Trends in Unconventional Well Development—Methane Emissions Associated with the Use of Dual Fuel and Dedicated Natural Gas Engines

Journal Article Johnson, Derek ; Heltzel, Robert ; Nix, Andrew - Energy Technology

Abstract The process of unconventional natural gas recovery is becoming increasingly popular as the world’s demand for alternative fuels continues to grow. Natural gas has the potential to be a widely used fuel in the near future due to its availability and potential to displace petroleum‐based liquid fuels. As energy companies extract natural gas, current fuels, such as diesel, are consumed in mass quantities for drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations. To save on costs, and in an attempt to reduce emissions, many companies are investing in dual fuel and dedicated natural gas engines to power these operations. This trend resultsmore »« less

A numerical investigation on methane combustion and emissions from a natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine using CFD model

Journal Article Li, Yu ; Li, Hailin ; Guo, Hongsheng ; ... - Applied Energy

Natural gas (NG)-diesel dual fuel engines have been criticized for their high emissions of unburned methane. The past research on methane emissions from dual fuel engines has focused on the measurement of methane concentration in exhaust gases. The development of approaches capable of minimizing methane emissions requests the detailed spatial distribution of methane in-cylinder during the combustion and post combustion processes. However, it is difficult to experimentally measure the spatial distribution of methane in-cylinder. Here this research presents a numerical study on the combustion process of a NG-diesel dual fuel engine using the computational fluids dynamics (CFD) model CONVERGE coupledmore »« less

Assessment of Methane Emissions – Impact of Using Natural Gas Engines in Unconventional Resource Development

Technical Report Nix, Andrew ; Johnson, Derek ; Heltzel, Robert ; ...

Researchers at the Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines, and Emissions (CAFEE) completed a multi-year program under DE-FE0013689 entitled, “Assessing Fugitive Methane Emissions Impact Using Natural Gas Engines in Unconventional Resource Development.” When drilling activity was high and industry sought to lower operating costs and reduce emissions they began investing in dual fuel and dedicated natural gas engines to power unconventional well equipment. From a review of literature we determined that the prime-movers (or major fuel consumers) of unconventional well development were the service trucks (trucking), horizontal drilling rig (drilling) engines, and hydraulic stimulation pump (fracturing) engines. Based on early findingsmore »« less
