Sinopec acquire a stake of 49 percent, said Canada's sixth largest oil and gas company said on Monday. Together with the Chinese, they would form a joint venture. In the first quarter, Talisman promoted in the North Sea 89 000 barrels of oil daily.

Berlin natural gas cars and gas stations to meet very high safety standards and are a result of accidents as safe as gasoline and diesel vehicles. The strict requirements of the ADAC tested in various crash tests. The result: whether front or side impact, the gas tanks remain intact in their place, because they are protected by a sturdy metal cage. Vehicle gas analyzer - Version 4 or 5 gas design, durable. The most cost-effective solution.<br />

Even if natural gas escaping from a leaking tank, it immediately evaporates into the atmosphere because it is lighter than air. The case is different from LPG. The propane-butane mixture is heavier than air and spread after emerging from the ground slowly.<br />
The gas stations are subject to strict regulatory requirements, are regularly serviced and offer maximum security.

Netherlands and six from Denmark and Great Britain. Only 16 percent of<br />
the required amount of gas can be promoted within the country.<br />
Five pipelines that pass through Ukraine, two are directly determined<br />for the country and now from Russia have been taken from the grid. The<br />remaining three are still in operation and provide Western Europe. The<br />Ukraine yesterday dismissed the allegation, the two-country gas now<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />illegal in the three still working on pipelines. The largest German<br />importer of Russian natural gas, Wintershall, told however, that the<br />volumes which einträfen in the Federal Republic, would have been<br />significantly reduced. This was also confirmed by the Ruhrgas AG.<br />
"The supply of homes and the large consumers of natural gas is not at<br />risk," Wintershall spokesman Nicholas said the new evening paper.<br />"Most of our non-Russian gas comes via pipelines that pass through<br />Ukraine, but via the Yamal pipeline, which runs through Belarus and<br />Poland. And that is not affected," said New. Furthermore, Wintershall<br />have several suppliers and refer a lot of gas from the North Sea. "And<br />these contracts are so flexible that we can increase the quantities."<br />

This was confirmed by Heino Elfert, editor of<br />industry journal "Energy Information Service" (EID). "There is no<br />cause for panic," he told the Evening Gazette and also pointed to the<br />flexible delivery<br />
Also, the Hamburg-based supplier E.on Hanse Quickborn are you left.<br />"We have four suppliers and could fail if ever one should resort to<br />the other three," said spokeswoman Esther Seemann the evening paper.<br />The company also offers three fully stocked store in Brook Riding in<br />Hamburg, Mecklenburg Kraak and Ronne, near Kiel. "Even if all supplies<br />failed to materialize, we could provide our customers two months,"<br />said Sailor.<br />
The Netherlands' largest gas producer Gasunie assured that he could<br />provide additional supplies Germany. However, the price could increase<br />if the supply exceeded the contractual framework, said a company<br />spokesman. The Federation of German Industries (BDI) said that prices<br />could tighten during the gas dispute. Example, if Ukraine would<br />require a return to Russian supply stop future higher transit fees.<br />"There will be no price jump," said Wolf pluge however, chief<br />executive of the Federal Association of German Gas and Water.

<div>
28.7.2 Steam-Hydrocarbon Reforming<br />
This is also an endothermic process. The reaction takes place inside catalyst-filled furnace tubes. Heat is supplied to the tubes by furnace<br />
firing. Almost any hydrocarbon can be used—natural gas, propane, butane. The objective is to make hydrogen. Most of the world's hydrogen is produced in this way. Half the hydrogen comes from steam and the other half from hydrocarbons. All of the carbon in the feed is converted to CO2 and vented. How hydrogen powered <a href="http://cars.forsales.co.za/">cars for sale</a> will help global warming, I do not grasp.<br />
28.7.3 Alkylation<br />
This is a very exothermic reaction. Iso-butane and light olefines react to form iso-octane, a gasoline blending component with a 100 octane. That's where the word "octane" comes from. Reaction takes place at 50°F, in a liquid phase of either H2SO4 or HF acid.<br />
28.7.4 Polymerization<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This is an old process using a solid bed of phosphoric acid. Reaction takes place in the vapor phase. Feed is normally propylene. Products are hexane and nonane. Polymerization is a very exothermic process.<br />
28.7.5 Sweetening<br />
This is slightly exothermic process. Mercaptains are converted to disulfides by adding air. Catalyst is a blue powder (Merox), which impregnates a bed of charcoal saturated with caustic. Converting ( <a href="http://www.plantmachineryequipment.co.za/">Process Equipment </a>) mercaptains to disulfides reduces the bad smell of gasoline and jet<br />
fuel. The process takes place at about 100°F. Sulfur content of the product is not changed.<br />
28.7.6 White Oil Hydrogenation<br />
Motor oil is hydrotreated at 3000 psig and 450 to 650°F to remove all aromatic compounds by contact with hydrogen. The resulting white oil is used for baby oil, mineral oil, and ladies' cosmetics. The white oil costs $3 per gallon to make and is sold for $30 an ounce in<br />
face creams.<br />

<br />There were few takers of the 19th century elixir that came to be called "snake oil." It was one of the less successful uses of <b>petroleum</b>, but not the first to claim healing properties. Ancient Persians, 10th century Sumatrans and pre-Columbian Indians all believed that crude oil had medicinal benefits. Marco Polo found it used in the Caspian Sea region to treat camels for mange, and the first oil exported from Venezuela (in 1539) was intended as a gout treatment for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />The mysterious oil that sometimes seeped to the earth's surface had other uses as well. In Mesopotamia around 4000 B.C., bitumen - a tarry crude - was used as caulking for ships, a setting for jewels and mosaics, and an adhesive to secure weapon handles. Egyptians used it for embalming, and the walls of Babylon and the famed pyramids were held together with it. The Roman orator Cicero carried a crude-oil lamp. And, in North America, the Senecas and Iroquois used <b>crude oil </b>for body paint and for ceremonial fires.<br />Crude oil - as petroleum directly out of the ground is called - is a remarkably varied substance, both in its use and composition. It can be a straw-colored liquid or tar-black solid. Red, green and brown hues are not uncommon. The image of James Dean dripping with black oil from his Texas gusher in the 1956 movie "Giant" may have been compelling, but it's not descriptive of today's oil producers. For one thing, the days when a gusher signaled a big discovery are long gone. Since the 1930s, oil producers have used blowout preventers to stop gushers. In addition, not all <b>crude oils </b>behave in the Hollywood manner. Some flow about as well as cold peanut butter.<br />Until the late 19th century, an oil find often was met with disinterest or dismay. Pioneers who settled the American West dug wells to find water or brine, a source of salt; they were disappointed when they struck oil. ...</blockquote>

A joint Argentina-British Pan American Energy company has discovered a crude oil field in the southern province of Chubut, yielding an estimated 120 million barrels per year, local authorities said.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
"It's the biggest oil deposit [found in Argentina] in decades," Chubut Governor Mario das Neves told reporters in provincial capital Rawson, 1,450 kilometres south of Buenos Aires.<br />
He said the oil field was located in Chubu's central Escalante region, which years ago was uneventfully explored by US oil giant Amoco.<br />
