Petrobras makes ‘beautiful’ discovery and generates a new promising oil province
Brazil's Petrobras and its Indian partners have made a “beautiful” oil discovery off Brazil's northeast coast, Sergipe-Alagoas basin, and it will produce a minimum 100,000 barrels of petroleum a day starting in 2018, the company's CEO said on Friday. Read full article

Sep 28th, 2013 - 07:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You should know by now that I do not lie. Changing tags to obscure the facts is de-facto lying.
Good news for Brazil: if only the government would allow Petrobras to operate commercially instead of “supporting” the government and the stupid, stupid policies it comes up with that try to bend the market.
But Mr. Market will have his own back and it won't be long in coming.
How do we know that all these finds are not part of the same hole?
Sep 29th, 2013 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Deep underground and they are merely drilling at the next weak point,
But what do we know abt oil exploration,
All those puddles under the earth,
That they empty, to be replaced by what??
just interested like..
They wish thet could get 100,000 barrels of PETROLEUM per day out of an OIL well.

I always knew you were stupid but until now I did not realise that you were a cretin.
Oil deposits consist of a range of materials from heavy crude which is akin to heavy tar up to sweet light crude which can be mid-brown in colour with a low viscosity. They ALL have to be refined in a cracking tower (in a refinery) to extract the various grades of fuels and naphtha, etc. that are required.
The higher “fractions” as they are referred to are “spirits” such as PETROLEUM YOU IDIOT.
Lower fractions consist of diesel, kerosene (for Jet grades), etc. Without refineries the crude oil would be virtually useless.
What did you think (if you ever think) happened? The oil people looked for a “Diesel well” and were annoyed when they found a “Petroleum well”.
I have told you before you should not use the Hapatia tag; you do not have the mental capacity of the first woman recognised as a mathematician in Alexandria who taught men. You have just proved that.

In English, off the coast, means in the sea!
MP again.
You're Welcome, ChrisR.

This usage may only apply in American English and I do know that you English people refer to gas as 'petrol'.
Sep 30th, 2013 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0MercoPress is, of course, an American publication and uses American English. You should limit you comments to those subjects of which you have knowledge of.

Sep 30th, 2013 - 05:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you will find anything coming out of a well are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are refined into all sorts of products some of which are known as ( Petrol UK , and diesol UK ) what the US calls them heaven knows.

Once again you demonstrate your idiocy and mendacious nature. Just how much actually, hands on, knowledge do you have in the production end of the oil business? NONE if you other efforts are to go by.
I have worked on Shell and Chevron refineries in Nigeria as a terminal engineer and ALL oil men use the word CRUDE (or black crude) to describe what comes out of the wells. They don't use “hydrocarbons” or any other technically correct but long word, they use CRUDE.
BTW MP state “Comments must be in English”. Not Americano or the language you obviously use: GIBBERISH.
Be more polite, ChrisR. Brazil is building five new refineries. One them, Abreu e Lima will be inaugurated in February 2014

Hepatia lives in the USA, berates the USA, the UK and is a mendacious female.
She despoils the tag by her very being and takes great delight in lauding her nonsense over us. I take it you know who the real Hepatia was and what she means to intelligent females?
If you think my reply to her was impolite you are mistaken, it was very measured and understated in the circumstances I can assure you.

http://en.mercopress.com/2013/09/28/petrobras-makes-beautiful-discovery-and-generates-a-new-promising-oil-province#comment278114: Strictly speaking (i.e. what a geophysicist will say) what come out of an oil well is 'petroleum'. Petroleum is composed of hydrocarbons in various fractions. Petroleum is refined into gasoline, kerosene and so on.
Sep 30th, 2013 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0However, in the non technical population, 'petroleum' is sometimes used instead of 'petroleum products' to include products such as gasoline, kerosene and so on.
@ 20 Hepatia
Oct 01st, 2013 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Geophysicists do NOT operate oil rigs, receiving terminals and refineries; basically, in general, they are not qualified to.
Their remit is to discover, tabulate and quantify the types of hydrocarbons in a find.
I am a professional electrical mechanical engineer with oil industry experience.
YOU have yet to tell me what YOUR qualifications in the oil industry are.
Please AMAZE me with your theoretical and practical knowledge in this industry instead of hanging onto the indefensible.
