The hole is advanced by turning sections of auger casing, called auger flights, into the subsurface. Rotating of the auger flights carries the soil to the surface. This method is most effective when used in stable soil conditions which are generally free from cobbles and boulders. The advantages of this method are that the hole …
According to the Israeli Petroleum Law: The holder of a preliminary permit or petroleum right shall not, save with the consent of the Minister of Religions, carry out any operation within one hundred meters of a holy site
A gusher is an oilwell that has come in with such great pressure that the oil jets out of the well like a geyser. A well that has blown out of control and from which oil, water, or gas is escaping with great force to the surface. An uncapped oil well connected to a reservoir of petroleum oil that is …
There are two ways to define the energy content of natural gas in common use — Higher Heating Value (HHV) and Lower Heating Value (LHV). The difference can be especially important when reviewing the performance of engine-driven systems. Higher Heating Values for a fuel include the full energy content as defined by bringing all products …

Shall provide service to the general public according to the Authority’s criteria, without discrimination, efficiently and reliably; shall purchase electricity from an IPP and provide infrastructure and backup services, etc.
Concept that there is still a lot of interesting oil to be developed from the geological point of view around the world but that many areas are – geopolitically – closed to international oil companies, so that in fact they are not running out of oil but running out of places to drill
Large-scale geological structures that might hold oil or gas reservoirs are invariably located beneath non-productive rocks, and in addition this is often below the sea. Geophysical methods can penetrate them to produce a picture of the pattern of the hidden rocks. Relatively inexpensive gravity and geomagnetic surveys can identify potentially oil-bearing sedimentary basins, but costly …
All greenhouse gases have a Global Warming Potential (GWP). This value is used to compare the abilities of different greenhouse gases to trap heat in the atmosphere. GWPs are based on the heat-absorbing ability of each gas relative to that of carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as the decay rate of each gas (the amount …
A relatively low-standing fault block bounded by opposing normal faults. Graben (used as both singular and plural) can form in areas of rifting or extension, where normal faults are the most common type of fault. Between graben are relatively high-standing blocks called horsts
A method by which permits for greenhouse gas emissions may be allocated among emitters and firms in a domestic emissions trading regime according to their historical emissions. >
