Abstract

The demand for natural gas has increased because it emits fewer harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide, than coal or oil. In addition, the development of small and medium gas fields as a way to secure energy resources is becoming increasingly important due to a decrease in the discovery of new gas fields and an increase in oil prices. Although small and medium gas fields account for about 40% of all gas fields globally, commercialization for gas power generation is not possible because it was difficult to ensure economic feasibility using LNG or GTL. In this study, the development cases for small and medium onshore and offshore gas fields were reviewed. Also, trends of gas utilization technology in small and medium gas fields were investigated, and gas power generation status was examined. It can be used as basic data when establishing the optimal plan for small and medium gas field development.

천연가스는 화석연료이지만 연소로 인해 발생하는 이산화탄소 등 유해가스 배출량이 석탄과 오일보다 적어 에너지전환 시기에도 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 이와 더불어 신규 가스전에 대한 발견 감소와 유가 상승 등으로 인해 에너지자원 확보를 위한 방안으로 중소규모 가스전 개발에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 중소규모 가스전은 전 세계 가스전의 약 40%를 차지하고 있음에도 불구하고 LNG나 상용 GTL 공정을 통한 경제성 확보가 어려워 가스발전을 위한 상업화가 되지 못하였다. 이 연구에서는 육상 및 해상의 중소규모 가스전 개발 동향을 파악하였으며, 가스발전과 중소규모 가스전에 적용할 수 있는 가스 활용 기술 동향을 조사하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 통해 중소규모 가스전 개발 및 활용 계획 수립 시 기초자료로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
