Company Profile:
Energy conversion technologies that harness the energy in tides, waves, and thermal gradients in the oceans.
Industry:Energy
The volume of lease condensate produced. Lease condensate volumes include only those volumes recovered from lease or field separation facilities.
Industry:Energy
A solar absorber surface that has high absorbtance at wavelengths corresponding to that of the solar spectrum and low emittance in the infrared range.
Industry:Energy
A limitation on one or more transmission elements that may be reached during normal or contingency system operations.
Industry:Energy
The process or technologies for producing energy by harnessing the temperature differences (thermal gradients) between ocean surface waters and that of ocean depths. Warm surface water is pumped through an evaporator containing a working fluid in a closed Rankine-cycle system. The vaporised fluid drives a turbine/generator.
Industry:Energy
The volume of natural gas withdrawn from reservoirs less (1) the volume returned to such reservoirs in cycling, repressuring of oil reservoirs, and conservation operations; less (2) shrinkage resulting from the removal of lease condensate; and less (3) nonhydrocarbon gases where they occur in sufficient quantity to render the gas unmarketable. Volumes of gas withdrawn from gas storage reservoirs and native gas, which has been transferred to the storage category, are not considered production. Flared and vented gas is also considered production. (This differs from "Marketed Production" which excludes flared and vented gas.)
Industry:Energy
A plant whose primary product is not electric power, but does generate electricity for its own use or for sale on the grid; for example, industrial combined heat and power plants.
Industry:Energy
A set of conductors, insulators, supporting structures, and associated equipment used to move large quantities of power at high voltage, usually over long distances between a generating or receiving point and major substations or delivery points.
Industry:Energy
A flammable liquid hydrocarbon found inpetroleum. Used as a standard to measure the anti-knock properties of motor fuel.
Industry:Energy
Production of natural gas liquids is classified as follows: *Contract Production. Natural gas liquids accruing to a company because of its ownership of liquids extraction facilities that it uses to extract liquids from gas belonging to others, thereby earning a portion of the resultant liquids. *Leasehold Production. Natural gas liquids produced, extracted, and credited to a company's interest. *Contract Reserves. Natural gas liquid reserves corresponding to the contract production defined above. *Leasehold Reserves. Natural gas liquid reserves corresponding to leasehold production defined above.
