  1. Section 7.3 – Energy from Petroleum and Natural Gas Digging Deeper pp. 754-760

  2. Digging Deeper petroleum (or crude oil): • an oily, flammable liquid, consisting of a variety of organic compounds, that is produced in sediments and sedimentary rocks during burial of organic matter; also called crude. Natural gas • consists mainly of a single organic compound, methane. (The chemical formula of methane is CH4.)

  3. source rocks: • sedimentary rocks (mudstone and shale), containing significant concentrations of organic matter, in which petroleum and natural gas are generated during burial of the deposits. seal: • an impermeable layer or mass of sedimentary rock that forms the convex upward top or roof of a petroleum reservoir. reservoir: • a large body of porous and permeable sedimentary rock that contains economically valuable petroleum and/or natural gas.

  4. Part C: Trends in Oil Production Table 1 (p.751) shows statistics for petroleum every 3-years from 1954 to 2008. • Construct a graph of United States (domestic) petroleum production, foreign petroleum imports, and petroleum consumption.

  5. Part C: Trends in Oil Production Analysis Questions – Helpful Hints • #1-3 use data (thousand barrels/day & years) in your answers • #5 USA production ÷ total consumption (round to whole number) • #6 total consumption÷ population (round to the thousandth position) • #7 (answer from 6) X (42 gallons) (round to the hundredth position)

  6. Part C: Trends in Oil Production Conclusion Paragraph(s) • Use the analysis questions to summarize and explain the data represented on your graph. • Basically write a sentence or two based on each question
