Geothermal power plants are used in order to generate electricity by the use of geothermal energy (the Earth's internal thermal energy).
Its a large intra-cratonic basin, covering portions of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.
Ghawar is the largest conventional oil field in the world, and core to the oil production strategy of Saudi Arabia, but it is also well past its peak production phase.
Rakushechnoye, now known as the Grayfer offshore field, is Lukoil's 3rd field in Caspian Sea.
Its any energy type that is generated from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind or water
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases
HTR refers to reserves trapped between layers of rock which cannot be accessed using conventional, vertical drilling. It requires techniques including drilling horizontal wells and fracking, similar to methods used to extract shale gas and shale oil.
Heavy oil is a form of unconventional oil that is thick and highly viscous, and therefore does not flow to production wells under normal reservoir conditions.
The 2nd lightest element (only hydrogen is lighter), helium is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that becomes liquid at −268.9 °C.
The Henry Hub pipeline is the pricing point for natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Honigmann process (shaft-borring) is a continental method of shaft sinking through sand that is water bearing.
Its a high-angled well which is built to increase the performance of the reservoir
The hot-bulb engine is a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignites by coming in contact with a red-hot metal surface inside a bulb, followed by the introduction of air (oxygen) compressed into the hot-bulb chamber by the rising piston.
Since 2014, hydraulically fractured horizontal wells have accounted for the majority of new oil and natural gas wells developed in the United States
Its an organic compound consisting of only hydrogen and carbon atoms
Its a catalytic cracking process assisted by the presence of an elevated partial pressure of hydrogen.
Hydrogen its the 1st element on the periodic table of elements, and is the most abundant element in the universe: it makes up 75% of the total mass of all of the elements in the universe.
The International Maritime Organization's objectives can be best summed up by its slogan — Safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans
There are 2 different methods of producing oil from oil sands: open-pit mining and in situ
