Oil shale exploitation dates back to the 17th Century [1] but yield and environmental problems have never allowed exploitation to compete with natural oil. As petroleum reserves decline, oil shales are becoming increasingly attractive as an alternative source of hydrocarbon fuel for three reasons. Firstly, vast resources, in excess of petroleum ...

As in the formal report of 1958, the hornfels were divided into two categories: one was a fine grained metamorphic sand shale that accounted for 86.3% of all the raw material, and the other was a fine grained metamorphic shale that accounted for 8.4% (Pei et al., 1958). Although the two kinds of hornfels can be visually distinguished, our ...

Introduction. Sand and gravel are used extensively in construction. In the preparation of concrete, for each tonne of cement, the building industry needs about six to seven times more tonnes of sand and gravel (USGS, 2013b). Thus, the world's use of aggregates for concrete can be estimated at 25.9 billion to 29.6 billion tonnes a year for 2012 alone.

The work was totally silent on Abakaliki Quarry as records from National Archives Enugu[25] indicated that the British Colonial authorities sourced large quantity of quarry products from Abakaliki juju hill shale/sedimentary and granite open excavation site. The quarry products were used for casting concrete barriers on rail lines, bridges and ...

54 non-metallic mines (27 limestone/shale quarries, 4 marble/marblelized limestone,2 silica quarries, 14 aggregate quarries, 1 dolomite quarry and 3 clay quarries, 1 sand & gravel, 1 volcanic tuff, 1 greywacke/pozzolan) 5 processing plants (2 gold processing plants, 2 nickel processing plants and 1 copper smelter plant)

The quarry plans are best managed by means of computer software which collects data both from the initial drilling programme and from the ongoing exploitation of the quarry as further data is made available from exposure of quarry faces and dusts made available from drilling for explosive charges.

This study investigates local residents' attitudes toward shale gas exploitation in China through interviews of 730 residents of Sichuan Province and explores determinants of their support or opposition. It is the first study in China to explore local residents' attitudes on this subject and we identify underlying factors contributing to ...

The exploitation of the coal and kerosene shale deposits in the Jamison and Megalong Valleys brought the Katoomba region to wider public notice than its earlier use as a stone quarry and began to establish it as a population centre. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, Katoomba was known principally as a coal-mining town.

The origin of quarry was traced to the colonial period when the British Colonial administrators 1900-1902 and upwards in a bid to put administrative infrastructure in place applied forced labour strategy and coerced the indigenous populace to provide them with lumps of stones cracked manually from the already existing surface shale/sedimentary ...

The furore that has arisen in the UK over induced microseismicity from 'fracking' for shale gas development, which has resulted in ground vibrations strong enough to be felt, requires the urgent development of an appropriate regulatory framework. We suggest that the existing regulatory limits applicable to quarry blasting (i.e. peak ground velocities (PGV) in the seismic wavefield incident ...

US Shale Oil Reserves . The Bakken Field in North Dakota and Montana is the largest producing shale oil reserve.   The field has layers of dense, oil-bearing rock about two miles underground. The field is roughly the size of West ia and, as of December 2012, produced 770,000 barrels of oil a day.

Positioned on the resource-rich ground of the original site, red shale brick uses native red shale mined from our on-site quarry guaranteeing consistent quality and processing integrity. Added to this native shale are water drawn from deep wells, filtered and tested regularly, and the finest sand from across the country to create red shale bricks.

The exploitation of Cieszyn Shale and Limestone played an important role in the first half of the 20th century. They were used for the production of lime and cement. ... The limestone quarry in PT ...

The new operation was proposed by Austral Bricks to replace the on-site quarry at its Bowral Brick Plant, which is expected to be exhausted within five years.. The clay and shale quarry would extract approximately 120,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of shale, weathered shale, brick clay and sandstone from a 51ha site near New Berrima, New South Wales for a period of 30 years, with a …

Numerical simulation of in situ exploitation of oil shale by injecting high-temperature steam 487 2.2. Mathematical model The THMC coupling mathematical model of in situ heating pyrolysis of oil shale by injection of superheated vapor is put forward through a set of equations.

The IEA sees shale gas as contributing about 14% to global gas production by 2035. However, the exploitation of fracking will involve a range of advantages and disadvantages ('credits and debits') that will fall disproportionately on different sections of British society. So it is necessary to _____ * Corresponding author.

Shale gas exploitation has become the main driving force of global natural gas production growth. According to the EIA evaluation in 2013, globally, shale gas was extremely rich, and technically recoverable shale gas resources were up to 206.56 × 10 12 m 3. Thus abundant shale gas resources laid a solid material foundation for the "shale gas ...

Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud." This composition places shale in a category of sedimentary rocks known as "mudstones." Shale is distinguished from other mudstones because it is fissile and laminated. "Laminated" means that the rock is ...

Life of the Quarry Men in the 19th Century One only has to look at an aerial photograph of Rossendale to see enormous holes cleaved out of the landscape, some of these holes are kilometres in scale. When one researches into the origin of these vast pits and discovers that they were stone quarries dug by hand and rudimentary tools a sense of awe ...

With shale oil reservoir pressure depletion and recovery of hydrocarbons from formations, the fracture apertures and conductivity are subject to reduction due to the interaction between stress effects and proppants. Suppose most of the proppants were concentrated in dominant fractures rather than sparsely allocated in the fracture network, the fracture conductivity would be less influenced by ...

Earth resources are the essential basis for an economy of a country and well-being of her citizens. Their exploitation is a key factor in economic growth and development of the nation, but one that can have serious negative environmental and socio-economic impacts. Therefore it is important to understand their origin/occurrence and exploitation in terms of environmental sustainability.
