The main function of an oil filter in a car is to filter the oil coming from the charter to be circulated to the engine. The main function of the oil between it is as a lubricant and engine coolant. The engine working temperature is affected by the engine cooling system and the oil function which acts as a cooler. One effort to improve the quality of oil cooling can be done with the addition of cooling aids placed in the oil filter. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of changes in the working temperature of the engine mounted cooling aids on oil filters. The method used to conduct research is the use of metal and aluminum based tools with the number of fins that are varied. The shape of the tool is a metal sleeve with fin fins that vary in number. The results of the temperature scale under the influence of engine speed in this study is the greatest level of decline with variations in the number of fins of 10oC. Whereas with the use of different materials, a 5oC reduction was obtained in the use of aluminum compared to stainless steels.

ABSTRACT Mobil Oil Corporation has long recognized the need to be prepared in the event of a large spill of oil. This paper discusses what happened when Mobil's Marine Transportation Department received word that one of its vessels had stranded in the Columbia River, releasing a quantity of oil. Response to the Mobiloil incident brought together personnel from several Mobil companies in a preplanned manner. When on scene, this diverse group, previously trained, had the necessary skills and knowledge to rapidly organize to manage the spill cleanup operation. This spill response operation verified the training programs conducted by Mobil. It included the establishment of a bird rescue center, the use of company-owned communications equipment, and resulted in at least one new cleanup technique. These experiences are shared with the hope that others responding to a large spill may do so with confidence if the necessary planning has been accomplished and response team personnel have been provided appropriate training.

To understand the elemental characteristics of the exhaust particles from a jet aircraft, we performed an element analysis using an in-air PIXE system of the different lubrication oils of a jet engine (Mobil Jet Oil II, Mobil Jet Oil 254 and Eastman Turbo Oil 2380) and the jet fuel (JET A-1) to determine the effects on the exhaust particles. A high concentration (1,400–2,500 wt.-ppm) of P was detected from the analyzed three oil samples. The high concentration of P is probably due to the tricresyl phosphate (TCP: C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]O4P) contained in the oil samples. The S concentrations of the JET A-1 fuel samples with different collection dates were in the range of [Formula: see text]10 to 530 wt.-ppm. These results aid in determining the component features of nanoparticles emitted from an aircraft.

Vehicle population in Indonesia which are fueled by oil increase annually while the petroleum reserves are more limited. Parallel with the increasing oil fuel consumption for the vehicles causing the increasing fuel subsidies and air pollution as well. To reduce the subsidy for oil fuel and the air pollution it is necessary to find out the alternative fuel which is environmentally friendly as a vehicle fuel and are available in huge amount. One of the alternative fuels which is environmentally friendly is the gas fuel. The problems for developing the use of gas fuel are that the availibility of the filling stations are still limited and the users feel unsafe to use the gas fuel. The research results showed at dynamometer (dynotest) that the gas fuel can be used as a alternative fuel for oil but unfortunately the vehicle designed has a declined torque at variable rotation (rpm) and a decrease Pouzer to variable rotation and exhaust emission is very environmental friendly (good) especially causes by decreasing emissions of CO, CO2, HC and O2 and increasing Lamda.

Monocrystalline Cu nanocolloid with 4.3 nm average particle size and 2.3～9.5 nm particle size distribution was successfully synthesized in situ by liquor-phase reduction synthesis, using copper acetate tetrahydrate as precursor, ascorbic acid as reductant, polyethylene sorbitan monooleate （Tween-80） as modifier, and liquid paraffin as solvent. The as-prepared copper nanocolloid was characterized by XRD, SAED, and TEM. Nano-lubricating oil with excellent dispersibility, chemical stability, and compatibility with other additives verified by TG-DSC, was achieved via adding as-prepared nano-copper into Mobil 1 5w-30 lubricating oil. The nano-lube’s physiochemical properties were characterized according to Chinese national standard. The tribological behavior of nano-lubricant was investigated on ball-on-disk UMT-Ⅱ tribometer and four-ball tribometer. The worn surface morphology was analyzed by means of SEM and EDS. Experimental results show as follows. The Mobil 1 5w-30 lube’s tribological property is markedly enhanced with the as-prepared copper nanocolloid as its additive. The as-prepared nano-Cu agglomerate discontinuous deposited, extrude, melt, spread, and form a film in micro-defects on the worn surfaces, then improve the friction-reducing, anti-wear ability, extreme pressure value, and extreme working ability of Mobil 1 5w-30 lubricant.

