Appendix A: Oil and Gas NEI Sccs Appendix A: Oil and Gas NEI SCCs This Appendix provides a list SCCs that are considered representative of the oil and gas sector from the 2008 NEI point, nonpoint and nonroad mobile inventories. We removed these SCCs for counties where we used WRAP Phase III oil and gas emissions in the 2007v5 platform. This complete list of potential SCCs are provided in Table A-1. Many of these SCCs were not reported in the 2008 NEI –see column “Reported?” equals “N”. The complete list is provided here to aid in data reconciliation for future versions of the NEI that may have some SCCs not in the 2008 NEI. In addition, we did not remove the nonroad diesel vehicle SCC = 22700100100; these emissions are very small but potentially double-counted in the 2007 platform.

  • General Characteristics of the Petroleum Industry and Its Price Problems
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Price Research in the Steel and Petroleum Industries Volume Author/Editor: Committee on Price Research Volume Publisher: NBER Volume ISBN: 0-87014-189-9 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/unkn39-3 Publication Date: 1939 Chapter Title: General Characteristics of the Petroleum Industry and Its Price Problems Chapter Author: Committee on Price Research Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5803 Chapter pages in book: (p. 82 - 94) 82 PART TWO state at the outset some of the limits of our inquiry as we have conceived it. The industrial field covered is indicated in Chapter II. It might be summarily described as the whole sequence of processes from exploration for oil to the deliv- ery of refined petroleum products to consumers. Within this field we have conceived it to be our respon- sibility not only to canvass the available statistical data upon current prices and costs (Chapter III), but also to examine critically the meaning, adequacy and reliability of these data and to suggest ways in which they might well be supplemented (Chapter IV). As we understand it, we were not called upon to make detailed investigations or tests of existing price information to verify our judgment of its character. Much less was it within our conception of the assignment to attempt the assembly of any concrete data not now available. Nor were we charged with making new applications of such data as we now have. In Chapter V we confine ourselves simply to outlining certain projects of inquiry which in our judgment should prove fruitful, and the more fruitful so far as the statistics of the industry's operations are made more adequate and reliable by sup- plementing existing compilations along the lines suggested in Chapter IV.

  • The Petroleum Find: Its Possible Impact on the Agricultural Sector In
    TheLawson Petroleum et al: Petroleum find: Find: possible Its impact Possible on the agricultural Impact sector in on Ghana the Agricultural45 Sector in Ghana: The Role of Soil Science I. Y. D. Lawson*, S. G. K. Adiku and S. K. A. Danso Department of Soil Science, School of Agriculture, College of Basic and Applied Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The opportunities the petroleum industry present comes with challenges that Ghana needs not to overlook. It is globally accepted that petroleum find is usually associated with the economic situation dubbed “Dutch disease”, whereby, the over-expectation of rewards from oil revenues diminish the attention paid to other sectors of the economy. The paper examines the potential impacts of the petroleum discovery in Ghana on its agricultural sector and the role of soil science in minimizing adverse effects. The agricultural sector is likely to lose its recognition as the backbone of the economy due to the discovery of petroleum in commercial quantities and having recently been overtaken by the service sector. An impact of the oil find could be the high risk of the agricultural sector losing its potential labour force to the petroleum industry. There is also the fear of neglect of the agricultural sector in future similar to what happened in some countries that experienced petroleum boom. Oil spillage could pollute farmlands, and gas flaring without temperature or emission control could pollute the air and release unacceptably high levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. There could be resettlement of farming communities and farmlands because of the fear of spillage and destruction of lands by oil and gas operations.

  • EPA's Guide for Industrial Waste Management
    Guide for Industrial Waste Management Protecting Land Ground Water Surface Water Air Building Partnerships Introduction EPA’s Guide for Industrial Waste Management Introduction Welcome to EPA’s Guide for Industrial Waste Management. The pur- pose of the Guide is to provide facility managers, state and tribal regulators, and the interested public with recommendations and tools to better address the management of land-disposed, non-haz- ardous industrial wastes. The Guide can help facility managers make environmentally responsible decisions while working in partnership with state and tribal regulators and the public. It can serve as a handy implementation reference tool for regulators to complement existing programs and help address any gaps. The Guide can also help the public become more informed and more knowledgeable in addressing waste management issues in the community. In the Guide, you will find: • Considerations for siting industrial waste management units • Methods for characterizing waste constituents • Fact sheets and Web sites with information about individual waste constituents • Tools to assess risks that might be posed by the wastes • Principles for building stakeholder partnerships • Opportunities for waste minimization • Guidelines for safe unit design • Procedures for monitoring surface water, air, and ground water • Recommendations for closure and post-closure care Each year, approximately 7.6 billion tons of industrial solid waste are generated and disposed of at a broad spectrum of American industrial facilities. State, tribal, and some local governments have regulatory responsibility for ensuring proper management of these wastes, and their pro- grams vary considerably. In an effort to establish a common set of industrial waste management guidelines, EPA and state and tribal representatives came together in a partnership and developed the framework for this voluntary Guide.

  • Program Review
    Post-Audit Review For Occupational Programs Implemented Under the Provisions of Series 37 West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education Institution: _Pierpont Community & Technical College_ Program (Degree and Title): _CAS and AAS Petroleum Technology_ I. INTRODUCTION The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Petroleum Technology provides curriculum to prepare students for mid-level positions in the petroleum industry as technicians working in gas and oil production, gas transmission, field services, and drilling. This is a cooperative program with the West Virginia Petroleum Industry and WV Northern CC. General education and specific applied technical courses provide students with a variety of educational activities and experiences through lecture, discussion, learning activities and realistic hands-on laboratory assignments. Embedded within the AAS program is a 30 credit hour Certificate in Applied Science (CAS) degree, that is completed within the first two semesters of the AAS program. The programs attracts approximately double the number of non-tradition students when compared to traditional aged (less than 24) students. These open enrollment programs build teamwork and provide a learning environment that enhances future employment. In addition, students have the option of completing a paid summer internship with various West Virginia petroleum companies between their freshman and sophomore year, further enhancing their skills and knowledge in real-world workplace scenarios. Although the required wage minimum for an internship position is $10 an hours, wages have ranged from $11 to $16 an hour. The US DOL predicts from 2012-2022 a 15% growth in the field nationwide. Pierpont has a 2+2 articulation agreement with Alderson Broaddus (A-B), all 60 credit hours are accepted into the Petroleum Management program at A-B.

A wetland forest clearcut near Woodland, NC to feed a nearby Enviva wood pellet facility. SUMMARY AND KEY FINDINGS Each year, roughly 201,000 acres of forestland in North Carolina are clearcut to feed global markets for wood pellets, lumber, and other industrial forest products. Roughly 2.5 billion board feet of softwood and hardwood sawtimber are extracted annually, an amount equivalent to over 500,000 log truckloads.1 The climate impacts of this intensive activity are often ignored in climate policy discussions because of flawed greenhouse gas accounting and the misconception that the timber industry is carbon neutral. The reality, however, is that industrial logging and wood product manufacturing emit enormous quantities of greenhouse gases and have significantly depleted the amount of carbon sequestered and stored on the land.
