tissues (liver, muscle, kidney, blubber and brain) of harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena found dead in the Black Sea between 1997 and 1999, mainly bycaught in fishing nets (n = 79). Total Hg and organic Hg (MeHg) were determined. The main factor affecting Hg accumulation was, as expected, age, with MeHg concentration increasing with age. Accumulation of high concentrations of inorganic Hg in the liver was probably due to a slow demethylation process implying the formation of tiemannite (HgSe). In older adults, liver concentrations reached 35 microg g(-1) dry weight ('ppm') total Hg and 3 microg g(-1) dw MeHg. A geographical comparison with existing data from other regions showed a generally low Hg contamination of Black Sea porpoises, one order of magnitude lower than, e.g. in the North Sea.  相似文献   

Crystal structures of iron bearing tetrahedrite and tennantite at 25 and 250°C by means of Rietveld refinement of synchrotron data     

Karen Friese  Andrzej Grzechnik  Emil Makovicky  Tonči Balić-Žunić  Sven Karup-Møller 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(8):455-465

Rietveld refinement of X-ray synchrotron data was performed for two synthetic tetrahedrite samples, with 0.61 and 1.83 Fe atoms, and two synthetic tennantite samples with 0.10 and 1.23 Fe atoms p.f.u. M₁₂(Sb,As)₄S₁₃. Measurements were performed at 25 and 250°C. For both the phases, increased Fe substitution is reflected in the increased tetrahedral ‘Cu1’–S distance (‘Cu1’ is a site of Fe substitution) and Cu2–S distances. Cu2 was refined as a split position; the Cu2–Cu2 split about the plane of the S1₂S2 triangle is about 0.56 and 0.65 Å for tetrahedrite and tennantite, respectively. Cu2–Cu2 distances in the structure cavity are 2.8–2.9 Å. Between 25 and 250°C, the lattice parameter a increased by 0.02–0.04 Å and the interatomic distances by 0.01 Å on an average. Thermal expansion coefficients of little-substituted samples are similar to those of unsubstituted samples, whereas thermal expansion appears to decrease with increasing substitution by Fe. The Cu2–Cu2 split increases at 250°C by about 0.1 Å for tetrahedrite and by more than 0.15 Å for tennantite but the cage expansion is minimal so that the Cu2–Cu2 distances in the cavity decrease with temperature. Difference Fourier maps indicate that there is little residual electron density left between the two Cu2 half-sites in tetrahedrite but this inter-site density is substantially higher in tennantite. It increases with temperature, especially in the little-substituted tennantite sample.  相似文献   

Modeling atmospheric chemistry and transport with dynamic adaptive resolution     

Emil M. Constantinescu  Adrian Sandu  Gregory R. Carmichael 《Computational Geosciences》2008,12(2):133-151

We discuss an adaptive resolution system for modeling regional air pollution based on the chemical transport model STEM. The grid adaptivity is implemented using the generic adaptive mesh refinement tool Paramesh, which enables the grid management operations while harnessing the power of parallel computers. The computational algorithm is based on a decomposition of the domain, with the solution in different subdomains being computed with different spatial resolutions. Various refinement criteria that adaptively control the fine grid placement are analyzed to maximize the solution accuracy while maintaining an acceptable computational cost. Numerical experiments in a large-scale parallel setting (~0.5 billion variables) confirm that adaptive resolution, based on a well-chosen refinement criterion, leads to the decrease in spatial error with an acceptable increase in computational time. Fully dynamic grid adaptivity for air quality models is relatively new. We extend previous work on chemical and transport modeling by using dynamically adaptive grid resolution. Advantages and shortcomings of the present approach are also discussed.  相似文献
