Flared, vented, or leaked: Data shows vented methane is the bigger culprit

Apr 25: Only 10% of global methane from oil and gas comes from flaring. The real offender: venting from upstream operations, now under global regulatory fire.
8LNG’s image as a bridge fuel is under threat. Methane leakages, especially from onshore oil and gas, could derail claims of low-carbon credibility.
8Satellites now monitor flaring and fugitive emissions globally. As their accuracy improves, non-reporting companies may find nowhere to hide.
8Methane’s warming potential depends on how it’s measured. Using a 20-year horizon instead of 100 could triple LNG’s reported emissions footprint.
8Global LNG exporters show huge variation in emissions. Yet few offer transparent, asset-level data. The EU may soon force disclosure.

Apr 25: 8Lummus' technology is is so sensitive, the NDA prohibits even internal use for patent drafting or derivative design work. Any breach?
8Automatic reassignment to the licensor.
8Also, the pocurement tender is by invitation only — unsolicited bids are auto-ignored. A closed circuit for an IP-heavy tender.
8The NDA enforces compliance with anti-bribery laws like the US FCPA and UK Bribery Act. Enforcement sits squarely in New Delhi via DIAC.

This tankage order pushes for brands

Apr 25: 8This tankage order names preferred vendors for sealants and corrosion prevention, meaning non-OEM bidders could face rejection or expensive substitutions.
8No one-size-fits-all here. Each tank type—bitumen, slop, lean amine—comes with its own material, testing, and accessory set.

Contract lets OIL add drilling units without re-bidding

Apr 25: 8The tender allows up to two more drilling service sets to be added within a year, without triggering a new bid process—subject to mutually agreed rates capped at the original award
8And what it does is to relax the requirement of sourcing some materials form brands such as NOV, Derrick, and Swaco, allowing ‘substantially equivalent’ makes instead. This could open doors for lower-cost or local vendor Details

Methane transparency will split the LNG market in two

Apr 25: New rules will be forcing a new divide in LNG trade.
8Between verified, low-emission cargoes and opaque, high-intensity gas.
8Exporters without transparent methane data risk market access, penalties, and falling behind. Details

New to offshore E&P: Learning it the hard way

Apr 25: This is what happens when you are new to offshore E&P
8This offshore survey tender underwent a dramatic transformation, with water depths for two key blocks quietly revised from shallow 100m zones to ultra-deep ranges exceeding 3000m.
8This tectonic correction led to a threefold increase in survey grid size, from 1.5 km² to 3 km², forcing bidders to recalibrate vessel specs, sensor depths, and cost assumptions. Details

Small scale LNG: How did this company get ahead?

Apr 24: It looks like one company has firmly got its grip on the small scale LNG market in India.
8The market can be vast.
8A lack of pipeline network and the proliferation of CBG plants could lead to a explosion in small LNG plants, provided costing is lower than imported LNG.
8Given that the competition is really imported gas, given India's demand supply gap, there is a massive market opportunity here as the cost of processing can be higher yet cheaper than imported LNG.
8With proprietary technology and equipment, the company seems to have hit a goldmine.
8This company, with great local help, was able to crack open the market, and now in India, since one has succeeded, intrepid middleman must rush to capitalize on such business opportunities. Details
