ANALYSIS OF UK OIL AND GAS SECTOR 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 UK OIL SECTOR OVERVIEW The oil and gas industry is a large Industry and contributes a critical role in driving the global economy (Sam’s et. al.‚ 2006).The upstream section of the Industry is involved with the first stage of exploration and production‚ the midstream section involves the transportation of crude through pipelines‚ ships e.t.c to the refineries. The downstream is involved with refining and process of the oil and gas products. The

Synthetic marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids also known by many other names such as spice and K2‚ refer to a growing number of man-made mind-altering chemicals that are either sprayed on dried‚ shredded plant material so they can be smoked (herbal incense) or sold as liquids to be vaporized and inhaled in e-cigarettes and other devices (liquid incense). The effects of synthetic cannabinoids are similar to those produced by marijuana: elevated mood‚ relaxation‚ altered perception‚ symptoms of psychosis

CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Identification of camphor and menthol using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC – MS) In this study‚ the presence of menthol and camphor were determined from 5 different locally produced medicinal topical ointment samples. Sample of Vick® VapoRub® and Hurix’s Massage Balm were purchased from local pharmacies‚ Bunga Cengkih Balm and Serai Balm samples were purchased from the grocery shop. Buah Pala Balm sample was purchased from the night market

Ofon Field‚ Oil and Gas Field‚ Nigeria Ofon Field is an oil and natural gas field located in the Oil Mining Lease (OML) 102‚ about 65km offshore in the south-eastern coast of Nigeria. The reserves lie at a water depth of 40m (131ft). The OML 102 is owned by state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC - 60%) and is operated by Total Exploration-Production Nigeria (TEPNG - 40%)‚ formerly Elf Petroleum Nigeria. The proved and probable reserves at Ofon are about 350 million barrels

SUMMARY The aim is to observe distillation process of ethanol-water solution and to measure the alcohol content after process in this experiment. 500 ml of solution with an alcohol content of 32% (v/v) is used for this experiment. Temperature values are recorded for every 10 ml alcohol obtained in the flask. The process is repeated in our experiment and for the first process‚ the data collection process continues until the distillate reaches to 200 ml. The concentration of alcohol is measured for

Synthetic biology combines the "elements of engineering‚ chemistry‚ computer science‚ and molecular biology…to assemble the biological tools necessary to redesign the living world" (Specter 364). There are both positive and negative impacts of a synthetic world on the environment movement. The environmental issues consist pollution‚ depletion of natural

Chromatography is a process used to separate mixtures. The word chromatography is derived from the Greek words ‘khroma’ and ‘graphein’ meaning ‘color’ and ‘to write’ or to represent. Although there are a couple different types of chromatography‚ in each case a substance is placed onto or into a medium and a solvent is passed through the test substance. In chromatography science‚ the solvent is called the mobile phase or the carrier fluid and the medium is called the stationary phase. There are four

ABSTRACT Firms that operate in the oil and gas industry experience a number of risks in the supply chain of oil and gas and petrochemical as by products. These risks are inherently inculcated into the supply chain of oil and gas and related products ranging from the exploration‚ production‚ and marketing of oil‚ gas and related products. Quantitative and qualitative research will be conducted into the effects of these risks has revealed a strong relationship between the concepts of risk management

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The main objective of this project was to carry out a design on the Propane distillation column for a process that produces 1‚3 Butadiene. The raw materials used are Butane‚ Oxygen and Water and the process capacity is 100 000 tonnes per annum nominal. In the previous work it was stated that the plant is located in China. The main location of the plant is in the capital city of the Gansu Provence‚ Lanzhou. This was decided as the location over other provinces due to the excellent
