Oil and gas formation

Coal, Oil and Natural Gas are fossil fuels

fossil fuels contain hydrocarbons with lots of bonds- more bonds to break = more energy

Interactive Notebook Title: Carbon Cycle Date: Jan 23 Fold and glue in Carbon cycle

Add to the Carbon Cycle notes:

Energy = The ability to do work Fuel = a substance which can be used to provide energy

Finding the oil3D seismic imaging is like an ultrasound

Drill to the oil, pump it out Primary oil recovery: oil flows into well because of gravity and pressure.

Spindletop – Beaumont 1903

Secondary recovery: hydrocarbons must be forced out by water (or gases like CO2) to maintain pressure in the system

Injection well Production

well

Horsehead pump

Tertiary recovery – a base like soap is added to water to move the last hydrocarbons

Base added

The current oil Boom!2005 – Fracking technology makes more reserves economically

viable2011 – current boom explodes with frackingUS crude output expected to crest around 9.5 million barrels per

day in 2016, then begin to decline in 2020. (7.5 million barrels/day projected through 2040)

Tradeoffs!

Quick check – put the following steps in order!

A. Shale rock fractures releasing petrochemicals B. Borehole drilled vertically past water table C. Natural gas and petroleum rises through well back to surface and is collected in tanks.

D. Propants keep fractures open and gas flowing E. Fracking fluids sent down well under pressure F. Horizontal drilling through shale layer

Check it! B, F, E, A, D, C

Purpose: to separate crude oil into different products based on length of hydrocarbon chains!

These must be on your flow map!
