Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished). Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation.

Non-Renewable Energy

Non-renewable energy is energy taken from "finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve", as opposed to renewable energy sources, "which are naturally replenished in a relatively short period of time." Non-Renewable energy sources include, coal, nuclear, petroleum, natural gas, oil sands and oil shale.

 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Arctic Oil & Gas - The last giant oil frontier on Earth is in the arctic. The Arctic Ocean Abyssal floor is increasingly believed to hold vast reserves of untapped oil and natural gas, which is expected to become accessible as new deep-sea drilling and hydrocarbons production technology has become available.

Campos Basin

last updated: 2010-02-25 13:20:00 CST
 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Campos Basin - Brazil - Campos Basin is a petroleum rich area located offshore of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has a total area of 100,000 square kilometers, with 40 fields discovered and operated by Petrobras. Two major oil fields are Marlim and Albacora. Marlim is the largest field, located northeast of the Basin, 110 km offshore in water 650 to 1050 m deep. Marlim produces crude oil over 80,000 cubic meters (500,000 barrels) per day. Total daily production of Campos Basin is 175,000 cubic meters (1.1 million barrels) of oil and 17.36 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. The estimates are that in 2006, Campos Basin will be producing 250,000 cubic meters (1.6 million barrels) of oil per day. The confirmed reserves are 1.1 billion cubic meters (7.21 billion barrels) of oil and condensate, and 101.53 cubic kilometers of natural gas. Exploration seems to be fading; most reserves were found between 1985 and 1997.

Green River Basin

 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Green River Basin - United States and is one of the largest in the world. Oil shale - sedimentary rock that contains a petroleum-like substance called kerogen - is found in great quantities in the western United States, particularly in the Green River Basin spanning portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

Sakhalin Islands

last updated: 2010-02-17 18:00:00 CST
 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Sakhalin Islands - Oil & Gas - Exploration & Production - The 600-mile-long strip of mountains and forests off Russia's Far East is as good a vantage point as any to see the international oil industry's future and the challenges it faces. Big Oil is having to place ever bigger bets to get the reserves it needs. As a result immense new landmarks -- drilling platforms, pipelines, and liquefied natural gas facilities -- are rising through the mists of this forbidding island. An estimated 45 billion barrels of oil equivalent lie beneath the icy seas off its shores, a figure rivaling what remains in the U.S. or Europe. But developing those resources is proving lengthy, difficult, and expensive. Cost overruns have been huge, and no one knows if the Russians will end up controlling the assets now being built.

Santos Basin

 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Santos Basin - Brazil - The Santos Basin is an 352,260 square kilometres (136,010 sq mi) offshore pre-salt basin. It is located in the south Atlantic ocean, some 300 kilometres (190 mi) south east of São Paulo, Brazil. One of the largest Brazilian sedimentary basins, it is the site of several recent (2007-08) significant oil fields, including Tupi and Jupiter.

Williston Basin

last updated: 2010-02-17 13:00:00 CST
 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Williston Basin - Geology and News - Williston Basin - The very large Williston Basin that crosses Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, and includes the Niobrara Chalk (an important natural gas producer). The Williston Basin had up to 10,000 feet of sediment deposited in it since the Paleozoic. Several smaller basins have also had some success in oil exploration, such as the Big Horn, Powder River (Wyoming), Denver, and Salina Basins (Nebraska, Wyoming). The organic material deposited along with basin sediments as Paleozoic seas covered parts of this region at various times through geologic history, eventually became the oil and gas reservoirs of today.

Oil Sands

last updated: 2010-03-05 00:30:13 CST
 RSS 2.0 News Feed :: Oil Sands - Oil sands (also referred to as tar sands) are a combination of clay, sand, water, and bitumen, a heavy black viscous oil. Tar sands can be mined and processed to extract the oil-rich bitumen, which is then refined into oil. The bitumen in tar sands cannot be pumped from the ground in its natural state; instead tar sand deposits are mined, usually using strip mining or open pit techniques, or the oil is extracted by underground heating with additional upgrading.

Oil Shale

Bossier wells generally produce dry gas from overpressured sands contained within the Bossier shale. Productive sands are found at depths from 12,000 to 15,000 ft and generally occur in the upper 500 to 600 ft of the Bossier shale.
