Powering the Pilbara—a new market for LNG

April 19, 2017
Three billion litres of diesel fuel imported into the Pilbara each year, primarily to power the mining industry; 5 billion litres of heavy fuel oil annually consumed by ships carrying iron ore from the Pilbara to North Asia. Match these figures with a technological leap in dual-fuel engines, and pressure on carbon and pollutant emissions, and the climate looks right for a revolution in powering Western Australia’s resourceful north.

World's largest floating LNG ship will call Australia home

December 02, 2016
It’s not unusual to see giant cruise or cargo ships out at sea today. But even by those standards, Shell’s new floating liquefied natural gas facility is huge.
Dubbed Prelude, after the gas field where it will operate off the coast of northwestern Australia, the massive facility is 488 metres long and 74 meters wide. Its footprint is as large as four soccer fields.

This Is What We Call A Sea Change! Shell's Floating Giant Will Revolutionize The Natural Gas Industry

November 30, 2016
It’s not unusual to see giant cruise or cargo ships out at sea today. But even by those standards, Shell’s new floating liquefied natural gas facility is huge.
Dubbed Prelude after the gas field where it will operate off the coast of northwestern Australia, the massive facility is 488 meters long and 74 meters wide. Its footprint is larger than an average New York City block, or, if you prefer sports, large enough for four soccer fields. .

Keeping Turbines in Check: A Game-Changing Deal Set to Revolutionise the O&G Industry

August 15, 2016
Faster, better and more efficient. These are just some of the words used to describe the new floating LNG facility built by Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS). This new floating LNG processing and liquefaction facility will open up avenues for extraction like never before, far more efficient than cumbersome LNG plants.
But with any mechanical Titan with a view of changing the game for the oil and gas industry in Malaysia, maintenance will be required.

In for the LNG haul

April 18, 2016
The scope of LNG 18 was broad, as the complexities of LNG demand, and some 6,000 people gathered beside the Swan River in Perth last week to contribute to the discussion of what’s coming down the pipeline for producers and consumers. For an industry based on technology, it’s revealing that one of the strongest themes of the event was social license—people’s perception of LNG.

Modules to megajoules: masterminding a new plan for LNG

April 12, 2016
There’s nothing small about LNG, right? OK, there’s the price of gas. But in Australia, the industry in recent times has been characterised by massive processing plants designed to capitalise on the bounty of vast gas fields; compressing natural gas into liquefied natural gas for cost-effective export to global markets.

Follow The Digital Thread: How GE’s Off To See Profit In The Age Of Cheap Oil

Tomas Kellner
February 03, 2016
Over the last several decades, companies have used tools like Six Sigma and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to squeeze the most out of their factories. But in hard times that may not be enough. “When you have a factory that’s already hitting on-time delivery in 95 percent of cases, what you can do with ERP is limited,” says Anup Sharma, chief information officer at GE Oil & Gas.
