Uses of fossil fuel Fossil fuels consist of coal‚ petroleum and natural gas that are found under the earth’s surface‚ formed from billions of years of compression and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter. They are the leading source of energy for the mankind and are used for various purposes like energy for transportation‚ electricity‚ manufacturing process and also used in the manufacturing process of day to day items like plastic. Main fossil fuels are. 1. Coal Coal is

Petroleum distillates are hydrocarbon solvents produced from crude oil. Examples of these solvents include‚ mineral spirits‚ kerosene‚ white spirits‚ naphtha‚ and Stoddard solvent. In addition to being a solvent petroleum distillates “are good for removal of heavy oil and grease‚ tar‚ and waxes.” Petroleum distillates are considered a primary material which is refined similarly to propane.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the most important tasks that a petroleum engineer has to undertake is determining how much hydrocarbons are contained in a potential reservoir. Key physical characteristics that they will be concerned with include porosity‚ permeability‚ net-to-gross ratio and bulk rock volume. This information can then be used to calculate original oil in place (OOIP) and original gas in place (OGIP). Hence‚ for a given exploration prospect‚ explorers and commercial analysts can

An oil spill can be defined as an accidental or deliberate dumping of oil or petroleum products into the ocean and its coastal waters‚ bays‚ and harbors‚ or onto land‚ or into rivers or lakes (Holum 1977). Between one and ten million metric tons (one metric ton is 1000 kilograms) of oil are put into the oceans every year. The oil is released‚ most often‚ in small yet consistent doses from tankers‚ industry‚ or on shore waste disposal (Boesh‚ Hersher‚ et al. 1974). Tanker spills cost the United

development of petroleum industry in the country was considered to be of utmost necessity. Until 1955‚ private oil companies mainly carried out exploration of hydrocarbon resources of India. In Assam‚ the Assam Oil Company was producing oil at Digboi (discovered in 1889) and the Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture between Government of India and Burma Oil Company) was engaged in developing two newly discovered large fields Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam. In West Bengal‚ the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project

that‚ “the annual global input of petroleum would be between 1.7 and 8.8 million metric tons‚ the majority of which is derived from anthropogenic sources.” Meaning the estimated amount of oil that would be used every year to meet the energy demand.(Leahy and Colwell 1990) Since this prediction‚ the amount actually used each year has grown considerably. Due to this increased use‚ there have been an equal amount of environmental response from increased hydrocarbon concentration. A majority of these
