ethylene, a hydrocarbon widely used in the chemical industry. The ethylene can be sold as its own product, or it can be processed with other catalysts to produce liquid fuels.

Currently, ethane, used to make ethylene is in high supply and relatively low prices due to increased production from wet gas shale fields.

This does me no good unless they can do the same with diesel.Anywhere between $0.90 and $1.10 a gallon would be great.

I pay about a dollar per therm of nat gas

10 therms is almost a thousand cubic feet of Natural Gas. Industrial Processes who buy gas in far greater quantity pay about half that.

Yes from specially developed gasoline Holsteins.

How much gas is being flared in the Eagle Ford?

Not as much as you might think. Far less than the Bakken. Texas has more limits to what can be flared and for how long.

The state’s flaring regulations — know as Rule 32 — allow operators to burn off excess natural gas while drilling wells and continue to do so up to 10 days after drilling is completed. In other cases, operators can apply for permits that allow up to 180 days of flaring.

Curious to know if gasoline made from natural gas burns cleaner (less emissions) than gasoline made from oil?

Anyone know?

Imagine the necessary “re-branding”..of the corporate IMAGE...of an Oil Company willing to promote “ Truly Organic Free Range Gasoline”

I’d like to see them do a commercially-viable coal to gasoline process.

Aramco will join Siluria’s board of directors and has put together a team studying ways to deploy the technology in Saudi Arabia. Founded in 2008, Siluria has now raised $96 million from such investors as Bright Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Lux Capital.

If their story is as good as it sounds, they wouldn’t need these continuous investments. They would be on their own making a profit by now.

I am aware of Rule 32 and emergency flare orders but some of the flares appear, by eyes on inspection, to have become permanent.

Lower energy prices do not fit ANYWHERE in the plans of the Radical Academics, or the Agenda 21 folks.

Lower energy prices mean PROSPERITY, and that means loss-of-control for those that want to rule us.

If new wells are drilled close enough, the old flare may be used for new wells rather than make one for every well.

Or they may be violating the law and hoping the gas gathering system gets installed before they get shut down.
