Oil is a liquid mineral resources, it can be good flammability, unit heat value than coal twice as powerful than coal cleaning, and easy transportation. Oil is now the world’s industrialized countries is not only a major source of energy, but also an important industrial raw material; not only an important military supplies, but also a normal daily life necessities. Indeed, it is the modern oil industry’s “blood.”
Oil is the driving force for high-quality fuel. 1 kg of oil combustion, can produce about 40 000 Joule heat. Modern industrial, defense, transportation, oil dependence is a great aircraft, automobiles, tractors, missiles, tanks, rockets and other high-speed, large power vehicles and weapons, mainly relying on petroleum products 11 petrol diesel and kerosene as a power source.
Oil can be extracted out from a variety of lubricants and greases. The lubricant into the machinery inside, can reduce the mechanical wear and tear, protect parts, extended service life.
Oil is still important chemical raw material. The daily life of people can not do without petroleum products. Some statistics, petroleum products over 5,000 kinds have penetrated into all spheres of human life. For example, the three synthetic materials: synthetic fiber, synthetic Dell Inspiron 1300 battery plastics, synthetic rubber, are using oil as raw material, through a series of chemical processing to produce products. Department stores, colorful plastic products, an array of chemical fiber clothing and blankets, are new contributions to the oil.
According to the British “Economist” magazine, the current global proven oil reserves of 138 billion tons, of which 65% of the reserves in the Middle East, this proportion increased slightly more than 10 years ago. In the remaining proven oil reserves in North America, Europe and Latin America each hold 8%, respectively, in Africa and Asia-Pacific region has 7% and 4%.
According to statistics, to 1998, proven oil reserves in the world top 5 countries in the Middle East, followed by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait and Iran. Which Saudi Arabia has proven oil reserves available up to 36.2 billion tons, according to the current production rate, the Middle East region has proven oil reserves can be mining 88. Formed by the Middle East oil-producing countries (OPEC) oil reserves to exploitation for 75 years.
In general, the formation of oil and gas reserves can not be estimated very accurately, because the large investment in geological exploration, and often to find oil and gas and mining profit only after 30 years. It is this very slow effective long-term projects, the global oil and gas reserves will always be just estimates.
Some energy experts say, as oil extraction technology can also increase the oil supply. Recoverable oil reserves of the general rate of 25%. Later, the people through the water or gas into the reservoir to maintain reservoir pressure, the oil reserves recoverable rate to 32%. This is called Lenovo 3000 G530 battery secondary recovery techniques. In addition, there is a recovery technology called three times, that is to steam or chemicals into the reservoir to reduce oil viscosity, allowing easy flow, increase recoverable rate. This technology is applicable with viscous oil. In individual cases, may take the rate of 80%. This technology as too expensive and not widely used at present.
