Kohat-Potwar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production The first oil well drilled in present-day Pakistan was at Kundal on the Potwar Plateau in 1866. The first commercial oil discovery was made in the Greater Indus Basin in 1914 when the Attock Oil Company completed a 214 ft well on a thrust-faulted anticline near Khaur on the Potwar Plateau (Khan and others‚ 1986). Early success in the Kohat-Potwar geologic province served to focus much of the early exploration activity in that area. The Sui

engineered environment (especially the reservoirs) and Mayan agricultural strategies. Finally‚ do you think other factors may have also contributed to the Maya collapse? If so‚ explain why. Based on the Scarborough and Haugh readings‚ I believe that the likely cycle of events leading to the cultural demise were from bad or uninformed decision-making on agricultural strategies and infrastructure design strategies that positioned themselves to be heavily dependent on reservoirs for water. The Mayans made

extracted through conventional technologies from oil reservoirs. It is also termed as tertiary recovery process as it takes place after primary and secondary oil recoveries. Oil extracted via primary recovery accounts for 5% to 15% of the total reservoir while secondary recovery can extract about 20% to 60% of the total oil present in the reservoir. By installing enhanced oil recovery technology‚ 35% to 75% oil can easily be extracted from the oil reservoir. Browse Full Report@ http://www.futuremarketinsights

Elements of weather and climate[edit] There are several elements that make up the weather and climate of a place. The major of these elements are five: temperature‚ pressure‚ wind‚ humidity and rain. Analysis of these elements can provide the basis for forecasting weather. These same elements make also the basis of climatology study‚ of course‚ within a different time scale rather than it does in meteorology. Modifying factors of weather and climate[edit] The more important are also five: latitude
