6.0.1 Overview: Oil and Natural Gas
Petroleum or crude oil is a complex hydrocarbon mixture (mostly gasoline) that is refined to get its constituents or feedstock for chemical transformations
Oil (crude) and natural gas are often found in the same area, and thus are treated together in this presentation
Oil provides our principal transportation fuels of gasoline and diesel, while natural gas provides heating
Coal-to-liquids results in primarily gasoline-like fluids and is just mentioned here

6.1.1 Amount of oil to be produced and consumed
The World consumption of oil was some 74,500,000 barrels of oil per day in 2000
What does this large number represent, and how can we relate to it?[What do 2 million Mac hamburgers look like?]

6.1.2.1 Oil History – A chronology
Oil was first discovered in ancient times, and asphalt was used to caulk the seams of ships
1814 First oil well in Caldwell, Ohio discovered oil instead of salt water; Darn! (:-((www.aoghs.org
1829 Oil discovered in Burkesville KY; 50,000 bbls total; they wanted salt water − Why? Hint: foodhttp://www.fohbc.com/images/American%20Oil.pdf
1850 Samuel Kerr distilled oil shale to produce oil 1857 E. L. Drake hired to drill for industrial oil in
Pennsylvania 1866 First “gusher” in Texas 1866 PA oil was about $6 a barrel (~$35, 2004; $73, 2010) 1901 Lucas Spindletop “gusher” near Beaumont, Texas,
and “Big Oil” began

6.1.2.2 Oil History – A chronology
1901 Oil found in Louisiana 1905 Oil found in California 1920 Chevron-Texaco prospecting in the Middle East 1932 California Arabian Standard Oil Company found oil in
Bahrain 1938 SOCAL discovered oil at Damman, Kuwait In the 1950s, oil and natural gas replaced coal due to the
lower pollution and ease of use; natural gas predominated Oil is produced mainly in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and US Some important products are plastics, detergents, drugs,
fertilizers, pesticides, explosives, paint rubber, epoxies, recording disks, Crayons
Known reserves will be economically gone in mid-21st century (2050)

6.2 Oil Refining
Crude oil contains many compounds; not homogenousRefining separates the various compounds by
evaporation temperature (fractional distillation)Conversion causes chemical changes to make a
different product by recombining the molecular chainsMethane (CH4), 1 C; propane, 3C; butane, 4C;
pentane, 5C; hexane, 6C; heptane, 7C; octane, 8COctane rating is percentage of octane mixed with
heptane and determines pre-ignition point in a standard engine (knocking is bad for the engine)
See http://www.howstuffworks.com/oil-refining2.htm for a good animated drawing of distilling crude oil
090124
6.2.1 Crude Oil is A Complex Mixture!
The mixture contains many useful products that must be refined out of the crude oil
Distillate fuel oil is “diesel” oil or home heating oil
Gasoline, a complex mixture, is much of the barrel

6.2.9 Will Oil Shale Save Us?
From Peoples Gas briefing to FECCColorado mined a lot in ~1970s before cheap oil returned
6.3 Natural Gas (NG) History – A chronology
6000-2000 yr BCE Gas seeps discovered in IranMarco Polo saw gas seeps in 1264 at Baku
"Eternal Fires of the Apsheron Peninsula“ http://www.sjgs.com/history.html#baku
1659 Gas discovered in England1815 NG found in US while digging a well for salt
brine1859 Fredonia Gas Light Co. formed (West New York)1860 Liquefied natural gas used as a portable fuel1885 Coffee roasted by NG and air flame1905 NG discovered in California1918 Texas well produced 70 million cubic feet of gas
per day

6.4.1 Gas Turbine Peaking Systemssuch as Oleander Energy Plant at Cocoa FL
$200M, 650 MW peaking plant west of Cocoa near I-95Located close to gas pipeline and transmission linesFive 150 MW aeroderivative gas turbines spin generators
(derived from aircraft engines)Muffled hot exhaust is directed straight up into the airA more-efficient design would use heat recovery steam
generators to cool the exhaust by making steamThat type of combined cycle plant would not qualify
under the previous PURPA law, so that wasn’t builtPURPA was intended for solar and wind energy systems,
but was written inadvertently such that other merchant plants could be licensed; “unintended consequences”

6.4.2 Oleander Energy Plant -- 600 MW
090127
http://www.constellation.com/generation/oleander.asp
Now owned by the Southern Company
http://www.southerncompany.com/southernpower/pdfs/SP_Plant_Oleander.pdf
5 x 160 MW The turbine is directly
coupled to the generator and jointly turns at 3,600 RPM. The first four combustion turbines produce electricity at 18,000 volts before being “stepped up” in a transformer to 230,000 volts for transmission, while the 5th combustion turbine produces electricity at 18,000 volts before being “stepped up” in a transformer to 138,000 volts for transmission.

This Snow engine ran on natural gas in a New Jersey water plant
It produced 400hp, less than some SUVs
It’s now in the Florida Flywheelers Museum near Ft. Meade, FL

Conclusion: Oil & Natural Gas
Oil is an energy-dense liquid, easy to store and transport, and thus works well in vehicles
Many chemicals are made from oil, thus burning it may prevent a better, higher use for materials
Choices are made from the economics and cost of doing business; supply and demand sets prices
Natural gas is the feedstock for fertilizers, plastics, etc.97% of hydrogen is now made from natural
gasHow can enough hydrogen be made to replace
existing transportation fuels?090127
