Subjects : cset, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Heat - pressure - dearth of oxygen






2. Energy






3. Natural gas that flows to the surface from an underground reservoir when a well is dug.






4. Salt or cemented sandstone






5. A layer of cap rock that confines the oil and gas - must be impermeable.






6. 1 Therm = 100000 Btu






7. Peat - formed from plants.






8. Source rock under a reservoir bed - under a trap.






9. Unrefined mixture of methane - ethane - propane - and butane.






10. A layer of relatively porous and permeable rock in which the oil and gas coming up from the source rock can reside.






11. Refined natural gas that contains pure methane.






12. Marine shale - limestone - or oil shale






13. Natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid to store and transport.






14. 70%-90% methane - and small proportions of ethane - propane - and butane. Some carbon dioxide. Trace amounts of other gases.






15. Oil with little or no sulfur






16. Fuel for cars






17. Consist of clay - sand - water and bitumen - a type of oil.






18. The layer of sediment where oil and gas originate.






19. Fuel for trucks






20. Reserves that are not as well known or characterized as proved reserves






21. A mixture of hydrocarbons found in naturally occurring underground reservoirs






22. An emergency supply of crude oil created by the US government following the oil embargo of 1973-1974. Contains more than 700 million barrels.






23. An arch of stratified rock - an important geological feature that may be associated with reserves of oil - a type of structural trap.






24. Methane produced by the action of microorganisms on waste in landfills






25. Fuel for jets and tractors






26. Length of time US coal reserves are expected to last...






27. For heating - cooking - and making plastics






28. 125000 Btu per gallon






29. Phytoplankton and zooplankton that accumulated in marine sediments beginning 300 million years ago






30. Crude oil that contains a mixture of hydrocarbons that are relatively less dense






31. Natural gas that has been compressed and stored at very high pressure in strong containers.






32. Remaining oil is made more fluid so as to bring it up more easily. Brings up another 5-15% of the supply - but is much more costly.






33. Water or gas is injected into the reservoir to increase the pressure - bringing the oil to the surface. Begins when the oil no longer rises naturally to the surface. Accounts for 15-45% of the supply.






34. Intermediate between hard coal and peat






35. Cubic feet - volume - used when gas is at normal temperature and pressure - Dollars per volume in cubic feet - price






36. Soot - sulfur oxides - nitrogen oxides - mercury






37. Coal is converted to a gas - making it easier to remove impurities.






38. Raw material in the production of pain and fertilizer - steel - glass - paper - and other products.






39. Generate electricity - produce steel - plastics - synthetic fibers - fertilizers - and medicines






40. Sludge (rich in organic matter) that accumulates at the bottom of lakes or oceans






41. Soft coal - with the highest energy content






42. A type of sedimentary rock that - when heated - releases hydrocarbons.






43. Length of time global natural gas supply is expected to last.






44. For lubricating motors






45. Energy to raise the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree F at 1 atm.






46. The quantity of oil (or other energy resource) that exists and can be recovered under current operating and economic conditions.






47. An industrial fuel - also used to make petroleum products






48. Formed by changes in rock type or sedimentary features that create a space where hydrocarbons are confined by impermeable layers






49. Reserves that can reasonably be expected to exist based on geological evidence and projections from proved reserves.






50. A mixture of of hydrocarbons and organic compounds
