Inferior speed capability, yet faster speed: Evidence from entry into liquefied natural gas industry
… on the post-demand shock market in the Liquefied Natural Gas industry caused by energy market liberalization in 2000. This previous research found that firms with superior pre-entry speed capability are more likely to enter the post-shock market. In my research, I find that firms in the post-shock …

Housing-Related Migration in the Marcellus Shale Region of Pennsylvania
Since 2008, hydraulic fracturing of natural gas, or "fracking," has brought economic and environmental changes to localities in the Marcellus Shale region in Pennsylvania. In some rural counties, the sudden influx of activity associated with gas extraction created boomtowns, whereas urban areas saw …

Novel inorganic membranes for gas separation
… for CO₂/CH₄ separation which is critical in the natural gas industry. The systems that were reviewed included zeolite, carbon, polymeric, mixed matrix, amorphous silica, and supported ionic liquid membranes. Supported ionic liquid CO₂/CH₄ selective membranes were synthesized in our laboratory by …

Exports of Iranian natural gas to regional and international markets: a study of political, legal and economic barriers
… thesis critically examines exports of Iranian natural gas to regional and international markets. Owning the world’s 2nd largest proven natural gas reserves, Iran can potentially be considered a major gas exporter. Yet, stringent international sanctions, coupled with domestic politicisation of …

Reciprocating compressor lubrication – lubricant dilution with natural gas species and the impact on lubrication rates at various operating conditions
Reciprocating compressors are ubiquitous in the natural gas industry as they provide much of the pressure necessary to move natural gas from the wellhead to the customer. Many of these compressors use lubricants to reduce friction and wear at the piston-cylinder interface. These lubricants have a …

Investigation of Methane Emissions and Sources
Methane (CH4) is an important trace gas and the most potent greenhouse gas in the global atmosphere. This study addressed CH4 related issues using a multi-pronged approach to monitor, characterize, and quantify CH4 emissions and sources through three observational platforms including Remote Methane …

Studies on the Degradation of Desiccants in Temperature Swing Adsorption Processes and the Adsorptive Separation of Sulfur Compounds from Industrial Fluids
Adsorptive technologies are essential to the natural gas industry and environmental protection. In natural gas systems, adsorbents remove water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas through dehydration and sweetening processes. Adsorptive separation also can remove CO2 …

Corporate bodies and chemical bonds : an STS analysis of natural gas development in the United States
Natural gas extraction in the United States in the early 21st century has transformed social, physical, legal and biological landscapes. The technique of hydraulic fracturing, which entails the high-pressure injection into subsurface shale formations of synthetic chemical mixtures, has been viewed …
