Technology—The Engine That Drives O&G Production




Industry Highlight: EVT's Voraxial O/W Separator
Enviro Voraxial Technology's (EVT's) voraxial separator is a continuous-flow machine that produces a high centrifugal force to separate liquid mixtures, or a combination of liquids and solids, by their specific gravity. It is very compact and energy requirements, compared to centrifugal devices, are low. Data are available in oilfield applications. An extended article about the Voraxial separator appears in World Oil's December issue.

DOE Highlight: EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2006 (Early Release) 
The Annual Energy Outlook presents a midterm forecast and analysis of US energy supply, demand, and prices through 2030. The projections are based on results from the Energy Information Administration's National Energy Modeling System. The AEO2006 Early Release includes the reference case. The full publication, to be released in early 2006, will include complete documentation and additional cases examining energy markets.

Solicitation for Low Impact Natural Gas and Oil (LINGO)
Proposals are sought for projects that will analyze the key factors and tradeoffs involved in minimizing adverse life cycle impacts while achieving economic production of oil and gas and will then produce plans for integrating state of the art technologies with innovative practices to achieve these environmental and economic results. Applications due February 28, 2006
