‘Industrial Gas Drilling Reporter’ by James L. Simpson, Hilary Atkin and Jennifer McAleese

Introduction

Natural gas, a nonrenewable source of fuel formed in the earth millions of years ago, perhaps before the dinosaurs, is a fossil fuel that, according to Scientists, forms from ancient plants and animals’ remains. As an energy source, natural gas boasts of superabundant benefits that render it one of the most preferable sources of energy in the world compared to other sources of energy such as coal. This can be attested in light of the fact that natural gas does not produce much green house gases (Congress, 2010). This paper is an article review of the article ‘Industrial Gas Drilling ...

Introduction

Fire in Goafs (mines) is considered to be a potential environmental and health risk throughout the globe. Although, plenty of conventional fire extinguishing methods has been proposed in the past, yet they contain side effects. The authors in propose a novel fire management system using expansion form for fighting with fire at the top of goafs. The system contains a jet device for adding foaming agent produced by foam generator. The foam is powered by water pressure and compressed gas that are intrinsically safe for operating in mines. The expansion foam propels itself upwards to extinguish fire at the ...

Woody Hochswender’s article “Did My Car Join Al Qaeda?” is not persuasive enough. Hochswender successfully applies imagery in the form of graphic pictures and empathetic gestures to entice onlookers to think using the same mindset as he does. He drives a large SUV that requires a ton of gas. This, he says to his audience, is his decision of transportation but it does not imply he is an awful person. His impudence is duly noted by the Virtuous One, who according to the context, demands that the USA national utilization of fuel is to some degree responsible for ...

The horror of the Piper Alpha disaster happened about two decades ago. Explosion and fire ripped through the Piper Alpha oil production platform in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. About 167 workers were killed as a result of the Piper Alpha Disaster.
Several investigations were made but most of them were hindered by a lack of physical evidence. However, an eye-witness account made it known that light hydrocarbon got released into the surrounding when a pump was restarted after maintenance. On that terrible day, the day shift maintenance crew were said to be on some of the pumps ...

Introduction

In essence, Mechanical Ventilation (MV) aids in supporting critically ill patients in maintaining adequate gas alveolar. Pediatrics patients admitted to the intensive care units in need of the therapy ranges between 30% and 64%. Despite the benefits derived from using this method, some complication emerges at the end of the process when it is employed in premature babies. Primarily, the therapy may lead to lung damage, dysfunction of the right ventricle, and pneumonia. Extubation occurs when a patient can maintain efficient gas exchange without being sustained by the ventilator or when requiring minimum support. Notably, ventilator disconnection comprises of ...

The term ‘nova’ is the Latin name for a new star and was first used in 1573 by Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer. No matter how bright a new star can be, its brightness lasts for a span of weeks and then fades to obscurity. A novae normally occurs in binary systems where a normal star transfers matter onto a white dwarf. One of the major processes that occur is the piling of hydrogen onto the dwarf an aspect that generates heat. The heating continues especially on the outer layer as the dwarf ignites in a runaway. This causes a thermonuclear reaction that blows off the accumulated hydrogen ...

The current literature on project management is luxuriant, treating similar topics in different approaches. For instance, the topic of critical success factors in project management has been approached from a qualitative data collection perspective in Aliaz, Zawawi, Yusof and Aris’ (2014) article “Determining Critical Success Factors of Project Management Practice: A Conceptual Framework”. The same topic has been approached with a quantitative data collection model in Denni-Fiberesima and Rani’s (2011) article “An Evaluation of Critical Success Factors in Oil and Gas Project Portfolio in Nigeria”.
Aliaz et al (2014) indicate that their data is comprised of critical success ...

Discussion

In the article the author provides arguments about the impossibility of the oil price reversal in short-term perspective. Despite the fact that demand and supply do not work every time in modern economic situation, oil and gas are those products that heavily depend on amounts of production and consumption. Thus as shifts happened in both demand and supply, the way back to $100 per barrel promises to be long and hard.
Nowadays the price is under $75 per barrel of oil and under $3 per gallon of gasoline, and the world raises a question when the rebound will happen. ...

