although the UK's Met Office is more favourable) oe it starts to make economic sense for oil companies who would pay in the region of $100 per tonne to use the gas in enhanced oil recovery.

Techniques similar to those used in the offshore oil industry have been used for years by archaeologists on the ground to spot buried structures.

two (Charles and David Koch) expanded a medium-size family oil business into a billion-dollar industrial conglomerate,

Today, Norway is a leading oil exporter, with Statoil as the largest oil company in the Stavanger region.

The state also currently accounts for 2 percent of domestic oil production. Sound puny? Keep in mind that North dakota has just 650,000 residents,

And its aggressively ramping up its oil production. During the past 12 months, North dakotas crude oil production is up 43 percent,

and oil production made Petra an exceptionally attractive prize for Rome researcher Christian Cloke a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati said in a statement.

and will create far fewer jobs than claimed by the oil industry. Keystone XL will directly lead to a significant increase in greenhouse-gas emissions

the oil industry continues to push for as tar sands processing operations expand in Canada. In 2012 NRDC challenged Exxonmobil's plan to truck megaloads of mining equipment up to Canada through one of the most scenic mountainous highways in the country U s. Route 12

Biofuels have developed in response to the high costs of oil production and to the problem of pollution created during petroleum extraction and refining processes.

and oil industries or illegal settlers from destroying forests. Stronger rights mean less deforestation a lot less.

Expanding domestic oil production will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and natural gas and significantly reduce the billions of dollars we send abroad each year.</

and the oil industry will see them through the downturn. Verenium based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, secured US$90 million from oil company BP in August 2008,

and the two companies announced a joint venture this year. The joint venture has applied for a loan guarantee from the US energy department to build a commercial-scale plant in Florida,

Spill science scarce The presidential commission investigating last year's huge oil spill in the Gulf of mexico has called for more science in federal decisions on oil production and spill response.

Business BP in Russian deal BP is joining up with Russia's state oil company Rosneft to drill in the Arctic waters of the Kara Sea.

The drilling was carried out in part by the oil company Texaco, which Chevron later purchased. Events Egypt's revolution offers hope to science Elated scientists joined celebrations throughout Egypt following the resignation of Hosni Mubarak on 11 february

says one oil-company representative. Compromise proposals were tabled by, among others, The netherlands and Italy, and may still be taken up by the ministers.

Oil companies say that biofuels are the best way to meet the 6%emission-reduction goal.

leaving high-volume efforts to oil company Total, based in Paris, and biofuel firm Cosan in S £o Paulo, Brazil, with whom it has signed joint ventures.

what could be the largest surge in global oil production since the 1980s, says a report from Harvard university s Belfer Center for Science and International affairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Contrary to fears of a peak in oil production, the report suggests that global oil-production capacity could expand from 93 million barrels per day in 2011 to 110.6 million barrels per day in 2020.

oil company Shell announced on 17 Â September. The setback means that the mission no longer meets the safety requirements for a permit to drill specific wells. Shell will continue to bore exploratory top holes in the Chukchi sea in preparation for further drilling,

and the oil industry uses readings from the field to guide drills. In nature animals which use the field could be confused mightily-birds bees

Oil companies have ZERO incentive to engage in'Global Warming Denial'whatever that is. 1. Oil is the only game in town

Also if you are so against natural gas production/oil production you really should sell your car grow your own food make your own cloths

because oil companies are doing us a'service'does not take away from the fact that millions of metric tons of pollutants are pumped into the atmosphere daily.

-Yes oil companies have done good things for human progress but they are spending billions of years to get politicians to keep us hooked on fossil fuels rather than progressing to renewables.

and it enables one of the filthiest forms of oil production there is. Energy security is important

which logging companies pay stumpage fees and oil companies pay royalties. Modern medicine relies on antibiotics to kill off bacterial infections explains Hollis. This is incredibly important.

#Key genes for increasing oil content in plant leaves identifiedscientists at the U s. Department of energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have identified the key genes required for oil production and accumulation in plant leaves and other vegetative plant tissues.

The first step was to identify the genes responsible for oil production in vegetative plant tissues. Though oil isn't stored in these tissues almost all plant cells have the capacity to make oil.

or disabling genes that enable cells to make certain enzymes involved in oil production. Pumping up the factors that normally increase oil production in seeds had no effect on oil production in leaves

and one of these when overexpressed in leaves caused growth and developmental problems in the plants.

however had dramatic effects on leaf oil production. If you knock out (disable) the gene for an enzyme known as PDAT it doesn't affect oil synthesis in seeds

but it dramatically decreases oil production and accumulation in leaves Xu said. In contrast overexpressing the gene for PDAT-that is getting cells to make more of this enzyme-resulted in a 60-fold increase in leaf oil production.

An important observation was that the excess oil did not mix with cellular membrane lipids

Identifying the mechanismnext the scientists used radio-labeled carbon (C-14) to decipher the biochemical mechanism by which PDAT increases oil production.

and oleosin) in a variant of test plants that already had elevated an rate of fatty acid synthesis. In this case the genetic boost resulted in even greater oil production

Xu is now collaborating with Brookhaven biochemist John Shanklin to explore the potential effect of overexpressing these key genes on oil production in dedicated biomass crops such as sugarcane.

Unlike other algal oil production processes in which algae grow in open ponds Solazyme grows microalgae in total darkness in the same kind of fermentation vats used to produce vinegar medicines and scores of other products.

Olive grovestexas has been known for its oil production for almost 150 years. Now a new oil industry is sprouting in

what may bring producers cash and consumers a local edible choice--olive oil. Olive trees native to the Mediterranean region have been documented on almost 800 acres in the state and many affiliated with the new industry believe the acreage is closer to 2000 according to Texas A&m Agrilife Extension service horticulturists.

In Scandinavia fast pyrolysis oil production is rapidly becoming commercialized. Energy company Fortum is to invest â0m in an integrate bio-oil plant

and later with sugarcane the team introduced genes that boost natural oil production in the plant.

They increased oil production in sugarcane stems to about 1. 5 percent. That doesn't sound like a lot

as the plateau of oil production signals the beginning of a new era of expensive and difficult oil.

rather than disappearing into the pockets of oil companies or the public coffers of Venezuela and Saudi arabia.

the Federal Treasury would pay oil companies at least $31 billion to use 69 billion gallons of corn ethanol that the Federal Renewable Fuels Standard already requires them to use.

Unfortunately, our governmental bodies remain in legislative capture by the automobile and oil industries and haven't shown much leadership on freight rail

We're as dependent on foreign oil as we've ever been, the modest recent uptick in domestic unconventional oil production notwithstanding.

At $61 a barrel, oil production can be profitable at an EROI of 5 but not at 2. When EROI is less than 10,

because the EROI of domestic U s. oil production is now approaching 10, having fallen from around 100 in the early days of oil (Cleveland, 2005).

then reinforced how essential water is to oil production. And then they use it and then it's gone.

Because you need the water again for oil production. You need it. Fifteen to 20 percent of global oil use is there
