Gas

method used to extract gas beneath shale formations located deep below the Earth’s surface. It has been practiced for more than 50 years, but it was not until the last decade it became an issue due to a new method of drilling horizontally. Before the last decade, the practice was to drill vertically through shale bedrock to obtain access to oil or gas. In the last 10 to 15 years to the practice of horizontal drilling for methane became popular due to the larger amount of gas that may be…

Many people around the world are wondering what is happening with the changes in weather patterns. A scientist argues that human activity has affected the climate and this has led to a change. The issue of climate change is causing many counties, companies and people to focus on this issue. There are many reasons why global warming exists. The first has to do with the idea that humans are primarily responsible for global warming. Scientist think that human is the caused of global warming. Human…

Macondo was not the first oil spill accident in offshore platforms, and will not be the last either. The resulting explosions and fire led to the deaths of 11 individuals, serious physical injuries to 17 others, the evacuation of 115 individuals from the rig, the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon well, and massive marine and coastal damage from a reported 210 million barrels of released hydrocarbons. Other notable oil spill accident is the explosion of Oil well Ixtoc 1 in the Bay of Campeche in…

of industrial products such as cans, chemicals, and plastics. These materials are being re-used, and not just being thrown away (“Advantages and Disadvantages of Recycling” ). Global warming is decreases when we recycle. Large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions (Carbon dioxide and Chlorofluorocarbon’s) are produced when waste is burned in large portions. Recycling ensures that the burning process is minimized and the waste is re-generated as a useful product. Additionally, less greenhouse gases…

the basic knowledge of Oklahoma history, it is important to give a broad review of key aspects of the beginning of the rise of oil and natural gas of the 20th and 21st century. This is to include the rise in the demand of oil during World War I and increasing exploration in the supply of oil and natural gas throughout Oklahoma. Additionally, oil and natural gas are the biggest industry in Oklahoma, which includes the refinement and production of petroleum products that are not just gasoline or…

Food production systems are sets of related activities that generate food products for human utilization, and are characterized by the components of land, work, capital, innovation, and the market and non-advertise establishments overseeing their distribution. The production system is based on ethical framework but now in United States the framework of food production system is unethical. The food production system is morally not correct as there are many defects in the system which are leading…

examples to compare the differences of measurement and disclosure on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas related activities. In the end, the motivations to improve the quality of disclosure are analysed. Carbon accounting in UK and Russia: UK established the Climate Change Act in 2008 which is first legally binding target on climate change in the world. The aim of the act is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at least 80% before 2050(Committee on…

The Kyoto Protocol Pros and Cons The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It was borne on the premise that global warming exists due to human activities. The legal binding agreement help ensure that state parties help mitigate global warming. List of Pros of Kyoto Protocol 1. Preservation of mankind's future The changes in surface temperature results in heat wave, heavy downpours, rising sea levels, soil erosion and increased ocean acidity, all…

estimated the the arctic holds about 90 billion barrels of recoverable oil and enough natural gas to sustain us for about 15 years Climate change is here, and by drilling in the arctic we are just accelerating the process. what we should really worry about is the natural gas. Because oil companies are lacking of facilities for the transportation of gas at the poles, they would use flaring to get rid of unusable gas and release lots of black carbon which is responsible for the double warming…

other countries don’t use it because they don’t need it, we are finding lots of oil in shale, but its too dense and hard to extract that oil out of without breaking it up first. Fracking means to use liquid to break apart fissures and extract oil and gas through the gaps, and hydraulic means to be using and moving fluid under pressure. They have reinvented portions of the process of how we go about drilling with horizontal drilling, but the process of starting a hole is a lot like poking a…