In environmental terms, hydraulic fluids used in the hydraulic system of municipal vehicles represent problems related to a potential leakage from the system into the environment and the subsequent contamination of groundwater and soil. More environment-friendly way is to use green hydraulic fluids that are biodegradable in accidents. This paper aims to investigate the possibilities of biodegradable oil application and its adaptation in the hydraulic systems of municipal vehicles by monitoring the impact of the bio-oil Mobil EAL 46 ESSO on the performance parameters as flow, efficiency, durability, etc. Hydraulic pump revolutions were measured using a non-contact sensor based on the principle of magnetic induction change. Method of tightness monitoring was used to achieve results for functionality and wear of the hydraulic system. During 600 h of the test period no significant deterioration of performance parameters was detected. Results are useful for companies involved in waste collection.

Full textAbstract:
Summary A steam injection project was conducted in diatomite containing heavy, biodegraded oil (12°API, ?3,000 cp) in the South Belridge field, Kern County, California. The diatomite interval tested (the San Joaquin, Etchegoin, and Belridge diatomites) underlies an active steamflood in the sandstone of the Tulare formation. Initially, the test was to determine the viability of cyclic steam recovery from an unpropped, steam fractured completion in the diatomite. Four standard steam cycles were completed, with sluggish oil recovery [oil-steam ratios (OSR) were less than 0.1]. The well was then hydraulically fractured and propped. Two additional steam cycles were completed that had considerably greater oil recovery (OSR>0.2). The project was then configured for steamdrive by drilling a closely spaced producer. The new producer was initially completed with a propped hydraulic fracture and cycled once. The original cyclic producer was converted to continuous injection, and a two-well steamflood was operated for more than 1 year. During the steamflood, heavy oil was mobilized and response has been continuous. The configuration of the "pattern," with only one producer, results in poor capture efficiency. The performance of this incomplete pattern has been, as expected, poor (<0.1 OSR), but steam injection is shown to be a promising recovery technique for the heavy oil diatomite. The process is applicable to California diatomites, or any other high porosity, low permeability, shallow reservoirs that contain a significant concentration of heavy oil. Introduction It is estimated that the diatomite in the San Joaquin Valley of California contains as much as 10 billion barrels of oil. Mobil's former holdings in South Belridge, Lost Hills, and McKittrick, now part of Aera Energy, a joint venture between Mobil and Shell, contain on the order of 1 to 2 billion barrels. These formations are marked by high porosity (40 to 70%) and moderate to high oil saturation that can result in very high oil concentrations that are amenable to such recovery techniques as steam injection. The low permeability of diatomite (generally <1 md), however, makes any recovery technique very challenging. The diatomaceous facies of the Monterey formation is widespread along the western and central portion of the San Joaquin Valley and is one of the reservoir intervals for commercial production from the Lost Hills, South Belridge, McKittrick, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista fields. In some of these fields, such as South Belridge, productive diatomite reservoirs directly underlie highly productive massive steamflood operations in sandstones of the Tulare formation. These thick diatomite strata (up to 1,000 ft) form an attractive target and, in some respects, represent the final frontier for thermal recovery operations in onshore California. Especially attractive, if thermal operations can be utilized to unlock the diatomite, is the existing steamflood infrastructure available for the diatomite, particularly as conventional operations (such as the Tulare) decline sharply. South Belridge could certainly benefit from such a synergistic implementation. The South Belridge diatomite reservoir exhibits considerable areal and vertical variation in oil properties. In the central and southeastern portions of what were Mobil's properties, the upper portion of the diatomite reservoir contains heavy, biodegraded oil, the kind found in the overlying Tulare. Below this, the oil grades to intermediate and light. Further complicating the description is the mineralogy: the highly porous Opal A lies in the shallower depths, but has changed, due to increased temperature accompanying burial, from amorphous opaline silica to the less porous, more mechanically competent Opal CT. In South Belridge, Mobil had primary recovery operations for light oil in both the Opals A and CT, and waterflood operations in light (overlapping into the intermediate) oil in the Opal A. All wells for these operations are hydraulically fractured, a technique that opened the way in the late 1970's for accelerated development of the diatomite reservoirs in the San Joaquin Valley.1 Even so, the ultimate expected recovery is small (<20%, even for waterflood). Currently, Aera has no commercial operations in the heavy oil diatomite. Heavy and intermediate oil, at least for the former Mobil portion of South Belridge, represent a significant fraction of the total holdings. Commercial cyclic steam operations have been ongoing by Union, Chevron,2 and Texaco in the McKittrick field and pilot operations for cyclic and steamflood have been initiated by Cal Resources and Mobil (now combined as Aera Energy) in the South Belridge field.3–9 During the late 1980's, Mobil had several isolated field trials of cyclic steam injection in wells hydraulically fractured and propped in intervals containing either heavy or intermediate oil. These tests paved the way for our first intensive pilot to determine the feasibility of thermal operations in the heavy oil diatomite at South Belridge. Previous thermal pilots in the diatomite for heavy oil have utilized cyclic steam. The only previous pilot for steamflooding,3–9 also in the South Belridge, targeted a light oil interval. This pilot therefore represents the first cyclic steam followed by steamflooding for a heavy oil interval in the California diatomite. An additional area for concern to be addressed in this thermal pilot was how steam injection would affect the problematic subsidence in the diatomite10,11 and potential wellbore failures.12,13 Original Purposes of the Test. The initial purpose of the test was to determine the viability of high pressure steam injection into an unfractured interval of diatomite in the South Belridge containing heavy oil. The test had the following original objectives:quantify incremental oil production attributable to steam stimulation;better define the crude oil gravity and viscosity in the South Belridge diatomite;confirm the laboratory-based predictions of siliceous matrix dissolution and crude distillation resulting from steam injection;determine the feasibility of linkage to the natural fracture system; anddetermine the impact of steam cycling on localized formation compaction.

