Characterization of Sedimentary Basins-Trinidad’s Southern Basin Trinidad’s southern Basin is a topographically low area between the Central Range Uplift and the southern Range Uplift. It forms an eastern part of the eastern Venezuelan Basin‚ which is positioned east of Venezuela and the Orinoco Delta. The basin is structurally deformed as a result of compressional tectonics. The tectonics are attributed to a triple boundary created from the interplay of the southern American‚ Caribbean and Atlantic

Hydrofracking By Zach Burkhart Marcellus Shale is a geologic formation containing natural gas that stretches across much of the Eastern U.S.‚ from New York to Tennessee. It has been a topic of hot debate over the past few years and continues to be a point of contention between landowners‚ governments‚ institutions‚ and private companies‚ even earning the attention of President Obama in his 2012 State of the Union speech. While geologists have known of the Marcellus Shale for years‚ early estimates of the

known as the Marcellus shale line‚ and it is in four different regions in the U.S. spread over thirty states. Historically gas companies would drill for their gas‚ but in recent history have developed a process of Hydraulic Fracturing which at one job can use one million gallons of fresh water‚ and over nine hundred chemicals‚ to include Benzene and various heavy metals (Gasland). Once this mixture is forced eight thousand feet into the earth’s crust it destroys the shale and releases the natural

name from “Hydraulic Fracturing‚” and this is the process by which fossil fuels‚ usually natural gas or petroleum‚ are extracted from the earth. During this process‚ drilling from a well into hard shale rock takes place‚ and then that rock is cracked. This cracking releases the fossil fuels inside the shale rocks. Water‚ sand and chemicals are injected into the cracked rocks at high pressure. Ultimately the injection forces the gas or oil to flow out of the well(CNN 2012). The whole process of just

Shale Gas(셰일 가스) Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that

research is done to bring together data found by other parties concerning the Womble Shale Formation. The Womble Shale Formation is located in Arkansas‚ the Ouachita Mountains‚ and Southern Oklahoma; it was named however for its outcrop seen in Norman‚ Arkansas (Used to be known as Womble‚ Arkansas). The age of the Womble Shale Formation has been correlated to Middle Ordovician in age due to fossils found within its shale and limestone layers. The two fossils found in these layers were the graptolites

Hydraulic Fracturing: Benefits of Shale Gas Fracking Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a sixty-year-old industry; however‚ in recent years availability and innovative fracking processes have created a boom‚ rendering the U.S. economy less vulnerable to alarming oil prices. “In 2009‚ the United States finally outpaced Russia to become the world’s top natural gas producer” (Walker). And now the nation enjoys many benefits inclusive but not limited to lower fuel prices. When done well‚ fracking provides

Robert D’Onston‚ and later‚ Joseph Barnett‚ who was considered a credible suspect. Joseph Barnett had lived and worked less than a mile from the heart of Whitechapel‚ the site of most of the murders. Barnett was not a suspect at the time of the murders‚ but he was later declared a suspect in the 1970’s (Barbee). They suspected him due to the fact that he was married to Mary Kelly‚ who late became a victim. Barnett was a fisher and Kelly did not work‚ but once Barnett lost his job Kelly was forced to
