The Optimization Of Process Variables

Of the all the oil fields throughout Canada, 25% are offshore locations in Newfoundland. 8% comes from either BC or Ontario and 67% of all onshore oil fields are in Alberta, which is defined by the term “Oil Country”. From these locations, pipelines are used to transport liquid oil to refineries. It is at these refineries the process of being turned into gasoline, diesel, and petroleum takes place. After this process, petroleum products are sent to distribution centres.

When a new oil field begins its production process, nature takes its course and does most of the work. The natural pressures from the reservoir force the oil into production

The Chrysler Group LLC initial public offering (IPO) was initiated by a trust known as the United Auto Workers (UAW) Retiree Medical Benefits Trust to cover medical benefits for retired workers who owned 41.5% of the company. The trust was created in 2007 as a way of reducing Chrysler's financial liability of paying existing workers and former employees’ health care costs and retirements. Initially, the trust was not supposed to have a large share of its assets in the form of stock, but with Chrysler running out of cash the following year, and falling into bankruptcy in 2009, the only asset it could offer was its own stock.

The problem COSTA is dealing with is when they are extracting bitumen (viscous form of oil) they need to use high-temperature steam to melt the bitumen in the reservoir, the steam is then cooled

horizontal pipe so the oil can be extracted at one time after all sections have been fractured and

Petrol is obtained, not only by fractional distillation of crude oil, but also by cracking of hydrocarbons from heavy fractions.

The process of making synthetic crude oil requires an enormous amount of water, especially in the separation process. Each barrel of oil requires two tons of oil sands and up to five barrels of hot water. Water is also needed along with electricity to convert it steam. The steam is pushed by steam injections making bitumen less viscous. It is quite evident that oil sands are not practical in terms of its process. Also three-quarters of the bitumen can be recovered from the sands, leaving behind 25% as waste. With the technology in our present society, oil sands are not entirely practical in terms of efficiency; however, in the future, this may change. To reflect, there are many disadvantages associated with oil sands, especially in the way it is processed.

Even though the many different modes of transportation are crucial for survival, what happens behind the scenes is the most important attribute in keeping millions of vehicles and all of the world’s population running smoothly everyday, all day. This priceless and valuable commodity is what is commonly referred to as crude oil, and after several steps of refining, useable petroleum products emerge. (How Stuff Works, 2016)

A petroleum system is a system that includes a pod of some active source rock with their very nature genetically related to build up and accumulation of oil and gas. Petroleum system includes geological elements, as well as the processes, which are crucial and essential for the existence of oil and gas accumulation. Petroleum is a compound that is made up of high concentrations of biological and thermal hydrocarbon gaseous components that are contained in conventional reservoirs, tight reservoirs, fractured shale, gas hydrates, as well as coal. It also includes high concentrations of condensates, crude oils, and natural bitumen in the reservoirs, and generally in carbonate and siliciclastic rocks. In this view, we may describe a system as an interdependence of elements as well as processes, which form the very functional unit that gives rise to the hydrocarbon accumulations (Mancini, Parcell, Puckett, & Benson, 2003).

My Popo works at a refinery in Three Rivers. He has told me that they use different types of chemical separators and different kind of pollution monitors. The pollution monitors monitor the level of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide they release into the atmosphere. The different types of chemical separators they use help to distribute the oil into three different types: diesel, kerosene, or crude oil.

Starry Night is post-impressionist oil painting from 1889 by Vincent van Gogh who was at the time in a mental asylum ("Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh"). The painting’s background is taken up the overwhelming night sky. Eleven yellow fiery stars resembling huge fireballs irradiate the piece. At the top right-hand corner is a crescent moon radiating a bright orange light, brighter than the other stars. The houses are inconspicuously painted at the bottom, blending harmoniously with the forests and mountains. The painting gives an illusion of constant motion due to the thick, heavy and rhythmic brush strokes ("Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh").

Using supercritical 'brine', such as the water found with typical oil reservoirs or seawater (14) is the key difference and what makes this unique. Based on the cited experimental work, heavy crude can be 'hydrocracked' more efficiently to make a medium to lighter crude in a relatively simple process. It has been demonstrated that in one step, sulfur is converted to H2S for easy separation, metals can be removed (25) and the heavy organic molecules are 'hydrocracked' to shorter chain compounds with less coking than obtained with conventional coking and hydrocracking methods.

Introduction Most of the materials that we use every day are mixtures. Learning about separating mixtures are important since it allows us to separate unpolluted substances. A mixture can be one of two, either homogeneous or heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are usually uniform while heterogeneous mixtures aren’t. An example of a homogeneous mixture would be salt water because when fully dissolved, the appearance is uniform.
