¶ … Petroleum Hydrocarbon Power Plant in Texas
The petroleum industry is one of the most profitable industries across the globe since it involves domestic exploration, creation, and transportation of oil and gas. This process is usually carried out through a network of distribution facilities and systems that focus on exploration, production, and transportation of petroleum products. Given the potential success and profitability of this business, developing a petroleum hydrocarbon-based power plant is an attractive business opportunity. However, for economic reasons, there are relatively few places where petroleum products can be purchased, transported, and utilized.
A utility company is attempting to develop a petroleum hydrocarbon-based power plant in Texas given the attractiveness of the petroleum industry. The company's choice of Texas as a suitable location for its operations is influenced by the fact that Texas was the leading crude-oil state in the United States in 2014 ("Profile Overview," n.d.). During this period, Texas surpassed the production levels of crude oil and petroleum related products to an extent that it even exceeded those from the federal offshore areas. By the beginning of 2015, the 27 petroleum power plants in this state had more than 5.1 million barrels of...
Petroleum Companies through Agility Measurement The purpose of this paper is to evaluate petroleum firms and focus on their agility factors, after that a conclusion can be achieved that specifies which one of the firms are more agile as compared to the rest. In this paper, a questionnaire will be built which will help in analyzing the petroleum companies. The measurement of agility here will be dependent on four main
Regional Characteristics of Texas Among the fifty states which comprise the American Union as it stands today, it is perhaps Texas which has experienced the most tumultuous transition from unsettled frontier to the home of modern metropolises. While most neighboring states cling fiercely to identities forged during the Revolution, or even the Civil War, the state of Texas proudly proclaims its own superiority by flying six flags over its skies; honoring
As the term suggest, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been reduced to a liquid by cooling it to minus 161°C thereby eliminating oxygen, carbon dioxide and other unwanted components to achieve almost pure methane (Liquefied Natural Gas 2012). According to one LNG producer, "In the liquefaction process, impurities are removed from the gas before it is cooled. The cooling of natural gas to -162°C causes it
M., signaling you "to your desk, just like school." And other bells rang during the day signaling different duties and places to be. They didn't like people staying after 5 p.m. ("I once got reprimanded for staying until six") and worse yet, "paranoia was rampant," Pickens remembers (10). What really bothered him though was "the waste" and the fact that management would not listen or even give consideration to "alternative
Alternate Energy in Daily Life Imagine that you could travel in time, much like Doc Brown and Marty McFly in the movie Back to the Future. Suppose you traveled back to 1955 with the Doc and Marty and asked a resident of 1955 what the year 2011 would be like. Would he predict hybrid cars, or flying cars? Would he believe that the United States has a moon base -- or
The former might be, 'What specific...' [while] Less structure might be exemplified by: "Please respond to the following in your own words: I....'" (Dereshiwsky, 1999) in addition: adding some open-ended items such as these to a more traditionally scaled quantifiable survey, such as one with Likert-scaled attitudinal items, and/or "check/off" questions on demographic background variables, is a good way to make the survey "multimethod" in nature. This is because you'd
