What is the current price of jet fuel supplied by Shell oil company
Numerous websites offer information about the price of oil in today's market. Nasdaq is a good source to check the current pricing of today's commodities because it has the most up to date information available for the investor.
A reserve is the amount of fossil fuel that can be extracted at a profit using current technology. A natural gas forms under similar conditions and often with oil.
As of September 1, 2012 the price of a barrel of oil is $96.48. To see the current price of a barrel of oil see the related link below, which gives the current price of oil.
Natural gas is used as a fuel in all of the refinery processes that feed high sulfur fuel oil. For instance a typical pathway for a raw rude oil might be the following: Atmospheric Distillation, Vacuum Distillation, Solvent Deasphalting, Visbreaking. The fuel oil is the heavy product of the visbreaker, which is final step in this particular process. The bottoms product from each of these refinery processes is sent to the next process where the oil increases in density and viscosity as "lighter" components (entrained gases, gasoline, diesel, gas oils, etc.) are removed. Each of these four processes requires its own process heater, which often burns natural gas as a fuel (natural gas is especially used in refineries in developed nations). While refinery "fuel gas," or gas removed from the crude oil, is used as a fuel in many of these heaters, some external supply of natural gas is often needed to supply the balance of energy needed to run these energy intensive processes.

Today´s (4 October 2008) price of standard 380cST Heavy Fuel Oil is around 140 Euro/ton.
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
Why did you capitalize "heavy"
The specific gravity of heavy fuel oil can vary, but it typically ranges from 0.95 to 1.03. It is important to consult specific fuel oil specifications or test data to determine the precise specific gravity of a particular heavy fuel oil sample.
No, water does not burn. Blending it would reduce the effectiveness of the fuel oil as a fuel.
That depends how heavy the heavy fuel is. A gallon is a unit of capacity. A metric ton is a unit of mass. The two units are therefore incompatible.
Fuel oil is a blend of heavy intermediate products in a refinery to make a heavy fuel oil. Lube oil is processed from intermediate products to make an oil used for the lubrication of mechanical parts such as car engines, turbines, etc.
The ignition point of heavy fuel oil typically ranges from 365°C to 400°C. This is the temperature at which the oil will start to combust in the presence of an ignition source.
heard of fatty acids in palm oil but not in marine heavy fuel.
