Oman seeks to broaden international collaboration in green hydrogen production ◾ The global shift towards clean and sustainable energy sources has recently led some countries to sign green hydrogen deals with the Sultanate of Oman.  ◾ The contracts were signed with developers from roughly 9 nations, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, the Republic of India, Singapore, the State of Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. ◾ The agreement lays out the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, including the government, private sector companies, and international partners, in developing the industry. ◾ Moreover, it highlights the growing importance of green hydrogen as an alternative energy source and positions Oman as a key player in the local and global energy markets. ◾ The agreements on binding commercial terms will see $20 billion over the next seven years, with a production capacity to deliver a total of 15 GW of electricity over an estimated area of 1,500 km2 in the governorates, on six land parcels in the Al-Wusta and Dhofar regions in southern Oman. ◾ These agreements included commercial terms of the contract for a period of 47 years, including 7 years for the development and construction of projects and 40 years for an operation. ◾ Also, the agreement encourages Oman to develop renewable energy sources, which is important for making green hydrogen. ◾ Another important aspect of the agreement is its potential to create jobs and boost economic growth in Oman. ◾ The shift towards green hydrogen and green ammonia production will create new jobs and opportunities for the Omani people, reducing the country's dependence on traditional industries. It is expected that the growth of the green hydrogen industry will create a lot of new jobs, especially in engineering, construction, and operations. ◾ The production and export of green hydrogen could potentially become a significant source of revenue for the country, particularly as global demand for clean energy sources continues to grow. ◾ But there are also problems that need to be solved for the green hydrogen industry in Oman to grow. ◾ One of the biggest problems is that it costs a lot more to make green hydrogen than it does to make fossil fuels. This is partly due to the high cost of renewable energy sources such as solar power. But the cost of making green hydrogen is expected to go down as technology gets better and economies of scale are reached. ◾ Another problem is that there isn't enough infrastructure to make, move, and store green hydrogen. This needs a lot of money to be spent on infrastructure, which can slow down the growth of the industry. The agreement, on the other hand, lays out a plan for building this kind of infrastructure, and international partners could also help with knowledge and The source: Zawya #energyticslimited #energyefficiency #renewableenergy #greenhydrogen

IEEFA’s Haneea Isaad warns against viewing Iranian #gas as a panacea for Pakistan’s #energy needs, emphasizing it is “another imported commodity subject to geopolitical considerations and linked to global oil prices.”   She says the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline would need to offer better rates to be economically viable.   “The only advantage [for #Pakistan] to have Iranian gas is if there is a guarantee of firm supply at favorable rates, with existing Qatari gas contracts at US$13/million British thermal unit (MMBtu) and spot market prices even lower at US$8/MMBtu.”   https://lnkd.in/giGuV7nz

UAE TO LAUNCH TENDER FOR FOUR NEW NUCLEAR REACTORS The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to launch a tender for the construction of a new nuclear power plant, and intends to seek bids within the next few months to build four additional nuclear reactors. Unconfirmed reports suggest construction could begin by the end of 2024, with the aim of having the new facility operational by 2032. The upcoming tender will be open to a wide range of potential bidders, including firms from the US, China, and Russia. South Korea will not be granted preferential treatment even though it provided four of its APR1400 units for the Barakah nuclear station near Abu Dhabi. Once completed, the new plant would double the UAE's commercial nuclear power capacity, allowing the country to meet its growing energy demands with clean, reliable nuclear power. #NEI #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy

