Journey to Sakhalin Sakhalin Island’s resources include oil‚ gas and coal‚ as well as forestry and fishing. Before the collapse of the USSR‚ oil and gas were being extracted from the ground. Several geological studies show that the vast reserves of Sakhalin’s oil and gas were mainly under the Sea of Okhotsk. After the disintegration of the USSR‚ Russia was eager to rebuild its economy and oil and gas were resources that it could leverage for foreign assistance. Before Sakhalin II‚ Russia would

most people would worry about; however it soon could be a reality due to hydraulic fracturing and the lack of federal regulations. Although there are some initial benefits to fracking‚ including more access to natural gas‚ more jobs‚ less dependence on other countries for gas and lower gas prices. What are the long term effects it will have? Is it worth the risk? Is this the new reality we are faced with or is there something that can be done before it is too late? These are just some of the

The oil and gas industry is seeking to expand natural gas production across the nation‚ as new technology makes it easier to extract gas from previously inaccessible sites. Over the last decade‚ the industry has drilled thousands of new wells in the Rocky Mountain region and in the South. It is expanding operations in the eastern United States as well‚ setting its sights most recently on a 600-mile-long rock formation called the Marcellus Shale‚ which stretches from West Virginia to western New York

Module: 121 Natural Resources Assignment Questions and Answers 1. Why do people still use Non-Renewable Natural Resources even though they have many issues. Explain with some examples. Non-Renewable Resources are the resources that cannot be reproduced/grown/generated or used scale which can sustain its consumption. Eg: Coal because it gets exhausted and long time to reform. When we use them and some other examples are LPG/nuclear/natural gas and fossil fuel are natural gas and nuclear energy

Scientists predict that we will be able to exploit coal for about two hundred and twenty years‚ natural gas about sixty years and oil will run out in forty years1. They also suggest the shift from fossil-fuel-consuming civilization towards the green global community who will create a symbiotic relation with nature. In practice‚ this means seeking alternative
