Final report to the President on oil supply shortages during 1979

Description: Stockpile levels at the beginning of 1979, imports during the first half of the year, and inventory management were primarily responsible for the oil supply shortage in the spring and summer of 1979. There was a 3.1% reduction in oil supply in May to July of 1979 relative to the same period in 1978, and a 0.2% reduction relative to 1977. The reduction in available oil between 1979 and previous years was even greater than the reduction in supply. Domestic production of crude oil declined between… more

Gas evolution from geopressured brines

Description: The process of gas evolution from geopressured brine is examined using as a basis the many past studies of gas evolution from liquids in porous media. A discussion of a number of speculations that have been made concerning gas evolution from geopressured brines is provided. According to one, rapid pressure reduction will cause methane gas to evolve as when one opens a champagne bottle. It has been further speculated that evolved methane gas would migrate up to form an easily producible cap. As … more

Application of analytical electron microscopy to the study of intergranular corrosion in 304 stainless steel

Description: The technique of analytical electron microscopy in a scanning transmission electron microscope fitted with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer is used to measure the chromium depletion in sensitized 304 stainless steel along the grain boundaries. It is shown that such measurements could be misleading unless care is taken to properly choose the regions on the grain boundaries for such analysis.

Refocused energy policy: a natural gas perspective

Description: The present administration's policy on energy development is briefly summarized. While the Department of Energy will be dismantled, several important functions will be preserved and will continue elsewhere in government. The administration's aim is not to present an energy blueprint to predetermine energy solutions, rather, policy is based on the belief that the marketplace must be allowed to determine the most economic and durable energy sources. Revision of the federal leasing policy is discu… more
