Twelve Winning Companies Receive Top Honors at Global Petroleum Event HOUSTON -- World Oil[R] magazine announced the twelve winners of the 2007 World Oil Awards at the sixth annual black-tie gala dinner last night in Houston, Texas. The event, attended by close to 350 industry...
We've all been schooled in the so-called Cambrian Explosion, made famous when it was restricted to the Burgess Shale of British Columbia. If you've kept up, you've probably been aware of the debate as to whether the "explosion" part is a bit of a misnomer. However, the...
Lower Tertiary play. The US MMS released a summary of Lower Tertiary discoveries in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Lower Tertiary formations were deposited from about 65 million to about 35 to 23 million years ago. These discoveries vary in depth from 15,000 ft...
The UK patent dispute between emgs and OHM is back on again. A press release from emgs in early October said that "'Electromagnetic Geoservices AS emgs has launched proceedings in the High Court in London against Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping plc OHM for the infringement of one of...
The world seems preoccupied with future energy sources, rightfully so. But the ability to store and transport energy is easily as important, sometimes more so, than the energy itself. Car engines are inefficient, because they must throttle up and down. If they operated under a...
A new direction in multiphase flow--early separation. While researching multiphase devices and ways to handle multiphase flow, I came across an interesting patent for an artificial lift system that combines an electrical submersible pump ESP and a jet pump JP in the same production string. The system...
Eleven Winning Companies Receive Top Honors at Global Petroleum Event HOUSTON -- World Oil[R] magazine announced the eleven winners of the 2006 World Oil Awards at the fifth annual black-tie gala dinner last night in Houston, Texas. The event, attended by close to 350 industry...
On a lighter-oil note, carbon dioxide flooding is beginning to take on wider application. Use of C[O.sub.2] for enhanced oil recovery has been limited to areas where the gas was readily available, predominantly West Texas. Now, other sources of the gas are being considered. The...
Canada's heavy oil sands are producing and encouraging the industry to experiment with new ways to get more oil. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage SAGD is the common production technology applied, but others are under development or in use. However, there are some problems. SAGD uses...
Only 0.8 Mya? You may have heard the newest finding last month that the present period of global warming has the highest C[O.sub.2] levels in at least the past 800,000 years. Air trapped in the oldest ice cores shows that C[O.sub.2] levels change with the climate, but...
Real 3D. Just in case you missed this several months ago I know that I did, there's been a breakthrough in the ability to solve the Helmholtz equation, a true 3D solution to wave propagation. Only recently have computers been powerful enough to solve this equation, and...
Microbial mystery. The non-biological origin of simple hydrocarbon gases is well accepted. Vast amounts of methane and ethane on Saturn's moon, Titan, are believed to have formed in the upper atmosphere. But there is a connection to surface geology. Ponds and lakes although not oceans seem highly...
Marine mammals: more protected than humans? The latest volley in what is now a battle of the absurd comes from the US National Marine Fisheries Service NMFS. Despite the finding two years ago by MMS, that there was "no significant impact," NMFS has proceeded to try to...
A question of arrogance. Global warming is to writers as Bill Clinton was to late-night comedians. Here's my take on how it works. On the mythical Anti-Earth--that's the planet that orbits opposite Earth on the other side of the Sun, so it can never be...
Cogito ergo, spud. I've noticed that comedians often use the name Kimba to describe a hungry child. I suppose it's the emblematic name for starvation ... It was the aid worker's first gig, feeding the hungry in some far-flung impoverished country. They had just received...
Exactly when did that happen? Explorationists spend a lot of time correlating events. Over the last few decades, our ability to determine geological time frames has become much more refined, because we have better tools, such as the ion microprobe and the refinement of radionuclide parent-daughter relationships....
Bolivia's gas sector nationalization. Almost two centuries after Bolivia proclaimed its independence from Spain, Bolivian President Evo Morales opened a newly elected Constituent Assembly, where the first task is to rewrite the country's constitution. Morales' focus is on empowering the majority indigenous population for the first time....
Stranded methanol/gasoline. While we are on the subject new compounds, another useful compound class is zeolites, which are hydrated alumino-silicates. They have an open molecular structure that allows positive ions to be exchanged for others, making zeolites good catalysts. The molecule's lattice has channels through which small...
