A study of configurational alternatives of a gas-to-liquids process based on Fischer-Tropsch technology
… fluctuating crude oil prices are some of the factors that highlight the need for alternative and environmentally friendly routes to fuels. One alternative is to use Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) as the major technology in conversion of carbon containing feedstock to transportation fuels. The …

Clean energy investments in an uncertain future
The energy sector faces a multitude of challenges related to climate change and energy security. These challenges will likely prompt considerable changes in the coming decades, including significant investment and new market design. To help fulfill multiple goals and limit the necessary tradeoffs …

General equilibrium impacts of new energy technologies on sectoral energy usage
The dissertation examines conditions under which gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology penetration shifts the crude oil-natural gas price ratio. Empirical research finds long-run relationships between crude oil and natural gas prices. Some studies include time trends that steadily evolve the pricing …

System model of small-scale gas-to-methanol conversion by engine reformers
… Venting and flaring of associated natural gas represents significant environmental and financial losses yet it continues in the North Dakota Bakken oil play. The valuable gas resource is wasted due to unfavorable economics and limited pipeline capacity. Similarly in India, underdeveloped …

Applications of optimization to shale oil and gas monetization
… challenges brought forth by the shale oil and gas revolution through the application of formal optimization techniques. Two frameworks, each addressing the monetization of shale oil and gas resources at different ends of the scale spectrum, are developed. Importantly, these frameworks accounted …

A strategy for the commercial development of the liquified natural gas industry in a country with a large natural gas reserve.
… for development of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in a country which has large reserves of natural gas. Its aims were to identify the most applicable business management approaches to produce a process that new or existing LNG organizations could adopt for development of strategy …

Catalytic membrane reactors for synthesis gas production from natural gas via partial oxidation.
Natural gas obtained during the extraction of liquid hydrocarbons is often undesired due to the lack of infrastructure to transport the natural gas to an onshore location. As a result the natural gas is often flared causing economic waste and environmental concern. It would therefore be desirable …

The engine reformer : syngas production in engines using spark-ignition and metallic foam catalysts
An experimental study was performed to assess the feasibility of performing methane (CH4) partial oxidation (POX) in two internal combustion engines: one equipped to perform spark-ignition (the "spark-ignited engine"), and the other containing a catalyst in the engine cylinder (the "catalytic …

NMR Studies of Emulsions in Porous Media and Applications to Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
… (FT) is a promising and greener method to convert natural gas into liquid fuels. However, it is highly complex and remains thus far poorly understood. The work presented in this thesis employs nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to gain insight into and …
