Company Profile:
The process of burning natural gas in conjunction with another fuel to reduce air pollutants.
Industry:Energy
A contractual agreement under which a working interest owner (assignor) assigns a part of a working interest in a property to another party (the assignee) in exchange for which the assignee agrees to develope the property. The term may also be applied to an agreement under which an operator assigns fractional shares in production from a property to participants for cash considerations as a means of acquiring cash for developing the property.Under a "disproportionate cost" drilling arrangement, the participants normally pay a greater total share of costs than the total value of the fractional shares of the property received in the arrangement.
Industry:Energy
Coal quantities that are held in storage for future use and disposition. Note: When coal data are collected for a particular reporting period (month, quarter, or year), coal stocks are commonly measured as of the last day of this period.
Industry:Energy
The product of the average production per miner per hour at a mining operation and the average length of a production shift at the operation.
Industry:Energy
The production of electrical energy and another form of useful energy (such as heat or steam) through the sequential use of energy.
Industry:Energy
Coal quality data calculated to at heoretical basis in which no moisture is associated with the sample.This basis is determined by measuring the weight loss of a sample when its inherent moisture is driven off under controlled conditions of low temperature air-drying followed by heating to just above the boiling point of water (104 to 110 degrees Centigrade).
Industry:Energy
Coal sulphur occurs in three forms: organic, sulfate, and pyritic. Organic sulphur is an integral part of the coal matrix and cannot be removed by conventional physical separation. sulphate sulphur is usually negligible. Pyritic sulphur occurs as the minerals pyrite and marcasite; larger sizes generally can be removed by cleaning the coal.
Industry:Energy
The lowering of the water level of a reservoir as a result of withdrawing water.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the total production at a mining operation to the total direct labour hours worked at the operation.
Industry:Energy
A system using a common energy source to produce both electricity and steam for other uses, resulting in increased fuel efficiency.
