LNG-fueled ships still account for only a fraction of the US and global fleets, and it may take several decades for significant benefits of LNG-powered vessels to be realized. It is also possible that alternative ship fuels, including biofuels, electric engines, and hybrid engines, will become more economically viable in coming years. Given the uncertainty surrounding LNG as a ship fuel, it is hard to predict the potential benefits or costs LNG bunkeringmay provide to the US.The combination o

A California refiner has implemented technology to reduce contents of nitrogen oxides (cNOx) and carbon monoxide (cCO) emissions as part of a retrofitting project at the site. ClearSign Combustion Corp., Seattle,Wash., successfully retrofitted its Duplex Plug & Play technology in an up-fired process heater at the refinery. Phase 1 of the program achieved sub-6 ppm cNOx and sub-50 ppm content cCO emissions at firing capacities up to 8 MMbtu/hr, with the system turned over to the team trained.

Novel noncombustion asphaltene uses are enabling refiners to use materials previously considered waste streams in a manner that has a positive environmental impact. Ongoing advances in selective extraction of asphaltenes (SELEX-Asp) technology—a solvent-based physical separation process that selectively removes asphaltenes as dry granulates in heavy crude oils and petroleum residue—continue to provide refiners with a costeffective and flexible solution for realizing maximum value from a refiner

The Canadian government, along with some provincial governments, have set policies to cut methane emissions from 40-45% of baseline value by the year 2025. Baselines might differ between governments, but the overall targeted reductions by Canada are about 25 million tons (Mt) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e) of methane emissions by 2025. The optimal reduction scenario achieves this reduction at a total cost of C$0.4-1.5 billion.The gas supply chain can be broadly divided into upstream, midstr

Erle P. Halliburton personified the American spirit of innovation. Since his early days, Erle gained experience and technical expertise in a variety of engineering enterprises from running a steam crane to working as a shipboard engineer for the U.S. Navy. This was the breadth of knowledge that Erle applied to oilfield technologies, thus beginning the processof innovation that has built the Halliburton Company into one of the world's leading oilfield enterprises.

Erle P. Halliburton founded the New Method Oil Well Cementing Company. 1920 New Method Company brought a wild gas well under control, using cement, for W.G. Skelly, near Wilson, Oklahoma. 1921 U.S. Patent Office assigned patent to New Method for a “method and means of excluding water from oil wells." New Method invented a revolutionary cement jet mixer to eliminate hand mixing of cement. 1922 The company grew rapidly with the Texas oil boom, cementing its 500th well in the Mexia oil field.

Mexico's Tampico-Misantla super basin, which includes Chicontepec, is well known geologically but its remaining oil and natural gas potential hasyet to be properly evaluated, a former executive vice-president of Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) told an American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) meeting. Alfredo Guzman estimates Tampico-Misantlacontains more than 150 billion bbl of original oil in place in conventional oil carbonate reservoirs.oil siliciclastics, and shales. The bas

The article offers suggestions on the use of motion control systems in industries to speed up changeovers and boost productivity. Topics discussed include the use of smart motion systems such as an intelligent track or conveyor system, the improvement in industrial productivity through this, and the decreased reduce energy costs by using smart motion systems.

To be sure, Halliburton was a leading oilfield services company in 2000, when Dave Lesar became its President & CEO. Since then, however, Lesar and his successor Jeff Miller have positioned the company into a truly “blue chip" growth engine. The financial milestones achieved include returning over $15 billion to shareholders by increasing the dividend rate by almost 50%, growing revenue by 73%, increasing the asset base by over 150%, and raising the marketcap by almost 300%.Lesar led Hallibur
