The Oracle of Delphi was a priestess said to have gone into trances to reach God. These trances are thought today to be caused by ethylene, a natural gas, that seeped through cracks in the rock below the temple. More: continued here

When natural gas is cooled at normal pressure to about -260°F, it condenses into a liquid form known as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG takes up about one six hundredth the volume of gaseous natural gas making it very efficient to transport. When it is necessary to transport natural gas energy to stranded or mountainous destinations, shipping it as LNG …

Remember when Jed Clampett discovered that “bubblin’ crude” on the fanciful Beverly Hillbillies television show in the 1960’s? While being an entertaining show that spawned several spin-off ideas (think Green Acres and Petticoat Junction), it was not, however a realistic portrayal of the way entrepreneurial oil companies locate, acquire, and process the precious oil that is used in so many …

Hydrogen powered cars represent the leading edge of alternative fuel technology. The concept of a zero-emissions vehicle is something that environmental policies of many nations have set as a goal. Liquid hydrogen fuel represents one of the great hopes in the fulfillment of this policy. More: continued here

Natural gas is one of the world’s most important fossil fuels. The denotation of “fossil fuel” comes from the belief that most scientists share, that natural gas and other “fossil fuels” were formed from the remains of tiny sea animals and plants that perished 200-400 million years ago. Scientists believe that when these tiny organisms died, they sank to the …

Heating oil prices are increasing slowly, they are becoming more obvious as time goes by, and the prices will continue to go up and up until the fuels needed are burnt up. We need these fuels to produce heat and warmth in our homes, so where are heating oil prices headed? I will be discussing where I think that heat …

Because it can be stored indefinitely, natural gas is the most readily available of the fossil fuels. The exploration, production, and transportation of natural gas takes time. Often, when natural gas reaches its destination, it is not always needed immediately, so it is stored underground in large storage reservoirs strategically located all over the United States.
