More percentage of new productions in oil industry is from unconventional oil and gas such as oil shale, tar sand, laminated sand, tight oil (siltstone), tight gas, gas hydrate, and igneous rock, because the conventional oil and gas can no longer meet the need of the world. Researchers in response pay more attentions to the unconventional resources. Formation properties such as total organic ca...

The Turaszówka crude oil field is situated within the borders of Krosno town. The oil resources are nearly depleted. Many of the boreholes have already been liquidated. Currently, only 22 boreholes are being exploited. Eight of them are watered and exploiting oil along with the reservoir water. The boreholes were submitted for producing the geothermal energy, because of their location. They are...

The Hubbert model of crude oil production can describe several regional cases, but it is not yet generally accepted as being of validi for all cases, especially for the worldwide case of oil extraction. The present paper shows that the model is of general validity to describe cases in which a resource is depleted faster than it can be replaced, as in the case of biological resources. In some ca...

SE Asian corporations – Golden Agri-Resources, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, Sime Darby, Olam International, Wilmar International, and Felda Global Ventures – are seeking to expand their palm oil business in West and Central Africa. Palm oil has been identified as a driver of both tropical deforestation and climate change, and this expansion also often has financial risks due to concerns about negligenc...

As in evaluation of the nutritive value of food articles, Iranian nutritionist used to use the nutritional tables from scientific resources other than the native ones, such differences could be regarded as source of error when the homemade fish oil products are used as a supplement of Vitamin D3 in the recommended diets; however, to clearly address the issue, more study should be conducted on t...

Expansion of oil sands development results not only in the release of greenhouse gas emissions, but also impacts land and water resources. Though less discussed internationally due to to their inherently local nature, land and water impacts can be severe. Research in key areas is needed to manage oil sands operations effectively; including improved monitoring of ground and surface water quality...

We have demonstrated an improved synthesis of a cyclic carbonate of soybean oil (CSO) utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as the solvent. Because the mutual solubility of supercritical CO2 and soybean oil is significantly higher than that of gaseous CO2 and soybean oil, our method synthesizes the material in y1/3 of the reaction time reported in the literature. We have also demonstrate...

morphometric characteristics of anticlines can play an important role in the exploration of oil resources. the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of geomorphology on the exploration of oil resources in oil-rich bankol and oil-less danehkhoshk anticlines by means of geomorphological indices. to achieve the purpose of this study, topographic maps at a scale of 1:50000 and geologic...
