State had active oil and or gas wells as of April 2015 [134] but no accidents have been uncovered. – Major crude oil train derailment in Mosier, a small town in the Columbia gorge spilled and burst into flames June 2016. The accident was due to railway dysfunction and bad parts.
Used commercially since the 1960s, [1] it is considered an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method and is the main type of thermal stimulation of oil reservoirs. There are several different forms of the technology, with the two main ones being Cyclic Steam Stimulation and Steam Flooding.
Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. Whereas primary and secondary recovery techniques rely on the pressure differential between the surface and the underground well, enhanced oil recovery functions by altering the physical or ...
Alabama Oil Well Production 'Just the Beginning' for FTTN BRADENTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With production underway at its Alabama oil and gas well, designated CCL&T 35-5 #1, First Titan Corp ...
The compound 1,4-dichlorobezene was detected in 3 out of 8 oil and gas sites, 3 out of 4 urban sites, and 1 out of 2 rural background sites. The benzene concentrations at one of the eight oil and gas sites was identified as cause for concern, because although it was within the acceptable range, it was near the upper limit of the range.
In some cases, carbon dioxide (CO 2) flooding may be an ideal tertiary recovery method to recover more of the recoverable oil than could be produced using secondary oil recovery methods. Because of its special properties, CO 2 improves oil recovery by lowering interfacial tension , swelling the oil, reducing viscosity of the oil, and by ...
Total organic content of the shale ranges from 0.5% to 1.5%. The Schlumberger Montage Shale log, filed with the Alabama Oil and Gas Board, calculates gas in place as 330.2 billion feet 3 per square mile of gas (3.57 billion m 3 per km 2) in place for every 4,270 ft (1,300 m) thickness of shale. This area has a unique subsidence and thrust zone ...
The American Public Gas Association under a U. S. Department of Energy grant funded a three-well research program in 1980 to produce coalbed methane at Pleasant Grove, Alabama. [5] This program is the first aimed at commercial recovery of gas rather than mine degasification.
