  8. 6.1.1 Amount of oil to be produced and consumed • The World consumption of oil was some 74,500,000 barrels of oil per day in 2000 • What does this large number represent, and how can we relate to it?[What do 2 million Mac hamburgers look like?] • Some interesting figures follow by permission of Jim Woodfin, former Chair of the Sierra Club Turtle Coast Group, Melbourne FL (January, 2003 group meeting) http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/ 100124

  16. 6.1.2.1 Oil History – A chronology • Oil was first discovered in ancient times, and asphalt was used to caulk the seams of ships • 1814 First oil well in Caldwell, Ohio discovered oil instead of salt water; Darn! (:-((www.aoghs.org • 1829 Oil discovered in Burkesville KY; 50,000 bbls total; they wanted salt water − Why? Hint: foodhttp://www.fohbc.com/images/American%20Oil.pdf • 1850 Samuel Kerr distilled oil shale to produce oil • 1857 E. L. Drake hired to drill for industrial oil in Pennsylvania • 1866 First “gusher” in Texas • 1866 PA oil was about $6 a barrel (~$35, 2004; $73, 2010) • 1901 Lucas Spindletop “gusher” near Beaumont, Texas, and “Big Oil” began http://www.sjgs.com/history.html 100128

  17. 6.1.2 Old Oil Well Field in Pennsylvania • See http://www.greentechhistory.com/2009/08/gallery-the-worlds-first-oil-field/ for a 3-D photo; adjust browser photo width to match your eye spacing, stare at infinity, and watch the well pop into 3-D • There are perhaps 20 stereopticon slides at this site http://www.greentechhistory.com/2009/08/gallery-the-worlds-first-oil-field/

  18. 6.1.2.2 Oil History – A chronology • 1901 Oil found in Louisiana • 1905 Oil found in California • 1920 Chevron-Texaco prospecting in the Middle East • 1932 California Arabian Standard Oil Company found oil in Bahrain • 1938 SOCAL discovered oil at Damman, Kuwait • In the 1950s, oil and natural gas replaced coal due to the lower pollution and ease of use; natural gas predominated • Oil is produced mainly in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and US • Some important products are plastics, detergents, drugs, fertilizers, pesticides, explosives, paint rubber, epoxies, recording disks, Crayons • Known reserves will be economically gone in mid-21st century (2050) 090124

  19. 6.2 Oil Refining • Crude oil contains many compounds; not homogenous • Refining separates the various compounds by evaporation temperature (fractional distillation) • Conversion causes chemical changes to make a different product by recombining the molecular chains • Methane (CH4), 1 C; propane, 3C; butane, 4C; pentane, 5C; hexane, 6C; heptane, 7C; octane, 8C • Octane rating is percentage of octane mixed with heptane and determines pre-ignition point in a standard engine (knocking is bad for the engine) • See http://www.howstuffworks.com/oil-refining2.htm for a good animated drawing of distilling crude oil 090124

  20. The mixture contains many useful products that must be refined out of the crude oil Distillate fuel oil is “diesel” oil or home heating oil Gasoline, a complex mixture, is much of the barrel 6.2.1 Crude Oil is A Complex Mixture! http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter08.html 090124

  21. 6.2.9 Will Oil Shale Save Us? Colorado mined a lot in ~1970s before cheap oil returned From Peoples Gas briefing to FECC

  22. 6.3 Natural Gas (NG) History – A chronology • 6000-2000 yr BCE Gas seeps discovered in Iran • Marco Polo saw gas seeps in 1264 at Baku • "Eternal Fires of the Apsheron Peninsula“ http://www.sjgs.com/history.html#baku • 1659 Gas discovered in England • 1815 NG found in US while digging a well for salt brine • 1859 Fredonia Gas Light Co. formed (West New York) • 1860 Liquefied natural gas used as a portable fuel • 1885 Coffee roasted by NG and air flame • 1905 NG discovered in California • 1918 Texas well produced 70 million cubic feet of gas per day http://hearth.com/what/gashistory.html 090124

  23. 6.3.1 Natural Gas Heating Values Heat content affects the price(true of hot peppers, too! [see Scoville units]) Zerban and Nye, 1952 100124

  24. 6.3.2 Butane, Propane, Etc. Energy Densities Harder, 1982; Zerban and Nye, 1952 060115

  25. 6.4.1 Gas Turbine Peaking Systems such as Oleander Energy Plant at Cocoa FL • $200M, 650 MW peaking plant west of Cocoa near I-95 • Located close to gas pipeline and transmission lines • Five 150 MW aeroderivative gas turbines spin generators (derived from aircraft engines) • Muffled hot exhaust is directed straight up into the air • A more-efficient design would use heat recovery steam generators to cool the exhaust by making steam • That type of combined cycle plant would not qualify under the previous PURPA law, so that wasn’t built • PURPA was intended for solar and wind energy systems, but was written inadvertently such that other merchant plants could be licensed; “unintended consequences” 100128

  26. 6.4.2 Oleander Energy Plant -- 600 MW • 5 x 160 MW • The turbine is directly coupled to the generator and jointly turns at 3,600 RPM. The first four combustion turbines produce electricity at 18,000 volts before being “stepped up” in a transformer to 230,000 volts for transmission, while the 5th combustion turbine produces electricity at 18,000 volts before being “stepped up” in a transformer to 138,000 volts for transmission. Now owned by the Southern Company http://www.southerncompany.com/southernpower/pdfs/SP_Plant_Oleander.pdf http://www.constellation.com/generation/oleander.asp 090127

  27. 6.4.3 The Mighty Snow Natural Gas Engine This Snow engine ran on natural gas in a New Jersey water plant It produced 400hp, less than some SUVs It’s now in the Florida Flywheelers Museum near Ft. Meade, FL (Sorry, I could only get the right end in the photo) Photo by F. Leslie, 2003 Feb 24 thru 28, 2009 - 18th Annual Antique Engine & Tractor Show www.floridaflywheelers.org/

  30. 6.5.2 Estimated Natural Gas Reserves • Natural Gas in trillion cubic feet http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/25opec/sld015.htm 090127

  31. 6.6 Oil/Gas Transportation • LNG is vented at ~100 psi • NG is piped to customers at ~0.5 psi http://www.nkk.co.jp/en/jigyosho/tsu/text_02.html LNG Tankers http://www.ieagreen.org.uk/lngtank.jpg Oil Tanker http://www.kmss.no/www/01/wProd.nsf/AllWeb/14CE017B56B8367FC125694A006CE37D?OpenDocument 090127

  32. Conclusion: Oil & Natural Gas • Oil is an energy-dense liquid, easy to store and transport, and thus works well in vehicles • Many chemicals are made from oil, thus burning it may prevent a better, higher use for materials • Choices are made from the economics and cost of doing business; supply and demand sets prices • Natural gas is the feedstock for fertilizers, plastics, etc. • 97% of hydrogen is now made from natural gas • How can enough hydrogen be made to replace existing transportation fuels? 090127
