02 / THINKING IN SYSTEMSTHE NATURAL GAS OPPORTUNITY

Gas beyond
the pipeline.

Supply is only one part of the equation. How do you connect it to the industries that need it?

Explore three supply pathways. Each connects a different infrastructure system to the same end use.

PIPELINE GAS SUPPLY
  1. 01Compression
  2. 02Road transport
  3. 03Pressure reduction
  4. 04Metering
  5. 05Industrial use

Compressed gas. Distributed supply.

Gas is compressed for transport, then its pressure is reduced and its delivery metered at the receiving site.

All supply pathways
PIPELINE GAS SUPPLY

Compressed gas. Distributed supply.

Gas is compressed for transport, then its pressure is reduced and its delivery metered at the receiving site.

  • Compression
  • Road transport
  • Pressure reduction
  • Metering
  • Industrial use
PREPARED NATURAL GAS SUPPLY

Liquid in transit. Gas at the point of use.

Gas is cooled into liquid for transport, then returned to gas through regasification before delivery to the industrial user.

  • Liquefaction
  • Cryogenic transport
  • Regasification
  • Metering
  • Industrial use
PIPELINE GAS SUPPLY

A direct connection to demand.

A pipeline connects supply to the receiving facility, with pressure regulation and metering suited to the end use.

  • Pipeline connection
  • Pressure regulation
  • Metering
  • Industrial use

Route selection depends on demand, distance, supply access and site conditions. These diagrams simplify the full system.

Technical background

Learn about CNG and LNG from the U.S. Department of Energy ↗, and liquefaction and regasification from the U.S. EIA ↗.

THE CONNECTION IS THE CHALLENGE.

Consider the supply route, receiving facility and industrial application as one system.

03 / HOW WE CREATE VALUE

From opportunity
to operation.

A clear pathway through each stage of an infrastructure project.

OPPORTUNITY → PROJECT DEFINITION

Start with the right questions.

Understand the demand, test the concept and establish what a practical project needs to deliver.
