major petroleum and petrochemical groups. BP’s primary activities include: exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas; refining, marketing and transportation; and manufacturing and sales of petrochemicals. In 1908, William D’Arcy and George Reynolds struck oil in Persia and established the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). In 1935 APOC was renamed the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC). Throughout the mid-twentieth century, AIOC expanded its market and eventually became BP plc (BP…
development of the expansive oil fields throughout the state. Under the tradition of the common laws adopted by the British the land right was under private ownership; yet the land and mineral rights could be sold independently of each other, which the Osage Nation took full advantage of during the rise of the petroleum economy (Reese and Loughlin, 93).

The result of lower oil prices makes many products more affordable and improves the global economy. He posits that by switching from “dirty” coal to cleaner burning natural gas to generate electricity, the environment will improve by reducing…
4.2.4 Effect of Feed flow rate (Fgr) on Product Distribution An increase in the flow of gas oil means an increase in the velocity of the gas oil feed, also a decrease in the residence time of the gas oil in the riser; hence a rise in the conversion of gas oil and yields of the products is expected(Akpa et al. 2010). When the flow rate of gas oil is increased, there is an increase in the heat inflow into the reactor, rate of cracking reactions are high, feed also spends less time in the reactor…
Painted in 1880, The Storm, by Pierre-Auguste Cot, is an oil painting currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Two subjects, a youthful woman and man, are the central focus of this work.
