1 April. Jet fuel or ATF (aviation turbine fuel) price was hiked by over one percent, the second straight monthly increase in rate coming on the back of firming global prices. The price of ATF was hiked by Rs677.1 per kilolitre (kl), or 1.07 percent, to Rs63,472.22 per kl in the national capital, according to price notification issued by state-owned oil firms. The increase comes on the back of a steep 8.1 percent (Rs4,734.15 per kl) hike in rates effected on 1 March. Simultaneously, the price of non-subsidised cooking gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) was increased by Rs5 per 14.2 kilogram (kg) cylinder. It now costs Rs706.50 in the national capital.  This is the second straight increase in LPG rate. Price was hiked by Rs42.5 per cylinder on 1 March. The hike will add to the burden of cash strapped airlines that are already reeling under pressure from cut-throat competition in the sector. Non-subsidised LPG is the gas that consumer buys after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg at sub-market or subsidised rates. Price of subsidised LPG was almost unchanged at Rs495.86.

28 March. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an allocation of budget funds in 2021-2022 for the construction of the Utrenny liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Russian port of Sabetta on the Northern Sea route, the Kremlin said. The budget money will also be used to reconstruct a navigable channel in the Gulf of Ob in the Kara Sea. The Utrennee gas field is developed by Russian gas giant Novatek and serves as a resource base for the Arctic LNG-2 project.

Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by temperatures, genetic makeup, and the presence of ethylene gas. The optimum temperature range for ripening mature green tomatoes is 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The red color typical of most tomato cultivars does not form when temperatures are above 86 degrees Fahrenheit, but yellow pigment continues to develop. Thus, tomatoes that ripen during extremely hot weather are often yellowish-orange.

Let me repeat – these are all hack methods. I don’t advise any of these methods, but when people have water leaking into their home, these DIY methods are what people turn to. Hopefully, I can talk people out of doing most of these. The most effective and safe way to remove an ice dam is to hire a professional ice dam removal company that will use steam. That’s it, that’s all. Hire a professional to remove your ice dams with steam.

Thanks for taking the question. This kind of goes back to I think what we talked about just a few minutes ago, which is, this week the order that you want from the unnamed LNG project is aluminum heat exchangers. By contrast Calcasieu Pass is a more integrated solution with cold boxes. What determines for any given project, whether the customer will want an integrated solution from Chart versus purely components?

We should not see inventory-related losses. It also depends upon how each company is holding their inventories, right?

1 April. Noble Energy and partners will build a pipeline linking Equatorial Guinea’s offshore gas fields to an onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant to boost exports, the African nation’s government said. Under a deal with the government the 70 kilometre (44 miles) pipe will have capacity for 950 million cubic feet of gas per day from fields operated by Noble and will be ready in the first quarter of 2021. Once liquefied at the export plant, which is run by Marathon Oil, the gas will be shipped to markets across the globe. Sonagas GE will increase its stake in the project to 30 percent from 25 percent. The gas will come from a joint venture (JV) called the Alen Unit, located in two offshore blocks, and is expected to contribute between $1.5 bn and $2 bn to state revenues over the course of the project, the government statement said. Equatorial Guinea hopes to create a gas export hub from its offshore fields after revenues were hit by a dip in oil prices and production since 2014.
