After discovering hydraulic fracturing it has become possible at all production of hydrocarbons from unconventional deposits. Despite the many advantages of hydraulic fracturing raises a lot of controversy among consumes a considerable amount of water needed for the treatment.

Extracting the hot air drying kinetics model In the hot air drying‚ moisture ratio at three temperatures of 40‚ 50 and 60°C was obtained and fitted with the existing models in Table 1. Table 2 shows the coefficients and statistical indicators related to these models in the hot air drying method. The Page and modified Page models better than other ones predict moisture ratio based on the temperature of the dryer and the drying time. Values of R2‚ χ2 and RMSE for the two models in the hot air drying

| | Alkanes: Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons (this means that there are NO double bonds in the molecule). They contain Hydrogen and Carbon atoms only. There are an immense number of possibilities. The simplest being methane with just ONE atom of Carbon.You should be able to see ONE atom of Carbon and FOUR atoms of Hydrogen. In ethane there are TWO atoms of Carbon and SIX atoms of Hydrogen. In propane there are THREE atoms of Carbon and EIGHT atoms of Hydrogen. In butane there are FOUR atoms

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

Knowledge / Learning Acquired As Petroleum Engineers we are more concerned with the production of hydrocarbon‚ which can be either crude oil or natural gas. We are involved in nearly all stages of oil and gas field evaluation‚ development and production. Knowing and memorizing the concepts is not enough‚ one should be able to apply it especially when you
