1. Introduction :
We are facing grave dangers due to the depletion of fossil fuels, and hence we are trying to look for alternate sources of energy.
After doing a brief study of major forms of energy both renewable and non renewable- namely solar energy, tidal energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, biofuels, hydrogen energy, fossil fuels etc I realised that fossil fuels i.e coal, oil and natural gas will be meeting our major energy requirements for the next 50 years or so. And hence we need to optimise the oil we get from a reservoir to the maximum for which we use
