That time when the maximum rate of petroleum production has been reached and the quantities can thus only decline after this period. There is a conflict between those who claim that that there is a large endowment of resources left in the world and that there is nothing to worry about and those that say …

There are two main types of onshore drilling for natural gas. Percussion /cable tool drilling, consists of raising and dropping a heavy metal bit into the ground, effectively punching a hole down through the Earth. Cable tool drilling is usually used for shallow, low pressure formations. The second drilling method is known as rotary drilling, …
The ability, or measurement of a rock’s ability, to transmit fluids, typically measured in darcies or millidarcies. Formations that transmit fluids readily, such as sandstones, are described as permeable and tend to have many large, well-connected pores. Impermeable formations, such as shales and siltstones, tend to be finer grained or of a mixed grain size, …

PEI’s activities span the full spectrum of infrastructure services, from export and import, to supply, storage and piping of fuel to all parts of Israel, as well as handling crude oil and refined products
It is a method to ensure that all parties have open access use of an LNG terminal and it is thus a transparent capacity allocation mechanism. The allocation is made on a demand basis but users risk losing allocated capacity that has not been used (UIOLI) and thus creates a level playing field. An open …

This is the total resource base without regard to recoverability; it is essentially geologic in nature. The oil recovery factor (expected ultimate recovery divided by original oil-in-place) indicates what percent of the total resource can be recovered. Ultimately, the actual percentage recovered is significantly driven by complex economic and technological considerations.
A leading vertically integrated company dedicated to providing solutions for geothermal power, recovered energy generation (REG) and remote power. The company was established in 1965 by Yehuda and Yehudit Bronicki
Coal power station belonging to IEC situated in Hadera and situated on 1,200 dunam of land. One of the country’s two largest coal power stations with an installed capacity of 2,590 MW, which was constructed at a cost of $3 billion and which represents 25% of Israel’s installed generation capacity and is composed of two …
An ortophoto map is an aerial photograph which by metrical features completely corresponds to the map of the same scale. The procedure for producing ortophoto maps is faster thus more cost-effective than classical or digital maps. The production of an ortophoto map is based on oriented digital photogrammetric image and digital relief model. Once made …
