Abstract: Systems and methods for producing methanol are provided. A reformer feed gas including methane and carbon dioxide is provided to a methane reformer, which produces a synthesis gas. The synthesis gas includes a first portion of hydrogen, a second portion of carbon monoxide, and a third portion of carbon dioxide. The methane is present in the reformer feed gas in an amount of between 20 volume percent (vol %) and 90 vol % and the carbon dioxide is present in the reformer feed gas in an amount of between 10 vol % and 80 vol %. The synthesis gas is subjected to a methanol synthesis reactor. The methanol synthesis reactor is utilized to produce a methanol product and a purge gas stream from the synthesis gas.

Abstract: Techniques and systems to provide pressure reduction of a fluid, for example, from a well. A device includes an input configured to be fluidly coupled to a well control device. The device also includes an output configured to be to be fluidly coupled to the well control device. The device further includes at least one valve configured to alter a pressure of a fluid received at the input and transmitted from the output.

Abstract: Techniques and methods to reduce downtime in an offshore platform, such as an offshore semi-submersible drilling rig or drillship. Through the use of one or more movable platforms in a moon pool area, work on a riser string passing through the moon pool area may be performed without exposing workers directly to the open sea below. Accordingly, the use of the one or more movable platforms in the moon pool area may provide protected access to the riser string during, for example, harsh weather conditions.
