Many people think of pollution as the air that we breathe outdoors. Not everyone realizes that the air we breathe indoors is much more polluted. There are pollutants in the atmosphere that have reached a level that is causing a threat to the health of individuals. Pollution began in the early times from the gases of molten volcanic activity being released into the atmosphere. Additional pollutants were caused by the combustion of biomass‚ volatilization of organic compounds‚ and the release of

viscosities‚ inter-phase mass transfer (i.e. vaporization and condensation)‚ and miscibility affect the residual oil saturation (ROS) de fining microscopic displacement efficiency. Aerial sweep efficiency EA is the fraction of the pattern area from which reservoir fluid is displaced by the injected phase at the time of breakthrough. Factors affecting Aerial Sweep Efficiency are: Formation dip angle Mobility ratio Injection pattern and directional permeability Vertical sweep effiency EV is the ratio

Water is one of the most important resources that we as a species need in order to survive. Although it is abundant on earth‚ only a few bodies of this precious resource are considered drinkable. According to the World Wildlife Fund‚ about 1.1 billion people lack access to water (2015). Everyday we use water‚ whether it’s for drinking purposes‚ going to the bathroom‚ and many other daily tasks. However‚ people have abused this privilege in having access to water. Water is unknowingly squandered by

Renewable energy sources that might be used in oil/gas industry First of all‚ the oil and gas industry are not efficient regarding the fact they only recover 35 percent of oil from reservoirs and they cannot do more with the existing technologies they have currently so they leave about 65% of the oil in

tanks to supply the product to refineries‚ natural gas compressor stations‚ or oil export terminals. CHAPTER 7: PRODUCTION (3) MOHD FAUZI HAMID SKPP 1313: FUND. OF PETROLEUM ENGINEERING Introduction (ctd) As long as the pressure in the reservoir remains high enough‚ the production tree is all that is required to produce the well. If the pressure depletes and it is considered economically viable‚ an artificial lift method can be employed. CHAPTER 7: PRODUCTION (4) MOHD FAUZI HAMID

starting to favor the idea of reusing sewage water‚ with the stipulation that all purified sewage water be released into reservoirs before use‚ a process known as indirect potable reuse. The San Diego Public Utilities Department also recommends this procedure but suggested an extra step. Known as direct potable reuse‚ this method would intensify the purification process and skip the reservoir‚ sending it straight to the tap. No one knows which technique will be implemented‚ but‚ Heffernan explains that whichever

ruins in France and in Italy. Roman cities were built around a forum‚ or center‚ which contained temples‚ markets‚ amphitheaters‚ and government buildings. These were surrounded by walls and cleverly built aqueducts which supplied water to city reservoirs. An animated segment describes how the Romans treated the Gauls after their conquest. INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS • To examine the ancient Roman city and its influence on later cities. • To depict a fictional story of the relationship between the conquerors

To gaze upon the majestic ruins of the Mayan civilisation which collapsed over a thousand years ago‚ one is often stirred with wonder and a deep sense of curiosity (Diamond‚ 2005‚ p157-8). What happened to this great empire and what brought about its demise? The tremendous task of erecting such elaborate and colossal structures was clearly performed by the hands of a well-organized and adept group of humans (Crist and Paganini‚ 1980‚ pg24). Their empire occupied a vast area of roughly 325000 square
