Hydrocarbon

Post World War II plastic started to become a way of life. Early plastics were made from cellulose and also known as "green plastics" but most of today's plastics are made of hydrocarbon molecules that is used from the refining of oil and natural gas. Depending on how the plastic is made will decided wheter it's used for something like sandwich wrap or making some sort of plastic handle on a tool. In the 19th century plastic prototypes really started to come about but plastics wouldnt't explode

necessary information for reservoir pay zones. The foundation for hydrocarbons is based off of the organic theory which states that the hydrocarbons formed through an anaerobic environment (lacking oxygen) over time with high pressures and relatively low temperatures (300°F - 392°F) with carbon based materials such as algae. The basis for algae is the fact that the ocean contained around 95% of plankton in the ocean and reservoirs for hydrocarbons are found in sediments made up of

Concerning the two main oil pay zones, L-II limestone and L-III limestone, there is a shale of 300 m between them, which separates these zones. Moreover, as already mentioned, the L-III reservoir is the most prolific in terms of aggregation of hydrocarbons in the Bombay High field. The L-III reservoir can be divided to layers that contained limestones and shale and also keeps a percentage of approximately 95 % of the oil reserve. The East-West trending shale channel in the L-III reservoir caused

In the article, On the Limitation of the Term ‘Petroleum Products’ in the Determination of the Oil Pollution of Bottom Sediments (2017), Z.A Temerdashev (also this article’s corresponding author), L.F. Pavlenko, I.G. Korpakova, and G.V. Skrypnik et al. investigate the overuse of the term ‘petroleum products’ upon measuring levels of exposure to toxins, carcinogens, and mutagens in bottom sediments of the Sea of Azov & the Black Sea, as well as identify a more effective way of studying this concept

the mines underground and the gas created could result in the projection and rapid release of gases (Jian and Cheng, 2014). Coal-Bed Methane and Natural Gas. Coal-bed methane is naturally occurring methane with some amounts of hydrocarbon gas as well as non-hydrocarbon gas that is contained in coal seams resulting from chemical

Due to the inadequate properties of current fuels, it is vital for the development of alternate fuel, in order to sustain the transportation infrastructure. The needs of the society are increasing due to population growth and lifestyle factors. Petrol isn’t sustainable as it isn’t renewable and causes damage to the environment. Biobutanol may be an ideal alternative due to its qualities of renewability, lower pollutant emissions and easy adaptability. Chemical Process Butanol used to be produced

It has been referred to as black gold because it is a commodity that is highly sought after. It can be construed that oil is almost as valuable as water. It is used in, literally, every facet of our lives. “Petroleum products include transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and the feedstocks used to make chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials found in nearly everything we use today” (EIA). Legislators in Washington would object, but

1. Introduction Over current years, the issue of the world’s energy sources has come to the fore. Coal and oil, the main two sources of energy, are being depleted at an alarming rate which is resulting in nations and multinational corporations investigating alternative sources of energy. These alternative energy sources assist in alleviating problems associated with the burning of these abovementioned fossil fuels. The focus is slowly being shifted onto ‘clean’, renewable forms of energy. Natural

harnessing of oil, but also many modern economic problems that are caused by this need for oil from the Middle East. What exactly is oil? Pure extracted oil is known as crude oil, which is a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. The crude oil is then processed through the breaking of those hydrocarbon particles into
