Gasoline is made fromcrude oil. The crude oilpumped out of the groundis a black liquid calledpetroleum. This liquid contains hydrocarbons, and the carbon atoms in crude oil link together in chains of different lengths. It turns out that hydrocarbon molecules of different lengths have di...
A pipe is inserted in the water. A motor above the fluid level removes enough air from the pipe to decrease the air pressure above the gasoline. The motor continues to remove air until the air pressure above the gasoline is lower than the air pressure pushing down on the gas outside the...
Canada has 171 billion barrels within its borders. However, nearly all of these reserves are located in Alberta's "sandpits," a terrain that makes the oil and gas harder to extract from the earth than it is in other countries. However, technological innovations are expected to make extracting...
This invention refers to a procedure for obtaining a biocrude from greenhouse gases, a procedure which is advantageous industrially and continuous. By means of said procedure it is possible to capture, convert and revalue CO 2 , among other greenhouse gases, in an efficient manner, in such a ...
Housing – Diesel to prepare the lot where the house is built; energy of many kinds to create and transport materials such as lumber and wiring; human energy to put the pieces together; electricity for lights after it is built; natural gas or electricity to heat the home after it is built...
The viscosity of crude oil can vary significantly, ranging from fast-flowing liquid to heavy, tar-like blends that are almost solid. This parameter measures the “thickness” of crude oil and is influenced by chemical composition, temperature, pressure and the presence of dissolved ga...
Petroleum is a generic term used to denote both the crude oil that is found deep underneath the sedimentary rock of the Earth's crust, and the refined products obtained from this oil, e.g., liquefied petroleum gas, diesel, bitumen, etc. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, so called because i...
Gas is just like any other consumer product: There's a supply chain and several groups who are responsible for setting the price of the product. The media can sometimes lead you to believe that the price of gas is based solely on the price of crude oil, but there are actually many ...
AVEVA™ Unified Supply Chain is oil and gas supply chain management software that gives companies the supply chain resiliency to navigate oil and gas market volatility.
Its crude oil output rose to over 200 million tonnes, while natural gas production saw an increase of over 10 billion cubic meters for six consecutive years. China has sufficient energy reserve and management mechanisms to help cope with peaks in energy use amid cold waves and the Spring ...
