The oil filter elements are designed to collect as much of this detritus as possible without hindering free oil circulation through the engine (dirt = bad,
low oil flow = worse bad).
Not exact matches
Lance was not alone among the
oil CEOs looking to attract investors back to the spurned sector, with Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden saying Shell and the industry are working to achieve better shareholder returns through strong free cash
flow and
lower debt.
«While asset monetizations enhance our liquidity, sales of producing natural gas and
oil properties adversely affect the amount of cash

low natural gas prices..
Spooked investors afraid of Trump's trade war, slowing economy, technicals lagging, retails lagging, inventory too high, supplies too

If the
flow of capital continues, then the production surplus and

low.
Thanks to the
low - cost nature of those wells, the company expects to deliver 20 % compound annual production growth through 2019 while living within cash
flow around current
oil prices.
But the only thing that seems to cause shale drillers to reduce spending — and therefore production — is
lower oil prices, since the cash
flow from crude is their lifeblood.
By now, it should be obvious that the Saudis and their Gulf allies are playing the long game when it comes to the current
oil situation, and that means keeping the taps
flowing in the midst of a global glut no matter how
low prices go.
So while
low and negative interest rates across the globe has inspired
flows into stocks, emerging market bonds and corporate credit in search of higher yields, keep in mind the high correlations of these assets to
oil prices and the advantages of holding actual diversifiers in your portfolio to smooth the ride.
Shell
Oil has more excess profit at its disposal to fund future dividend growth than AT&T does (although AT&T is a non-cyclical stock that can rely upon steady cash flow from which to pay shareholders each year, whereas Royal Dutch Shell is an oil company that experiences low profits for 2 - 3 out of every ten due to the cyclical nature of oil and natural gas price

One could frame the debate in the advantages of using less fossil fuel, which range from
lower costs to people (an all electric car has operating costs about 1/4 that of a gasoline vehicle), to balance of payments (less capital
flowing out of the country, especially relevant to countries who import most of their
oil), to terrorism (not funding it, and western influence leaving the ME, which is the basis of most ME terrorist organizations) to conflict in general (most of the major conflicts in the last 30 years have involved ME
oil), to finite supply (when we run out, we'll be facing a global economic meltdown).
He adds that only few projects have been implemented and highlights the ones based on nitrogen injection to maintain pressure in the Cantarell and Ku - Maloob - Zaap complexes and the use of steam at Samaria Neogene to
lower the viscosity of extra-heavy
oil which allows it to
flow with more ease, plus some pilot tests with chemicals and gas fields.

Powered by a 104bhp 1.6 - litre Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, it uses a new injection system and turbocharger as well as enhanced air cooling and friction reduction measures including
low - friction piston ring coatings and a variable
flow oil pump.
The main reason for these new
low viscosity oils is fuel efficiency, the side effect is engineers have changed the
oiling systems on new cars in various ways that do not tolerate high viscosity oils, but could assume you are correct about reducing warm up time before
oil flows to all internal parts in the engine.
This has several key benefits including guaranteeing
oil flow even when the car is subjected to extreme lateral acceleration, preventing «
oil surge», which allows the engine to operate more efficiently while the lack of an
oil pan allows the engine mounted
lower,
lowering the car's center of gravity and improving handling.

In December 2014, BMW North America released a voluntary recall («Customer Care Package») relating to issues with timing chain stretch, fuel injectors, mass air
flow sensors, crankcase vent lines, battery, engine vacuum pump,
low pressure fuel sensor and revising the
oil service interval.
Specially designed grooves on the friction material which are integrated into the friction lining for
oil flow and cooling provide very
low losses at the clutch in the open state, enable high transmission efficiency and smooth shifting capability while increasing fuel economy.
The engine automatically increases
oil flow pressure as engine speeds or loads rise (and the compression ratio
lowers), ensuring optimum running temperatures at all times.
The cylinder head has a two - piece water jacket,
lowering exhaust gas temperature and effectively
lowering the combustion chamber temperature, while each piston individually features a cooling channel to provide increased
oil flow.
Low friction materials have also been used for the crankshaft
oil seals, and the
flow of lubricating
oil optimised, with
oil pump
flow reduced through the adoption of a variable discharge mechanism.
a higher
flow exhaust gas recirculation valve has been introduced and the adoption of a new
oil - cooled, variable nozzle turbocharger improves torque performance at
low speeds and cuts overall engine noise.
The engine also has a number of modifications to help minimize friction and optimize fuel economy: there are
low - friction bearings for the camshaft and balancer shafts, piston rings that have less pre-tension, and the
oil pump is a two - stage device with volumetric
flow regulation.
The new US locations provide some of the
lowest - cost
oil and natural gas in the United States, adding disproportionally larger free cash

Levi said
low oil prices can affect a long - term exploration strategy simply by crimping cash
flow:
Operators also repeatedly stop and start a pipe's

Fifty - two
oil companies have already filed for bankruptcy this year, and over one - third of the world's biggest
oil and gas companies could end up bankrupt in 2016 under stress from crushing debt loads (over US$ 150 billion) and lacklustre cash
flows depressed by
low oil prices, according to a recent study by Deloitte.

Last week, Canadian Natural Resources reported a second - quarter loss, cut its
oil projects budget for the fourth time this year and warned of
lower cash
flow because of the tax increase.
Moreover, energy from
oil and gas drilling is much less harmful to the environment — especially given the high usage of water, the unbearable
flow of life - killing nutrients into the Gulf of Mexico, and of course the negative impacts on gasoline and diesel engines from the added ethanol (and the
lower miles per gallon it delivers).
Fifty - two have filed for bankruptcy since 2015, and over a third of the world's biggest
oil and gas companies have crushing debt loads (over $ 150 billion) and cash
flows depressed by
low oil prices, according to the Deloitte Center for Energy Solutions and a recent study by As You Sow.
Some of the global dynamics, including
lower oil prices and slower growth coming out of China, could create some softening in the total volume of foreign capital
flowing to U.S. real estate in 2016.