: The invention of mesoporous materials is of significant interest to many scientists worldwide. The Mobil Crystalline Materials No 41 (MCM-41) is a well-known mesoporous molecular sieve that was discovered in 1992 by a scientist at the Mobil Oil Corporation. The MCM-41 is widely used in catalysis, ion exchange, drug delivery, optics, gas sensing, and sorption. In this study, the surface of a mesoporous silica MCM-41, synthesized from pure silica, is functionalized with a methyl group by grafting. The synthesized and functionalized samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), and the functionalized sample are also characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The textural properties of the samples are determined using N2 adsorption and desorption analysis. Thermal behaviors of the samples are analyzed using thermogravimetry (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG). The results of the analyses show that the functionalization of the synthesized material through grafting was accomplished with the surface area of the functionalized sample determined as 600.87 m2 g-1.

The primary focus of most academic climate policy studies has been the robustness of climate science and the development of international negotiations and institutions, in which states, and sometimes societies, have been pinpointed as the key players. Systematic comparative studies of multinational and even global non-governmental actors have been in short supply. This research lacuna is particularly glaring since the position of a major non-state actor—the oil industry—may be crucial to the viability of the climate regime. This analysis shows that there are striking differences in the ways European-based and US-based oil companies have responded to the climate issue—here represented by the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Exxon Mobil—and that one major source of explanation for this difference is found in the national political contexts of the companies' home-base countries. The importance of political context implies that the conditions for changing oil companies' climate strategies are likely to be located in the political context rather than in the companies themselves.

