Filipino workers in 2015 will help supply
30% of the country’s energy needs for a
safe, reliable, and cleaner energy

MALAMPAYA DEPLETION
COMPRESSION PLATFORM
A flammable gas mixture consisting
primarily of methane, the most
abundant organic compound on
Earth.
natural gas
It involves the burial and
decomposition of organic matter
under temperature and pressure
conditions that fall within a range
called the “gas window”, which is
about 100 to 200˚C at a depth of 3
to 6 km.
thermogenic methods
Use of microorganisms to produce
methane
biogenic methods
A natural gas directly
associated with coal deposits
found deep underground.
coalbed mathane
is often touted as the
cleanest of all the fossil fuels, it
produces less carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, and nitrous
oxide than either
coal or oil.
natural gas
It supplies the requirements of three
power plants, which produce
a total generating capacity of
2,700 MW (megawatts), as
well as the gas requirements
of Pilipinas Shell Petroleum
Corporation in Tabangao,
Batangas.
