best way to go. For the past few years there has been an ongoing debate about oil drilling in Alaska. Alaska is often referred to as America’s last frontier. It is wild and natural and it has undisturbed resources that are currently being looked at for the future. Drilling for oil in Alaska has become a controversial issue for several reasons. Environmentalists and scientists remain at odds over the affect the drilling will have on the future of the area. Some of the concerns involve the Eskimos

country must decrease its dependence on oil and invest in alternative sources of energy‚ such as wind and solar power. Others argue that changing to new power sources is unnecessary and expensive. They state that the United States should search for oil in Alaska‚ the Gulf Coast‚ and other currently unexplored areas within the country. I will state my opposition on this issue. I believe that the United States should invest money in offshore oil drilling. I understand that the world is facing global

Period 7 8 September 2017 Oil Drilling Offshore of the Atlantic Coast Introduction. Some argue that offshore oil drilling negatively impacts coastal economies and marine life. Others say that offshore drilling boosts the economy and is safe to marine life. Clearly‚ companies should not be allowed to drill oil off the coast of the Atlantic shore of the United States. Oil drilling off the Atlantic coast is lethal to the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Oil drilling companies use machines

Through the synthesis process‚ 31.307 grams of canola biodiesel was produced‚ which is a percentage yield of 85.714%. In order to get this percentage yield‚ the following calculations were made: 40.2 mL canola oil × 0.9073 g1 mL=36.5 g × 1 mol376.6 g=0.0416 moles canola oil From the prelab‚ for every 1 mole of oil‚ 3 moles of biodiesel are produced. 0.0416 mol oil × 3 mol biodiesel1 mol oil=0.125 mol biodiesel

The United States should not drill for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge because it would harm the environment‚ disrupt the animals‚ and destroy plants. The United States Congress created the Artic National Wildlife Refuge in 1980 (To drill or not to drill?: 6). The Artic National Wildlife Refuge is also known as ANWR (To drill or not to drill?: 6). The Artic National Wildlife Refuge is 19.6 million acres of wilderness (Scalzo‚ Jim Lo.: 37). Of the 19.6 million acres in the Artic National

DRILLING FLUIDS The key to making the rotary drilling system work is the ability to circulate a fluid continuously down through the drill pipe‚ out through the bit nozzles and back to the surface. The drilling fluid can be air‚ foam (a combination of air and liquid or a liquid. Liquid drilling fluids are commonly called drilling mud. All drilling fluids‚ especially drilling mud‚ can have a wide range of chemical and physical properties. These properties are specifically designed for

I know that I am known as the great peace maker but the public needs to be reminded why that is. Also we need to have solid propaganda on why we need to drill this oil‚ to include the lies we need to tell when it comes to investing into other energy sources. World leaders‚ you already know and understand that public opinion is the key to drilling oil in New Guinea. The cameras

aMicroscale Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product. Reagents: * Compound: | * MW (g/mol): | * MP (°C): | * BP (°C): | * Density (g/mL):

DRILLING THEORY Principles of percussive drilling In percussive drilling‚ the energy required to break the rock is generated by a pneumatic or hydraulic rock drill. Machines of this kind build up a pressure which‚ on being released‚ drives the piston forward (Fig. 1). The piston strikes on the shank adaptor. The kinetic energy of the piston is converted into a stress wave which travels along the drill string to the rock. In order to obtain the best possible drilling economy the whole
