A little history…. 1859 Colonel Drake first drilled for oil and found it in Titusville, PA. Previous to this, the only oil known were surface springs. Other wells were drilled and the oil was refined into kerosene. Oil was soon found in Ohio, Indiana, California and Texas.

What about Kentucky or Tennessee?

Oil in KY Well that didn’t really happen but there are oil fields in KY and TN! Largest in KY is Big Sinking, spanning Estille, Lee, Powell and Wolfe counties.

Current KY oil reserves

All good things must come to and end….. It looks like there is a lot left, but it won’t last very long. It takes about 11 years from the time an oil reserve is discovered until the oil reaches production. Also, the production of any energy resource has to be economically feasible; it can’t take more energy to get the energy produced than the energy itself produces. Q∞ denotes the amount of a resource available for all time, until it is exhausted

M.K. Hubbart: The Nostradomus of petroleum Predicted Q∞ to be 165 X 109 barrels of oil for the US in 1956, (this did not include Alaska). Much smaller value than his contemporaries and he predicted that US oil production would peak between 1966 and 1971 and then fall off, independent of anything the oil industry did. Not a popular prediction, but it rang true, US oil production peaked in 1970.

Oil production around the world

Petroleum: From the ground to your gas tank What comes out of the ground is not immediately useful It has to be treated, or refined, to produce useful fuels First step is fractional distillation This process separates the various petroleum based products.

Fractional Distillation The petroleum is heated to about 400 C which vaporizes it. The vapors are sent into a tower called a fractionating column. As they rise and cool different fuel products condense at different heights.

Further treatments What comes out of the distillation process is not quite ready for use yet. It still needs to be modified. For example: Gasoline needs octane added and tar needs heavy molecules removed from it.

Treatment processes Thermal cracking: The product is exposed to high temperatures and pressures which break heavy molecules into lighter ones. Catalytic conversion: petroleum vapor is passed over a alumina-silicate mixture or clay which creates a chemical reaction and adds octane to the gas Polymerization: light hydrocarbon molecules are joined and they produce heavier molecules. Natural gas is made into high octane fuels this way.

Alkane Hydrocarbons You have heard these names before: methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexne, heptane, octane. Methane and ethane are the main components of natural gas Propane and butane can be liquefied at fairly low pressures, and are well known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Pentane, nexane, heptane and octane are volatile liquids. They are used as fuels in internal combustion engines, as they vaporize easily on entry into the combustion chamber without forming droplets, which would impair the uniformity of the combustion. Methane Ethane

Natural gas Used since the 6th century BCE in China and Japan. They used bamboo pipes to carry it to lights. For the most part, it was considered an annoying by product of petroleum exploration and was often burned off of oil wells. 1821 Fredonia, New York. A pipe provided NG to 30 burners Development was slow due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure During and after WWII, its use became more widespread because it was inexpensive and pipelines were laid across the country.

Uses Power plants: gas turbines have a higher efficiency in converting the fuel to power than steam turbines (we will talk about these turbines later) . Plants are cheaper to build and more environmentally friendly. Transportation: Use is growing, but limited by range (need to store the fuel in the vehicle under high pressure and there is not a widespread distribution system).

Not the solution! Will not solve our energy problems Most comes from domestic production, as shipping is difficult. US has consumed 85% of its available natural gas and at the current rate of consumption, we have enough for about 30 years. Methane from coal beds can be used to produce natural gas, which will increase supply somewhat.