〆Qatar Energy, in collaboration with its maritime company Nakilat, has finalized long-term charters and ownership arrangements for nine LNG carriers. 〆These vessels, each with a tank capacity of 270,000 cubic meters, will be constructed at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China. 〆Since the last delivery of an LNG vessel in 2019, Japanese shipyards have ceased the construction of LNG ships. Nakilat, which means "transportation" in Arabic, was established in 2004. Qatar Petroleum and other government-related entities hold 50% of the shares. The remaining shares were made available to the public through an initial public offering (IPO) in 2005. Qatar Energy, the national oil and gas company of Qatar, has signed long-term contracts for nine QC-Max class LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers, each with a capacity of 270,000 cubic meters, with its maritime company, Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat). Nakilat will own and operate these vessels, which will be used by Qatar Energy to transport its increasing LNG exports by sea. The last LNG vessel ordered from a Japanese shipyard was delivered by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in September 2019, and since then, no new LNG ship orders have been placed. In Japan, there are calls for the revival of LNG shipbuilding in domestic shipyards from the perspective of future energy transportation, but challenges such as rising construction costs are a concern for the shipyards. In late April 2024, Qatar Energy announced plans to construct 18 new QC-Max class LNG carriers. Of these, nine will be owned and operated by three Chinese shipping companies, while the remaining nine will be managed by Nakilat. On May 8, 2024, a signing ceremony for this contract was held at Qatar Energy's headquarters in Doha, attended by top executives from both companies. Qatar Energy plans to build these 18 QC-Max class LNG ships at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China, with completion scheduled between 2028 and 2031. The new ships will have a cargo tank capacity of 271,000 cubic meters, surpassing the current largest Q-Max class ships (260,000 cubic meters) and becoming the largest in the world. In addition to these 18 QC-Max ships, Qatar Energy has ordered 104 standard-type LNG carriers of 174,000 cubic meters to increase LNG production and replace existing vessels, bringing the total new LNG ship orders to 122. The first of these ships is set to be operational by September 2024. Prior to the long-term agreement for the nine QC-Max ships, Nakilat had already signed a long-term contract with Qatar Energy for 25 panamax-type LNG carriers, which are being built in South Korean shipyards. Out of the 122 new LNG ships Qatar Energy plans to build, Nakilat will own and operate 34. 〆中東のカタールエナジーは、同国の海運会社のNakilatとLNG運搬船９隻の保有、長期用船契約を締結した。 〆船型はタンク容量２７万立方㍍型、全船を中国の滬東中華造船で建造する。日本の造船所は２０１９年のLNG船の引き渡しを最後に、LNG船の建造が途絶えている。 カタールの国営石油・ガス会社カタールエナジーは同国の海運会社カタール・ガス・トランスポート（Nkilat）と27万立方メートル級のQCマックス型LNG船9隻の長期契約を締結した。 Photo courtesy=Nakilat

#EACOP_FOR_NON_TECHNICAL_PERSONS_PART_10 Considering a constant flow of 210,000 barrels of crude oil being dispatched per day from Hoima heading for Tanga port continuously. If all conditions will have to remain constant that would mean a moment would arrive when the crude has no where to be put. In a bid to work out a solution, another very important Above Ground Installation was recommended for adoption in the #FEED (front end engineering design) . This is the #Marine_Storage_Terminal (MST). It will surely serve as a facility that will be constructed in form of a port with well demarcated #berths against the Indian ocean waters. Foundations of high grade steel and concrete will be setup onto which four big tanks each of holding capacity worth 500,000 barrels of crude. This means at full loading,the MST will be able to store up to two million barrels of crude at any one time. Equipped with future tank expansion area, the marine storage terminal is going to be a real State of the art installation with high quality tanks instrumentation and quite a centenary tonnage of interconnected pipes . The four big tanks will be in the #floating_roof type. In simple terms, the top cover of the tank slides and rolls either up or down depending on the total volume of crude oil contained in the tank. The MST will definitely constitute other components as listed but not limited to the following: helipad, workshop, #trestle_to_loadout_facility, operator facilities, office building, recirculating heat exchangers,power generators, mobile pig receiver, diesel fuel storage tank,export crude custody transfer meter skid, crude bulk heat exchangers, recirculation or transfer pumps, loading pumps,pig receiver,crude oil strainers, pressure control reducing skid, surge relief skid as well as the four 500k barrels crude oil storage tanks . Briefly, that would be the layout of the Marine storage terminal. As an extension of the Marine storage terminal there is also another above ground installation that is known as the #Marine_jetty that extends almost a distance of 2km into the Indian ocean. The jetty will have foundation piles, process equipment, electrical, instrumentation as well as Telecom installations. The major setup on the jetty will be the #Load_out_facility. As the name implies, it will be the platform where the #Suez_max crude oil tankers will be loaded with that crude from the EACOP before it heads up for international waters. Summarily, the load out facility #LOF basically constitutes the following:trestle, holding tank spills containment areas, holding tank export MLA drains, holding tank import MLA drains, access tower(shore to ship), compressor unit, Marine loading arm, temporary pig launcher (import pipeline for gasoline), temporary pig launcher (import pipeline for diesel), foam monitor, temporary pig launcher (for the export pipeline). We are going to handle codes and specifications for EACOP in next part. Please kindly follow for more. Thanks.
