Non-conventional gas is natural gas found in unusual underground deposits such as very impermeable reservoirs, tight deposits, hydrates, coal bed methane or coal deposits.

An unconventional reservoir is one that cannot be produced at economic flow rates or that does not produce economic volumes of oil or gas without assistance from massive stimulation treatments or special recovery processes and technologies. Unconventional reservoirs are often larger than conventional ones, but also more difficult and expensive to develop.

It is not unusual to discover natural gas deposits containing substantial levels of nitrogen. More often than not, these discoveries are not developed because the nitrogen levels exceed the four percent inert requirement for pipeline gas. A Nitrogen Rejection System may provide an economically practical approach to the development of these resources. Nitrogen rejection can be accomplished in several ways. Three of the most commonly used methodologies include cryogenic systems, techniques that utilize a solvent for hydrocarbon recovery, and the pressure swing adsorption process. The technology chosen for removing nitrogen depends largely on a number of variables including the volume of gas to be processed, the quantity of natural gas liquids present in the methane mix, and the nitrogen level in the gas. > >

When a discovery is made, it becomes necessary to decide on the optimal number of wells to be drilled to befit development costs and consumption needs of the market. On average each natural gas well can flow at a rate of about between 75 MMscfD to even up to 150 mmscfd

A 404 km 36 inch export pipeline that links a riser platform in the central North Sea with the gas processing terminal at Teesside which became operational in 1993. BG Group has a 51.18% interest in the CATS pipeline and terminal which is operated by BG and which has a peak gas capacity of around 1700 mmscfd

Nitrogen oxides include various nitrogen compounds, primarily nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). They form when fossil fuels are burned at high temperatures and react with volatile organic compounds to form ozone, the main component of urban smog. They are also precursor pollutants that contribute to the formation of acid rain and to impairment of visibility.

The GSA will generally oblige the seller to deliver any quantity of gas nominated by the buyer, as long as nomination is between the minimum nomination level and the delivery capacity.. Seller will be relieved from this obligation only through FM
