________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A special workshop on Electric Compression Economics was held August 27, 2009, at the Petroleum Club of Houston. A list of remarks and presentations with pdf files that may be downloaded are found on the Electric Compression Economics page. The 2009 Gas/Electric Partnership Conference was held February 10-11, 2009, at the Hilton Houston Post Oak Hotel in Houston. Presentations are available for downloading. Sessions feature these topics:
Gas Industry Overview The principle focus of the Gas/Electric Partnership is compression of gas from the wellhead through transmission. UPSTREAM GAS COMPRESSION FORUM The Upstream Gas Compression Forum has been formed to help gas producing firms improve efficiency in gas compression facilities. Producers of gas seek to bring production on fast, keep facilities on line, and continuously improve efficiency. They employ a rental business model for much of their wellhead compression, featuring many units less than 500 horsepower in size, but with a total installed base even greater than that within the transmission industry (where units can exceed 20,000 hp). The UPSTREAM GAS COMPRESSION FORUM provides a discussion forum to deal with the compression contracting topics that are important to the producer, including industry utilization and cost trends, equipment optimization, reliability tracking, service and contracting options, and total cost of ownership. The Gas/Electric Partnership provides services for planners in industries where gas & power are converging -- gas pipelines, gas storage, power generation, and distributed generation. Emphasis is on gas compressor stations, and the numerous combinations of equipment available as shown in the diagram below. Powerful software for facilities planners to scope compressor station investment options is under evaluation in the gas pipeline industry (download brochure). Presentations from previous conferences can be downloaded from links below.
The previous workshop was held January 30-31, 2008, at the Westin Galleria Hotel, in Houston, TX, with dinner at the Petroleum Club of Houston. Here is an overview of the sessions held:
GAS COMPRESSION FROM PRODUCTION THROUGH TRANSMISSION
Gas Industry Trends The workshop was sponsored by 22 industrial firms and it was planned by nine gas production and pipeline companies, with the support of the sponsors. Representatives of these firms meet throughout the year to develop the agenda and program. The 2007 Gas/Electric Partnership workshop was held February 8-9, 2007, in Houston at the HESS Club. These presentations are also available.
