The similarities and differences in reservoir engineering in the geothermal and petroleum industries are not familiar to many. This unfamiliarity frequently leads to aberrant perception of the risks and rewards of geothermal development in the minds of developers and financiers who are accustomed to the petroleum industry but are new to geothermal. This paper is a comparative survey of the stat...

Using DCC-GARCH and EGARCH model, this paper finds that since 1990, the relationship between crude oil prices and the US dollar index is time-varying, demonstrating a process of “very weak correlation—negative correlation—enhanced negative correlation—weakening negative correlation”, but the existing research does not provide enough reasonable explanation. Therefore, this paper proposed a “key ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN In Aalsmeer, a horticultural community near the main international airport in The Netherlands, a more than fourfold increase in the incidence of haematopoietic malignancies in young people was observed between 1980 and 1985. In a population based case-control study, the association with local environmental factors was investigated. PARTICIPANTS For each patient youn...

Floating roofs are widely used to store petroleum products with high volatility. This is to prevent the product loss and to ensure safe environment around the storage tanks. However, small number of researches were accomplished. These researches aim at study the design of the floating roof and the associated risks that it faces during operation. In an effort to compensate the lack of knowledge ...

The purpose of this study was to propose a conceptual model for technology transfer (TT) that houses several factors. These factors are believed to influence the processes’ effectiveness and guide the TT performance. In addition, this study aimed to explore TT performance and the relationship between TT government support, infrastructure, TT environment, and TT learning capability. Oil producti...

In the present study, the petroleum ether and alcoholic extract of Morinda citrifolia L. (Noni) leaves were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity. The alcoholic extract exhibited significant anti bacterial, antifungal activity, comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. The petroleum ether and alcoholic extract were evaluated for Anthelmintic activity...

/ Petroleum asphaltenes are defined as the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble but toluene soluble fraction of crude oils or petroleum residua. This operational definition is a consequence of the extremely complex structure of asphaltenes which consist of thousands of compounds containing highly aromatic cores, long chain aliphatic groups, heteroatoms (sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen) as well as trac...
