Oil and gas resources are very extensive, but the location, profitability, and feasibility of the well…

crude oil to get to the end product. Crude oil is basically fossil fuel that has been formed from dead animals and plants from millions of years ago. Engineers go through a process of locating where oil may be by using sonar. When they believe they have found an area that has this fossil fuel, they begin by drilling a hole and then pump the crude oil out to either a barge or into a pipe that goes directly to land. Once the crude oil makes it to the refinery, they begin to break down the oil…

learn about the dynamics of an industrial farming operation to better plan our project on this farm. Ideally, we anticipate producing a hemp plant that survives the harsh environment and elevation of Colorado and produces a large seed for hemp seed oil extractions. We have designed this experiment to take 3-4 growing seasons and each season should produce a plant that is better suited to grow outdoors and produce larger seeds, which can be used each after harvesting next season’s seeds. When…
