What is the symbol for oil on a map's legend?
The symbols on a map legend alert the reader to various landmarks and natural resources in a country. The symbol for oil on a map's legend is an oil rig.
How are petroleum and natural gas obtained?
Very difficulty.. First you hire a geologist to look at areas and find what he thinks is a "play" or potential spot with oil. Then you hire a surveyor to come and perform seismic surveys to try and look underground. Think of it as a really big ultrasound machine. If they confirm oil then you program a well which is basically figuring out where to drill, how deep, how much angle, how big of a hole. Then you contact all the service companies and have them bid out their services. You obtain the necessary permits from the government. You bring in a drilling rig and "rig up" and begin drilling. Once you drill the well you call in the well loggers to test the well to see if it is a viable source of oil. If not your out your money... Tough luck. If it is You hire a completion rig and have them install the hardware necessary to get the oil out of the ground. run pipes from the well to a tank farm or refinery. sell your oil...
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
How do you get crude oil to surface?
Crude oil is currently removed as "primary recovery", "secondary recovery", and tertiary recovery" In Primary Recovery, all that is required is to sink a well into the reservoir and the pressure of the material above it will force the oil up the well pipe. This is the type of recovery associated with the "gusher well". Even if a well isn't a gusher, it can still be pumped up from the reservoir until the pressure drops too low. In Secondary Recovery, the pressure in the well is increased by injecting something into the well such as steam, liquid water, natural gas, air or carbon dioxide. The injection occurs at the edge and/or bottom of the reservoir so as to cause the pressure to force the oil ahead of it towards the recovery well bore. Depending on what is injected, the injected material can also lower the viscosity of the oil and aid it in migrating towards the recovery well bore (which would actually be more a tertiary recovery method), but if the main purpose of injection is to boost the pressure, it is still considered secondary recovery. In Tertiary Recovery, materials are injected into the well mainly to alter the physical properties of the oil, especially the surface tension, in order to get the oil to not stick as much to the matrix of the reservoir and to move more easily through it towards the recovery well. When steam is injected, the heat lowers the viscosity of the oil to make it flow more easily. Surfactant solutions can also be injected to lower the surface tension of the oil. and un-stick it from the reservoir matrix. Carbon dioxide flooding both thins out the oil (lower viscosity) and lowers the surface tension. A newer method is bio-flooding where specially designed microbes are injected with the water. The microbes attack the heavier molecules in the oil and break them down into smaller molecules, which makes the oil less viscous, and incidentally of greater value - gasoline, which is mostly lower weight hydrocarbons, sells for more than tar and asphalt, which are higher weight hydrocarbons.
What is removed in oxidation of alcohol?
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.

What is the difference between and oil rig and an oil platform?
An oil rig is an oil platform or oil production platform. A drilling is different though.

Was there another oil spill in the Gulf?
A oil rig exploded on April 20, 2010 and oil gushed out for months before the hole was plugged. There was another oil rig explosion in the Gulf on September 2, 2010 when an oil rig exploded.
What is derrick?

Are oil rigs and oil platforms the same thing?
Yes. An oil rig and an oil production platform are the same thing.A drilling rig is different though.
