Lap top expectationsLap top expectationsIn class every dayOn desk when I ask you to be on it.
Otherwise, safely in bag on the floor.Cannot be on your desk unless we
are using it as a class.Use it at your desk and stay with the
class – no surfingCharging – before class starts, lap
tablesDon’t have it? Bookwork.
Distillation column at Distillation column at refineryrefinery
Purpose: to separate crude oil into different products based on length of hydrocarbon chains!
Valero refinery on the ship Valero refinery on the ship channel – what’s the channel – what’s the
tradeoff?tradeoff?
Why fossil fuels?Why fossil fuels?
Because fossil fuels contain Because fossil fuels contain hydrocarbons with lots of bondshydrocarbons with lots of bonds
What fuels are we using the What fuels are we using the most?most?Which are sustainable?Which are sustainable?
Houston is an energy city!Houston is an energy city!
Energy Corridor – international hub for companies
1/3 of all US oil and gas come through the Houston ship channel
45% of US oil is refined in Houston
OK, so how do we get it out OK, so how do we get it out of the ground?of the ground?

Finding the oilFinding the oil3D seismic imaging is like an 3D seismic imaging is like an ultrasoundultrasound
Drill to the oil, pump it outDrill to the oil, pump it outPrimary oil recovery: oil flows
into well because of gravity and pressure.

Secondary recovery: hydrocarbons Secondary recovery: hydrocarbons must be forced out by water (or must be forced out by water (or gases like COgases like CO22) to maintain ) to maintain pressure in the systempressure in the system

Interactive NotebookInteractive NotebookFracking Jan 20
The current oil Boom!The current oil Boom!2005 – Fracking technology makes
more reserves economically viable2011 – current boom explodes with
frackingUS crude output expected to crest
around 9.5 million barrels per day in 2016, then begin to decline in 2020. (7.5 million barrels/day projected through 2040)
Quick check – put the Quick check – put the following steps in order!following steps in order!A. Shale rock fractures releasing
petrochemicalsB. Borehole drilled vertically past water tableC. Natural gas and petroleum rises through
well back to surface and is collected in tanks.D. Propants keep fractures open and gas
flowingE. Fracking fluids sent down well under
pressureF. Horizontal drilling through shale layer
Check it! B, F, E, A, D, C
Check for understanding!Check for understanding!How does the chemistry of fossil fuels
make them great sources of energy?What technology is used to find oil
underground?What is the difference between drilling
and pumping oil?What is the difference between primary,
secondary and tertiary oil production?Why does fracking use so much water?Which is done in H-town: oil production
or refining?
