Since 2012, Amec Foster Wheeler has been providing project management consultancy services to Kuwait Oil Company for the Kuwait Environmental Remediation Programme. The programme involves remediating over 26 million cubic meters of oil-contaminated soil across a 114 square kilometer area damaged during the 1990 Gulf War. Amec Foster Wheeler developed a revised strategy to reduce the amount of contaminated soil disposed of in landfills through alternative remediation solutions like bioremediation. They also implemented robust traffic management and health and safety plans to transport contaminated materials safely and mitigate risks from Kuwait's high temperatures during excavation and remediation work.
The document discusses various improved oil recovery (IOR) techniques, including primary, supplemental, and enhanced recovery methods. It provides details on different stages of an oil field's lifecycle and approaches to classifying recovery techniques. A variety of specific IOR processes are also outlined, such as gas injection methods, modified waterflooding, and flow diversion technologies. The challenges of extracting resources from tight reservoirs, heavy oils, and unconventional sources like oil sands are also mentioned.
This document discusses Painted Pony Energy's position as a leading natural gas supplier in British Columbia for potential LNG exports to Asia. Key points:
- Painted Pony has a large, high-quality Montney gas asset base in BC that is well-positioned to supply proposed West Coast LNG export facilities.
- The company has increased production and reserves through continued development of its multi-layer Montney resource play, and is pursuing further growth through capital expenditures.
- Painted Pony utilizes cost-saving completion techniques and has a risk management strategy to hedge natural gas prices, supporting continued organic growth.

The site was contaminated with TPH and PAH from historical oil storage and handling. Soil removal and injection of ORC Advanced were used to remediate the source area and plume. Monitoring showed a 99% reduction in contaminant concentrations within 6 months, well below targets. The rapid and effective remediation allowed redevelopment of the site.
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is used mainly for heating, cooking and electricity generation; it also has other industrial uses.
There has been active LNG trade in the Pacific region for many years. However, the opening up of LNG regasification plants in the North American and European markets have provided a much larger consumer base for LNG producers. This increased customer base allows aggressive investment into better liquefaction technology, in turn, spurring more demand. As a result, LNG is rapidly becoming a major factor in natural gas trading after several decades of relative obscurity.
This document summarizes oil and gas activity in Asia, with a focus on China and South Korea. It discusses China's large oil and gas production and consumption, but also significant environmental issues from pollution. In response, China has taken actions like restricting companies and shutting down factories. In contrast, South Korea relies heavily on imports due to limited domestic resources, but has advanced refining capacity and made environmental protection a priority through policies and investment in clean energy.

The document describes improvements to the "oxo process" for producing oxygenated organic compounds from olefins using carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and a carbonylation catalyst. Specifically, it involves using a catalyst combination that is particularly effective for catalyzing the reaction. The oxo process typically involves three stages - an initial reaction of the olefin with carbon monoxide and hydrogen over a cobalt catalyst to produce aldehydes, removal of soluble metal compounds from the product, and then hydrogenation of the aldehydes to alcohols. The invention relates to improving the catalyst used in the first stage of the reaction.

Scientists at the Hohenstein Institute developed a new emergency cooling vest to prevent neurological damage for cardiac arrest patients. The vest uses textile cooling pads connected to a zeolite container that quickly cools the pads to near-freezing without electricity. This allows first responders to lower a patient's core body temperature on site to protect their brain. The self-sufficient cooling system provides a better chance of recovery than conventional methods that require transportation before cooling can begin. The vest has potential applications for cardiac arrest treatment anywhere help is needed.

Clean Harbors is partnering with Harbor Resource Management Corporation to introduce a new mobile process for economically treating oil-contaminated material. HRMC has developed this treatment system since 1996 and holds two patents. It has successfully treated dredged material in pilot and demonstration projects for New Jersey. The HRMC treatment process involves particle size separation and reduction, chemical oxidation for contaminant reduction, moisture removal, and rendering the treated material usable as fill using a scalable mobile system. Lab tests show the process reduces contaminants like SVOCs, liquid organics, and PCBs by 75-99%.
