Society and the Environment-Petroleum (oil)?

1.What type of resource is Petroleum? natural/man-made etc.? Explain?
2.Is Petroleum a renewable or non renewable resource? Explain
3.Where is Petroleum (Oil&Gas) in Australia and in other countries?
4.Why do we need to make choices as to how Petroleum products are used? what are these choices?
5.How can we use petroleum products efficiently? examples?
6.When people manage resources they consider clever, innovative (enterprising) ways to use these resources to acheive the results that they want. What are some examples of enterprising ways of using petroleum products?
7.What choices are being made by people as to how petroleum proucts can be used carefully?
8.What affect does the price of petroleum have on household budget? How is that managed?
9.What might be some of the different forms of work in the petrol industry? (paid/unpaid,fulltime/parttime etc)
10.What goods and services are produced in the petrol industry?
11.What career might you have in the Petrol industry?

1. The American Petroleum Institute, in its Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), defines it as “a substance, generally liquid, occurring naturally in the earth and composed mainly of mixtures of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen with or without other nonmetallic elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.”
2. petroleum and natural gas are considered non-renewable resources, as they do not naturally re-form at a rate that makes the way we use them sustainable.
3.Petroleum is found in porous rock formations in the upper strata of some areas of the Earth’s crust. It consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, mostly alkanes, but may vary greatly in appearance and composition.
4.Since petroleum is a non-renewable resource, many people are worried about peak oil and eventual depletion in the near future. Due to its continual demand and consequent value, oil has been dubbed black gold.
5. dunno
6. Largest share of oil products is used as energy carriers: various grades of fuel oil and gasoline. Refineries also produce other chemicals, some of which are used in chemical processes to produce plastics and other useful materials.
7. dunno
8. High prices of petroleum can impact the household budget greatly because if you are used to spending so much on petroleum every week and then the price doubles, it will have a ripple effect on the other necessities. One way to manage it is to budget only a certain amount for petroleum and start using public transport, carpooling, cycling or walking. Good for the budget, and better on the environment.
9. Drilling for the oil, mudlogger (A mudlogger in the modern oil field is tasked primarily with gathering data and collecting samples during the drilling of a well. They then organize this information in the form of a graphic log, showing the data charted on a graphic representation of the wellbore), roughneck (roughneck is one of several roles in the hierarchy on an oil rig. A roughneck’s duties could include anything involved with the connecting and “tripping” of pipe down the well bore.), Derrickhand (Responsible for the “mud,” the water + barite + bentonite + chemical mixture used in drilling oil wells, and for catching samples. Also assumes the position in the derrick, usually 60 to 90 feet off the ground, while “tripping pipe.”) worm (Worm: Usually the lowest member of the drilling crew. Works the “break-out” or “back-up” tongs on the left side of the drilling floor).
10. Petroleum is used mostly, by volume, for producing fuel oil and petrol (gasoline), both important “primary energy” sources (IEA Key World Energy Statistics). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics

The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis (More Physics for Presidents) (Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality) $98.78 In this global wake-up call, nuclear physicist Jeff Eerkens explores remedies for the impending energy crisis, when oil and natural gas are depleted. The Nuclear Imperative demonstrates that solar, wind, and biomass power are incapable of supplying the enormous quantities of electricity and heat needed for manufacturing portable synthetic fuels to replace our current use of fossil fuels. It offers…
