Impacts of Petroleum Exploration, Extraction and Transport

Oil shale may be defined as those rocks that usually contain a high proportion and percentage of organic matter such as kerogen. Oil shale is mainly characterized by the low calorific value as well high ash and even mineral content. Oil usually produces energy, which serves a very crucial purpose to our planet. Energy is regarded as the lifeblood of the planet earth and its occupants, thereby, being categorized as among the essential commodities that normally powers the intentions to expand the global economy (Burnham, Stubblefield, & Campbell, 1980). In the 1950s, natural gas and oil became the primary sources of liveliness ...

Electricity has been the most important part of mankind. Since the discovery of electromagnetic induction by Michael Faraday in 1831, it came a long way in helping every activity of man. And with this, demand for electricity has gone up in recent years. A need for larger plants to produce electricity is necessary to sustain this demand. However to obtain electricity, we must harvest this from energy sources. Currently, fossil fuels have been the primary source of energy, however these are considered non-renewable and fossil fuels are being consumed rapidly in recent years. With this scare resources depleting, different sources ...

One of the common songs “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” mainly refer to Prophet Elijah ascending to heavens from the banks of river Jordan. Centuries later, John used the same river to baptize different individuals including our Christ. During all these golden ages, the leaders that were ordained by God and respected by the people were mainly kings and pronounced prophets. During this era, the prophets had the power to declare God’s judgment, and determine the possibility of change in a given circumstances. In this paper, a clear review of the variation on the conduct and intended message of these ancient ...

Overall the film King Corn was really interesting; it was fascinating to see the entire process of growing corn, but also to see that corn is actually everywhere in our diet. Besides eating corn in its natural form, corn is added to everyday foods in the form of high fructose corn syrup; corn is also used to feed our cattle that we eventually eat.

Corn is used to feed our cattle because when the cattle graze on grass it takes much longer for them to reach the weight required to reach market rate. This is because if they were ...

Introduction

Capsular polysaccharides are of high molecular mass and low molecular weight cell-surface polysaccharides of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Wang et al. 2000). They facilitate evading the immune system; therefore, the production and extraction of this layer is a prospective therapeutic target (rcsb.org). In the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae, strain TIGR4 the Cps4B is tyrosine protein phosphatase CpsB. The phosphatases have capability to dephosphorylate their analogous autokinases, instead of their similar functionality equivalence; they don’t demonstrate sequence homology. This capsule or CPS act as an interface border between a microbe and its environment that presents an expansive biological and clinical significance. ...

Visit the Virtual Caves website: http://www.goodearthgraphics.com/virtcave/index.html. Briefly describe and provide an example of Solutional caves, Sea caves, Erosional caves, and Lava tube caves.
Solutional Caves: Solutional caves are formed by chemical reaction between the groundwater and the rock bedrock consisting of limestone. Ground water contains dissolved carbon dioxide which is a weak solution of carbonic acid and is capable of dissolving the rock slowly. This makes the passage of water wider and takes the shape of the cave. The most common example of solutional caves is flowstone. Flowstone is mostly composed of calcite and becomes rounder as it tends ...

Simply stated, an optical illusion is something that fools an individual’s mind and eyes into perceiving reality falsely. Optical illusions can be found everywhere in photographs, drawings, unusual solid objects, holograms, as well as natural phenomena such as mirage. I have had an experience with a number of optical illusions which include mirages, holograms and a drawing known as the Hermann Grid Illusion.

When taking a walk along the road on a very hot sunny day, one will tend to see a puddle of water at a distance. However, this is not water to quench thirst but rather an optical illusion known as mirage. ...

The process of exploiting the environment by humans leads to environmental problems. Leon (2012) says that humans treat rivers as sewers by polluting the rivers and disrupting the ecosystem. The process of de-forestation decreases the number of plants that absorb carbon dioxide translating to enormous amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Leon (2012) cites the coal mining industry in pursuit of economic development degrade the environment.

The state of current technology necessitated by the modern culture perpetrates activities that deteriorate the quality of the environment (Leon, 2012).The Biosphere II experiment demonstrates that the atmosphere does not have a ...

A multinational oil company is faced with the dilemma of either investing in a new oil rig which is currently open for bidding, or refurbishing its existing oil rigs. For the company to make the right decision, it must first start by computing the Expected Value of each of the available options. According to Hardman (2013, pg. 56), the Expected Value of a given variable is defined as the weighted-probability average of its possible outcomes. This definition implies that the Expected Value of a variable is the total product of the variable and the given probability of a specified outcome taking place at a ...

Analysis of human failure contribution to process risk – The Case of Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico

Abstract

The Gulf of Mexico is considered to have accounted for roughly 90% of the complete offshore drilling in the United States of America in terms of the oil volume that is extracted. This number can be further equated to approximately one-third of the total production of oil in the United States of America. There are more than 50, 000 wells that have been drilled here since the year 1947 and of these 4,000 wells were dug deeper than 1, 000 ft. of water. As of date, more or less 80% of the total offshore drilling happens at a ...

