Monetizing stranded gas on a global scale involves a complex array of paths to market along different value chains, and commercializing technologies to tap progressively smaller deposits of gas has brought many second-tier companies into the market. Identifying the optimal path to market involves a thorough understanding of the technologies and costs associated with each respective alternative route, whether LNG, pipeline, reinjection, CNG, GTL, gas-by-wire or another alternative.
Furthermore, the comparative merits are not always easily weighed, since each alternative is attended by its own characteristic risks, economics, market structure, technologies, transportation infrastructure, etc. In many cases, these technologies are barely on the verge of being commercialized.
Suffice it to say that ZECG brings a deep understanding of the value-chain alternatives as well as the technical and economic feasibility, time to market and characteristic risks associated with each new approach under scrutiny today. |