The following contaminants were chosen: preservation oil K-17, Mobil 423 oil, SOZh-073, Vacuquench B244 quenching oil, Polishing paste, MPK emulsion. The quality of cleaning the contaminants was tested for the following detergents: Ardrox 6378 A, Ardrox 6333, Ardrox 6486. Detergent Ardrox 6378A washes away all investigated contaminants from the surface of the samples, except for conservation oil. Ardrox 6333 B detergent does not wash stubborn contaminants – K-17 conservation oil and polishing paste. The Ardrox 6486 detergent composition does not wash all investigated contaminants except the IPC emulsion. Of the Ardrox brand detergents, Ardrox 6378A is the most effective. Studies have been conducted to determine the optimal contaminant cleaning regime for the most effective detergent composition – Ardrox 6378A. The study showed that at a concentration of this composition of 15 % and a temperature of 65 °C, the surface is washed from all contaminants.

ABSTRACT In October 1996, Mobil, Amoco, and Amoco's Egyptian joint venture partner, Gupco (Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company), conducted a tier III oil spill exercise with key government authorities, including the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) and the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC). This joint exercise represented a significant step forward in promoting global government and industry cooperation in preparedness and response to major oil spills. The exercise involved high-level decision makers from key Egyptian government agencies charged with responding to oil spills. Other participants were local, regional, and international tier II and III consultants and contractors, including responders from Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) in Southampton, England. During the exercise, onshore response equipment was deployed, and civil aviation, customs, and immigration issues related to air transport of equipment and mobilization of personnel to Egypt were tested. Technical resources from the Integrated Simulators Complex in Alexandria, Egypt, were used by the response team in developing strategies to deal with the oil spill scenario. Professional media personnel were used to test issues pertaining to government and public affairs. This exercise, which was observed by the Egyptian Red Sea governor and the U.S. ambassador, demonstrates that Egyptian authorities are working to become a “center of excellence” in oil spill preparedness for the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, and North African region.

Full textAbstract:
Libya is by most definitions an oil-based economy. Yet academic study of the national oil industry is at best fragmentary. The reasons for the poor showing of the Libyan oil industry in the literature stem partly from the relative decline in its international importance since the mid-1970s and partly from the ambiguity over acknowledgement of the role of the oil industry within Libya.The growth of the Libyan oil industry dates from 1951 and the coming of national independence. There had been surveys of a small scale and technologically limited kind in Libya in the Italian period. Some shows of oil had been discovered in Tripolitania as early as 1914 when water wells were drilled to supply Tripoli city (Waddams 1980, 27). Other oil was discovered in Tripolitania in the 1930s and a full scale exploration programme was prepared in the years 1937–1940 by the Italian national oil corporation under the geological guidance of Professor Ardito Desio, but never fully implemented due to the onset of war. Indeed, Desio was to return as a consultant to the oil companies working in Libya in the 1950s.In 1953 a mineral law was issued which paved the way for the grant of concessions to foreign oil companies to explore and develop oil resources. A petroleum law was promulgated in 1955 which offered rather more favourable terms on fees, rents, royalties and expensing to the oil companies than were available in other longer established oil producing states of North Africa and the Middle East (cf. Waddams, 1980, 57–70). At the same time, the assets of the oil companies in Libya were given far reaching protection under amendments of the petroleum law. The consequence of the generous operating terms of this and subsequent revisions of the law (1961 and 1965) was a rapid growth in the number of concessionaries exploring for oil within the country. The open-door policy pursued by the government was much criticised at a later period. Undoubtedly, however, it did succeed in attracting a wide spectrum of oil companies into Libya, including the major ones, such as Esso, Royal Dutch/Shell, Texaco, Gulf, BP and Mobil, together with many small independent interests. The best international techniques for exploration and development were put to work in Libya within a very short space of time, bringing the country rapidly into the ranks of the main oil-exporting states. Oil exports began on a commercial scale in September 1961 from Esso's Zelten fields in the Sirtican area, concession No. 6.

The article discusses several new laws in the oil and gas sector of Venezuela, which appeared at the beginning of the 21st century. It also presents the tax regimes in this area of the country and the types of tax and economic burdens that apply to these regimes; highlights the main problematic aspects of changes in tax legislation and the consequences on the activities of foreign companies and the development of the oil and gas sector of the country as a result of such changes. It is concluded that the increase in state revenues not solve the problem of attracting investments in the oil and gas sector of the country, and only scare off a large company in the future (Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips have left the Venezuelan market), resulting in a fall in production at the country, its government revenues, and then slowing down economic growth in the country. As an alternative approach to improving state regulation and the conduct of the oil business in the country, the options for improving this situation are presented: to increase the share of foreign companies in strategic partnerships; review the tax system for oil companies; allow some programs to be implemented directly by foreign companies; and propose new distribution and profitability schemes that will adapt to the current international hydrocarbon market.

