CASE STUDY Gas and Grouse Introduction The objective of this case study is to investigate the various systemic‚ corporate and ethical issues behind Questar Corporation’s drilling operations on the Pinedale Mesa. Besides that‚ this case study is conducted to determine the value of wildlife species and its balance against the economic interests of Questar Corporation. Furthermore‚ it is also to determine whether Questar is morally obligated to cease its operations on the mesa and whether

are prime examples of the implementation of gas laws. The physics are based on the simple principle that warm air rises in cooler air. Hot air has less mass per unit of volume. The relevant gas law in use is Charless Law‚ which is V1/T1=V2/T2. The law states that raising the temperature (T1) will also increase the volume (V2)‚ in order to keep the equation true. Generally‚ air is heated through the use of propane burners. When ignited‚ the volume of the gas increases but the balloon cannot expand much

OVERALL Questar corporation is an energy company with asset valued at about $4 billion which is the main developer of the gas wells arround the Pinedale Mesa‚ an area that is famous at the gateway to the hunting‚ fishing‚ and hiking treasures. Ocassionally elk‚ mule deer‚ pronghorn antelope and other wild life‚ including the imperiled greater sage grouse‚ descent from their habitats atop the mesa and gingerly make their way around and between the questar wells around Pinedale. Not suprisingly‚ environmentalist

The oil and gas industry is one of the world’s largest‚ complex‚ and expensive industry. The prices of oil and gas are probably the most closely plotted products in the global economy. In this industry there are three main segment of value chain: upstream‚ midstream‚ and downstream. It is evident that energy source play vital input to human activities‚ development‚ and growth of the economy. Hence‚ it is believed that after the industrial revolution‚ accessed clean‚ inexpensive and reliable energy

Case: Gas or Grouse? 1. Systemic issues: Questar is a company and it knows that every mining activities in Mesa will affect the ecological environment. But BLM did nothing since Questar had damaged the local environment. And we know many gas companies have special relationship with governments. Corporate issues: Questar has destroyed the environment when the mining operation was begun. Individual issues: The people who live in Pinedale Mesa believe the drilling activity bring numerous

Plant derives their power from gas burning. LNG Power Plant can use gas engine or gas turbine as their power generating unit. Generally gas turbine design for simple & combine cycle with rugged components for base load utility service but also can start & stop easily for peaking application. In the other hand‚ gas engine design for wide variety of application‚ and provide fast and flexible capacity with multiple unit.

efficient distribution and transmission network. High voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is ideal for such applications. The range of application of SF₆ Gas Insulated Switchgear extends from voltage ratings of 72.5 kV up to 800 kV with breaking currents of up to 63 kA‚ and in special cases up to 80 kA. Both small transformer substations and large load- centre substations can be designed with GIS technology. The distinctive advantages of SF₆ Gas Insulated Switchgear are: compact‚ low weight‚ high reliability

embargo was skyrocketing energy prices as a result of limited supply and heavy demand. Rationing went into effect‚ with supplies of petroleum products being carefully doled out with ration cards and flag systems‚ in which people could take turns buying gas and other fuels on the basis of license plate numbers. At the same time‚ the stock market contracted radically‚ an event that foreshadowed future stock market instabilities linked to the price of oil. The 1970s was also an era in which environmentalism
