Company Profile:
The liquid that has percolated through the soil or other medium.
Industry:Energy
Undiscovered coal resources in beds that may reasonably be expected to exist in known mining districts under known geologic conditions. In general, hypothetical resources are in broad areas of coal fields where points of observation are absent and evidence is from distant outcrops, drillholes, or wells. Exploration that confirms their existence and better defines their quantity and quality would permit their reclassification as identified resources. Quantitative estimates are based on a broad knowledge of the geologic character of coalbed or region. Measurements of coal thickness are more than 6 miles apart. The assumption of continuity of coalbed is supported only by geologic evidence.
Industry:Energy
High-risk, high-profit facilities that operate, at least partially, at the whims of the market,as opposed to those facilities that are constructed with close cooperation of municipalities and have significant amounts of waste supply guaranteed.
Industry:Energy
An electrochemical battery that uses lead and lead oxide for electrodes and sulfuric acid for the electrolyte.
Industry:Energy
Coal deposits whose location, rank, quality, and quantity are known from geologic evidence supported by engineering measurements. Included are beds of bituminous coal and anthracite (14 or more inches thick) and beds of subbituminous coal andlignite (30 or more inches thick) that occur at depths to 6,000 feet.The existence and quantity of these beds have been delineated within specified degrees of geologic assurance as measured, indicated, or inferred. Also included are thinner and/or deeper beds that presently are being mined or for which there is evidence that they could be mined commercially.
Industry:Energy
MTBE (methyl tertiary butylether) production facilities primarily located within petrochemical plants rather than refineries. Production from these units is sold under contract or on the spot market to refiners or other gasoline blenders.
Industry:Energy
A fuel that contains more than0.05 gram of lead per gallon or more than 0.005 gram of phosphorus pergallon.
Industry:Energy
The component of operable capacity that is not in operation and not under active repair, but capable of being placed in operation within 30 days; and capacity not in operation but under active repair that can be completed within 90 days.
Industry:Energy
Oxygenate productionfacilities that are not associated with a petroleum refinery. Productionfrom these facilities is sold under contract or on the spot market torefiners or other gasoline blenders.
Industry:Energy
Gasoline having an antiknock index (R+M/2) greater than 90 and containing more than 0.05 grams of lead or 0.005 grams of phosphorus per gallon.
