pressure in the well. This followed by the failure of the well blowout preventer. This is a valve which was designed to maintain consistent conditions of the well. Then the slurry cement which was used at the bottom of the well failed to contain hydrocarbon within the reservoir, which allows gas and liquids to flow up the production casing. At the same time BP and Tranocean accepted a negative pressure test which was incorrect and so integrity of the well was not established. Where there was supposed

Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………………………..7 5. Reference list…………………………………………………………………………………………………..8 Natural gas in US Natural gas is a form of energy, which is very clean, safe and the most useful energy in our regular lives. It is a hydrocarbon and made up of hydrogen and carbon. It can be found by itself or in association with oil in a big number of states including major production areas such as the Rocky Mountains, Louisiana, Texas and they both can be colourless and odourless. Natural

2011-39011 10 May 2014 ENG 10 C-5R Draft No. 2 Introduction Today, electricity has been a major necessity for people for it gives energy to almost all devices that make their works easier. But before electricity could be consumed to power a load or a certain device, it needs to travel long distances through the utilization of electrical power systems. Electrical Power Systems consists of mainly of generating stations, transmission lines and distribution systems. From the generating

(Afghanistan profile, 2014). Afghanistan has abundant natural resources. Afghanistan has abundant of coal, iron, chrome, copper and salt deposits. It has also have small deposits of uranium, silver and gold. Natural gas is the richest source of hydrocarbon in Afghanistan. Considerable amount of oil deposits are documented but not yet evaluated (Library of Congress , 2008). Afghanistan has experienced serious instability and turbulence in the modern era which is ruining the economy and infrastructure

Accident In the year 2010, BP experienced a Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster which involved gas release and subsequent explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. According to Webb (2010), the fire lasted for 36 hours and this was followed by leaking of hydrocarbon into the Gulf for eighty-seven days. BP admitted responsibility explaining that the accident occurred following loss of control related to pressure within the well blowouts in which a special type of is designed to keep constant pressure. Impacts

REVIEW D. Ryan Georgianna1 & Stephen P Mayfield1 . doi:10.1038/nature11479 Exploiting diversity and synthetic biology for the production of algal biofuels Modern life is intimately linked to the availability of fossil fuels, which continue to meet the world’s growing energy needs even though their use drives climate change, exhausts finite reserves and contributes to global political strife. Biofuels made from renewable resources could be a more sustainable alternative, particularly if sourced
