Petroleum production

oil and gas reserves, so many other countries are dependent on them for constant fuel supply. They comprise the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which is are responsible for almost half the world’s oil production, even holding the majority of oil reserves. It constantly monitors the volume of oil consumption and then adjusts its own production to maintain desired barrel prices. This results oil price fluctuations around the world.…

For example, geographical position, fauna and flora, land form, rock structure and climate affect the activities in this industry. The value chain from exploration, extraction, refining, producing to final use of petroleum are emitting harmful gases that affect the people, plants, animals, air, water and soil negatively. Besides, exploration, processing, and transportation of oil and natural gas have the major impact to the environment such as groundwater contamination…

The Middle East and their oil production have been an important part of the world’s international business and economy. Oil is one of the most coveted natural resources and the Middle East has held this equity, along with some international power, since the early twentieth century. Oil was first discovered in Saudi Arabia on March 3, 1938; just six years after the territory became the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This discovery would change the world. Over time, Saudi Arabia quickly became the…

to be so dependent on foreign oil. In wanting fewer imports they don’t realize that means drilling our own soil, and not many places are available for such activities. This leaves places like the ANWR vulnerable to those who are looking for local petroleum. Although the ANWR has large reserves of oil it is a protected wildlife refuge and this is why drilling here becomes a debate. Other people should be informed on issues such as this that concern the environment and the animals involved in…

The BP oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico released 3.19 million barrels of oil creating both environmental and economic damage to surrounding areas. The effects of the oil spill mainly impacted Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Florida. The stakeholders affected by the oil spill were the environment, wildlife, fisherman, the oil industry and tourist-driven businesses and communities. Directly following the spill, BP set up The Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) which was…

treasured resource, but regrettably our present structures of food production, especially agriculture, are causative to the failing strength of the world’s air and water, while concurrently subject to climate change. It is near impossible and time consuming on a decade scale to repair our past century’s damages to the Earth’s lands, oceans, and skies. We also can’t fix our problems of energy conservation without improving our production…

chain has many shortcomings. Exploration and Development With the deepening of oil exploration, since non-renewable oil and gas resources, making the exploration and exploitation more and more difficult and the cost is rising year by year. The production cost of crude oil also increased, mainly due to investment in technology is not enough. In addition, Caltex costs in exploration and development aspects of the constitution should be further optimized, mainly the proportion of non-productive…

need to find resources that are closer to home as well as earth friendly more options need to be sought. At this day in age, Algae biofuel is no longer a backburner option for viable fuel alternatives. This environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum is a realistic contender to battle with other biofuels and fossil fuels. Algae is more than just the green seaweed at the bottom of the ocean that people associate it with. It is a versatile and sustainable resource that is produced in…

reduction of property value (depends on the magnitude of the oil spill), reduction of tourism (affected areas), as well as recreational and aesthetic impact (“Oil Spill Effect on Humans”). When precious crude oil or refined petroleum is lost, it affects the amount of petroleum or gas available for use (“Oil Spill”). Offshore oil drilling also affects people because it changes in different bodies of water. In many cases oil tends to float, but just because oil floats in saltwater doesn’t mean it…
