China Qaidam Oil Sands Proven

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 14, 2010

Lab tests conducted by PetroChina of oil sands samples obtained in Yousha Mountains at Qaidam basin in northwest China determined that the resource is proven economically feasible for further exploration and development. But the report did not give any detail figure for the total reserve of the oil sands in the project.

SwRI, UTSA researchers show biochar is low-cost, effective method to treat fracking water

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 8, 2014

Flowback water treatment is a critical sustainability issue for the oil and gas industry. One to five million gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals are required for the fracking of each well. Using biochar could help oil and gas companies save money and responsibly treat flowback water for reuse.

In a pre-response to that speech, having successfully advocated for plug-in hybrids like the forthcoming Chevy Volt, we propose that the President follow that speech up with a “realistic and conservative” roadmap to halve our oil use in 10 years. Oil is holding us all hostage, economically and physically. Finally, it’s time to begin.

Building on LCFS policies already adopted in Europe, British Columbia, and California, the researchers looked at potential costs and benefits of reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 10 to 15 percent by 2030. Treat all crude oils as part of the overall pool of transportation fuels. We are not advocates.

So, hydraulics have been designed for decades in a way that when you dont want to pump oil, the pump itself goes to neutral but its still spinning at 2,000 RPM. There are other systems that are designed to send the oil back to a tank if its not needed to run a cylinder or motor, but the pump is still running at 2,000 RPM.