• Mesopotamia

• Indus River Valley

• Yellow River Valley

• Egypt

• Andean civilizations

As referred above, the development of Indus Valley civilisation took place at the time when other important early civilisations like Egyptian and Mesopotamian were fostering. The single akin significant environmental or physical geographic factor that is evident in the progression is the role of the aquatic presence around.

The human society arouses in the vicinity of Indus Valley From 3500 to 2600 BC. In this era, the watercourse supplemented human race with options of food and shelter that eventually became the motivation for long ...

The Gospels present Jesus as the One who died to save sinners. The main goal was to make people trust Him. Even though the central subject is the same, they differ somehow in theme. The single theme is the view of Jesus as a miracle worker. There only two nature miracles in Mark's gospel are Mark 4:35-41 when Jesus calmed the storms and Mark 6:45-56 when He walked on water. Mark shows that Jesus is a sea conqueror and is the one who makes sure there are order and peace.

Jesus did many wonders, portraying his rule over spirits and ...

Flood Zones

- Water is essential for all living beings in life. Water is used for industrial purposes and it also maintains forests.

- According to the FEMA website, a 100 year flood is defined as the term "100-year flood" is misleading. It is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. Rather, it is the flood elevation that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year.” This means the probability of 1 % of rain occurring in any given year.

- The two different colours indicate the countries with their flood data available and the countries which ...

Tears streamed down my face and I looked at her mother seated beside me. Her face was like stone and she sat fixedly staring at the white casket covered with white and yellow jasmines. Claudia loved those and it was only a week ago that I had sent her a bouquet. I was making up for taking so long to go down to see her. We were 30 miles apart and sometimes work kept me from driving down to see her most weekends. Now here I am sitting there in this small church wondering and wanting to know what really happened. ...

Shoring

A shoring system is necessary so as to ensure safety for the workers. The basement construction process will involve excavation near the neighboring building. The neighboring building is delicate because it was constructed long before the Australian standards of footing were set up. If shoring is not done, the workers will be at danger of a collapsing building. Shoring will help to offer support to the building so that it does not collapse in the process of constructing the basement. Shoring will also help in speeding up the excavation process. Secant pile walls and sheet piling systems are two good ...

1. What did Piaget mean when he said that the preoperational child "lacked conservation"?

Piaget meant that a child does not understand that the properties of an object remain constant even though the physical appearance may have changed. For example, 1L of water in a glass of a diameter of 5cm is equal to 1L of water in a glass whose diameter is 10cm even though they may have seen it being poured out of the same container into the glasses. A child lacks operations to manipulate the idea that the water’s properties are conserved and the amount is the same. Rather, he/ she will see that the water which rises higher in the glass is ...

DQ 1. The Circular Flow in Economics

It is defined as the flow of payment in the economy in a circular motion where the end point goes back to the starting point in an infinite cycle. It can be demonstrated in several ways even with nature. Water cycle for instance works the same way. The water on land evaporates and brought up to the atmosphere forming clouds. As soon as the cloud gets heavy, the water vapor condenses and falls back to land in a form of either water or snow and the same cycle repeats throughout. In economics, the same cycle is composed of three market inputs ...

Introduction

Interdisciplinary perspective is an approach that entails a comprehensive analysis of more than one social or economic discipline. The involved parties exercise the virtues of impartiality by connecting the influence of one discipline to the other. In most cases, interdisciplinary approach are associated with education disciplines where two or more subjects are interlinked to assess how they impact a certain aspect of life. Interdisciplinary approach facilitates the naivety of crossing of the boundaries with an objective to resolve contention between two or more social aspects.

The speaker highlighted the theme of the discussion on system boundaries and the borders that exist ...

As our society expands, the amount of artificial light produced by us increases, which affects many endangered flora and fauna(Longcore & Rich, 2004). Very few studies document the effects of light pollution on insect taxa. Therefore, we need a number of baseline studies to understand the implications of light pollution on insects and plants. Artificial lighting at our homes, shops and other establishments may jeopardize the ecology of several insect species. In this experiment, I want to use moths as a bio indicator for the effects of light pollution. To find out which type of lighting attracts moths most, the ...

Consumption of intoxicating alcohol is sinful in Christianity. In this regard, it is important to note that although wine has been mentioned severally in the bible, it is not the intoxicated one. It is non-alcoholic (grape juice), which cannot make somebody to be drunk. For instance, in the Galilee case where Jesus changed water into wine, it is believed that the drink was commonly used as part of the meal and could not cause drunkenness. In fact, during the marriage feast nobody got drunk to result in weird scenes, as experienced in common drinking points (John 2:1-10). Moreover, in ...

Proper nutrition and diet is very difficult to attain. I listed down my goals in the last few weeks. My first goal was to lower the intake of fast food from three times a week to totally none at all. I tried lessening the amount from three times to two times in the first week. I also tried to make my own snacks so that there would be fewer temptations to resort to fast food. The following week, I lowered my intake to one per week of fast food. I tried my best to resort to healthier options. In the ...

