Arbitrage in LIQUIFIED Natural Gas December 2012 Take a look at the long-term charts of crude oil and natural gas. The historical oil-to-gas price ratios have ranged from 6:1 to 10:1 before the economic crisis. Since one barrel of oil contains the energy equivalent of the 5.825 million BTU of natural gas‚ an implied BTU arbitrage kept this relationship in check. Spot natural gas traded as low 1.905 earlier in the week implying an energy equivalent price of a barrel

Deadwood thicker in the west. It deposited siliciclastic glauconite rich marine sandstones‚ and shales with very thin carbonate beds throughout. The Winnipeg Formation overlies the Deadwood Formation and is the lowest formation of Ordovician ages in the Williston. The Winnipeg is divided into two different members. The Black Island member is a quartz-rich sandstone while the Icebox member is mostly shales with few interbedded sandstones. The Black Island has been described as having “excellent reservoir

Stop Fracking With the rising global energy demand‚ shale gas has been considered as the next big thing for energy producers. Fracking is a technology use to extract that natural gas stored deep underground. Although fracking can collect plenty of natural gases‚ it has left a number of very serious impacts both on the environment and human health. Air pollution‚ water contamination and threaten human health are the consequences caused by fracking. Air pollution problem is so obvious for the communities

The following findings were obtained: Higher viscosity. | Higher CSOR ate earlier times. | Same permeability with one having low porosity. | Better recovery factor. | Injector well location closer than 5m to the producer. | Higher CSOR and lower recovery. | Optimum rate of steam injection. | Higher CSOR and higher recovery. | Optimum preheating period. | Higher CSOR and higher recovery. | Horizontal shale barrier

nation’s most sought after fuel‚ natural gas‚ had begun. Fracking is a technique where water‚ chemicals‚ and sand are pumped into an underground well. This is done to unlock the natural gases trapped in shale formations. When this mixture is injected at high pressure into a well it creates fractures in the shale allowing gas to flow into the well. Our energy resources are an essential component of our modern society. Every day Americans hear about how companies are in search of reliable and affordable

United States” 135). The domestication of energy is the production and consumption of energy from resources found in the home country. Domestic energy can occur from petroleum reserves on public and private lands‚ from using hydraulic fracturing of shale to make gas‚ and from the use of renewable resources. It is needed because of how it gives economic stability and securable energy for the citizens of the home country. The domestication of energy and how to produce it is an emerging topic that concerns
