The paper describes the role of 3D seismic for oil characterization and exploration. In recent years Luff Exploration Co. has learned that modern processing techniques can extract significantly greater information than was possible when much of the 2D seismic data were recorded in the area. New processing techniques that can...
This paper indicates, at best, a low sensitivity of the complex electrical resistivity method to organic contamination in rocks and soils. This reduces the short-term prospects of using complex resistivity as an effective technique to directly detect organic contamination. However, as noise suppression techniques improve and further understanding of electrical...
Advanced framing refers to a variety of framing techniques designed to reduce the amount of lumber used and waste generated in the construction of a wood-framed house. Advanced framing techniques, sometimes called Optimum Value Engineering OVE, have been researched extensively and proven effective. However, some techniques may not be allowed...

Acumentrics Corp. has received Phase II funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop optimized manufacturing techniques and to build pre-commercial prototypes of a hybrid ceramic-metallic heat exchanger for solid oxide fuel cells SOFCs. Funding follows Phase I design and testing work that combined high-temperature ceramics and low-temperature, lower-cost...
Speaking at an energy training workshop Wednesday for federal agencies, U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman stressed his department's commitment to promoting energy efficiency. Bodman, who delivered the closing remarks for the four-day GovEnergy conference held here, said his department is particularly interested in the potential for...
A three-year research project mostly funded by the U.S. Department of Energy investigated and identified optimum methods to produce North Slope viscous oil, techniques that could assist North Slope producers. The $750,000 project conducted by the University of Houston concluded in late 2004 included...
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology laboratory NETL has teamed up with West Virginia University, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University to investigate the possibility of tapping technology currently used to prevent invocation in medical implants to help combat global warming. The research will look...
Byline: Jim Johnson Los Angeles is adding incentives for building projects using green construction techniques. The city Department of Water and Power will now give priority treatment for the water and electrical connection process for buildings that...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have developed an advanced concept in nanoscale catalyst engineering--a combination of experiments and simulations that will bring polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for hydrogen-powered vehicles closer to massive commercialization. The results of their findings identify...
Dr. Raymond J. Fonck University of Wisconsin has been named to head the U. S. Department of Energy's Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, effective March 1, Professor Fonck is an experimental physicist with research interests in plasma and fusion science, atomic processes in...

Five scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory were named fellows of the American Physical Society. Tim Hallman was recognized for his leadership of the STAR experiment at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Chi-Chang Kao was recognized for his contributions to...
Using the right water-handling techniques can determine economics and recoverable volumes of coalbed methane in the Powder River Basin. How much more coalbed methane CBM can economically he recovered from the Powder River Basin, and how will the environmentally sensitive issue of water disposal he handled? The answers to those...
Byline: SARAH A. KLEIN Energy use is determined by what goes on inside a building, not outside. Computer equipment and lighting fixtures, for example, not only sap electricity-accounting for 48% of electrical use in commercial buildings, according to the U.S. Department of Energy-but can...
The U.S. Department of Energy DOE plans two cost-shared research projects that may eventually improve tight-gas recovery techniques in the U.S. The University of Texas at Austin is designing a process for "energized" frac jobs in tight-gas sands. As tight-gas sand basins mature, additional wells are often drilled into the...
