What happens when oil does peak? by Joel Bainerman Peak oil is often referred to as "Hubberts Peak"‚ a geophysicist who observed that oil well production followed a bell curve. According to the mainstream‚ convention view‚ peak oil is set to occur around 2006-2008. When peak oil occurs‚ production will decline approximately 3% per year at a time where global demand is increasing at 3% per year. What will all this mean for you and me- the average folk? Which industries will suffer the most- and

experience of the soldiers was beyond anything that had ever been faced before. A soldier who was attacked by poison gas says that “It seemed as if [his] lungs were gradually shutting up and [his] heart pounded away in [his] ears like the beat of a drum. On looking at the chap next to [him‚ he] felt sick‚ for green stuff was oozing from the side of his mouth.” (Pressey‚ “Poisonous Gas”). After getting attacked‚ this soldier isn’t only poisoned physically‚ but is poisoned mentally as he looks at the

GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION 1. What is the basic difference between compressible and incompressible fluid flow? Compressible 1. Fluid velocities are appreciable compared with the velocity of sound 2. Density is not constant 3. Compressibility factor is greater than one. 2. Write the steady flow energy equation for an adiabatic flow of air. In an adiabatic flow q = 0. Therefore energy equation becomes. 2 c12 c2 h1 + + gZ1 = h2 + + gZ 2 + Ws 2 2 Incompressible 1. Fluid velocities are small

Gas Pressure and Volume Relationships Exp. E-1A A. Obtain a pressure-measuring device as indicated by your lab instructor. Obtain a 60 mL syringe‚ fill it with air‚ and connect the syringe to the gas-measuring device as indicated in the figure. Test your apparatus for gas leaks. If you can’t eliminate all leaks‚ see your lab instructor. B. If necessary‚ calibrate your gas-measuring device as indicated by your lab instructor. Fill your syringe to the largest volume mark on the syringe and reconnect

After the Bhopal gas disaster in 1984‚ the Indian legislation governing safety and environment underwent significant changes.Specifically‚the factories Act was amended to assign the responsibility of the “occupier”‚who is legally responsible for the safety of the workplace and workers‚to the highest level of management in an organization. For a company this meant that one of the directors on the board had to be designated as “occupier”.The Environmental legislation also underwent changes ‚with the

Understanding Gas-Condensate Reservoirs How does a company optimize development of a gas-condensate field‚ when depletion leaves valuable condensate fluids in a reservoir and condensate blockage can cause a loss of well productivity? Gas-condensate fields present this puzzle. The first step must be to understand the fluids and how they flow in the reservoir. Li Fan College Station‚ Texas‚ USA Billy W. Harris Wagner & Brown‚ Ltd.

• Natural gas is an odorless‚ colorless‚ flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air. • The gas chiefly consists of methane (CH4)‚ but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ butane‚ propane and naphtha. Oil and gas deposits in the North Sea were formed millions of years ago through the decomposition and transformation of organic matter (plant and animal remains). In its primary form‚ natural gas can be used for residential heating and cooking‚ for industrial purposes

Arizona Gas Pipeline On July 30‚ 2003 an Arizona gas pipeline owned and operated by the Houston‚ Texas based company‚ Kinder Morgan Energy Partners‚ burst in Tucson and was shut down. A small portion of the 11-mile pipeline‚ which is about five feet underground burst and at least 10‚000 gallons of gasoline spilled; the pipeline rupture spewed gasoline 50 feet into the air. The Arizona gas pipeline cuts through Tucson’s South and West sides en route from El Paso‚ Texas to Phoenix‚ Arizona and

Arterial blood gases are only done in the very sick children‚ who have been intubated/ventilated and have arterial lines in situ (usually in the theatre prior to transfer to the PICU in Newcastle. Here is a stepwise approach to blood gas analysis. STEP 1: [pic] STEP 2: Look at pCO2 [pic] STEP 3: Look at Bicarbonate & Base excess (BE) [pic] Base excess (BE): Base excess is the amount mmol/l of base that is needed to correct pH back to normal when pCO2 is corrected
