Producing electricity from crude oil is expensive compared to other fossil fuels such as coal or gas. Click here for more energy facts! We’ve got a whole series about energy, electricity, and power generation! It’s called Curious Kate, and you can listen to it below! Energy Source Fact...
All these fractions are separated from the crude oil mixture. 3:10 → 3:15 To try and explain the importance of crude oil consider these facts. 3:15 → 3:19 There are estimated to be over 1 billion cars in the world, 3:19 → 3:23 ...
synthetic oil wells (see Fig.1). As an alternative to legacy fossil fuel, these oil wells can be tapped, shared and stored, with the option for the property owner to receive payment for any excess fed into a renewable oil grid. Envision this model adopted globally and collectively. This ...
Oil cracking involves the thermal breakdown of heavy hydrocarbons to smaller ones, or the process of ultimately converting oil to hydrogen-rich gas and carbon-rich pyrobitumen59. In our hydrothermal pyrolysis, we found that the extent of oil cracking (EOC; i.e., the percentage of liquid hydroc...
Diamondoid compounds are widely used to reflect thermal maturation of high mature source rocks or oils and oil cracking extents. However, diamondoids and thiadiamondoids were demonstrated to have newly been generated and decomposed in our hydrothermal pyrolysis of crude oil and TSR experiments. Our...
Net energy is the real issue at any rate and counting a million barrels of ethanol as a million barrels of oil is a joke to anybody who passed freshman chemistry.The energy content is only about seventy percent of real oil. Then if we have the freshmen accounting majors to run the books...
Qatar has lots of natural gas but their oil production has clearly peaked and is now in pretty steep decline. From 2005 through 2010 the oil rig count in the UAE averaged around 12. In October their oil rig count stood at 46, almost 4 times their average. They have managed to increase...

As a country with a remarkable crude oil deposit, it is a dark irony that Nigeria depends on importation for its petroleum product needs. The devastating impact on Nigeria’s economy of this dependence continues to provoke polemics. Recently, the polemics dominated the text of Nigeria’s leading...
