DOE-sponsored study concludes billions of barrels of oil potentially recoverable from residual oil zones in US

Green Car Congress

The recently completed study, conducted by researchers at the University of Texas–Permian Basin (UTPB), is one of several FE-supported research projects providing insight that will help tap this resource. Residual oil zones (ROZs), are areas of immobile oil found below the oil-water contact of a reservoir.

New exhaust catalyst features thermal durability and high reactivity at low operating temperatures

Green Car Congress

In the catalytic process, rare metals such as platinum, are used in a chemical reaction to convert carbon monoxide and other pollutants to non-toxic carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water. The US Department of Energy has set a goal of removing 90% of harmful emissions at 150 degrees Celsius or lower.
