Statement of the Problem
Oil price hike is one of the major problems in the country. To help in the production of oil we must utilize whatever things we have abundantly and use it to lessen if not totally eradicate the problem. This project will try to increase the sources of oil to lower its price and I recommend the use of plant oil like oil from Jackfruit seeds because plant oil is healthier. It answers the following questions
-Can you extract oil from jackfruit seeds?
-Is jackfruit always available in the market?
-How can oil from jackfruit seed extract help people?
-Is this project beneficial to everyone?

The coverage of this investigatory project spans from investigating the possible solutions to oil problems, availability of materials, time that will be consumed while making the project and the actual creation of the product. The scope of my investigation is from how to extract the oil from the seeds of the Jackfruit up to how safe the product is, which took me seven (7) days to finish. Doing this project alone made it very hard for me for oil production is a hard and long process. With all the projects and other school works due almost at the same time, my schedule in this project is limited. But as it is, the project was a success and I was able to get the oil that I need.
Review of Related Literature
Information about my topic is limited. Only a few are available in the internet and some can be seen in the high school library. Others have researched about my topic and results vary on the ripeness of the seeds of the jackfruit. I have come to know that unripe jackfruit seeds produce more quality oil than that of the ripe and overly ripe. Kind of Jackfruit seed Amount and quality of oil
One half kilo of unripe seed 2 tbsp. of transparent oil
One half kilo of ripe seed 1 and a half tbsps. of less transparent oil
One half kilo of over-ripe seed 1 tsp. of unclear
Currently Saudi Arabia is one of the leading producers of oil in the world. However, it is losing its foothold on the market. Many countries, like North America, are increasing their oil production and are looking for ways to become less dependent on foreign oil. The increased competition has caused oil prices to decrease. By producing their own oil, countries not only will increase their revenues, but will also reduce their need to rely on foreign oil. By reducing their need foreign an oil a country does not have to worry that their oil supply will be cut off if they go to war.
Oil is the product that each and every one of us use. It can be used for fuel, heating and even cooking. The most often known for unstable price is crude oil or gasoline. According to the The Economist, The main reason for price shifts of oil is oversupply. The oil production in Saudi rose 10.3 million barrels per day. This increase is the effect of a new method that I being applied to oil extraction. This method is called fracking, fracking is where they drill into tight-rock formations then gradually turning horizontal for several thousand feet more. This results to accommodations to multiple oil wells. This new approved method of oil harvesting has raised the productivity gains and reduced the cost of harvesting oil.
In 2016, the crude oil price movement prices were unpredictable. The OPEC reference basket dropped 10 percent to $43.22 per pound. The ICE Brent and NYMEX WTI both went down by 8.4 percent with ICE Brent at $47.08 per pound and NYMEX WTI at $45.76 per pound. This showed that there were uncertainties in the petroleum market. The future prices were predicted for 2017 that it would move higher. The World’s economic growth predictions was the same at 2.9% for 2016 but increased to 3.1% for 2017. Because of the 3rd quarter of 2016 in Japan and US, the OCED growth went from 1.6% to 1.7%. The demand for oil growth in 2016 has been increasing slightly to 1.24 mb/d. In 2017, the demand will be predicted with a decrease to 1.15 mb/d. OECD will
The U.S. should invest in alternatives to oil, and drill on the United States grounds because it will assist the economy, preserve energy and fix the world’s environmental problems. The supply and demand for oil is always on the rise, and problems are contemplated with the use for oil. Those problems are starting to catch up to the modern world, and something needs to change before the world enters a black out. Experts can predict that there is estimated to be somewhere around 61 years of oil left for us to use at our current rate. The demand for oil is always rising. People in today’s modern society rely so heavily on oil, that they would not know what to expect if it
In order to complete our project on time, we needed to divide and assign the different tasks that make up this project. During several days of the week during the months
Oil production is crucial for humans. Overall, 33 out of 48 countries have now hit a peak in oil production, resulting that oil is going to hit a decline in production. This peak is in countries such as Mexico and Russia, potentially signifying the end of the Industrial revolution. However, oil itself is not running out, just the rich, thick oils, that are high quality. In the near future, the only oil that Earth will have will be thin, and not good enough to use in motor vehicles or for electricity. Additionally, cheap and easy to extract oil will be at a decline, and also oil will be in unaccessible places, or within dangerous areas. Oil production needs to stay at pace with the human demand.
The chapter by Manabu Shimizu focuses on Japan’s efforts in oil exploration and the country’s future goals in the oil industry. Since Japan imports all of its oil, the “challenge is to establish a long-term, sustainable oil supply” (Shimizu 113). Japan has begun to fund Central Asian oil exploration in the hopes of a big oil market being produced for that region. However, Japan does not intend to import oil from Central Asia, rather they want other regions to do import. By doing so, some of the production pressure is lifted from the Middle East, which is where most of Japan’s oil comes from. At the moment, the Middle East is the main producer of oil for many countries with great power over the market, and Japan hopes to create another market
This report will consist of the causes and consequences of the changing price of WTI crude oil and recent trends in the global price of oil. It will also include the effects of the ever-changing price of oil on individuals, business firms, governments and the economy.
The demand for oil has been predicted to increase despite the high price of oil. Sources of the demand for oil continue to increase with time worldwide. As countries industrialize and develop, their oil consumption increases together with their economy. Examples of countries that have their economy growing fastest and steadily are India and China. These two countries have their economy growing and the impact their economic growth has on oil demand is great. Some developed countries are also about to change their habits on oil demand. This will be likely adapted faster if the prices of oil continue to rise. Oil prices are determined by the traders and speculators who control and manipulate the future oil market (Anderson, 1).
The coconut palm tree is, to us Canadians, a symbol of sunny climes, white sand beaches and kicking back; its fruit, the familiar brown, shaggy coconut was once best known for topping sweet cakes or adding sweetness to cookies, but it is the oil of this tropical fruit that has our attention now. Why? It is said to be good, even great, for us - but is it?
The oil age has become an age of inequality. The discovery of oil has brought the wealth of a few people, and has brought misery to most people. Many oil rich countries suffer from the distortion of the economic development, the financial instability, the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, the serious
The countries that are rich in oil now face the problems offluctuating prices as well as depleting their reserves, so maybe one day the oil poor countries’standards of living will surpass the oil dependent countries in Southwest Asia and North
World oil demand is increasing as emerging economies need more energy to increase their living standards. Estimates, shown below, are that by 2030, China and India as emerging markets will import over 70% to 90% of their fossil fuel needs (1) . Coupled to a continued high and growing demand for oil, makes this a robust market for the next 30 years.
Oil is a vital input for the production of a wide range of goods and services, because it is used for transportation in business of all types. For a better understanding on how crude oil prices affects Indian economic growth, it is important to examine and compare the current Indian energy consumption across different energy sources. Figure provides an illustration of the Indian energy consumption (British Petroleum- BP Statistical Review, 2014), measured in million tons’ oil equivalent per year.
