A two-dimensional picture of the subsurface. It generates a seismic section, which is a two-dimensional slice from the surface of the earth downward. This section is known as 2D seismic because it shows the width and depth. These are seismic data lines acquired individually such that there typically are significant gaps (commonly 1 km or more) between adjacent lines.

The field is situated off Brazil’s south eastern Atlantic coast. Petrobras holds a 65% stake in Block BM-S-11 where Tupi was discovered and is the operator. BG has a 25% stake, and Portugal’s Galp Energia holds 10%. BG Group estimates total hydrocarbons in place on the Tupi discovery to be 12-30 billion boe or more, with the field to be delivering one million barrels per day by 2013-2015. This oil discovery could raise Brazil into the ranks of the world’s major oil exporters
A 4,128 kilometer (2,566 mile) pipeline project scheduled to begin construction in 2009 and be completed six years later. The project aims to transport gas from Nigeria to Algeria to try and satisfy the huge demand for natural gas from Europe. The pipeline would be built from the Niger Delta northwards through Nigeria, across the Niger and into Algeria
IEC’s transformation system includes transformers that connect the voltage to the transmission and transformation system from the 400 KV to the161 KV voltage and transformers that connect the 161 KV voltage to the medium voltage in the distribution system
TransCanada received a license to lay a 2,760 km pipeline from the Prudhoe Bay in Alaska to the port of Alberta in Canada at a total investment of 27 billion dollars. The pipeline would follow the route of the existing trans-Alaska oil pipeline The pipeline is due to transmit 4.5 bcf of natural gas per day via Canada to the US. The government of Alaska intends develop the natural gas reserves discovered over a decade ago in the North Slope but which have remained untouched due to the lack of a means to transmit the reserves hitherto to consumers. TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage and related services with approximately 355 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. A growing independent power producer, TransCanada owns, controls or is developing approximately 10,900 megawatts of power generation
