Shell still must receive permits for individual wells, a hurdle that hinges on the company's oil spill response plan and the certification of its containment system, which is designed to capture
flowing liquid hydrocarbons in the event of a loss of well control.

In an article published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences titled «Solar photothermochemical alkane reverse combustion,» the researchers demonstrate that the one - step conversion of carbon dioxide and water into
liquid hydrocarbons and oxygen can be achieved in a photothermochemical
flow reactor operating at 180 to 200 C and pressures up to 6 atmospheres.
Instead of water,
liquid methane falls as rain, creates rivers that cut into the
hydrocarbon - rich surface, which in turn make valleys, and
flows into vast
liquid methane lakes.
Its calm seas and enormous sand dunes might remind you of Earth, until you learn that what's
flowing across Titan's surface is not water, but
liquid hydrocarbons.
The injection of the hydraulic fracturing fluids creates channels for
flow in the formations (often shale formations), allowing methane and other
hydrocarbon gases and
liquids in the formation to migrate to the production well.
The photothermocatalytic process for the synthesis of
hydrocarbons — including
liquid alkanes, aromatics, and oxygenates, with carbon numbers (Cn) up to C13 — ran in a
flow photoreactor operating at elevated temperatures (180 — 200 °C) and pressures (1 — 6 bar) using a 5 % cobalt on TiO2 catalyst and under UV irradiation.
