Prospecting

The techniques used in prospecting for and extracting limestone are similar to those for many other hard rocks and have been fully described elsewhere [4.1-4.4], This chapter, therefore, only seeks to give an appreciation of the processes involved. [Pg.26]

Limestone is extracted by both surface quarrying and under-ground mining operations. However, economic and safety considerations result in almost all limestone being extracted by quarrying, which also recovers a higher proportion of the rock. Some examples of successful limestone mines are given in section 4.3.7. [Pg.26]

A small tonnage of limestone is used in the production of dimension stone. The process is outlined in section 4.7. [Pg.26]

Before looking for a suitable deposit in the field, consideration needs to be given [Pg.26]

Where the proposed development includes cement/lime kilns, it is generally more economic to locate the kilns at the quarry, and transport the products to a remote market, than to site the kilns close to the market, and transport the greater tonnage of limestone to the kilns. [Pg.27]


For many years the development of refining processes and the formulation of gasolines has centered around the octane number. It is therefore appropriate to explain briefly what is the current situation and what are the prospects in this area. [Pg.192]

A second series of additives comprises those that improve the octane number (see Chapter 5). We will examine in succession the role played by these additives, substances currently used, and the future prospects concerning additives in this area. [Pg.349]

Future Prospects for Additives to Improve the Octane Number... [Pg.352]

Exploration activities are aimed at finding new volumes of hydrocarbons, thus replacing the volumes being produced. The success of a company s exploration efforts determines its prospects of remaining in business in the long term. [Pg.9]

Even if all of the elements described so far have been present within a sedimentary basin an accumulation will not necessarily be encountered. One of the crucial questions in prospect evaluation is about the timing of events. The deformation of strata into a suitable trap has to precede the maturation and migration of petroleum. The reservoir seal must have been intact throughout geologic time. If a leak occurred sometime in the past, the exploration well will only encounter small amounts of residual hydrocarbons. Conversely, a seal such as a fault may have developed early on in the field s history and prevented the migration of hydrocarbons into the structure. [Pg.14]

The objective of any exploration venture is to find new volumes of hydrocarbons at a low cost and in a short period of time. Exploration budgets are in direct competition with acquisition opportunities. If a company spends more money finding oil than it would have had to spend buying the equivalent amount in the market place there is little Incentive to continue exploration. Conversely, a company which manages to find new reserves at low cost has a significant competitive edge since it can afford more exploration, find and develop reservoirs more profitably, and can target and develop smaller prospects. [Pg.15]

The contractor is paid per foot drilled. Whilst this will provide an incentive to make hole quickly, the same risks are involved as in the turnkey contract. Footage contracts are often used for the section above the prospective reservoir where hole conditions are less crucial from an evaluation or production point of view. [Pg.62]

Growth faulted deltaic areas are highly prospective since they comprise of thick sections of good quality reservoir sands. Deltas usually overlay organic rich marine clays which can source the structures on maturation. Examples are the Niger, Baram or Mississippi Deltas. Clays, deposited within deltaic sequences may restrict the water expulsion during the rapid sedimentation / compaction. This can lead to the generation of overpressures. [Pg.82]

The volumetries of a field, along with the anticipated recovery factors, control the reserves in the field those hydrocarbons which will be produced in the future. The value of an oil or gas company lies predominantly in its hydrocarbon reserves which are used by shareholders and investors as one indication of the strength of the company, both at present and in the future. A reliable estimate of the reserves of a company is therefore important to the current value as well as the longer term prospects of an oil or gas company. [Pg.153]

Cases 3 and 4 are both exploration prospects, since the volumes of potential oil present are multiplied by a chance factor which represents the probability of there being oil there at all. For example, case 3 has an estimated probability of oil present of 65%, i.e. low risk of failure fo find oil (35%). However, even if there is oil present, the volume is small no greater than 130 MMstb. This would be a low risk, low reward prospect. [Pg.162]

Case 4 has a high risk of failure (85%) to find any oil, buf if there is oil there then the volume in place might be quite large (up to 400 MMstb). This would class as a high risk, high reward prospect. [Pg.162]

The estimated probabilities of each of these events occurring are multiplied together to estimate the POS, since they must a//occur simultaneously if a hydrocarbon accumulation is to be formed. If the POS is estimated at say 30%, then the probability of failure must be 70%, and the expectation curve for an exploration prospect may look as shown in figure 6.9. [Pg.164]

Introduction and Commercial Application JUe objective of performing appraisal activities on discovered accumulations is to reduce the uncertainty in the description of the hydrocarbon reservoir, and to provide information with which to make a decision on the next action. The next action may be, for example, to undertake more appraisal, to commence development, to stop activities, or to sell the prospect. In any case, the appraisal activity should lead to a decision which yields a greater value than the outcome of a decision made in the absence of the information from the appraisal. The improvement in the value of the action, given the appraisal information, should be greater than the cost of the appraisal activities, otherwise the appraisal effort is not worthwhile. [Pg.173]

So far, the economics of developing discovered fields has been discussed, and the sensitivity analysis introduced was concerned with variations in parameters such as reserves, capex, opex, oil price, and project timing. In these cases the risk of there being no hydrocarbon reserves was not mentioned, since it was assumed that a discovery had been made, and that there was at least some minimum amount of recoverable reserves (called proven reserves). This section will briefly consider how exploration prospects are economically evaluated. [Pg.327]

Recall a typical cumulative probability curve of reserves for an exploration prospect in which the probability of success (POS) is 30%. The success part of the probability axis can be divided into three equal bands, and the average reserves for each band is calculated to provide a low, medium and high estimate of reserves, //there are hydrocarbons present. [Pg.328]

We define the expected monetary value (EMV) of the exploration prospect as ... [Pg.328]

Lately, polymeric composite materials have found a wide recognition thanks to their unique qualities /1,2/. But use of the materials for construction, is limited, because lack of reliable diagnostic facilities. The non-destructive control method (NC), based on the acoustic emission phenomenon (AE), might offer a prospective solution to the situation. [Pg.83]

RCT are designed to successfully solve a whole number of tasks in nuclear power when testing fuel elements, in aviation and space industry when testing construction materials, nozzles and engine units, turbine blades and parts, in electromechanical industry-cables switching elements, electric motors in defense sphere- charges, equipment in prospecting for research of rock distribution and detection of precious stones in samples. [Pg.598]

Besides, because this probe is suitable for testing various artificial defects such as FBH, SDH, columned holes and cracks and its testing range is larger than ordinary one-transmitting-and-the-other-receiving double crystal creeping wave probe, we can conclude that this probe has a wide use value and prospect. [Pg.811]

In tire preceding example, tire stmcture of tire catalyst combined witli reactants and products was detennined and tire data were used to infer a cycle. Stmctures of tire highly reactive intennediates in catalysis are generally elusive and infonnation about tliem based only on inference. In prospect, tire most incisive infonnation about tire workings of a catalyst can be obtained by observations of tire catalyst in action. The following example illustrates this... [Pg.2708]

It is obvious that CSP depends, as does TDSCF, on the choice of coordinates. As pointed out in Sec. 2.2, numerical convenience often limits the choice of the coordinates. CSP may, however, offer practical prospects for the choice of physically optimal modes. The deviation of the true potential from CSP separability is given by ... [Pg.369]
