A drawdown compressor assembly for recovering natural gas from a gas line includes a first tubing configured for connection to a first pipe of the gas line at a one end of the first tubing. A compressor is attached to an opposite end of the first tubing and configured to draw natural gas from the first pipe through the first tubing and into the compressor for being compressed by the compressor. A second tubing is connected to the compressor at one end of the second tubing and configured for connection to a second pipe of the gas line at an opposite end of the second tubing. Activation of the compressor draws the natural gas from the first pipe through the first tubing and delivers compressed natural gas to the second pipe through the second tubing.

Portable natural gas distribution systems for dual fuel fleets such as hydraulic fracturing fleets are described.

A wide-area power supply system has a small impact on the environment and is highly economical, as a wide-area power supply network that uses hydrogen energy without requiring conventional transmission towers, etc., the wide-area power supply system comprising: a primary power plant; a hydrogen production facility which produces hydrogen by using electricity from the primary power plant; a primary hydrogen storage facility distributed over a wide area; a secondary hydrogen storage facility distributed for each primary hydrogen storage facility; a regional power grid which sends power to power consuming facilities or dwelling units within a residential area; a secondary power generation facility which is installed within the residential area and converts hydrogen transported via the primary hydrogen storage facility or the secondary hydrogen storage facility into electric power; and a transportation means such as a trailer for transporting hydrogen between the hydrogen production facility and the primary hydrogen storage facility, between the primary hydrogen storage facility and the secondary hydrogen storage facility, and between the primary hydrogen storage facility or the secondary hydrogen storage facility and the secondary power generation facility.

Disclosed is a station (100) for expanding a flow of gas having, at the inlet, a temperature T.sub.a and a pressure P.sub.a, that comprises: an expansion valve (105) for recovering mechanical expansion energy configured to reduce the pressure of the gas flow to a pressure P.sub.b and to a temperature T.sub.b such that P.sub.b<P.sub.a and T.sub.b<T.sub.a; a compressor (110) for compressing a flow of fluid having, at the inlet, a temperature T.sub.c and a pressure P.sub.c; the expansion valve and the compressor are linked mechanically such that the movement of the expansion valve when the gas expands causes the compressor to be actuated such that the fluid is compressed to a pressure P.sub.d and a temperature T.sub.d such that P.sub.d>P.sub.c and T.sub.d>T.sub.c; and a heat exchanger (115) for exchanging heat between the gas flow at the outlet or inlet of the expansion valve and the fluid flow at the outlet or inlet of the compressor in order to heat the gas and cool the fluid.

Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.

Certain aspects and features include techniques for reporting resource flow at a metering device. In an example, a metering device measures resource flow by measuring a pressure or a flow rate. The metering device sets a reporting rate to a default reporting rate. The metering device transmits communications indicating the measured resource flow to an external device at the reporting rate. The metering device detects seismic activity at the metering device. The metering device determines that the seismic activity exceeds a seismic threshold. The metering device, in response to determining that the seismic activity exceeds the seismic threshold, adjusts the reporting rate to an event reporting rate, and starts an event time period. The metering device, transmits communications indicating the measured resource flow to the external device at the event reporting rate during the event time period.

Method, devices, and systems for transporting high pressure hydrogen over long distance using anti-hydrogen embrittlement wire reinforced composite pipes are provided. In one aspect, an anti-hydrogen embrittlement wire reinforced composite pipe includes a plastic outer layer, a plastic inner layer, and a wire winding layer. The plastic inner layer is provided in the plastic outer layer, and materials of the plastic inner layer and the plastic outer layer are a thermoplastic material. The wire winding layer is provided between the plastic inner layer and the plastic outer layer and bonded with the plastic inner layer and the plastic outer layer by a hot melt adhesive. The wire winding layer is formed by a plurality of wires spirally wound in left rotation or right rotation.
