Underground Operations

Chemical Risks of Additives: In each drilling, it is necessary to use some 4,000 tons of chemicals, most of them highly polluting. Although the risk of an accident with a chemical spill is low, the large number of operations to be performed makes it a significant risk. 4. Air Pollution: Throughout the drilling and fracturing process, a large number of additives are used, many of which are volatile compounds. The same happens later in the production stage, where it is…

just like Papa, the girls focus on their children and the future civilians of the Dominican Republic and put their efforts forward to make their lives better. One example is when Minerva almost gets caught by her school principal going to secret underground revolution meetings. When Maria Teresa asks why she is going, she responds with “She wanted me to grow up in a free country.” (39) This is an example of how the sisters bonded together early on and focused on how to better the country so the…

Coal Seam Gas (CSM) which some refer to as Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is one of the forms of unconventional gases that is located in coals deep in underground earth layers. The process of CSM extraction involves digging deep wells in earth, casing the wells for protection and pumping out gases and water which is already in the coals. Recovering these types of resources sometimes require simulations and fracking coal beds which involves the usage of water and chemicals. In addition, these acts of…

Rock Sioux Tribe, on the basis that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had failed to properly study the pipeline’s environmental consequences when it was first approved for construction. As a result of this case, the judge did not even suspend the operation of the pipeline, and the pipeline was left operational while the issue was solved. The protesters had mixed feelings about the result. On one hand, they managed to gain national attention and show there is a legitimate concern about the…

areas but travel into the surrounding areas as well, in cases of leaks. A study conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency released evidence in which ten out of eleven coalbed methane production areas observed are located within underground sources of drinking water consequently ending the direct application of chemicals into the water supply. The Safe Drinking Water Act implemented by the U.S. EPA…

Legalizing prostitution could also improve the industry, by legitimizing it and making it less of a taboo. After all, a lot of the crime that plagues sex work is based on the fact that prostitutes are afraid to approach authorities; this makes abusers and rapists more likely to commit crimes, as they know that the women would never report them (for fear of being arrested themselves). Ideally, legalization would grant prostitutes protection from the government and police, and give them access to…

Industry: Natural gas is crucial to the world’s energy supply. It is combusted in order to generate electricity, and when compared to other fossil fuels, it is quite clean, safe and has many end uses.1 For example, natural gas can be used to create electricity, power air conditioners, fuel vehicles, heat water, cook foods, heat buildings and also power large furnaces.2 Natural gas is fairly abundant in North America, yet it is still a nonrenewable resource which takes millions of years to form.…

communications. All while playing flight simulation computer games to help them when they would be flying in the air. Once the hijackers had been fully trained, sent to America, and stationed in the correct positions the work had completely gone underground. Each plane ticket was bought differently either by phone, in person, or…

exploration method used by oil and gas companies to gauge and estimate the seismic characters of the Earth’s sub-surface. The way it works is, it uses sound waves to bounce off the surface of underground rock structures to reveal possible locations of crude and natural gas. The echoes that bounce off this formation underground is recorded by devices known as…

Many people wish to travel the around the world and meet new places. I would say that the destination you are going to is important, but who you are going with on the trip is crucial. Some people make excellent traveling companions, while others not so much. Two characters that would make great traveling companions would be Montresor from “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe and Arnold Friend from “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” by Carol Joyce Oates. They would travel to…