Catalytic pyrolysis oil (CPO) was produced from lignin using the ex-situ mechanism and nanoporous HZSM-5 (SiO2/Al2O3 = 50) as a catalyst. The oil contained phenolics, esters, acids, and benzene derivatives as the major constituents. The emulsification of CPO in diesel was tested with several emulsifier combinations such as Span 80 and Tween 60, Span 80 and Atlox 4916, and Atlox 4916 and Zephrym PD3315 in the HLB range of 5.8–7.3. The HLB value of 5.8 using the combination of Span 80 and Atlox 4916 and the CPO:emulsifier:diesel ratio of 5:2:93 (wt%), provided a stable emulsion for 10 days. The physiochemical properties of that emulsion were comparable to diesel. Hence, emulsions of CPO and diesel can potentially be used as a diesel engine fuel.

Full textAbstract:
Thevenard Island area lies in the offshore Carnarvon Basin off the northwest coast of Western Australia. The Flacourt Formation of the Cretaceous Barrow Group sequence is the primary oil-producing reservoir. West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited (WAPET) as operator on behalf of its participants (Chevron, Texaco, Shell and Mobil) has been producing from this reservoir since 1989. It has widely been held that in this area the relatively thick, multi-darcy Barrow Group oil accumulations have had infinite aquifer pressure support with no regional draw-down effect.After the commencement of oil production from the Flacourt Formation, wireline pressure surveys in exploration and development wells have indicated anomalous pressure trends in the reservoir. Initially, the accuracy of pressure gauges and elevation measuring devices were questioned.Recent studies based on WAPET's production history in the region and re-analysis of wireline pressure data have shown that the Flacourt Formation does experience regional draw-down in aquifer pressure due to production. This paper demonstrates the existence of draw-down and how this information has aided in the evaluation of the Flacourt Formation and the overlying Mardie Greensand reservoirs.

Four giant volumes (plus a companion one on Humble Oil) appeared between 1955 and 1988 on the history of Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) and its successor (as of 1972) Exxon Corporation. These well-documented volumes took the story to 1975. As related by the publisher and author of this book, about four years after the 1999 megamerger of Exxon and Mobil and the formation of ExxonMobil, the merged unit gave a collection of its historical files—containing some four million documents—to the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History (DBC) at the University of Texas at Austin. When the document transfer was made, in 2003, William Hale, a thirty-year Exxon/ExxonMobil manager (most recently in the public relations department) suggested that it was time for a fifth volume of Exxon history. ExxonMobil's top management approved, and in 2005 the DBC asked Joseph Pratt to write it. He agreed, and the book under review, which covers the period 1973 through the merger to 2005, was written by Pratt “with the assistance of William Hale” and published by DBC.

