The factors that influence the change in electricity consumption. These are: the economy, demography and climate
These are wells drilled to fill in between established producing wells to increase production. Infill drilling optimization is a crucial aspect of the economic development of oil and natural gas fields. When an oil or gas reservoir is discovered, the operator needs to plan on how best to recover as much of the original gas or oil in place within the reservoir. Knowledge about the reservoir is gleaned from the wellbore, and the reservoir’s extent is based on prior geological and geophysical information until other wells are drilled to prove the lateral extent of the reservoir. It will take too many years for a single well to cost-effectively drain a reservoir. Drilling additional wells is necessary for efficient and optimal recovery of gas and oil from any reservoir. There is an optimal distance between each well such that they will not interfere with each other’s ability to produce efficiently. Known as well spacing, this distance is usually expressed in acres, and is known as infill drilling
Infill seismic data is often required in addition to the primary seismic data to reduce exploration risk by providing a better data set. It is designed to infill the existing seismic grid in order to better define known leads and prospects.
Wells drilled between existing producing wells to enhance field development and increase production from the reservoir
Coal in unexplored extensions of demonstrated resources for which estimates of the quality and size are based on geologic evidence and projection. Quantitative estimates are based largely on broad knowledge of the geologic character of the bed or region and where few measurements of bed thickness are available. The estimates are based primarily on an assumed continuation from demonstrated coal for which there is geologic evidence.
Housing and Construction is Israel’s largest solar energy company after making the strategic decision to expand its renewable energy and cleantech activity. The company is currently bidding in two government tenders for the construction of solar power plants at Ashelim in the Negev, at an estimated investment of $700 million. One tender is for a 125-250 megawatt thermosolar power station at a cost of $600 million, and the second is for the construction of a 70-megawatt photovoltaic power station. Arison Holdings Ltd. subsidiary Housing and Construction Holdings Co. Ltd. plans to build a 100 MW thermosolar power station in the Negev at an investment of $400-500 million
