The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) today announced it has finalized two Wind Energy Areas in the Gulf of Mexico that will have the potential to produce enough clean energy to power nearly 3 million homes. The post Move over, oil – wind energy is officially coming to the Gulf of Mexico appeared first on Electrek.
Meeting the goal of cutting US oil dependence depends largely on two things, Obama said: finding and producing more oil at home, and reducing dependence on oil with cleaner alternative fuels and greater efficiency. The Administration is pushing the oil industry to produce on leases already held.
Domestic crude oil production increases sharply in the AEO2014 Reference case, with annual growth averaging 0.8 While domestic crude oil production is projected to level off and then slowly decline after 2020 in the Reference case, natural gas production grows steadily, with a 56% increase between 2012 and 2040, when production reaches 37.6
Energy executives expect continued volatility in the price-per-barrel of oil for the remainder of the year, with 64% predicting crude prices to exceed $121 per barrel. Only 35% think current crude prices are near the high they expect for oil this year, predicting the peak will be between $111 and $120 per barrel.
The spill is a light crude oil with a low wax content (API-36). Shell said that is continuing work to stop the oil remaining in the flowline from leaking, and estimates that the current rate of leaking is less than 5 barrels a day. Shell estimates that volume on the surface, which changes from day to day, is about one tonne (approx.
Eni has released the 18 th edition of the World Oil, Gas and Renewables Review , the annual statistics report on oil, natural gas and renewables sources. The first volume of the report, the World Oil Review, is devoted to oil reserves, supply, demand, trade and prices with a special focus on crude oil quality and on refining industry.
These forces could snap offshore oil pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico and other hurricane-prone areas, the study suggests. The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) region provides nearly 30% of the United States oil supply and 20% of its natural gas. A hurricane might also create its own spills, the new research indicates.
More than three-fourths of all oil and gas production in the US Gulf of Mexico has a lower greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity than the basin-wide average, according to a new S&P Global Commodity Insights analysis. The share of production in the US Gulf of Mexico coming from deepwater has increased by approximately 14% over the past decade.

These vessels will be used to support Shell’s operations in the US Gulf of Mexico. Click to enlarge.
New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock.
The Keystone Pipeline System Phase 1 is delivering oil; the North Central Corridor, Groundbirch and Bison natural gas pipelines are all moving gas to market; Maine’s largest wind project—Kibby Wind—became fully operational in late October; and the Halton Hills Generating Station in Ontario began producing power in the fall of 2010.
This geographically diverse group comprises Brazil and Mexico in the Americas; South Africa and Nigeria in Africa; Egypt and Turkey in North Africa/Mediterranean; Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle East; as well as Thailand and Indonesia in Asia. Forecasts Fuel Efficiency Fuels Market Background Oil' —Outlook.
billion of final investment decisions on offshore wind projects in Europe. A continuing sharp decline in technology costs—particularly in solar but also in wind—meant that every dollar invested in renewable energy bought significantly more generating capacity in 2014. Additional to China, Brazil ($7.6 billion), India ($7.4
The AEO2019 Reference case also projects significant continued development of US shale and tight oil and natural gas resources, as well as continued growth in use of renewable resources. US energy export growth is driven largely by petroleum exports including crude oil and products, and by additional liquefied natural gas exports.
Variable-flow oil pump enhances efficiency. Piston-cooling oil jets contribute to optimal performance, efficiency and refinement. That helps ensure the oiling system maintains full pressure during extreme driving conditions. A die-cast aluminum oil pan contributes additional structural strength. turbo and Ecotec 1.5L
Situated a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Mexico on the windy South Texas coast, the process of carefully mating two halves of what amounts to a several hundred ton skyscraper will be far harder than it might seem. The tower’s guide rail-like structures are visible here running up and down the left beams. NASASpaceflight.com).
It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.
By raising fluid temperatures, parasitic losses resulting from high-viscosity engine oil and transmission fluid can be reduced, improving fuel efficiency by 1.7%. Extensive wind-tunnel testing honed the 2013 Ram 1500 exterior shape. The engine restarts automatically when the driver releases the brake, allowing seamless acceleration.
The sets of wires, called windings, arent connected, but through electromagnetic induction across the core, current transfers from one coil to the other. Adding power electronics could enable transformers to manage power flow in ways that conventional ones cannot, which could in turn aid in adding more solar and wind power.
It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy. Better Together.
1, cooled exhaust gas recirculation, wide authority cam phasers and a variable-displacement oil pump to make the most of performance and efficiency. Sculpted tail lamps were shaped in GM’s wind tunnel to minimize airflow disruption that adds drag, based on lessons engineers learned with the Chevrolet Impala. The new high-efficiency 1.5L
But the innovators hope that the boom in data centers—and in associated infrastructure such as new nuclear reactors and offshore wind farms , where each turbine foundation can use up to 7,500 cubic meters of concrete—may finally push green cement and concrete beyond labs, startups, and pilot plants.
Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. The second layer, a composite winding of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), provides for maximum strength.
Some of the places that have seen the most warming are the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Seaboard of the US, the most densely populated part of the world’s largest historical emitter. After all, in a hurricane, it’s not the wind that’s the most dangerous, it’s the water. That extra energy hasn’t been evenly distributed, either.
The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. United States’ Wind on the Wire The largest renewable-energy infrastructure project in U.S.
Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s. Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility.
The plan is an update of the Bureau of Land Management’s 2012 Western Solar Plan , which originally identified areas for solar development in six states – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. BLM’s proposal is a big step in the right direction and recognizes the key role solar plays in our energy economy.
Solar, Wind and Biofuels Grew 53 Percent in 2008 Green Education = Environmental Religion? Smart Grid City will easily support up to 1,000 easily dispatched distributed generation technologies including PHEVs, distributed batteries, solar and wind. Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil.
Florida legislature is about to ban offshore wind turbines in state waters, which wouldn’t be put there to begin with, to protect the beaches. Excluding hurricanes, of course, Florida doesn’t have sufficient wind power, either onshore or offshore, that, say, states in the US Northeast or Texas have to sustain a wind power industry.
Hurricane Helene spent the last week traveling through the Gulf of Mexico, eventually making landfall in Florida and leaving a swath of devastation as far north as Tennessee and North Carolina. After all, in a hurricane, it’s not the wind that’s the most dangerous, it’s the water.
Sure, it’s so hot in Mexico that monkeys are falling out of the trees dead from heatstroke, but as Barnaby would no doubt point out, they’re not koalas, and more importantly, they can’t vote. And because, just like Barnaby Loudvoice, he doesn’t actually believe climate change is real.
Environmentalists and industries resurrected the idea in recent years as a centerpiece of measures to address global warming and growing oil imports. states (Arizona, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) and four Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec). Representatives Henry A.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 75% do not think the country is doing enough to develop its own gas and oil resources. 49% said, when given the choice, that increasing the supply of oil by finding new sources is a better energy policy than reducing demand by cutting gas and oil consumption.
Since then, support for expanding production of oil and other traditional sources has increased among most demographic and political groups; the shift among Republicans has been particularly pronounced. Fully 89% of Republicans favor allowing more offshore oil and gas drilling while only half of Democrats agree.
