CHEM 1001 Chapter : Chapter 05 Chemical Accounting
Document Summary
Petroleum engineer: production (getting oil out of the ground) When oil prices are high, there are lots of jobs. 0. 02-2mm size of animal" (plankton, algae, microscopic animals) 2-4km deep: enough heat for chemical reactions to occur. 90-160 degrees: oil/gas 250 degrees: gas graphite (c: migration. Reservoir rock contains oil/gas that can flow through the rock. Sealrock: impermeable (shale, salt, unfractured limestone: fault trap, anticline trap, salt dome trap, stratigraphic trap. Seismic-reflection profile: make seismic waves/vibrations that bounce off each layer and is recorded. Hydrofracturing: fracking pump down high-pressure water to explode open new cracks/fractures. H2o + sand + chemicals: refine oil. Unconventional (expensive) fossil fuels: natural gas: burns more cleanly (co2 + h2o) Transportation from source is expensive transported at high pressure. Mine it heat it get oil. 2 tons of sand to make 1 barrel of oil: oil shale. Heat rock to 500 degrees c to extract oil. C + organic c + quartz + clay.
