Introduction to Natural Gas, SBC. "Gas takes off" New FactBook presents natural gas technologies in the energy mix The latest academically reviewed SBC Energy Institute FactBook, "Introduction to Natural Gas", assesses the reasons behind natural gas’s growing importance within the global energy mix and challenges associated with gas use, as well as the current status of and likely developments in natural-gas technologies.

Introduction to Natural Gas, SBC

One of a series of FactBooks on energy sources and technologies published by the SBC Energy Institute, a non-profit energy research group created by Schlumberger Business Consulting in 2011, this new publication introduces the natural gas value chain: upstream – resources and production; midstream – processing, transport, storage and distribution; and downstream – end-uses.

Rig Count Overview & Summary Count. All questions on the Baker Hughes Rig Count should be e-mailed to: Oilfield Knowledge Center Baker Hughes has issued the rotary rig counts as a service to the petroleum industry since 1944, when Hughes Tool Company began weekly counts of U.S. and Canadian drilling activity.

Rig Count Overview & Summary Count

Hughes initiated the monthly international rig count in 1975. The North American rig count is released weekly at noon central time on the last day of the work week. The international rig count is released on the fifth working day of each month. The Baker Hughes Rig Counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers.

Understanding Tight and Shale Gas - United States

Typically, North American gas formations that require fracturing are located a mile (1.6 kilometers) or more below the water table, trapped below many layers of impermeable rock.

Written by OilPrice.com Premium Analysts July 18th, 2013 email: admin@oilprice.com Oil and gas is getting bigger, deeper, faster and more efficient, with new technology chipping away at “peak oil” concerns.

Six Tech Advancements Changing the Fossil Fuels Game

While hydraulic fracturing has been the most visible revolutionary advancement, other high-tech developments are keeping the ball rolling—from the next generation of ultra-deepwater drillships, subsea oil and gas infrastructure and multi-well-pad drilling to M2M networking, floating LNG facilities, new dimensions in seismic imagery and supercomputing for analog exploration. Rig advancements are coming online in tandem with the significantly increased momentum to drill in deeper waters as shallower reserves run out.

April Update and Introducing “The Next Mining Boom” The team at The Next Oil Rush has been busy launching our new Mining Focused website – The Next Mining Boom.

April Update and Introducing “The Next Mining Boom”

We have just published an article about an up and coming gold explorer that we are very excited about, you can view the full article here (free and no subscription required, as always): Lead geologist quite mining super major to start own company after uncovering once in a lifetime gold project. Hopefully this company will give us some short term joy in an otherwise dreadful junior explorer market…. It’s been a shocking week in the junior resources sector – small cap resource companies stock prices have been punished across the board, and sabre rattling and general postulating by Kim Jong Un probably hasn’t helped much either, with the Next Oil Rush Stock Portfolio not able to escape the small cap carnage. Portfolio Updates: Swala – the Swala IPO is currently scheduled for Friday April 12th, and will be listing under code SWE – we are watching with great interest. Oil and Gas Exploration in Thailand.

Cette courbe est censée passer par un maximum, puis décroître. Ce terme est également associé aux chocs socio-économiques et géopolitiques, qui pourrait être consécutifs à l’épuisement des réserves pétrolières mondiales. Appelé Peak Oil en anglais, il constitue l’extrapolation des travaux du géophysicen Marion King Hubbert.

Maps, Geology & Resources. United States Oil Shale Deposits. Numerous deposits of oil shale, ranging from Precambrian to Tertiary age, are present in the United States.

United States Oil Shale Deposits

The two most important deposits are in the Eocene Green River Formation in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah and in the Devonian-Mississippian black shales in the eastern United States. Oil shale associated with coal deposits of Pennsylvanian age is also in the eastern United States. Other deposits are known to be in Nevada, Montana, Alaska, Kansas, and elsewhere, but these are either too small, too low grade, or have not yet been well enough explored (Russell, 1990, p. 82-157) to be considered as resources for the purposes of this report. Because of their size and grade, most investigations have focused on the Green River and the Devonian-Mississippian deposits. Green River Formation: -Geology A noteworthy aspect of the mineralogy is the complete lack of authigenic sulfate minerals.

Note that two moles of bicarbonate are formed for each mole of sulfate that is reduced. In 1967, the U.S.

The Future of oil: geology versus technology

IMF, May 2012, 33 p. (IMF working paper ; WP/12/109) We discuss and reconcile two diametrically opposed views concerning the future of world oil production and prices. The geological view expects that physical constraints will dominate the future evolution of oil output and prices. It is supported by the fact that world oil production has plateaued since 2005 despite historically high prices, and that spare capacity has been near historic lows.
