    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Natural gas refers to a type of combustible gas that exists in nature.
    It is a kind of fossil fuel.
    Gas field gas, mud volcanic gas, coal bed gas and biogenic gas, etc.
    ).
    The definition of "natural gas" commonly used by people* is a narrow definition from the perspective of energy, which refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon gases naturally stored in the formation.
    In petroleum geology, it usually refers to oil field gas and gas field gas.
    Its composition is mainly hydrocarbons and contains non-hydrocarbon gases, so it burns to produce yellow or blue flames
     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Natural gas is stored in underground porous rock formations, including oil field gas, gas field gas, coal bed methane, mud volcanic gas and biogenic gas, etc.
    , and a small amount is also derived from coal seams.
    It is a high-quality fuel and chemical raw material.

     

    The main purpose of natural gas is as fuel, which can be used to produce carbon black, chemicals and liquefied petroleum gas.
    Propane and butane produced from natural gas are important raw materials for modern industry.
    Natural gas is mainly composed of a mixture of gaseous low-molecular hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon gases.

     

      From 2012 to 2019, the average daily output of natural gas has shown an overall growth trend year by year.
    In 2019, the average daily output of natural gas reached 386 billion cubic meters, an increase of 3.
    43% over 2018.

     

      From the demand side, from 2012 to 2019, the consumption of natural gas showed a trend of increasing year by year.
    In 2019, the total consumption of natural gas was 3.
    929 billion tons, an increase of 2.
    00% from 2018.
    Among them, the United States, Russia, and China are the top three consumer countries in terms of natural gas consumption.
    The proportion of natural gas consumption in natural gas consumption in 2019 is 21.
    55%, 11.
    31% and 7.
    82%, respectively.

     

      Recently, the editor learned from PetroChina Xinjiang Oilfield Company that the risky exploratory well Hutan 1 in the middle section of the southern margin of the Junggar Basin in Hutubi County has achieved a major breakthrough, and the initially proven gas reservoir scale exceeds 100 billion cubic meters.
    It is expected to alleviate the shortage of natural gas in my country
     

      The Junggar Basin is located in the northern part of Xinjiang, China, and is the second largest inland basin.
    There are abundant oil reserves here.
    The total oil resources are 8.
    6 billion tons and the natural gas is 2.
    1 trillion cubic meters.
    Karamay Oilfield is located in the western part of the basin.
    The first ring-shaped gas pipeline network built in the Junggar Basin of Xinjiang has been fully connected, with a total investment of 1.
    8 billion yuan.

     

      So, are there any methods for analyzing the calorific value of natural gas components? It includes gas chromatography, thermal conductivity calorimeter, NDIR non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy, multi- sensor integrated calorific value analyzer, laser Raman spectroscopy and tunable filter infrared spectroscopy.
    These calorific value analysis techniques all have certain limitations.
    For example, gas chromatography requires regular calibration, requires carrier gas consumption, high cost, complicated operation, etc.
    The overall accuracy/repeatability of NDIR non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy is poor, and frequent calibration is required.
    , Affected by environmental factors, etc.

     
    sensor
      Later, the editor would like to say that “coal-to-gas” is a resolutely pursued energy policy in China.
    In the future, natural gas will inevitably occupy a large proportion of my country's energy structure, and there is a lot of room for development of related equipment.
