  • Oil started out as a microscopic plant/animal as time goes by they store energy from the sun in their bodies 
  • As plants/animals become deeper with the effect of heat and pressure determines if it is a oil or natural gas.
  • Oil/Natural gas tends to migrate through tiny pores in rocks or some go alway through until they escaped.

By being squeezed out the sponge can be reused and used again.]]> 2017-05-04 17:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170014472 Economic benefits? 11909859 https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170016016 In reality, oil spills have no positive effect on anything. Although, oil companies argue that it has a positive effect because clean up gives people jobs. Even if we totally get the oil companies shut down, unfortunately, oil will still be on our planet. We use oil for things like cosmetics, foods, and all plastics. ]]> 2017-05-04 17:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170016016 World-wide usage? 845285 https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170016279 2015 we use about six million barrels of oil and liquid fuels per day. Which makes it out to be thirty five billion barrels a year. ]]> 2017-05-04 17:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170016279 Animals during oil spills 11909859 https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170017268 All animals are affected in some way when there is a oil spill. Mostly sea birds, dolphins, and sea otters are most damaged, because they need to come up for air.]]> 2017-05-04 18:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170017268 What oil is used for? 845285 https://padlet.com/11909859/x422hy3zoden/wish/170017521
  • We use oil for a lot 50% on gasoline, 40% on diesel,heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and the last 10% is used for residual fuel oil.

  • The united states has been using the most oil here lately, we consumed 18.5 million barrels in one day in 2012. That is 20% of the total oil usage in one day.

  • Before starting the process to extraction the oil from the ground, they clear the land.
  • Which means animal life, vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

  • The drilling will begin when the flow of oil is found

  • Find exact location 
  • Then a perforating gun is lowered into the well (a perforating gun is where it has explosive charges that helps the flow of oil 
  • Tube is ran down the hole to allow the oil to run up 
  • Final to seal the tubing a pacer is ran down the outside of the tube.

  • During the first 24 hours of oil spills the fumes are the most harmful causing respiratory problems . 
  • When fuel/oil is burned it goes into our ozone layer. 
  • When you run your car carbon dioxide comes out, and causes a greenhouse effect.