What is a Rain Screen?

The rain screen is an exterior defensive coating that sits away from a structure’s outside wall's weather contrary barrier, creating an air crater directly behind the covering that helps to protect the buildings important weather contrary barrier, by providing a moisture management instrument allowing air intrusive through to vaporize any lingering moisture between the structure’s walls.

It is an attempt to understand the architectural and design structure concerning the background check and application of vital principles used in back ventilation and pressure equalized rain screen principles. These systems provide drainable compartmentalization to limit water penetrating during heavy rains ...

The earth is considered to be a home for a billion people along with animals and another organism. A single person would take twenty thousand breaths a day.

But is the environment as clean and safe today? The growing population is considered to have direct impacts on the environment. Environmental pollution has increased 10-fold over the past decade. The grieving situation of planet earth is to be ...

Abstract

Cell membranes act as hindrances to most, not all, molecules. Advancement of a cell layer that could permit a few materials to pass while obliging the movement of different molecules was a significant venture in the evolution of the unit. Unit membranes are differentially (or semi-) penetrable obstructions dividing the internal cell environment from the external cell (or) nature's domain.

Water potential is the inclination of water to move from a zone of higher focus to one of easier fixation. Energy exists in two structures: potential and kinetic. Water molecules move consistent with contrasts in potential energy between where they are and ...

Scenario question Part 1

Following an intentional biological attack, many different disciplines and agencies would become involved in the investigation. In a case which local water supply has been determined to have been intentionally contaminated with a disease agent, what disciplines/agencies (public health and otherwise) do you think would be involved in the investigation, and what might their roles be? Why would epidemiology be important?

The operative concept in this scenario is intentional. The established evidence is one highly suggestive of a terrorist attack. Therefore, besides public health intervention the department of homeland security officials must intervene for safety of citizens. Next human resource should be ...

In the event of a terrorist attack on our water supply, it is vital that we have an emergency plan for getting water given the importance of water in the town. Our water supply is a more likely target for the terrorists given the fact that all members of our town depend on that same water. The following plan would therefore be an ideal plan to enable Centervale town to manage and deal with such a disaster.
First it would be prudent to notify all members of the town of the water poisoning immediately and make sure use of the water ...

Minerals are classified by their chemical composition as Silicates, Phosphorites, carbonates, and halides are all major mineral groups.

Silicates contain silicon (Si) and oxygen (O), the two most abundant elements in the earth and comprise the majority of Earth's crust. They have a chemical formula SiO2. Common silicate minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, mica and quartz.

Phosphorites are sedimentary rocks of biochemical origin and are rich in phosphate with chemical formula PO4. They are mostly used as chemical fertilizers. They are also used as food preservatives, anti-corrosion agent and also in the field of metallurgy. Limestone and mudstone are common phosphate bearing rocks.Carbonates are the minerals mostly found in the Earth’s near surface crust. They have ...

In 1968, the research vessel Glomar Challenger ventured on a year-long scientific expedition, between South America and Africa and drilled core samples at specific locations assigned to it. When tested, these samples provided the conclusion that proved the seafloor spreading hypothesis to be true. The JOIDES Resolution is a deep-sea drilling ship of the 1990s. This ship is capable of carrying more than 9,000 m of drill pipe. It is also known for its precise positioning and deeper drilling than the Glomar Challenger.

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique mainly used for extraction of oil and gas through pumping a pressured liquid to fracture rocks (Spellman, 110). The pressurized liquid is normally a mixture of water, proppant (for instance sand), and chemicals (Tiemann and Vann, 1). Due to its efficiency, especially in low permeability areas, the technique is widely used. The primary legal issue arising out of the use of the technique is the lack of or limited regulation of the technique. For a long period, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had no authority over hydraulic fracturing.

The lack of legal regulation means that there a little ...

The genetically modified foods are created to purpose the developing an upper hand to the consumer or producer of these products. Such significance can be a brand new product, which has better overall benefits and can be sold a cheaper price compared to its competitors. According to Tutelyan(2013), the initial objective for the food recombination was to promote crop production, for instance modifying a plant to be disease resistant or age slower. Statistic has it that 40% of world’s plant is lost annually to fungal diseases, spoilage, and insects. By genetically modifying crops to be less vulnerable to these factors, ...

The main component of a healthy and balanced diet is in the parity of consumed nutrients and subsequent use of energy with the background of individual specifics and genetically predispositions (Grosvenor and Smolin, 2012, p.35).

Although the general guide is that a healthy diet is on balance of all food types, placing the main emphasis on vegetables, fruits, and only then on grains and proteins; but this also means that it is not enough simply to have a balance of fruits, grains, vegetables and proteins in equal measures, the assessment of individual necessity of particular nutrients is crucial for a healthy diet (Grosvenor ...
