Shale oil and shale gas resources are globally abundant

Republished June 14 at 10:56 to correct an error in Table 2. Estimated shale oil and shale gas resources in the United States and in 137 shale formations in 41 other countries represent 10% of the world's crude oil and 32% of the world's natural gas technically recoverable resources, or those that can be produced using current technology without reference to economic profitability, according to a new EIA-sponsored study (see Table 1) released today (June 10, 2013). More than half of the identified shale oil resources outside the United States are concentrated in four countries—Russia, China, Argentina, and Libya—while more than half of the non-U.S. shale gas resources are concentrated in five countries—China, Argentina, Algeria, Canada, and Mexico.
Ryvita
Ryvita is a rye-based crispbread which until 2009 was manufactured by The Ryvita Company. The company was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1930 and is today a subsidiary of Associated British Foods. Ryvita crackers are popular with dieters. History[edit] In 1925, the Ryvita company was established, with a bakery set up in Birmingham two years later, producing one of the first packaged goods in the bakery field.

Hydraulic Fracturing water shed council
After a well is fracked, 25-75% of the fluid is returned to the surface along with the oil or gas. The rest of the fluids remain underground. Used fracturing fluids that return to the surface are referred to as flowback. Most of the flowback returns to the surface in the first seven to ten days while the rest can occur over a three to four week time period. Production Wells are completed for production if the value of the recoverable oil and natural gas is greater than the cost of drilling, producing, and delivery to market. The water recovered along with the oil or gas is called produced water. Produced water generally does not have the chemicals added as fracking fluid during the hydraulic fracturing process. Plugging and Site Reclamation Wells no longer producing economically or wells that did not produce oil or gas must be plugged. This video from the Michigan Oil & Gas Producers Education Foundation (MOGPEF) illustrates the well construction and hydraulic fracturing process.
Misunderstanding Orange Juice as a Health Drink - Adee Braun
Juice is, nutritionally, not much better than soda. How did U.S. consumers come to believe that oranges, in any form, were an important part of a healthy diet? A tall glass of orange juice is the very image of refreshment, packed with vitamins and radiating with sunshine freshness. Orange juice’s fresh and healthy reputation lies in the balance today, but it was once America’s healing elixir around which an entire industry staked its hopes. Here’s a taste experiment for the adventurous and historically inclined drinker: Boil some orange juice, place it in a can, and leave it on a shelf for several weeks. At the time, most people ate oranges rather than drinking their fruit. McCollum ignited a panic over a nebulous condition called acidosis: an excess of acid in the bloodstream which supposedly caused fatigue and lassitude. During World War II the U.S. But as Hamilton details in her book, there is practically nothing fresh or pure about it.
Peak oil
A 1956 world oil production distribution, showing historical data and future production, proposed by M. King Hubbert; it has a peak of 12.5 billion barrels per year about the year 2000 Historical US crude oil production showing initial similarity to a Hubbert curve Peak oil, an event based on M. King Hubbert's theory, is the point in time when the maximum rate of petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production is expected to enter terminal decline.[1] Peak oil theory is based on the observed rise, peak, (sometimes rapid) fall, and depletion of aggregate production rate in oil fields over time. Some observers, such as petroleum industry experts Kenneth S. Optimistic[2] estimations of peak production forecast the global decline will begin after 2020, and assume major investments in alternatives will occur before a crisis, without requiring major changes in the lifestyle of heavily oil-consuming nations.
