Russian gas exports to Europe have traditionally meant one thing: pipeline supplies from Gazprom. But since December 2017, Russian LNG cargoes from the Yamal LNG project led by the private Russian company, Novatek, have increasingly made their mark, especially in North-Western Europe. Despite...

The majority penetration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) will challenge the stability of electrical transmission grids due to unpredictable peaks and troughs of VRE generation. With renewable generation located further from high demand urban cores, there will be a need to develop new...

The role of gases in the energy transition is a different, and much more immediate, issue in the EU, compared with other global regions. Net zero targets for 2050 mean that in order to retain the gas market and the extensive network infrastructure which has been developed, zero carbon gases will...

We identify regional public investment priorities by studying the development of the water pipe system in the largest district in Poland. For this purpose, we take advantage of a major administrative re-form, implemented on 1 January 1999, which substantially changed the structure of Polish...

The construction of a second Baltic Sea natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany (Nord Stream 2) is very controversial for political, energy economic, and ecological reasons. The project owner and some European energy companies argue that it is a profitable, private-sector investment project...

Der Bau der zweiten Ostsee-Erdgaspipeline (Nord Stream 2) ist aus politischen, energiewirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Gründen sehr umstritten. Der Projektbetreiber und einige europäische Energieversorgungsunternehmen argumentieren, es handele sich um ein privatwirtschaftlich angelegtes,...

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...

In a production network, shocks originating in individual sectors do not remain confined to individual sectors but permeate through the pricing chain. The notion of "pipeline pressures" alludes to this cascade effect. In this paper we provide a structural definition of pipeline pressures to...

IEA estimates that India's economy will grow at higher rate and it will be same as US economy in 2040. The distance from major fossil fuel reach countries to Indian borders are not more than 1000 to 2000 km either by sea or land route. The best possible mode for importing natural gas is...

QuantNet being an online GitHub based organization is an integrated environment consisting of different types of statistics-related documents and program codes called Quantlets. The QuantNet Style Guide and the yamldebugger package allow a standardized audit and validation of YAML annotated...

Significant number of crude oil pipeline vandalism in the Niger delta region of Nigeria were carried out by the militant groups on the pretext for a better environmental management and development of the region. This research work examined the relation between socioeconomic, institutional...

Regions, rich in energy resources, continue to be of crucial interest for our carbon-powered world. There are numerous things at stake to begin with, from international legal status, ownership rights, energy routes, transit corridors, state and corporate interests, environmental hazards and the...

Pipeline geo-politics -- A brief historical overview of energy : lots of options to choose from -- From the source to market : the importance of pipeline networks -- How safe are pipelines?, how are they regulated? -- Pipeline controversies : the Keystone XL and Dakota access pipelines -- Here's...

This paper compares the increases in access rates to piped water in rural Brazil by localized water supply systems under two different management models. It finds that small-scale supply systems operated and maintained by user associations lead to significantly higher increases in access rates...

Exergy destruction in adiabatic pipeline flow of surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions is investigated in five different diameter pipes. The dispersed-phase (oil droplets) concentration of the emulsions is varied from 0% to 55.14% vol. The emulsions are Newtonian in that the viscosity is...

Pipelines that carry much of the world’s oil and gas snake through the depths of the Black Sea, the frigid waters of the Russian Arctic and cross some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. The value of these pipelines, oil and gas installations, and nuclear power plants makes them...

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered to be a promising technology and an effective tool in the struggle against climate change. The method is based on the separation of air-polluting CO2 from fuel gases and its subsequent storage in different types of geological formations. The outlet...

This paper explores the meaning of economic and geographical factors during planning and construction of regional gas pipelines and the distributive gas pipeline network. The demand for a secure natural gas supply imposes the need for expanding the gas pipeline infrastructure, as well as...

The Republic of Azerbaijan is one of the oil and gas rich countires of the former Soviet Union. After the second stage of the Shah Deniz gas field, natural gas exltation and exportation became one of the key issues in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas stategy. Diversification of the oil and gas...
