fissures will allow that more oil and gas flow out and into the well bore to be extracted. This process forms channels that improve the rate in which the fluids can be generated from the reservoir formations‚ and in some cases the percent can be increased considerable. The safety steps included in this process are aimed to protect water supplies to be used by the population and to assure that neither the fluid that will be pumped through the well‚ nor the oil or gas that will eventually be gathered enters

Biogas Plant The Bio-Gas Plant produces gas from the raw materials of human excreta and cowdung. The residue obtained from the plant is used as the food of fish. It is a system to process livestock wastes into safe‚ high-quality‚ efficient organic fertilizer without exhausting greenhouse gases into the air. These gas plants also contribute to safe-keeping and clean environment by preventing bad odor and contamination of the underground. Furthermore‚ they are capable of generating electric power

CARBON EMISSIONS OVER A YEAR AND PRATICAL REDUCTION METHODS Michael Pratt‚ Brandon Brown 1School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta‚ GA 30332 ABSTRACT The average American citizen consumes energy over the course of a year which contributes to mankind’s total carbon emissions. Given current studies on the effects of Global Warming and carbon emissions‚ it is beneficial to analyze ways to reduce energy usage‚ and thus carbon emissions. The

We retrieve these fuels from under the ground and under water and then use this for electricity. The problem with this method is the over spill into the oceans and above ground. Some of the major oil spills that have occurred that

It ranks second by number of Marcellus wells in PA‚ with a total of 388 drilling wells between 2008 and 2010 (including 266 in 2010) (DEP). Once disgusted by the inherent wrongs of drilling on bountiful land‚ I have become open to the potential benefits that natural gas provides through shale‚ domestically and internationally.

The common denominator for all those modes of transportation is that they run on gas‚ which is made from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels such as oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas are nonrenewable resources. They will run out one day and that’s what the U.S. relies on for gas and electricity. Renewable energy such as solar‚ wind‚ and hydropower are infinite sources. The U.S. depends on the finite resources of fossil fuels greatly‚ yet

The oil companies can afford to rebuild/remodel every few years and banks are popping up like the middle finger during rush hour traffic. It seems as if the lower middle class cannot afford to make a house payment or pay a bill if they manage to put gas in the car and put food on the table. The dollar is worth less and less every single day due to the compiling debt by America’s wonderful government.
