GE Oil & Gas opens new facility for the INPEX Ichthys LNG project

April 01, 2015

In the beautiful town of Broome, Western Australia, they are expecting some incredible technologies to come visit.  Not the usual tourists, these massive subsea machines will check their bags in at the newly opened GE Oil & Gas subsea facility, before heading 220 km offshore to the INPEX operated Ichthys LNG project.

CSG to LNG: a (very) cool compress

February 18, 2015
On Queensland’s Curtis Island, a giant GE chain reaction has been set in motion. A combination of technologies from across GE—including aero-derivative engines, oil-and-gas centrifugal compressors and power turbines—has been integral to the development and commissioning of a world-first coal-seam gas-to-liquid-natural-gas facility. The unique gas-compression trains take freshly “shrink-wrapped” LNG all the way from regional Queensland to tanks on the island’s dock.

What’s in the Virtual Pipeline?

January 20, 2015

The beauty of virtual pipelines—routes established to transport natural gas by truck, rail or sea—lies in their flexibility and cost effectiveness. And the economics are constantly ticking over to favour gas over diesel in remote and off-grid applications.

Virtual Pipelines, Piping Hot!

January 20, 2015
“Takin’ the freeway, driving the clean way, with Amoco in my machine.” It was one of the most singable advertising jingles of 1970s Australia, an era when the petrol tankers of Amoco, Esso and Golden Fleece thundered along our highways. The ad comes fleetingly to mind as virtual pipelines, which transport natural gas by road train, promise to bring cheaper and cleaner power to many remote mine sites and communities. Takin’ the freeway may sound retro, but these days innovation frequently comes from tweaking the wheel.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree…

December 19, 2014
Christmas comes many times a year at the GE Oil & Gas facility at Bridge of Don in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is from there that GE creates so-called “Christmas tree systems” for the subsea oil and gas industry. The manufacturing hub recently produced two particularly significant trees—the first of 22 to be built to control the flow of gas from the huge INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG Project in the Browse Basin, 200 kilometres off the Western Australian coast.

Australia’s new fling with FLNG

June 10, 2014
Australia has some 15.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Browse Basin off its northwest shelf. There, the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas facility is being built to service two fields, Prelude and Concerto. Meant to stay on-site for 20-25 years and due online around 2016, the Prelude FLNG facility could revolutionise the industry and increase Australia’s balance of trade to the tune of A$18bn.

The Large Potential for Small-Scale LNG

May 05, 2014
It’s widely expected that offshore gas will catch up to offshore oil in importance as the world’s energy demands continue to grow in the years ahead.
Global energy use is expected to grow by 56 percent from 2010 to 2040, and there aren’t enough vessels to meet the fast-growing global demands for LNG. Ninety-six vessels were on order last year—representing a 25 percent growth to the global fleet of around 370 vessels.

LNG Could Push Diesel Trains Into History Books

April 16, 2014
Liquefied natural gas could do to diesel-powered locomotives what the latter did to steam engines: put them into the history books.
A report from the Energy Information Administration said that LNG “will play an increasing role in powering freight locomotives in coming years.”
