    Abstract: Process for the preparation of hydrogen by reacting a feed gas comprising methane and carbon monoxide with steam in the presence of a steam reforming catalyst at a pressure of at least 15 bara in the heated zone of a steam reformer to obtain a raw hydrogen containing product stream, wherein (a) the feed gas is mixed with the steam before entering the steam reformer resulting in a reaction mixture of the feed gas and steam having a temperature below 540° C.; and (b) the reaction mixture obtained in step (a) is fed into the heated zone of the steam reformer where it is first contacted with an inert material before it is contacted with the steam reforming catalyst.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a residual base oil from a hydrocarbon feed which is derived from a Fischer-Tropsch process, the process comprises the steps of: (a) providing a hydrocarbon feed which is derived from a Fischer-Tropsch process; (b) subjecting the hydrocarbon feed of step (a) to a hydrocracking/hydroisomerisation step to obtain an at least partially isomerised product; (c) separating at least part of the at least partially isomerised product as obtained in step (b) into one or more lower boiling fractions and a hydrowax residue fraction; (d) catalytic dewaxing of the hydrowax residue fraction of step (c) to obtain a highly isomerised product; (e) separating the highly isomerised product of step (d) into one or more light fractions and a isomerised residual fraction; (f) mixing of the isomerised residual fraction of step (e) with a diluent to obtain a diluted isomerised residual fraction; (g) cooling the diluted isomerised residual fraction of step (f) to a temperature between 0° C. and −60° C.; (i) subjecting the mixture of step (g) to a centrifuging step at a temperature between 0° C. and −60° C. to isolate the wax from the diluted isomerised residual fraction; (j) separating the diluent from the diluted isomerised residual fraction to obtain a residual base oil.

    Abstract: A method for generating a plurality of structural models for a geological setting involves identifying a poorly imaged portion of an input seismic data set. A set of geologically valid kinematic base models are selected to define a kinematic evolution scenario. A correspond set of kinematic base model parameters is defined for the models. A structural model is generated for both a well-imaged portion of the seismic data and the poorly imaged portion. A misfit between the input horizons and the and the modeled horizons is calculated and steps are repeated for a predetermined number of iterations to produce a best-fit model. The steps are repeated then to produce a plurality of best-fit models of geologically plausible solutions for the geological setting. The method is particularly suitable for complex geological settings.
