Petroleum
Dear Members of the committee,

A close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering. Therefore I submit my application for the position of MSc Degree in Petroleum Geoscience for Reservoir Development and Production, University of Manchester. I am confident that I have the technical qualifications to meet the course requirements as I strongly believe by completing this course will serve my goal of a career in Oil and Gas industry or involved in research oriented organization. I have completed a four years Degree of engineering in Petroleum at UTM and graduated in July 2011. My undergraduate education has given me a certain set of skills and strong fundamental in Petroleum Engineering as a result to develop a combination of thinking and research capabilities. Being as a Vacation Trainee at Schlumberger in Labuan that was introduced in my third year at the university, I had exposure myself in Oil and Gas Industry closely. I was working in Well Testing Department and it is a great experience for me. I got the chance to learn more about technical knowledge and technology used in the current Oil and Gas Industry. When I was in final year of my study, I had the chance to demonstrate my research abilities by conducting my degree thesis entitled ‘Drilling Mud Filter Cakes Degradation Using Pullulanase Enzyme’. This thesis was a great project due to the fact that I had to study the behavior of an enzyme and also the reservoir environment near the wellbore. I had to design the treatment solution to remove the mud cake in the wellbore to increase the reservoir production. In addition, this project was funded by Exxon Mobile. As a result of working on my thesis, I have not only gained valuable knowledge and confident in my technical skills but also an important experience working in the lab. Besides, my degree thesis was qualified to join Shell Inter-Varsity

    The New Oil

    Water is a resource lots of people take for granted. When water starts to become more scarce throughout time, who should take control over it? Public companies? Or Private? I believe the answer to this dilemma is that public companies should mostly take control of the water system but still work with private companies to benefit the water supply the most. They should mostly control the water supply because I think that private companies won’t be able to handle the water resources properly. According to the article “The New Oil” by Jeneen Interlandi, private companies don’t understand how important the conservation of water means to the survival of the human race and all the animals and plants on earth. Wars will start because water is running out, killing millions of people. If water runs out, everyone will die, completely destroying the earth’s ecosystem because everything needs water. It is a scarce, inelastic resource that needs to be handled with the utmost care.…

    Can Petroleum Be Replaced?

    • 1816 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Today 's world economy relies more than ever on a constant supply of petroleum to fuel a vast number of different vehicles and other applications. Everything from an internal combustion engine in a car to a furnace in a home use a petroleum product as the form of energy needed to make them function. With the burning of oil for energy comes the unwanted side-product of emissions such as carbon dioxide, which have now been proven to affect the Ozone and weather patterns of Earth. These emissions along with the un-rest in the Middle East, a large supplier of oil to the world, have renewed interest in possible new alternative energy sources to cut down on the global dependence on oil. Researchers at some of the top laboratories and automotive companies are now in the process of experimenting to develop these fuels; they are now closer than ever to having a viable alternative to oil.…

    Ethanol

    • 2552 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Ethanol was first used in 1908 on Henry Ford's Model T. The Model T was designed so that it could be run on either gasoline or pure alcohol. When asked why he wanted to run the Model T on alcohol, Henry Ford replied by saying, “It is the fuel of the future.” The use of ethanol continued through the 1920's and 1930's in an effort to keep a United States ethanol program alive. Although the effort was unsuccessful, oil supply problems in the Middle East and environmental issues and concerns on the use of lead as an octane booster in gasoline brought focus back on to ethanol in the late 1970's. Ethanol production in 1998 was at 1.4 billion gallons compared to 175 million gallons in 1980. The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 made a contribution to an economic crisis that revealed our dependence on imported oil. Lines at gas stations lengthened, stock markets slowly started to decline, and our nation was faced with an economic recession. Congress then passed the Energy Tax Act of 1978. This act provided made the 4 cents to the gallon federal fuel tax on gasoline exempt if the fuel was 10 percent ethanol. Congress continued to show and reveal Acts to promote fuel development in the domestic sector and energy conservation. Through the Clean Air Amendments of 1990, Congress acknowledged changes in fuels and their composition would contribute to reducing exhaust pollution. Two new gasoline standards were put into place to reduce fuel emissions in the polluted areas of our country, with an emphasis on that of cities. The Acts required gasoline to contain clean-burning additives that include ethanol. Ethanol is a great alternative fuel for our country to invest in.…

The title of the article is “It will take more than rebranding to make tar sands oil ‘ethical’ “. In this article, David and Faisal point out the result of extracting oil will cause immense harm especially from the PESTEL perspective. They also warn the government to stop using spin doctors and marketing techniques through re-branding and calling it “Ethical Oil”.…

    Oil In The Middle East

    • 435 Words
    • 2 Pages

    As an industrial superpower, oil is an extremely important factor in maintaining that status. The United States and the entire world depend on oil to run their machines and engines. The Middle East produces over 60% of the world's oil supply. Demands for this oil increases every year. The United States relies on the Middle East for about 14% of all oil needs, but that percentage keeps on growing. As disaster and lack of reserves damage our own oil reserves, the United States needs more options for obtaining oil. The Middle East is the cheapest to extract. We need to maintain a healthy relationship with these Middle Eastern nations to be able to use these oil reserves.…

    There are two major barriers that are leading to an inevitable failure in the Royal Biscuit and Edeling merger. The first, and most important, is the lack of cultural competency between Brighton and Wallach, the two merger officiators. Both parties are displaying characteristics of ethnocentrism and misperception. Second, is the lack of corporate competency resulting from dissimilar corporate cultures, histories and business strategies. If the merger of the two companies is to be successful then corporate synergy must be realized; otherwise the union is doomed to failure.…

    Ethanol is easily soluble in water in all proportions with a slight overall decrease in volume when the two are mixed. Absolute ethanol and 95% ethanol are themselves good solvents, somewhat less polar than water and used in perfumes, paints and tinctures. Other proportions of ethanol with water or other solvents can also be used as a solvent. Alcoholic drinks have a large variety of tastes because various flavor compounds are dissolved during brewing. When ethanol is produced as a mixing beverage it is a neutral grain spirit.…

    Oil Drilling

    • 6 Pages

    Have you ever seen an animal covered in sludge, helpless and weak? Offshore oil drilling is one of our world’s biggest concerns. Offshore oil drilling is the discovery of finding oil or gasoline resources underwater. Usually the oil is found off the coasts of each continent and can also be found in lakes and small seas. Drilling for oil provides the energy to make fuels for cars and other machinery. Many different platforms can be used for offshore oil drilling such as drill ships, jack up barges, steel jackets, and semi-submersibles for deeper water areas. The issue at hand is that oil drilling can lead to oil spills into oceans, seas, and lakes and can harm the environment. Barge collisions, explosions, leaks, spills, and pipeline corrosion are all key factors in the harmful effects of oil drilling. Drilling leads to pollution in the environment and kills many organisms and aquatic animals.…