A drought that occurred in 1988 over North America sparked scientists to suggest theories as to what caused the phenomenon. From this, studies spawned as to what we can now relate to as “global warming”. According to Congress and the United States Administration, global warming is caused by a build-up of greenhouse gases such as; carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons. This was the stepping stone to more studies and theories on greenhouse gas and global warming.
The greenhouse effect is a natural occurrence that allows ultraviolet radiation to pass on the surface of the earth and blocks infrared ...

The pressure of atmospheric oxygen decreases gradually as barometric pressure drops with increasing altitude. The ability to perform work, such as walking and climbing belittles with the decreased availability of oxygen in the atmosphere for aerobic respiration. The Mount Everest is the highest peak on the earth with an altitude of 8848 meters. At such a higher altitude, the partial pressure of inspired oxygen or PIO2 reaches the limit at which humans can maintain body functions, such as cognition and ambulation. In 1953, Hillary and Tenzing used supplemental oxygen while climbing the Everest. It was only 25 years later that ...

An overview of the Federal Transportation program is that in recent years it faced a lot of challenges since its inception years. Lack of funding is the most urgent problem that the program faces with trust fund for highways slowly heading towards the direction of bankruptcy. The public is not yet ready to embrace alternative sources of funding such as the mileage fees, road fares and income taxes. Priority has not yet been placed to investments on the national transport system and maintaining the existing ones but rather it is directed to developing high speed programs on railways.

The Petroleum Industry faces many challenges regularly and one of the challenges is to hydraulically fracture a reservoir that is naturally fractured. The natural fracture systems are essential as they are considered for ideal stimulation. Oil and gas reservoirs use hydraulic fracturing, but using the hydraulic fracture in unconventional gas reservoirs’ is the main challenge as hydrocarbons cannot be extracted from these reservoirs without the fractures. A few factors that affect the hydraulic and natural fracture interaction are the horizontal differential stress, the angle set for the fracture and the pressure that is applied during the treatment.
An observation ...

Canada does have its own federal regulators. One of their jobs is to ensure that while resources are being developed in the country, the environment is not being exposed to unnecessary harm. Another job of the regulators is to monitor any undo financial risks to protect the economy of the country. According to a recent report, the country’s decision to aggressively pursue development of some of its resources has come before the protection of both the environment and the safety and security of the country’s finances.
Canada’s commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, Scott Vaughan, ...

Agreement for Globalization to Achieve Sustainability

Globalization and Sustainable Development
In his article, Recovering Sustainable Development, Victor discusses the original meaning of sustainable development, the ways in which it has been distorted, and a basic framework to return to the theory’s original principles. The original theory states that boosting the economy, protecting natural resources and ensuring social justice should be complimentary and interwoven ideas to each other. This theory has found its challenges in its application though the vague, high-level statements and lack of actionable specific application for individual countries to follow. Return to the basics includes four courses of action: alleviating poverty, eliminating ...

According to Victoria et al. (2012), the global demand for food has escalated by over 50% with the demand for water and energy heightening by up to 60% and 45% respectively. These increases have consequentially mounted a tremendous pressure on the world’s soils. In this light, the authors contend that soil plays an all-important role in the stabilization of the world’s climate, water supplies and most importantly biodiversity.

With an intention to emphasize the importance of soil ...

Introduction

Often, when murders commit their heinous crimes, they do not consider that the circumstances could turn around, making them the victims. They often feel secure and in a safe position to continue with their activities. When brought before a court of law and convicted for their crimes, they often try to plead their case by making the authorities feel guilty for passing the sentence on them. This is what happened with Robert Lee Willie, who, after being convicted for execution in a Louisiana state prison, admitted that killing is wrong whether done by an individual or by the state. Other murders such ...

1.0 Introduction
In an effort to move towards cleaner sustainable technologies, Philips, the Dutch based electronics company, has designed a microbial home project. The project envisions homes where traditional waste is recycled to address sustainability issues. As part of this project, Philips designers have developed the “bio-light” concept in which bacteria are made to produce a green glow when fed with methane gas that is derived from household waste digesters. The bacteria in this case create light in the similar way that living organisms like glow worms and fireflies do through a phenomenon known as bioluminescence . The bacteria produce the light ...
