Introduction and Background In the oil and gas industry, fracking is a major current issue that engineers are dealing with for the current state of the United states. Hydraulic fracking, or "fracking" is the process of drilling a well to the depth in the earth where shale rock is located. Once the drill bit reaches this specific depth, the drilling alters its path to a horizontal track into the shale rock in order to span the entire reservoir. Next, fracking fluid, consisting of sand, liquid chemicals

Graph 1 Description: This graph is identical to experiment 1 graph 1 as it compares the experimental and theoretical molar heats of combustion. Being the same concept this graph shows how the experimental molar heat of combustion is a scale less than the theoretical molar heat of combustion. The significance behind the scale of this graph where the experimental is lower that the theoretical, is how there is a pattern for which every fuel follows the same trend. Also it shows the average heats of

Oil wells and diggers can be found all over the world, some more than others. The amount of these oil machines depends on how much oil a place has, the size of the place, and other devices or items that require a lot or a little bit of oil needed. Some facts and locations of oil are that oil can be found in different places worldwide, there are maps and charts determining which country produces the most oil, and the many different types of oil usages. Oil can be found near and far in places from

There is a revolutionary new method for natural gas extraction that was made in the 1950’s called fracking. This method has made thousands of people and companies rich. This method fracking has multiple components that go into its use that allow the operations to go on smoothly. One of these is the fracking fluid made from multiple possible dangerous, chemicals these chemicals are one of the reasons that fracking has the potential to be been banned in multiple countries. There are a few questions

What Is Flakka? Flakka is a synthetic drug that is very similar to cocaine. It is sometimes called gravel because it resembles aquarium gravel. Flakka has a chemical that is very similar to MDPV, which is an ingredient that is found in bath salts. Flakka can be injected, snorted or smoked. It causes users to experience an intense euphoric feeling. Users experience an increase in energy and heightened awareness after using Flakka. The high that a person experiences after using Flakka can last for

There has been a recent push to develop unconventional ways to obtain fossil fuels, particularly oil and gas in the United States and as well as over seas. Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” has come into play recently and there is much controversy over the developed methods of obtaining oil and gas. Supporters for fracking have claimed that the new technology will spark an economic growth with jobs, as well as an alternative energy source, but there are also risks that go into fracking, which citizens

Oil Josh Tickell producer and writer of a compelling discussion of how our world is depending on the production and use of oil. Tickells documentry "Fuel" shows a great insight to how guilty we are for the over use of this commodity. He explains through political power oil has been a catalyst for making the wealthy, wealthier. In trhe documenrty he depicts the devistation that the oil indusrty has created globally. Statistically oil companies bring in 289 billion dollars in a fiscal year. A gallon

Introduction What separates natural gas from other fuel types is that it can be used in power generation, industrial, commercial, transportation and residential while producing approximately half of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than its largest competitor coal. An abundant amount of natural gas available within the borders of the United States opens many opportunities including the chance become more energy independent. As natural gas becomes further available in the world technology will

According to the U.S. Department of Energy there are various methods of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) which give oil producers the potential to produce 30 to 60 percent (or more) of a reservoir’s original oil. There are three commercially successful categories of EOR which include thermal recovery, gas injection and chemical injection. There are pros and cons to each category of EOR and each has a different associated environmental impact and risk. Additionally, each method has different potential

If the degree of unsaturation = 2, there are a few possibilities i.e. (i) presence of one triple bond, (ii) two rings, (iii) two double bonds or (iv) one ring and one double bond. If the degree of unsaturation = 3, various combinations involving rings and / or double bonds are possible. If the degree of unsaturation = 4, it could indicate the presence of a benzene ring. If the degree of unsaturation > 4, it could indicate the presence of a benzene ring and a ring / double bond. (Consider also
