Pressurized LNG - a stranded gas solution and a greener form of LNG

Optimally balancing temperature with moderate pressure can significantly reduce the complexity and cost of producing a liquid phase of natural gas suitable for storage and transport. Currently over 650 BBTU/day are flared in the Permian Basin alone. Adopting this optimal practice to reducing the energy and waste involved in liquefaction brings a greener solution for disposal of associated gas when pipelines are not accessible. The facilities required for conditioning and chilling associated gas for production of conventional LNG requires unattractive levels of investment. Going with Pressurized LNG (PLNG) changes the game. A pioneering cost comparison between PLNG and LNG introduces ezNG Solutionsâ technology as a means to profitably avoid the tragic waste and losses that burden the shale industry.
