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.

Hungry lions loose in the GE Store

April 05, 2016
  • GE Turbomachinery Solutions workshop, responsible for repair and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, is an essential part of GE’s $100 million Oil & Gas facility in Western Australia.

Turning natural gas into liquid assets

October 27, 2015
Picture this: you are sailing, perhaps cruising, the Pacific waters between Japan and northern Australia, and over the horizon comes a 37,000-tonne structure, bigger than a shopping mall with a few levels of carpark, and crowned by a 105-metre flare boom (a third of an Eiffel Tower), leaning off to one side. Ahoy!
That was the topside of Chevron Wheatstone’s natural gas platform on its two-week journey from the construction yards of South Korea to the Pilbara coast, off Western Australia.

A smart retrofit for the CSG industry that steps on the gas

May 19, 2015
The lightbulb moment came on Valentine’s Day 2015. “I remember it—it was a special day of my life,” deadpans Ahmed Ibrahim, strategy and growth leader with GE Australian and New Zealand’s Measurement and Control division. The issue on the table: the growing coal-seam gas industry in Australia, and the valves involved in controlling its distribution, all in turn controlled by positioners.

Dan Jackson Io Oil Gas
May 08, 2015

Plunging prices will force the offshore industry to make the most out of limited resources.

 

The offshore industry has been under a black cloud since the end of 2014, with the oil price crash bringing a seemingly interminable period of doom and gloom. No one can blame operators for the resulting project cancellations and exorbitant cost-cutting measures undertaken in recent months.

Even oil-rich nations need an energy boost. GE is working to provide one for Egypt.

 

Delivering power where it matters and when it matters has been a major challenge for policy makers across the world. Electricity fuels life and growth, and with the population continuing to increase around the globe, the demand for reliable and assured power supply is growing as well, often at exponential rates.

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.

Jeremy Bentham: How Can We Achieve a Low-Carbon, High-Energy Future?

Jeremy Bentham Shell
February 06, 2015
The energy system is at the beginning of an inevitable transition, driven by numerous convergences: growing prosperity, changes in resource availability and technology and cost developments, to name but a few. Tackling the climate change challenge is a fundamental factor we must account for in this shift. However, it is not the only one; we must also address the rising demand for energy — especially in emerging markets.
