What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas is generally considered a nonrenewable
fossil fuel with methane as main ingredient. NG is colorless, tasteless, and odorless.
Natural gas is recognized as a safe and environmental
responsible fuel and has reduced emissions in manyparts of the world.
Heating value of natural gas usually varies from 700
Btu/scf to 1,600 Btu/scf.[1]
Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to global
warming, is produced from oil and coal at a rate
approximately 1.4 to 1.75 times higher than
production from natural gas.[3]

Natural Gas Compositions
Natural gas is a hydrocarbon
gas mixture consisting primarilyof methane, but commonly includes
varying amounts of other
higher alkanes and even a lesser
percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen,
and hydrogen sulfide.

Natural Gas Uses In Homes and Commercial Building:
space heating and water heating. It is also
used in stoves, ovens, clothes dryers, lighting
fixtures and air conditioning.
Electrical Power Generation
NG emits 30% less carbon dioxide than
burning oil and 45% less carbon dioxide than
burning coal.[4]
As Raw Material:
Urea, Ammonia, Antifreeze, Plastics,
Pharmaceuticals, Methanol, Butane, Ethane,
Propane, and Acetic acid.
GTL process (gasoline, diesel)

Natural Gas Uses-cont. As Heating Source:
In making glass, steel, cement, bricks,
ceramics, tile, paper, food products and
many other commodities. Also used for
incineration at many industrial facilities.
Natural Gas as a Vehicle Fuel
Natural gas has significant advantages over
gasoline and diesel fuel. Natural gas vehicles
emit 60-90% less smog-producing pollutants
and 30-40% less greenhouse gas emissions.
It also costs less per mile to operate anatural gas vehicle compared to a gasoline
or diesel vehicle.[4]

Natural Gas ProcessingThe three basic reasons forprocessing raw natural gas are
the following: Purification: Removal of
materials, valuable or not,that inhibit the use of the gasas an industrial or residential
fuel Separation: Splitting out of
components that have greatervalue as petrochemicalfeedstocks, stand-alone fuels
(e.g., propane), or industrialgases (e.g., ethane, helium)
Liquefaction: Increase of theenergy density of the gas forstorage or transportation.

NG Transportation Pipelines.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Compressed natural gas (CNG).
Gas to solids (GTS): hydrates.
Gas to power (GTP): electricity.
Gas to liquids (GTL): Diesel, or methanol.
Gas to commodity (GTC): cement, iron.

World Picture of Natural Gas Natural gas is definitely a viable option in bridging the energy gap to
the next century. NG is sustainable because of it is large amount
reserved and supply in increase.

The future of Natural Gas
On the supply side, it is growing:
New drilling technology makes it possible to extract quantities ofnatural gas from tight shale formations that were unproductive inthe past.
Compressing natural gas into a liquid (LNG - liquefied natural gas)enables countries without pipeline access to markets to producegas and ship it to distant locations.
New sources of natural gas: coal-bed methane, landfill gas anddeep water drilling.
On the demand side:
Low prices motivate using of natural gas as a replacement fuel.
Some electric utilities can easily switch to natural gas. Favorable for the environment
Emissions legislation could result in a dramatic increase in naturalgas consumption in the electric power industry and other sectors.
Using as a vehicle fuel.

Sudan Energy Problems
Nowadays, Sudan suffers severe financial crisis with the eminent
demise of 75% of its oil revenues that represented over 90% of
its foreign currency after the secession of its Southern part after
a constitutional referendum.
Industrial production growth rate in Sudan (2012 est.) -28.9%,
the main cause of that the energy sources problem.
The only possible solution will be through finding new energy
source, and replacing the conventional ones with it.
The most important energy sources are: solar, water, nuclear, oil
and natural gas. From these NG is seen as the most appropriate
solution.

Sudan Natural GasAccording to the Oil & Gas
Journal (OGJ), Sudan and South
Sudan have 5 billion barrels ofproved crude oil reserves as of
January 1, 2013. According to
BP's 2013 Statistical Review,
approximately 3.5 billion barrelsare in South Sudan and 1.5
billion barrels are in Republic of
Sudan.

Sudans Natural Gas cont. The proven reserves of
associated gas amount tosome 11 billion cubic meters.[source: Ministry of WaterResources & Electricity ofSudan].
The share available forproduction accounts
represents less than a thirdof this amount (approx. 115billion cubic feet or 3.3 billioncubic meter).
There are considerable finds
of natural gas underdevelopment, one being thewell to supply Al Fulaamounting to 130 billioncubic feet or 3.7 billion cubicmeters of gas available forproduction.

Sudans Natural Gas cont. In addition, there are estimates of 770 billion cubic feet or 22
billion cubic meters of natural gas available in South Kordufan,
at Red Sea and to a small extent in Blue Nile state.[4]

NG Syllabus Initiative NG is clean and lower price energy sources.
In Associated Gas fields, oil and gas are produced at the same
time. Oil is sold to markets, but gas when infrastructure or local gas
markets do not exist or when GAS is not included in theagreement between the processor and the producer isreleased to atmosphere,
It is either vented (not ignited) or flared (ignited), and the lastone is dominated because of that the global warming potentialof methane is 21 times that of CO2, so each methane moleculewould be 21 times better burnt than vented.
The main reason of the above problems is the absent ofknowledge and clear vision about natural gas.
For these reasons, S.U.N get the initiative of NG
Syllabus.

Faculty
Part of faculty (Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Clean Energy, Green Engineering etc.)

projects related to gas.
Trainings.
