INTRODUCTION Oil and Gas refers to the naturally occurring liquid and natural gas specifically made up of long chain hydrocarbons and various organic compounds found beneath the surface of the earth in entrapments called reservoirs; the presence of oil and gas in these reservoirs is the reason humans survive everyday and carry out their daily activities effectively. Different activities are usually carried out to ensure that the oil and gas present in the reservoirs continue to support humans

and 90% petrol. Though a 85% ethanol blend has started being used in Australia but is not available at all petrol stations. As a car fuel it is blended with petrol to decrease how fast petrol burns‚ extend petrol reserves and to reduce green house gas emissions. For Brazil the use of ethanol as a car fuel has been very successful as it has a very large starch industry. It is also beneficial to the country economically because the high concentration use of ethanol has replaced expensive oil imports

A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced‚ grown‚ generated‚ or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate‚ once depleted there is no more available for future needs. Also considered non-renewable are resources that are consumed much faster than nature can create them. Fossil fuels (such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas)‚ types of nuclear power (uranium) and certain aquifers are examples. Natural resources such as coal‚ petroleum‚ oil and natural gas take thousands

resource‚ natural gas. What I noticed was‚ a beautiful picturesque countryside being torn up. I saw trucks hauling water and equipment‚ traveling up and down small country roads. Farms that had been in family’s for generations being sold off or leased to gas companies. A new technology for tapping into a nation’s most sought after fuel‚ natural gas‚ had begun. Fracking is a technique where water‚ chemicals‚ and sand are pumped into an underground well. This is done to unlock the natural gases trapped

Fracking has been a big deal lately. Fracking is a technique to get oil and gas out of the ground but it means they have to put a pipe in the ground then send water‚sand and many other chemicals through the pipe at high-pressure. From all the pressure it makes cracks in the ground bringing up gas and oil. Even if there’s many benefits from fracking there’s many disadvantages to. My claim on this problem is that we should stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it

Anthony Martorana Purpose: To inform people of the advantages and disadvantages of fracking. For example: The resources that can be discovered by the use of fracking‚ but also the danger that it can have on a water supply. The purpose is to allow people to be as informed as possible if ever fronted with the decision of fracking Point of view: My point of view is that everyone should be informed going into this decision and that all positives and negatives should be weighed into making a decision

frequency declined as reported by Minor (1994). Despite this evidence‚ a number of examples in the last few years seems to support a new trend. For instance‚ in Bolivia in 2006 the leader Morales announced a plan to nationalize the local natural gas industry (Reel and Mufson‚ 2006); in Venezuela where over the last three years the president Chavez has ordered the nationalization of foreign firms in several extractive industries (Narea‚ 2010); in Ecuador a contract with the oil company Occidental

The term pollution can be applied when the composition of something has been modified by the presence of one or more substances that either it cannot be used for a specific purpose or it is less suitable for that use than it was in its natural state. Nature pollutes water with leaves that fall off the trees and decay‚ animal waste‚ and oil seepages. 5. A major source of water pollution results from agricultural practices.
