Natural gas hydrate (NGH) technology holds great promise in natural gas storage and transportation. Utilization of promotor can effectively improve NGH formation kinetics. In this work, we constructed -SO3--rich hydrogel clathrate (poly(styrenesulfonate-co-acrylamide), (PSS-co-AAm)) as promoter...

This second paper on hydrocarbon gas flaring and venting builds on our first, which evaluated the economic and social cost (SCAR) of wasted natural gas. These emissions must be reduced urgently for natural gas to meet its potential as an energy-transition fuel under the Paris Agreement on...

We present a new dataset that tracks changes in legal ownership regimes in the petroleum sector between 1867 and 2008 for a panel of countries. We document that foreign ownership has been taken over by partnerships as the leading ownership regime, while domestic ownership is on the rise again in...

In this paper, we address the potential implications and trends in valuation of oil and gas reserves post COVID-19. As we discuss in this paper, the recent downward fluctuations in price of oil and gas would have a significant impact on the valuation of these natural reserves. Oil and gas...

In order to study the behavioral characteristics of the pore-scale hydrate formation, this experiment employs a high-pressure-resistant visible model in an etched glass plate to study the pore-scale methane hydrate formation and reveal its growth law s in porous media. The experiment shows that...

Russia is one of the key players in the Arctic with ambitions to continue development its Arctic oil resources. Nowadays the only fully launched oil and gas offshore project in Russia is the platform Prirazlomnaya, a number of other projects are at the various stages of realization and their...

Underground gas storage (henceforth; UGS) is considered as a common method which resolves the seasonality problem of transportation and distribution of gas phase in the oil and gas industries. The main objective of this study is to simulate one of Iranian's depleted gas condensate reservoir and...

The estimation of the employment effects of offshore safety and environmental regulation is often highly speculative and based on questionable assumptions. Nevertheless, it is still highly publicized and used as a basis for policy statements in support or, or in opposition to, proposed...

The question we address is whether mandated disclosure about dispersion of non-financial asset values can provide information relevant to assessing firm risk. Using a sample of Canadian oil and gas (O&G) firms between 2004 and 2011, we find that the difference between the disclosed 10th and 50th...

This paper examines how oil and gas companies’ reserves growth affects their share price returns. In particular we examine three issues affecting the relation between reserves changes and oil and gas firm returns. First, we examine if investors value reserves replacement as a result of...

We exploit two regulatory shocks to examine the informational effects of tightening pre-existing mandatory disclosure rules. Canadian National Instrument 51-101 in 2003 and the United States rule “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” in 2009 introduced quasi-identical amendments which...

This paper studies the investment decisions by oil and gas companies operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. We account for the heterogeneity across the fields by including field-specific variables, including geological and geographical variables. We find that the most important factors...

Purpose - This paper aims to explore the international response to the discovery and development of gas fields in the East Mediterranean basin. Design/methodology/approach - The study applies key concepts into a framework and explores the strategies used by nations for developing their influence...

This paper examines how oil and gas companies' reserves growth affects their share price returns. In particular, we examine three issues affecting the relation between reserves changes and oil and gas firm returns. First, we examine if investors value reserves replacement because of exploration...

The newly discovered gas sources establish a political and economic ground for the formation of regional and global alliances in the Eastern Mediterranean. Although these new discoveries have the potential to alter the functioning of po litics and the economy, current and past controversies,...

We investigate the potential for statistical forecasting of aggregate oil and gas investment on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). A unique and detailed dataset containing data from 109 different fields on the NCS between 1970 and 2015 was employed. A set of 1080 autoregressive distributed...

The commercial development of offshore methane hydrates will necessitate planning for accidental risk. Due to the unique risks and hazards associated with the development of offshore methane hydrates, it is unlikely that their development would be capable of beginning without some form of ex...

This paper analyses the possible future role that Turkey can play in European natural gas markets. We employ a global gas market simulation model, COLUMBUS, to assess the outcomes of different scenarios concerning natural gas supply routes to Europe through Turkey up to 2030. The results imply...