AbstractThe Beryl Field, the sixth largest oil field in the UK sector of the North Sea, is located within Block 9/13 in the west-central part of the Viking Graben. The block was awarded in 1971 to a Mobil operated partnership and the 9/13-1 discovery well was drilled in 1972. The Beryl A platform was emplaced in 1975 and the Beryl B platform in 1983. To date, ninety-five wells have been drilled in the field, and drilling activity is anticipated into the mid-1990s.Commercial hydrocarbons occur in sandstone reservoirs ranging in age from Upper Triassic to Upper Jurassic. Structurally, the field consists of a NNE orientated horst in the Beryl A area and westward tilted fault blocks in the Beryl B area. The area is highly faulted and complicated by two major and four minor unconformities. The seal is provided by Upper Jurassic shales and Upper Cretaceous marls.There are three prospective sedimentary sections in the Beryl Field ranked in importance as follows: the Middle Jurassic coastal deltaic sediments, the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic continental and marine sediments, and the Upper Jurassic turbidites. The total ultimate recovery of the field is about 800 MMBBL oil and 1.6 TCF gas. As of December 1989, the field has produced nearly 430 MMBBL oil (primarily from the Middle Jurassic Beryl Formation), or about 50% of the ultimate recovery. Gas sales are scheduled to begin in the early 1990s. Oil and gas production is forecast until licence expiration in 2018.The Beryl Fields is located 215 miles northeast of Aberdeen, about 7 miles from the United Kingdom-Norwegian boundary. The field lies within Block 9/13 and covers and area of approximately 12 000 acres in water depths ranging from 350-400 ft. Block 9/13 contains several hydrocarbon-bearing structures, of which the Beryl Fields is the largest (Fig. 1). The field is subdivided into two producing areas: the Beryl Alpha area which includes the initial discovery well, and the Beryl Bravo area located to the north. The estimated of oil originally in place is 1400 MMBBL for Beryl A and 700 MMBBL for Beryl B. The fiel has combined gas in place of 2.8 TCF, consisting primarily of solution gas. Hydrocarbon accumulations occur in six reservoir horizons ranging in age from Upper Triassic to Upper Jurassic. The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian to Callovian) age Beryl Formation is the main reservoir unit and contains 78% of the total ultimate recovery.The field was named after Beryl Solomon, the wife of Charles Solomon, who was president of Mobil Europe in 1972 when the field was discovered. The satellite fields in Block 9/13 (Nevis, Ness and Linnhe) are named after Scottish lochs.

Full textAbstract:
The discovery of heavily biodegraded oil in Novara–1 in 1982 by Esso/BHP branded the Exmouth Sub-basin as a difficult exploration province for almost two decades. A total of 24 barrels of biodegraded, 16.7o API oil was recovered from a drill-stem test conducted over a 2 m interval, indicating an uneconomic flow rate of 33 BOPD. The perception that any future oil discoveries would be similarly biodegraded and therefore highly problematic, if not impossible, to produce economically, condemned the Exmouth Sub-basin in favour of its eastern cousins— the Barrow and Dampier sub-basins.Despite an encouraging 550 BOPD flow of biodegraded oil from a poor quality reservoir in West Muiron–5 in 1993, it was not until late 1998/9 that flows of 4,300 and 4,800 BOPD from the nearby Woodside wells Vincent–1 and Enfield–1, respectively, demonstrated that biodegraded Exmouth oils could be produced at potentially commercial rates. Concurrent reinterpretation of the Novara–1/ST results, in an integrated geological and engineering assessment, promoted the Coniston prospect adjacent to the Novara fault block.The Novara–1/ST test was demonstrated to have failed largely due to the test parameters, rather than the nature of the oil. Geochemically, the Novara oil is similar to West Muiron–5, so any oil discovered at Coniston had the potential to flow as well as Vincent–1 if a sufficiently thick oil column was encountered in the expected similarly high quality reservoir. Coniston–1 was drilled by BHP/ Mobil in January/February 2000, and flowed biodegraded 15.6° API oil on DST at a rate of 2119 BOPD, restricted by rig and environmental constraints.Historical bias has held back exploration of the Exmouth Sub-basin, leaving this one of the least explored of the Jurassic depocentres within the Carnarvon Basin. The Novara experience encourages explorers to challenge preconceptions and to ensure that the correct mix of technical skills is brought to bear in resolving prospectivity issues. Companies that maintain an active exploration position that allows them to respond rapidly to new concepts stand to gain most when historical biases are overturned.

Full textAbstract:
Basalts totalling 236 m in thickness were intersected in the wildcat oil well Mobil Gulf Chinampas N-37 in the Bay of Fundy. A 5.5 m section of conventional core retrieved from the middle of the basalt section sampled two fine-grained, phenocryst-poor, amygdaloidal basalt flows. The basalts, though somewhat altered, show concentrations of ferromagnesian elements (e.g., Fe, Mg, Cr, Ni) and immobile elements (e.g., Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf) as well as chondrite-normalized REE patterns typical of high-Ti quartz-normative tholeiites and are identical to more evolved samples of the North Mountain basalts at Digby. These petrographic and geochemical characteristics allow correlation with middle unit flows of the North Mountain basalts. The lower unit of North Mountain basalt may be as thick in the well as in the Digby area (~200 m), but the upper unit is either missing or very thin (< 68 m). A 25 m thick sedimentary section just above the conventional core but within the basalt sequence has not been reported on land and hints at the existence of a basalt unit not present on North Mountain. The conclusion that North Mountain basalts occur in the Chinampas well suggests that the flows underlie most of the Bay of Fundy, originally covered 9400 km2, and had a total volume of 2350 km3.

