JNTU B.Tech IV NATURAL GAS PROCESSING Previous Question Paper (January/February - 2023 - R18)
Part A is compulsory. In Part B, Answer any one question from each unit.
Part A
Describe the types of Natural Gas Resources.
Answer
Natural gas resources are primarily classified into conventional gas, which is trapped in permeable rock formations, and unconventional gas, which includes shale gas, tight gas, coalbed methane, and gas hydrates trapped in low-permeability reservoirs.
What is Hydraulic fracturing; explain the reason for which the chemicals to be added to fluids.
Answer
Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique involving the injection of high-pressure fluid into a rock formation to create fractures. Chemicals are added to the fracturing fluid to reduce friction, prevent bacterial growth, inhibit corrosion, and act as surfactants to improve fluid recovery and proppant suspension.
Define Physical absorption and adsorption.
