Sentences with phrase «gas out of a formation»

The head of his development team told me that Mitchell «wanted us to figure a way» to get the gas out of a formation called the Barnett Shale.

Not exact matches

Powerful radiation from supermassive black holes at the center of most large galaxies creates winds that can blow gas out of the galaxies, halting star formation.

In recent years, technological advancements have enabled firms to use horizontal, and not just vertical, drilling to exploit rock formations once out of reach, including the gas - rich Marcellus Shale formation across New York and Pennsylvania.

Some researchers have suggested that these gases might have been spewed out by the volcanic eruptions that produced the Siberian traps, a vast formation of volcanic rock produced by the most extensive eruptions in Earth's geological record.

He points out, however, that the EIA's most recent assessments of the total amount of gas that can be recovered from major shale gas areas, formations such as Marcellus and Texas's Barnett, have fallen rather than risen.

These strong stellar winds also carve out cavities in nearby clouds of gas and dust, and kickstart the formation of new stars.

Depleted oil and gas reservoirs and aquifers could leak hydrogen, and cycling — filling a storage site, pulling hydrogen out for use and refilling the site — can't be done more than once or twice a year to preserve the integrity of the rock formation, Lord said.

Although in the short term strong stellar winds through gas clouds can instigate star formation, in this case the gas blown out of the galaxy's inner regions will eventually strip the galaxy of the ingredients for future star growth.

Some astronomers have suggested that they formed suddenly out of collapsing gas clouds, but most suspect that the supermassive black holes grew after their initial formation.

The properties of the pores also determine how gas will flow out of the formation.

Fracking relies on the high - pressure injection of water, sand, and other chemicals to create microfractures in rock formations, thereby making it easier to draw out oil and gas.

Lagrange says the finding is consistent with a planet formation model known as core accretion in which the planet starts out as a rocky core that gravitationally acquires more matter from the surrounding swarm of dust and gas.

The explosions drive huge amounts of gas out of the galaxies and with most of the rest consumed in star formation, the galaxies soon run out of fuel.

«If you can't turn the well so it goes along the shale formation and a lot of the well is exposed to the gas, you can't get the gas out economically,» says Anthony Ingraffea, a hydraulic fracturing expert and professor of civil and environmental engineering at Cornell University.

In addition many theoretical studies of the formation of planetary systems out of contracting clouds of interstellar gas and dust imply that the birth of planets frequently if not inevitably accompanies the birth of stars.

One possibility called out by the authors would be icy comets bombarding Earth after formation and delivering their own distinct cocktail of compounds and gases to an existing atmosphere evolved from a solar source.

The two teams and others will continue to scour gas clouds for other complex organic molecules to fill out the picture of life formation.

In a review of the potential health impact of fracking, which involves the pumping of water and chemicals into dense shale formations to push out gas and oil, Public Health England (PHE) said any health impacts were likely to be minimal.

Therefore, high - resolution follow - up optical observations were performed by the Hubble Space Telescope to reveal «beads on a string» at the center of SpARCS1049 +56 which occur when, similar to a necklace, clumps of new star formation appear strung out like beads on filaments of hydrogen gas.

In the image accompanying this article, the velocity - distribution data indicates the formation of a Bose — Einstein condensate out of a gas of rubidium atoms.

In fact, the ring - like shape is the result of the gravitational disruption caused by a small intruder galaxy passing through a large one, compressing the interstellar gas and dust, and causing a wave of star formation wave to move out from the impact point like a ripple across the surface of a pond.

Researchers think these bubbles drag trails of relatively cooler gas (about 1 million degrees), and as the bubbles detach from the jets and drift farther out into the galaxy, the cooler gas trails become even cooler, becoming extremely cold (just slight above absolute zero), and rain back on the black hole as fuel for star formation.

The huge gas emissions — which flow out like the wings of a butterfly around the black holes — might be switching off star formation in the galaxy.

This would show the structure of the so - called «cosmic web» that galaxies are embedded inside, and how chemically enriched gases flow in and out of a galaxy to fuel star formation.

One study showed that the gas being stripped out included the cool, denser gas that is the source of continued star formation and so the galaxies appear to be dying from a lack of new stars being formed.

With bitters, digestive enzyme secretions are increased, helping to promote the complete breakdown of nutrients into their absorbable units, preventing gas formation when large molecules are acted upon by bacteria further down the small intestine.2, 11 The complete breakdown of proteins is particularly important, as the cross reactivity of immune cells between undigested protein molecules and intestinal cells plays an important role in the etiology of conditions such as celiac disease.15 Insulin and glucagon secretions are stimulated, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.3, 11 Many bitters formulations have been traditionally used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and it is interesting to point out that many naturally sweet substances are often paired with some bitterness in nature.4, 11 Herbalist Jim McDonald hypothesizes that our cravings for sweetness may mask cravings for bitterness for this reason.4

Four foot - long canisters fall out of the sky and crash - land in four locations: A silverback gorilla approaches a canister that sprays gas on him, he rushes away and is found with a dead bear with blood across its shoulders (we hear he snapped its neck and we see bloody slashes on his chest in the formation of a bear claw).

This means that instead of drilling gases out of the bottom of the planet, there is now a push to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the gases discarded by industry and transporting and injecting it into underground geological formations.

High - volume hydraulic fracturing has been combined with horizontal drilling over the past decade to force oil and natural gas out of shale and other tight geological formations by fracturing the rock with high - pressure injection of water, sand, and chemicals.

The problem is that natural gas is methane, a powerful greenhouse gas in its own right, and when you extract natural gas from shale formations, some of it inevitably leaks out.