AbstractThe Beryl Field is located within Block 9/13 in the UK North Sea, in the west central part of the Viking Graben. The block was awarded in 1971 to a Mobil operated partnership, and the 9/13-1 discovery well drilled in 1972. The Beryl A platform was installed in 1975 and oil production started up the following year. The Beryl B platform was added in 1983 and production and gas re-injection pressure support commenced in 1984. The first 3D seismic survey was shot over the field in 1986, and the most recent in 1997. As of January 1999, 133 wells have been drilled into the field and development drilling is expected to continue well into the twenty-first century.Commercial hydrocarbons occur in sandstone reservoirs ranging in age from Triassic to late Jurassic, with the primary reservoir being the Middle Jurassic Beryl Formation (1.4 billion barrels of oil originally in place). Total ultimate recovery for all reservoirs in the field is expected to be about 960 million barrels of oil (MMBBL) and 2.1 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas. As of January 1999, the field has produced nearly 710 MMBBL of oil, or almost 75 % of the ultimate oil recovery.The field has been described previously by Knutson and Munro (1991), and Robertson (1993). Recent drilling data (more than 30 new wells) and new 3D seismic have updated the initial field descriptions. These data allow the mapping of two key unconformities, the Mid Cimmerian (Jt) event and a Base Callovian (Jb3) event. Reservoir facies models and isochore maps have also been developed, which together with the refined structural model, allow a better understanding of the reservoir distributions and will guide future production strategies.

ABSTRACT In offshore oil spills a very thin oil layer has to be skimmed off from the sea surface. Generally this operation has to be carried out in rough seas, requiring a very accurate separation of oily water from the water surface. This paper presents three different systems for oil recovery in the seaway. All are in service in the Federal Republic of Germany. The development of spilt-hull multipurpose vessels introduced a new technical concept for oil recovery in the seaway. The ships show good efficiency in open seas up to wave heights of 2 m. The advantage of a split-hull oil combat vessel is its high transit speed. Its operation is favorable in following waves, since the two hinged parts of the hull act as a shielding device. Also for open sea operations, the Mobil Oil Dike (MOD) has been developed. In this system, 49 m long and 27 m wide, with a draft of 3.2 to 4.4 m, a wave breaking beach is integrated between the two hulls of a catamaran. The vessel moves at an operating speed of 3 to 4 knots, which raises the water level at the beach and forces the surface oil-water layer to rise above the dam crest and splash into the sump. Driven by the pressure head, the mixture proceeds through the settling tanks of the catamaran hulls. The separated water is discharged into the sea through valves in the hull's stern. For inshore operations a third system has been developed. The Multipurpose Oil Skimming System (MPOSS) is a dock-shaped vessel with two horizontal flap systems that follow the wave profile. The front flap-floater system skims off the oil by controlled undercutting of the water surface. Its motions are damped by a counter-rotating wing, acting as a balanced rudder. After the oil-water layer has passed the intake, it proceeds to the aft separation flap where accurate separation takes place. The overflowing oil proceeds over the flap to the oil sump and is removed by pumps. For offshore missions in coastal waters, this oil skimmer is integrated into a catamaran-type pontoon. The vessel is 33.5 m long, 12 m wide and has a draft of 1.5 m. All these systems raise considerable hydrodynamic problems as only a thin oil-water layer has to be skimmed off. The motion of the flaps, the deviation of substantial water quantities and the related vortex generation disturb the oil flow at the surface. In waves, breaking phenomena and related forces have been studied. Based on model tests and full scale experience this paper describes some hydrodynamic problems and their solution.

