Recent Innovations In Oil And Gas By: Erik Blair | - Around 40 percent of coal generation facilities either don't fulfill the new United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) benchmarks of strong limitations on mercury, sulfur and NOx or are half a century or older. TThis paves the way to latest innovative developments in oil and gas technologies designed to replace coal manufacturing for United States energy consumers. Sooner or later Americans are going to turn in the direction of gas manufacturing simply because gas plants will be less c ...

Metal Workers Have Tough Jobs By: Art Gib | - In the industry of fabrication there are a lot of tough men that sweat out the work that goes on with metal. Metal is tough to work with and can wear anyone out. It is often very heavy, hot and dirty. Men who work with this often go home very black, hair all messed up from the sweat and they are worn out from lifting all of the heavy metal all day long.
One of the things that these men do with the metal all day is to grind on it. They use grinding wheels to grind the metal smooth. ... Tags:grinding media
Don't Speak Technical Jargon Outside Of Work By: Art Gib | - There is no question that there is a lot of areas in the industries that many of us do not understand. One of the reasons that this is the case is because we all talk about our industries that where work in industry jargon. That is, without question, one of the dumbest things that we all do.
Have you ever thought about the people that you are trying to talk to and how much they do not understand you and they do not care to. However, we are all excited about what we do for a living ... Tags:proppant
The Grinding Process Is Interesting By: Art Gib | - There are many industries in this country that make a lot of difference in the progress of the country and of our society. There is always a need for innovation and new processes to make things easier and faster to facilitate exploring new areas to improve and discover.
One of the industries that has improved, but maintained much of the same concepts over many years is that of grinding. In many processes there is a need to grind things for one reason or another.
Hydraulic Fracturing Used For Oil, Gas And Water Drilling By: Art Gib | - As oil, natural gas and other resource reservoirs are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, drilling and mining companies are increasingly turning to techniques such as hydraulic fracturing to stimulate or restore the rate at which raw materials are extracted from beneath hundreds or thousands of feet of rock and earth.
Hydraulic fracturing is a process in which an extremely high pressure stream of fluid is used to create or widen cracks in ground rock.
Industrial Grinders And How They Work By: Art Gib | - There are many types of grinders used for breaking down and mixing rough materials like ores, chemicals and paints in industrial and manufacturing processes. One of the most common types of grinders is called a ball mill. A ball mill has a cylindrical design and rotates on a horizontal axis. The cylinder is partially filled with whatever material needs to be ground and a specific grinding medium. Different materials can be used as grinding media, such as stainless steel balls, flint pebbles, and ... Tags:Grinding Media
Oil-coated Sands? By: Art Gib | - When drilling an oil well, one of the advances in technology has included the use of proppants. Proppants are sized particles mixed with fracturing fluid to hold fractures open following a hydraulic fracturing treatment. This allows the treatment to become more cost effective and longer lasting, enabling the reduction of environmentally damaging by-products and lessening the need for subsequent cleanups.
This can help bring the costs of fracturing oil sand fields and oil bearing ... Tags:proppant
Choosing The Correct Grinding Media By: Art Gib | - When an industrial powder is needed, it is normally made by running the material that is to be powered through a grinding machine. There it is mixed with different types of grinding media until it is powered. Once the powdering is complete, the media is sifted out of the powder and cleaned in preparation for future use.
Grinding media comes in many different types, depending on not just the kind of material that is going to be powdered, but also how many times it will be reused, ... Tags:grinding media
Hydraulic Fracturing And Proppants By: Art Gib | - I have an interest in geology, especially in mining and mineral extraction. In feeding that interest, I have come across a number of different methods, from old-style mining to high-tech hydraulic fracturing. I find the latter very interesting, due to the difficulty of the process as well as the means that have been developed to ensure that a well created in this manner remains viable.
I've always imagined a well shaft going straight down into a pocket of water or oil, where pi ... Tags:proppants
A Discussion On Enhanced Oil Recovery By: Art Gib | - We all know how valuable oil is globally and especially here in the United States. Every once in a while when gas prices soar do we really appreciate it, and what a luxury it is to have it so affordably. Times like this help us take a step back to consider alternative fuels or technologies. We also hear talk about tapping into other oil reserves such as Alaska or in our Oil Shale deposits that have been challenging to refine. One area that has certainly helps, is that of enhanced oil recover ... Tags:proppant
Insights To The Process Of Grinding By: Art Gib | - Grinding practice is a large and diverse area of manufacturing and tool making. It can produce very fine finishes and very accurate dimensions, or in large production volume it can also roughen the surface of metal quite rapidly. It is usually better suited to the machining of very hard materials than is "regular" machining in the past was the only practical way to machine such materials as hardened steels.
There are several types of grinding media available. The most appropriate ... Tags:grinding media
