Ortiz Menendez E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Rios Rosas 21, 28003 Madrid, Spain. [email protected] Abstract. The main events of the history of petroleum in Spain are the following: 1) The mining concession of petroleum named El Progreso is the first one in Spain and occurred only seven years after Edwin Drake (1819-1880) drilled the first oil well in Pennsylvania. 2) The first survey of oil production in Spain, well known as the Tejon borehole, was conducted by the Sondeos de Huidobro Company in 1900, in Huidobro (Burgos), and reached 501 m of depth. 3) In 1964 CAMPSA and AMOSPAIN found petroleum in the Ayoluengo field (Burgos), with a borehole of 1,349 m of depth. This was the first and only petroleum field in the continental Spain in this zone. The Ayoluengo petroleum field has been active during 35 years. In this paper we will review the history of petroleum in peninsular Spain. 1. INTRODUCTION It has been historically known the existence of several oil evidences of solid, liquid and gaseous seeps in Spain. These evidences have guided the identification of areas that are favorable for the research of petroleum deposits.

A high-resolution daily gridded precipitation dataset was built from raw data of 12 858 observato- ries covering a period from 1950 to 2012 in peninsular Spain and 1971 to 2012 in Balearic and Canary islands. The original data were quality-controlled and gaps were filled on each day and location independently. Using the serially complete dataset, a grid with a 5 × 5 km spatial resolution was constructed by estimating daily pre- cipitation amounts and their corresponding uncertainty at each grid node. Daily precipitation estimations were compared to original observations to assess the quality of the gridded dataset. Four daily precipitation indices were computed to characterise the spatial distribution of daily precipitation and nine extreme precipitation in- dices were used to describe the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events.

  • Economics of Airport Operations(Pp
    Accepted manuscript. Not for distribution. Please quote as: Beria, P., Laurino, A., & Nadia Postorino, M. (2017). Low-Cost Carriers and Airports: A Complex Relationship. In The Economics of Airport Operations(pp. 361-386). Emerald Publishing Limited. Book series: Advances in Airline Economics Volume 6: “Economics of airport operations” CHAPTER 14 Low-cost carriers and airports: A complex relationship Paolo Beria*, Antonio Laurino and Maria Nadia Postorino *author contact information: [email protected] Abstract In the last decades, low-cost carriers have generated several changes in the air market for both passengers and airports. Mainly for regional airports, low-cost carriers have represented an important opportunity to improve their connectivity levels and passenger traffic. Furthermore, many regional airports have become key factors to regenerate the local economy by improving accessibility and stimulating several markets, such as tourism. However, the relationship between low-cost carriers and airports is rather complex and the outcomes not always predictable. In order to analyse and understand better such relationship and its outcomes, this chapter discusses the main underlying factors identified in: relation with the regional air market (secondary/primary airports), balance of power (dominated/non-dominated airports) and industrial organisation (bases/non-bases). Starting from the proposed Relative Closeness Index, which combines yearly airport passengers and distance between airport pairs, a large sample of European airports is analysed. Then, a smaller sub-sample – which includes selected, significant case studies referring to mid-sized airports – is discussed in detail. Among the main findings, airports sharing their catchment area with others are in a very risky position, due to the potential mobility of LCCs, while geographically isolated airports in good catchment areas can better counterbalance the power of carriers.

  • Presentación Metro Bilbao
    Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental de la Construcción y Explotación Metro Bilbao. 1987 - 2013 Antecedentes y Objetivos Han transcurrido ya 25 años desde el comienzo de las obras y 18 desde que Metro Bilbao inició su andadura y es evidente que el Metro ha supuesto un impacto individual y colectivo en el Área Metropolitana por razones muy diversas. De hecho, hoy es imposible concebirla sin Metro. Desde esta visión, Metro Bilbao desarrolló en el año 2003 su primer estudio de Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental con el objeto de conocer y cuantificar lo que había supuesto para Bizkaia y para la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi (CAE) en términos de generación de riqueza, empleo y desarrollo social desde el momento inicial de concepción del proyecto, hasta el ámbito de explotación y construcción en el que se encontraba en dicho momento. En los años 2004 y 2006, se realizaron sucesivas actualizaciones de dicha medición. En 2013 se ha realizado la última actualización, aprovechando la mayoría de edad del suburbano y los 25 años del inicio de las obras, así como el avanzado estado de la construcción de la estación de Kabiezes, en Santurtzi, que inaugurándose en 2014, permitirá dar por concluida la Línea 2 en los términos proyectados. Impacto económico, social y medioambiental. Metro Bilbao 1987-2013 Pág.2 Antecedentes y Objetivos Con ello se pretende : . Valorar el efecto económico (1) de la construcción (a 25 años de su inicio) y de la operación (18 años) a través de la generación de nuevas actividades y su aportación a la riqueza para Bizkaia y para la C.A.

  • The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
    HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N.
