Falling production against rising demand will see Indonesia become a larger importer of crude oil, refined fuels and natural gas (in the form of LNG) over our 10-year forecast period. Notably, diminishing gas supplies and subsequent pressure to exports will turn Indonesia into a net LNG importer for the first time by 2021. Realisation of the government's ambitious downstream expansion plans cou…
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry is among the fastest growing energy market sectors. The gas terminal in Klaipėda allows Lithuania to import natural gas from various countries around the world. One of the most debatable subjects is the location of the future terminal. The problem pertaining to selection of construction sites for the LNG terminal should be investigated and solved using the …
This paper investigates opportunities for increased profit and reduced emissions and cost by service differentiation within container shipping. Traditionally the strategy among the container lines has been profit maximization by utilizing economies of scale through the building of larger and faster vessels. In 2008, the financial crisis in combination with higher fuel prices put an end to this …
Emissions of GHG from the transport sector and how to reduce them are major challenges for policy makers. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships while in port based on annual data from Port of Gothenburg, Port of Long Beach, Port of Osaka and Sydney Ports. Port call statistics including IMO number, ship name, berth number and time spent at…
Against the backdrop of increased needs for longer operating life of turbine oils, there is a tendency to use amine-type antioxidants for steam turbine oils as well as gas turbine oils. Amine-type antioxidants are known to form sludge during the oxidation process, and the sludge formation from turbine oils involves the high risk for a power plant of bearing temperature rise caused by sludge dep…
Myanmar ' s power mix will remain dominated by hydropower generation over the coming decade, but the gradual realisation of the significant gas project pipeline will see the share of gas rise in the power mix. While the project pipeline for hydropower and coal is also sizeable, project delays and cancellations will present barriers to growth in both power segments. Myanmar's power secto…
A solid exploration drilling programme in Myanmar will identify new gas resources, likely sufficient to support new expo rts to either China or Thailand within the next ten years. Exploration drilling in Myanmar continues to deliver positive results, likely leading to an uptick in new wells over the back end of 2017. Woodside Petroleum is leading the charge following a gas discovery at its Pyi …
The purpose of this paper is to study how managers in manufacturing firms approach the challenge of knowledge management in their organizations.
