and other natural disasters. A final issue associated with this phenomenon is the negative effect on animals. Fish populations could be effected‚ while some insects which spread disease might become more common. There are several things we can do to deal with global warming. One answer is to stop making C02. We can do this by switching from oil‚ coal and gas to renewable energy. A second solution is to plant more trees. Trees absorb C02 and produce oxygen‚ which is not a greenhouse gas. A third idea

INTRODUCTION Oil and Gas refers to the naturally occurring liquid and natural gas specifically made up of long chain hydrocarbons and various organic compounds found beneath the surface of the earth in entrapments called reservoirs; the presence of oil and gas in these reservoirs is the reason humans survive everyday and carry out their daily activities effectively. Different activities are usually carried out to ensure that the oil and gas present in the reservoirs continue to support humans

pollution can be defined as the means of introducing hazardous materials such as carbon dioxide into the air. Society as a whole should educate themselves about three major causes of air pollution‚ car pollution‚ industrial pollution and pollution from natural causes such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions. Society should do this so they can take the appropriate remedial actions. Air pollution from car exhaust has become a serious issue‚ first off Industrial pollution is one of the biggest man mad

Shale drilling can be attributed to several factors. The industry has rushed to shift resources to areas that produce crude oil‚ like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas‚ which sells for higher prices than gas. And other shale gas fields like the booming Marcellus Shale have surpassed the Barnett in daily production‚ further pushing the 30-year-old North Texas fields into the background” (Star Telegram) In 2009 my company XTO Energy Inc. had twenty eight drilling rigs

Anthony Martorana Purpose: To inform people of the advantages and disadvantages of fracking. For example: The resources that can be discovered by the use of fracking‚ but also the danger that it can have on a water supply. The purpose is to allow people to be as informed as possible if ever fronted with the decision of fracking Point of view: My point of view is that everyone should be informed going into this decision and that all positives and negatives should be weighed into making a decision

frequency declined as reported by Minor (1994). Despite this evidence‚ a number of examples in the last few years seems to support a new trend. For instance‚ in Bolivia in 2006 the leader Morales announced a plan to nationalize the local natural gas industry (Reel and Mufson‚ 2006); in Venezuela where over the last three years the president Chavez has ordered the nationalization of foreign firms in several extractive industries (Narea‚ 2010); in Ecuador a contract with the oil company Occidental

Fracking has been a big deal lately. Fracking is a technique to get oil and gas out of the ground but it means they have to put a pipe in the ground then send water‚sand and many other chemicals through the pipe at high-pressure. From all the pressure it makes cracks in the ground bringing up gas and oil. Even if there’s many benefits from fracking there’s many disadvantages to. My claim on this problem is that we should stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it

alkane‚ the main component of natural gas‚ and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. For this experiment we had created a bio gas generator. A biogas generator is any gas fuel derived from the decay of organic matter‚ as the mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced by the bacterial decomposition of sewage‚ manure‚ garbage‚ or plant crops. Using a slurry mix of manure and cut grass we came up with the hypothesis “The more volume of slurry‚ the more gas will be produced”. Our independent

In ancient Babylon there are writings of a dark elixir oozing from the lands surface‚ even then the people understood how precious this material was. Oil‚ along with Natural gas‚ are exceptionally rich sources of energy. A gallon of oil surpasses the output of five kg of coal‚ ten kg of wood‚ and over fifty times the amount of energy that fifty humans can produce. The richest oil can actually provide one hundred more times
