Hubbert's 1962 prediction of US lower 48-state gas production, versus actual production through 2012. Hubbert also predicted that natural gas production would follow a logistic curve similar to that of oil. The graph shows actual gas production in blue compared to his predicted gas production for the United States in red, published in 1962.
Peak gas. Peak gas is the point in time when the maximum global natural gas (fossil gas) production rate will be reached, after which the rate of production will enter its terminal decline. [1] Although demand is peaking in the United States [2] and Europe, [3] it continues to rise globally due to consumers in Asia, [4] especially China.
In 2012, the United States produced 25.3 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas, with an average wellhead value of $2.66 per thousand cubic feet, for a total wellhead value of $67.3 billion. [2] In 2013, the country produced 30.0 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of marketed gas. [3] With 7,545 billion cubic feet (BCF), the leading gas-producing ...
Perfect gas. In physics and engineering, a perfect gas is a theoretical gas model that differs from real gases in specific ways that makes certain calculations easier to handle. In all perfect gas models, intermolecular forces are neglected. This means that one can neglect many complications that may arise from the Van der Waals forces.
During the first week of April 2024, California saw the biggest increase in the cost of gas compared to any other state. Gas prices rose $0.23 in California and $0.19 in Arizona. These changes are ...
Marcellus natural gas trend. The Marcellus natural gas trend is a large geographic area of prolific shale gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale or Marcellus Formation, of Devonian age, in the eastern United States. [2] The shale play encompasses 104,000 square miles and stretches across Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and into eastern Ohio ...
The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases. These macroscopic gas laws were found to be consistent with atomic and kinetic theory .
Past predictions 1880s-1940s "Petroleum consumption enormous", article in Tractor and Gas Engine Review, 1918. The idea that human use of petroleum faces sustainability limits attracted practical concern at least as early as the 1880s, as did the related idea that the timing of those limits depends on the extraction technology.
