The Green River oil shale, for example, is presumed to be the source of the oil in the Red Wash field in northeastern Utah. On the other hand, oil-shale deposits that have economic potential for their shale-oil and gas yields are geothermally immature and have not been subjected to ...
In general, the oil shale containing kerogen that is converted efficiently to oil contains relatively low levels of nitrogen (Scouten, 1990). Furthermore, variation of product distribution with time in the reaction zone can cause a change in product distribution (Hubbard and Robinson, 1950). ...
In addition, the Dself shows anisotropy affected by surface effect and confinement effect. As the temperature rising, the anisotropy between parallel self-diffusion coefficients is more significant. However, the temperature and pore diameters cannot change the arrangement of molecules on the wall. The...
But I have been trying to make the point for many years that global warming or climate change or whatever euphemism you decide on, is really just one side of the coin. The other side is the availability of fossil fuels to begin with. In simple terms, the earth is a finite hunk of ...
For me, it's been a long 6+ year diversion, so now I suppose that I will go back to living like a hermit in the wilds of Western NC. Maybe I'll finish my solar house and some of the other projects which await my attention. I just picked up some new valves to change the plumbi...
With this definition, reserves will change with the price, unlike oil resources, which include all oil that can be technically recovered at any price. Reserves may be for a well, a reservoir, a field, a nation, or the world. This poses some challenges in identifying true resources. Islam ...
As Figure 29a shows, the unparallel paths of new fractures change due to the local principal stress orientation and magnitude after initial pressure depletion, and the deflection decreases as the distance from the initial fractures increases. Also, Figure 29b shows that during the refracturing ...
