in the area of asset appraisal.
-
Management of the study for
privatization of the Barbados natural gas sector.
-
Major pipeline system economic/technical
reviews for the Special Committee to the Peruvian Government,
the Ministry of National Infrastructures, Israel, and
British Gas for the Office of Gas Supply.
-
Pipeline contracting assistance
for ENDESA in connection with the Argentina-Chile pipeline.
-
Determination of non-monopolistic
sectors of the energy industry for Gas Del Estado, Argentina.
-
Economic optimization of
the exploitation of indigenous hydrocarbon resources for
the Ministry of Petroleum & Minerals, Oman.
-
Business/economic/technical
reviews for: AIG (power generation from 31 LFG sites nationwide),
OPIC (Cuiaba power plant in Brazil, and oil and gas reserves
in Yemen), Chase Securities (Gas Atacama pipeline Argentina/Chile),
Credit Lyonnais (pipeline project, US), CIT/Newcourt (underground
natural gas storage project and separate sugar refining
facility, US), Bank Santander (Electrogas pipeline, Chile),
National Westminster Bank (Alliance Pipeline, Canada/US),
Inter-American Development Bank (Transmetano pipeline
and gas reserves, Columbia), Salomon Brothers (Marquita
to Cali pipeline and offshore reserves, Colombia), Credit
Suisse and Kansallis-Osake-Pankki (warranted reserves
and risk assessment), Banque Paribas (reserves and pipeline,
Italy), Enron/Lehman Brothers (Hainan power plant, China),
Bank of Nova Scotia (power generation, US), Sumitomo Bank
(Bakersfield enhanced oil recovery analysis for power
plant supply and natural gas supply review for Libby-Owens-Ford
gas plant), EPRC (El Paso Refining, appraisal of competitive
and earnings capability, US); Coastal Corp (refinery managerial
assessment, Germany).
-
Expert witness testimony
for independent electric system operators (NE ISO, PJM
ISO).
-
Northeast Regional Gas Pipeline
Simulation - direction of pipeline optimization work and
construction of simulation models for the Northeast Power-Grid
Regions of The PJM Connection, NY-ISO, New England ISO
and Ontario's IMO. This family of interconnected models
is used to analyze postulated contingencies on the gas
pipelines to determine their potential effect on power
generation.
-
Oil Refineries - development
of least-cost monthly operating schedules for all major
processing units at a number of Midwestern US refineries.
-
Argentine Natural Gas Pipeline
Simulation - design, development and implementation of
a transmission pipeline model of the Southern Pipeline
in Argentina for the largest distribution companies in
the country (Pampeana and Sur). The model encompassed
more than two hundred and fifty delivery points along
the pipeline and is used for daily nominations, dispatch
and balancing of supplies.
-
Gas Supply - development
of all natural gas optimization models for a leading international
management consulting practice. These formal LP optimization
tools are used to plan, purchase, schedule, and transport
gas in the most efficient manner.
-
Rationalization of energy
resource development and optimized transportation of energy
products through creation of an LP model for a Middle
Eastern country.
-
Analysis of the economics
of various processing proposals prior to deciding on a
joint venture to construct a Middle Eastern petrochemical
complex.
-
Ammonia Producers - simulation
of the production economics for each U.S. manufacturer
based on forecasts of natural gas purchase costs and processing
costs for various size plants.
-
Large Western U.S. Coal Producer
- blending of chemical and physical properties of different
coal seams to match contract specifications of purchasers
through use of a new LP model.
-
Canadian Gas Distributor
- economic analysis and process selection for remote island
methanol-to-gas production facility.
-
Specialty Chemical Producer
- analysis of kinetics for better reactor design for a
high-volume product using reaction rate equation simulation.
-
CNG - work on behalf of local
distribution companies (LDCs) in preparing plans to fuel
fleets with CNG.
