El proyecto adjunta la programación de objetivos, actividades, recursos y forma de evaluación seguido en cada seminario.

Opciones y desafíos para la comercialización del gas boliviano

La actual situación energética a nivel mundial ha puesto a los países desarrollados en una clara dependencia por este recurso si desean mantener sus niveles actuales de crecimiento económico. Bolivia al poseer gas natural, y dadas las condiciones energéticas a nivel mundial, debería estar encaminado a un crecimiento económico sostenible por los próximos años, sin embargo la situación de pobreza en la que se encuentra sumida desde el siglo pasado no ha cambiado. Analizar diversos mercados alternativos, además de los consolidados es la consigna de este trabajo con el objetivo de reducir la vulnerabilidad y el riesgo ante posibles situaciones en el MERCOSUR que afecten el ingreso que percibe el país por la exportación de gas a Argentina y Brasil. En este sentido Chile surge como una nueva opción de destino del gas, tanto económica como comercial, pero problemas limítrofes del pasado hacen un tanto difícil establecer nuevas negociaciones comerciales, pero no imposibles. El objetivo es el de establecer nuevas negociaciones comerciales con el país trasandino, utilizando al gas natural como un medio para alcanzar un mejor nivel económico.

Desenhos de mercado de gás natural e o caso brasileiro

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os principais fatores envolvidos no desenvolvi- mento e funcionamento da indústria de gás natural, para então detectar e diagnosticar as principais falhas existentes no mercado brasileiro de gás. A análise é realizada a partir da caracterização dos diversos desenhos de mercado da indústria de gás natural presentes no mundo (desde a estrutura totalmente verticalizada até a mais competitiva, com a presença de mercados de atacado e varejo). Pontos importantes são ressaltados tais como os princípios de precificação do gás em cada modelo, as práticas regulatórias empregadas e as principais estruturas surgidas. Destas, destacam-se as relações entre os agentes nos mercados de varejo competitivos, o livre acesso, o bypass físico e comercial e o surgimento do mercado spot. Essa linha de trabalho culmina com a análise da atual estrutura do mercado de gás natural no Brasil, assim como possíveis desenhos que essa indústria poderá atingir a médio e longo prazos dependendo dos mecanismos regulatórios utilizados. Para isso, são apresentados os modelos de gás existentes e a interação entre eles. Ressalta-se, também, a importância do livre acesso para o desenvolvimento do setor no Brasil.

A definição do gasto público: aspectos institucionais e a disputa política

Fatores de decisão da adoção do gás natural na geração de energia elétrica em pequena escala em postos de combustíveis: um estudo de anális de decusão usando o processo de hierarquia analítica AHP

A modeling of criterias and alternatives is through and applied a questionnaire based on method AHP to proprietors of gas stations. The considered alternatives had been the maintenance of the current state with electric energy of the deliverer and the generation in small scale based on the natural gas. The used criteria had been Cost of the Investment, Final Cost of the Energy, Operational cost, Ambient Benefits, Risk and Variation of Costs. The study it was carried through in the city of Natal, RN in ranks that make use of the natural as for resale, where the generation alternative on the basis of the available gas is present. The main results evidence in a dimension the viability of use of method AHP with questionnaire by means of validation of the judgments with analysis of variance beyond proper the normal mechanisms of analysis of consistency to the method. The main results of the analysis help to show that in this in case that the profile of models of criteria and judgments of the actors is similar, with the final evidence of that it has a dominance of the maintenance of the energy of the deliverer. The main criterion to influence this decision was the risk

Fatores de sucesso no desenvolvimento de novos produtos em pequenas empresas: um estudo de caso em um fabricante de equipamentos para gás natural veicular

This study presents itself as a contribution to the solidification of the Natural Gas industry, within the scope of the development of new products. The goal of this paper is to analyze the factors that lead to the success of new products through the evaluation of the activities done during the process of development of these products in the Natural Gas sector. To achieve this goal a case study was done in a small company of this segment. At first, as a basis for the study, a bibliographical research was done with books, theses, dissertations, monographies, publications in national and international periodicals, congress annals and publications in the internet related to the subject. Afterwards, a case study was done, aiming at the acquisition of further knowledge about the real process of development of products in a small company of the Natural Gas sector, allowing for the performance of the evaluation. The case study was done at Gas Project and Systems do Brasil, a company that works with the development of electronic equipment to the conversion of car engines to natural gas, through direct observations and interviews with the person responsible for the development and management of products. Through the evaluation of the process it was observed that the activities related to it are done in an informal way and some activities are considered unnecessary for their success. The results also suggest an emphasis in the technological activities, something that was not observed in the activities related to the market. The instruments used in this evaluation prove to be efficient to evaluate the process of development of new products in other companies, including those of different areas. Taking into account the relevance of the studied theme to the strengthening of the Natural Gas industry, it is necessary to do further complementary studies

Simulação de reservatórios não convencionais para armazenamento de gás natural veicular

The investigation of viability to use containers for Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) storage, with different geometries of commercial standards, come from necessity to join the ambient, financial and technological benefits offered by the gas combustion, to the convenience of not modify the original proposal of the automobile. The use of these current cylindrical models for storage in the converted vehicles is justified by the excellent behavior that this geometry presents about the imposed tensions for the high pressure that the related reservoirs are submitted. However, recent research directed toward application of adsorbent materials in the natural gas reservoirs had proven a substantial redusction of pressure and, consequently, a relief of the tensions in the reservoirs. However, this study considers alternative geometries for NGV reservoirs, searching the minimization of dimensions and weight, remaining capacity to resist the tensions imposed by the new pressure situation. The proposed reservoirs parameters are calculated through a mathematical study of the internal pressure according to Brazilian standards (NBR) for pressure vessels. Finally simulations of the new geometries behavior are carried through using a commercially avaible Finite Element Method (FEM) software package ALGOR® to verify of the reservoirs efficincy under the gas pressure load

Sistema de aquisição de dados para estudos de transiente de pressão e detecção de vazamentos em oleodutos

In February 2011, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) has published a new Technical Rules for Handling Land Pipeline Petroleum and Natural Gas Derivatives (RTDT). Among other things, the RTDT made compulsory the use of monitoring systems and leak detection in all onshore pipelines in the country. This document provides a study on the method for detection of transient pressure. The study was conducted on a industrial duct 16" diameter and 9.8 km long. The pipeline is fully pressurized and carries a multiphase mixture of crude oil, water and natural gas. For the study, was built an infrastructure for data acquisition and validation of detection algorithms. The system was designed with SCADA architecture. Piezoresistive sensors were installed at the ends of the duct and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) were used for sampling, storage and processing of data. The study was based on simulations of leaks through valves and search for patterns that characterize the occurrence of such phenomena
