  • Publication number: 20240413642
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to mitigate flaring of natural gas. A natural gas processing system may process raw natural gas into a fuel gas stream that may be used to power any number of on-site power generation modules. In turn, the power generation modules may convert the fuel gas stream into an electrical output, which may be employed to power any number of distributed computing units housed within one or more mobile data centers. In certain embodiments, the distributed computing units may be adapted to mine cryptocurrency or perform other distributed computing tasks to generate revenue.

  • Publication number: 20240370072
    Abstract: A method of powering distributed computing units by a fuel gas stream originating from an underwater oil well below the ocean includes transporting, by at least one floating vessel, a power production system, a communications system and a power consumption system to an offshore drilling platform, the offshore drilling platform including a pipeline transporting natural gas originating from the underwater oil well; receiving, by the power production system, a fuel gas stream from the pipeline comprising a fuel gas; generating, by the power production system, from the fuel gas, an electrical output; and powering, by the power production system, via the electrical output, a plurality of distributed computing units of a power consumption system.
