ENPE 573 – Unconventional Gas Exploitation Introduction to Shale Gas Classification‚ Formation‚ & Extraction Abstract The production of conventional gas has been declining over the last few years due to dwindling reserves. To counter-act this decline‚ companies are quickly turning to unconventional gas plays that can offer even greater reserves as shown in figure 1. Unfortunately‚ recovering unconventional gas is a very difficult process that requires advanced stimulation and/or

Concepts The gas laws developed by Boyle‚ Charles‚ and Gay-Lussac are based upon empirical observations and describe the behavior of a gas in macroscopic terms‚ that is‚ in terms of properties that a person can directly observe and experience. An alternative approach to understanding the behavior of a gas is to begin with the atomic theory‚ which states that all substances are composed of a large number of very small particles (molecules or atoms). In principle‚ the observable properties of gas (pressure

Fluctuating Gas Prices Kyle Bonzelaar Davenport University Gas prices have been on a rapid rise the last few years and not many people are happy with it. It limits those on a budget for how much they can do and how much they are willing to drive. Lately‚ gas prices have been fluctuating in price and going up but are more recently going back down‚ which gives people a little more flexibility at times in their schedule. It lets people do things such as travel and more‚ that they were not able

general case of a gas‚ liquid‚ or solid‚ the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion is given by The subscript p indicates that the pressure is held constant during the expansion‚ and the subscript "V" stresses that it is the volumetric (not linear) expansion that enters this general definition. In the case of a gas‚ the fact that the pressure is held constant is important‚ because the volume of a gas will vary appreciably with pressure as well as temperature. For a gas of low density this

Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

Sarin Gas Sarin Gas is one the most deadly and toxic gases that has no color and no scent. The formula for this chemical is C4H10FO2P or a more complicated formula or CH3P(=O)(F)(OCH(CH3)2) . This destructive weapon was innovated as a herbicide during the 193040s which is labeled as a nerve agent. Sarin is capable of causing the fatality of someone or the suffocating of a person by just inhaling a low concentration of Sarin gas. Sarin is considered a chiral molecule since it contains four chemical

Hazardous Chemical Mustard Gas Imagine sitting in a trench during World War 1 with your fellow soldiers and someone shouts‚ “Incoming!” you duck deeper into the trench and fumble for your helmet‚ not realizing that it could be your last seconds on this earth. Instead you smell a pungent mustard aroma‚ struggling to breath‚ it subsides after a couple of minutes. Without knowing it you have been exposed to a new chemical used by the Germans‚ code named LOST‚ which referred to the last names of the
