you don;t, that is probably the worst place to build one because of the pollution it would cause to the ocean and marine animals.

That's wrong because it assumes the refinery will be built and run badly, whereas they are normally subject to stringent laws; and while mistakes and accidents in any man-made system can and do occur, the owners do take every precaution to minimise the risks. Refineries are by the sea because many oil and gas reserves are under the sea-bed, and much of the world's oil trade depends on sea transport by pipe or ship.

What is well stream fluid?

well stream fluid is a term used in oil field engineering.lets consider about the offshore oil field. If the oil reservoir is there beneath the sea bed, then the seabed is drilled and then the pipes are inserted through the drilled sea bed. the fluid (in liquid form because natural gas comes out first) obtained when the pipe reaches the oil reservoir is called as the well stream fluid.


Is Brent crude oil the same as Bonny light oil?

No, Brent crude oil and Bonny Light oil are not the same. Brent crude is a benchmark for oil pricing and is sourced from the North Sea, while Bonny Light is a high-quality crude oil produced in Nigeria. Both are considered light, sweet crudes, but they come from different regions and have distinct characteristics that influence their market prices and uses.


Zero gauge pressure equals what pressure on the absolute pressure scale?

Zero (0) gauge pressure equals 14.696 PSI on the absolute scale. A lot of people will round up to 14.7 PSI for simplicity. 14.696 PSI is the pressure that is developed at sea level due to the weight of our atmosphere. The absolute pressure scale is based on zero being a perfect vacuum. Gauge pressure takes into account the atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.696 PSI). A simple conversion formula is PSIG+14.696=PSIA.


What is the function of evaporator in steam boiler?

An evaporator, distiller or distilling apparatus is a piece of ship's equipment used to produce fresh drinking water from sea water by distillation. As fresh water is bulky, may spoil in storage, and is an essential supply for any long voyage


What is the expansion ratio of lpg gas?

Of course it depends on the target pressure and temperature, so I don't have an exact answer, but I can show you how to make a good guess can form the density of liquid propane and the ideal gas law. The density of the liquid material at average sea-level atmospheric pressure and at its boiling temperature I have looked up and found to be 582 kg/m3. The gas at 25 C and average sea-level atmospheric pressure has a density of (moles*Molecular weight)/Volume = (Pressure*molecular weight)/(ideal gas constant*absolute temperature). Pressure = 1 atmosphere Molecular weight = 0.0441 kg/mole Ideal gas constant = [0.00008206 M3 Atm / K] Absolute temperature = 298.15 (i.e., 25 C) or density = 1 Atm * 0.0441 kg/mole / (0.00008206 M3 Atm /K * 298.15 K) = 1.8025 Kg/M3 Literature seems to say 1.8324 Kg/M3 (which is the same as g/L). This is simply because the ideal gas law is only an approximation -- this gas is close to it liquefaction point, so it is showing some discrepancy from ideal behavior. The expansion Ratio to get to standard conditions is therefore close to 582/1.80, or ~320

How does oil get from gulf of Mexico oil rigs to refinery?

If the rig is relatively close to the sea shore and is located on shallow waters, oil pipes running through the ocean floor are enough to transport the unrefined oil. Otherwise, oil tankers (huge ships with carrying capacity of 2 billion metric tons of oil) are used to transport the oil from the rig to the refinery.


Where do you get diesel fuel from?

You can buy diesel fuel from a filling station. The filling station gets it from an oil refinery. The oil refinery gets crude oil from a crude oil drilling company and produces lots of different products including diesel and gasoline fuels. The drilling company gets the crude oil from rocks deep down under the surface of the ground or under the sea bed.

Can be oil captured by sea oil skimmer reprocessed and used as drilled oil?

Oil on the sea surface will lose some of it lighter volatile components to the atmosphere (making it thicker and more tarry) however the collected residue can be processed in a refinery which can 'crack' the remaining hydrocarbons and produce some usable petrochemical products.


Why did the sea empress oil spil happen?

The Sea Empress oil tanker was on the way to the Texaco oil refinery when it became grounded on rocks at St. Ann's head, Milford Haven Waterway in Pembrokeshire, Wales on 15 February 1996. Over the course of a week, The Sea Empress spilt 73,000 tons of crude oil into the sea. The spill occurred within the Coast's National Park - one of Europe's most important and sensitive wildlife and marine conservation areas. It was Britain's 3rd largest oil spillage and the 12th largest in the world at the time.


Where does Sam Fisher go in Splinter Cell?

To a country called Georgia on the border with russia, the CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, an oil refinery on the Caspian sea, to the Chinese embassy in Burma (now called Mynmar), then back to Georgia again


What do you think can be done to develop the Oil industry?

Develop the oil industry with the introduction of giant-type robotics. By blending technologies we are abled to produce an underwater/ sea-submergeable drilling station with the possiblity of an onboard refinery. With the resources of 3 or more countries this can be made with the guarantee of transportability to move the operation as necessary.


What is off shore drilling?

In search of Fossil fuels, humans take to the sea. They build a platform in the sea, a mobile island if you will, and from there, they start drilling down in the sea floor, until they reach the oil bubble. This oil bubble gets emptied and the humans leave with their oil and their island.


How do you strain oil from a sea doo?

To strain oil from a Sea-Doo, first ensure the engine is cool and the watercraft is on a stable surface. Use a siphon pump or a turkey baster to remove the oil from the reservoir or oil tank. If you need to replace the oil, it's best to use the manufacturer's recommended oil type and filter, ensuring to dispose of the used oil properly. Always check your owner's manual for specific instructions related to your Sea-Doo model.


How does oil spills affect the organisms in the sea?

Oil contaminate and kills the sea. Oil is a toxin, which would kill the sea life in a matter of seconds.


Is oil available under the sea bed?

yes oil is available under the sea , theres lots of plates of oil under the sea bed


In an oil spill why does the oil not mix with the sea water?

Oil does not mix with water, not even salty sea water.