AbstractThe Beryl Field is one of the largest oil fields in the UK Continental Shelf. Mobil commenced production in 1976 via the Beryl Alpha platform. Production peaked at approximately 200 000 BOE/day in 1993 before declining to around 50 000 BOE/day in 2012.Apache assumed operatorship in 2012 and, along with partners Shell, has arrested and reversed production decline on platform production through investment in 3D seismic data, drilling, workovers and improvements to operational efficiency. Redevelopment to date by the Beryl area partnership has focused on strategic wells across multiple play types and fields. These wells have realized an 88% success rate and have led to the delineation of additional, lower risk, drill locations. Drilling flexibility, a deep target inventory and effective partner relationships help to expedite the most valuable opportunities and maintain the drilling campaign.In the future, production growth is anticipated through cost-effective developments of new and existing near-field opportunities, including the recently discovered Callater Field with first oil planned in 2017.Three case studies will illustrate: the importance of structural compartmentalization in under-developed fields; the opportunities remaining in mature fields as a result of historical field management practices; and the value of near and new field opportunities for extending field life.

Full textAbstract:
After carbonized at different temperatures, agricultural waste-rice-husk, becomes carbonized, which has further been modified at different pH values. Through some static tests, we studied the treatment efficiency for the wastewater--containing mechanical lubricants- by the carbonized rice husk at different amounts of carbonized rice husk, different treatment times and different processing temperatures. The results showed that the optimal carbonization temperature of the rice husk is around 500°C, and the pH modification’s impact was not notable. The optimal conditions of the treatment of wastewater containing 10% mechanical lubricant (volume percentage, made by Shell), were found at the amount of 6g/l carbonized rice husk, with the processing time of 15 min, and the temperature of 15°C. Under that condition, the oil removal rate could reach 88.38% and adsorption capacity of the carbonized rice husk is 22.32ml/g; however, when referring to Mobil (model: 20W-40), the oil removal rate could reach 94.24%, which is considerably superior to other kinds adsorbents. Treatment of oily wastewater by carbonized rice husk is in conformity with the second order kinetic equation, and the related coefficient is 0.9671; besides, the adsorption thermodynamic analysis shows that the adsorption process can be spontaneous at the low temperature, which therefore can be used for the oily waste water treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The MCM-41 was synthesized using CTAB as a template by sonochemical method and it was charactherized by FTIR, XRD, SAA, and TEM. Potasium was impregnated onto the MCM-41 using potasium acetate salt solution with K+ concentrations of 0.80, 1.35, 1.86, and 2.49 wt.% to produce K2O(1), K2O(2), K2O(3), and K2O(4)/MCM-41 catalysts. The K2O/MCM-41 catalysts were then analyzed by ICP and SAA. Acitivity of catalysts were evaluated in the transesterification reaction of used cooking oil at 50, 60, and 70°C for 120 min. The MCM-41 showed characteristic peaks of 2θ = 2-3°C. The TEM images showed ordered pore distribution with a hexagonal shape. The MCM-41 and K2O(4)/MCM-41 have spesific surface area of 1282.33 and 225.81 m2/g with pore diameter of 30.49 and 30.12 Å, respectively. The highest conversion of methyl ester was obtained from transesterification at 70°C using K2O(4)/MCM-41 catalyst and it was about 79.80 wt.%. Catalyst lifetime of the K2O(4)/MCM-41 for transesterification of used cooking oil was about 15.41 h.

The Mobil Oil Company introduced the first retail gift card that recorded value on a magnetic strip in 1995. In under a decade, such gift cards replaced apparel as the number one item sold during the Christmas season. This study will discuss the reasons for the strong surge in the gift card market. It will then consider the value of gift cards as an intermediate option between two alternatives: purchasing a physical gift, which could possibly be returned or exchanged, versus giving cash. Empirical data on the resale price of gift cards from an Internet auction website provide information on the value that recipients place on gift cards suggesting that the difference between the cost of a gift card to the giver and its value to the recipient is substantial, although perhaps not quite as large as the parallel gap involved in physical gifts.
