Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology‚ applied mathematics‚ and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and water in reservoir rock. Of particular interest to reservoir

CHEMISTRY ISU: REFINEMENT OF CRUDE OIL My ISU will focus on Petroleum‚ a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that occurs in the Earth in liquid‚ gaseous‚ or solid forms. The term is usually restricted to the liquid form‚ commonly called crude oil‚ but as a technical term it also includes natural gas and the viscous or solid form known as bitumen. In its liquid and gaseous states‚ it is also known as Oil‚ or Crude Oil. Italicized are segments from my ISU or introductions to the planned topics. In my

programming language that is rather like Pascal. The first version of Matlab was produced in the mid 1970s as a teaching tool. The vastly expanded Matlab is now used for mathematical calculations and simulation in companies and government labs ranging from aerospace‚ car design‚ signal analysis through to instrument control & financial analysis. Other similar programs are Mathematica and Maple. Mathematica is somewhat better at symbolic calculations but is slower at large numerical calculations. Recent

The Historical Background to the English Legal System The United Kingdom The United Kingdom (UK) is divided into four regions: England‚ Wales‚ Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each of these regions can be thought of as a country. However‚ the UK is one state not a federation of states (as in a federal state like the US or Australia) because all the separate parts are subject to the UK Parliament. This is said to have sovereign power. This means that it is subject to no higher legal authority

SOURCES OF COMPUTER VIRUS Virus infection in Computers can be contacted through different means. Below are the commonest causes of Computer Virus attack. 1. Through the internet: The easiest and quickest means of spreading Computer Virus is through the internet. Basically through downloaded files and documents. When the source of a document is not trusted it should not be downloaded. If at all it will be downloaded it has to be thoroughly scanned for virus with a reliable anti-virus Software. 2.

Using Sources Why should marijuana be legalized? There are many reasons but a few are because of its medicinal value‚ that it would stimulate the economy‚ and it would lower crime. I plan to use the following information for the body of my final paper. One of the most supported reasons for legalizing marijuana is its medicinal value. Herbs were used before all the advanced medicines we have today and use of marijuana for medical reasons date back almost 5‚000 years (Norml). As for U.S. history

due to dying and decomposing sea organisms‚ or serpentinization. The sediment contains bacteria that produce methane‚ which accumulates as super concentrated methane ice‚ called gas hydrates. The layer of ice traps the methane gas‚ and scientists are studying it as a potential energy source. What is methane? Methane is an extremely flammable and explosive gas. At the bottom of the ocean it is found in a form called ’methane hydrate ’‚ when the particles are locked in a lattice with water

exhausted 80% of her petroleum reserves. Will we then go to war with the Arabs for the privilege of driving our cars? Will we strip-mine our land for coal and poison the air we breathe to drive our autos an additional 100 years? Will we raze our forests for our energy needs? I certainly hope our country will never come to those conclusions. However‚ someone must make a conclusion hopefully toward an alternate fuel source. The fuel source I would propose is biomass fuel derived from hemp. Hemp
