A Cheaper Way to Draw Oil from Shale

And what corporate welfare is that?  Too many times ecoliberals repeat talking points and haven't the foggiest ides what they're talking about. 

Don't think of it as oil, think of it as representing $40 TRILLION in assets (@$50/barrel).  The liberal Congress has been doling out taxpayer money faster than Obama can beg China and Saudi Arabia to loan it. It's time our screwed up government allowed America to tap this resource and work its way out of debt.

More lying spam by vulvox's so-called president Neil Farbstein.
A company with no employees, but a president - go figure.

Neil spams tech websites with fraudulent claims of research. Nanothechnology, genetics, cold fusion - he's claimed it all.

Some would proclaim the above obvious solution to the HEATING THE SHALE problem as politically infessible, incorrect, and NOT DOABLE -- THAT IS A LOAD OF BUNK !!!!!!

The way this is implemented is the following:

1. The President declares an economic/energy state of emergancy.

2. Identify the largest contiguous area of shale anex it and create a millitary base over it.

3. Create better cannisters for the nuclear waste.
A. The largest diameter hole a standard oil rig can drill is 36 inches, so we do have plenty of room to build good a quality container for the waste.
B. Start with a steel pipe that the waste will go into, wrap the inside of the pipe with the new cerramic to guard against corrosion holes in the pipe that may occur over time.
Put an insulating layor over the outside of the steel pipe to avoid electrolysis with the lead layor.
Then wrap a large layor of lead over it to stop radiation from getting to the shale or oil.
Now wrap another thick layor of the cerramic over the lead.

Now you have very good protection against leakage of waste or radiation getting out.

4. Drill medium, 1/2 depth of the oil collection depth, holes at maximum width all over the shale field.

5. Drill many smaller angled holes at 3/4 depth crisscrossing the entire area and the wide holes.

6. Drill full depth holes that the oil will collect in and can be pumped from.

7. Now lower the new nuclear waste containers into the wide holes, there should be a bit of space around the outside of the containers.

8. Create an pouder aluminum alloy that will melt around the normal melting point of aluminum 1200 °F which is also how hot todays nuclear waste barrels are often reported to get.

9. Blow the aluminum pouder into the smaller 3/4 depth holes and around the waste containers, and continue to add as needed as the years pass !!!


This should do a VERY good job of transfering the heat of the nuclear wastes all over the shale site. The aluminum will melt and move into the shale and makes the best heat sinks so that should do the job very well.


DO NOT USE THIS OIL FOR DOMESTIC USE TRANSPORTATION !!!

Have the millitary use it, and use it for electricity production at oil burning electrical production plants and actively monitor any smoke emitions that may occure for radioactivity and adjust the production methods as needed to avoid exposure to radiation in the fuel.

There should not be any radiation in the fuel but it should be monitored anyway as production errors in the field may result in some rediation in the fuel and if any fuel has high amounts of radiation it should me disposed of in a deep well which is radiative naturally.

Shift all the oil that would normally be used by the military and for electricity production to transportation.


HOW DO YOU LIKE MY DESIGN ???

My name is Robert Mehlschau.

ANOTHER problem is that there is extensive ground water resources under the most promising shale area and schemes to tap the region include proprietor methods to freeze a layer very deep just above the ground water reservoir. This solution is potentially very expensive in terms of the energy budget for oil production.

I think creating a frozen layer for YEARS is too expensive and some other method should be devised like more active pumping of the oil collection holes, or actively pump the ground water out into other more publically useful reservoirs.

Perhaps plastic tarps could be placed in multiple sections over the entire area and apply suction to the collection wells to cause the oil to move through the shale cracks into the collection holes. I was thinking this might work well with my overall methodology because the higher heat would cause increased oil production so the added energy required would be a minor per gallon addition. One way or the other we need some better solution to protect the ground water in the area and increase the yield and shorten the initial 2 year time span before production begins.

All these problems taken together for the CONVENTIONAL METHODOLOGY indicate an extremely risky project concerning profitability and a positive energy budget.

BUT THE REWARDS FOR SUCCESS ARE TRULY MASSIVE, this is why I am very much against the conventional wrought and insist that we should move forward with the nuclear waste methodology immediately.

There is no legitimate reason not to use what I have proposed to solve this problem. The energy budget from my solution would be much more positive and the field would produce for many generations without additional large monetary inputs it is simply lazy and stupid not to at least make a good try at my plan !!!

I also think that my suggestion of using powdered aluminum could make the overall project quite a bit more economic but the idea only works because of the higher temps given off by the nuclear heat source powdered aluminum may not add any benefit for conventional electrical heaters. The idea may also not work even with my proposed heat source as the melting temps of aluminum may be a bit too high, perhaps a lower melting temp alloy could be devised, or perhaps a more complex canister is needed one which also incorporates the conventional electrical heaters so that the total amount of heat applied can be adjusted within a fairly wide range and initially taken much higher then the melting temps of aluminum just to get the aluminum well set throughout the shale and then lower the temps to ensure that the aluminum does not move beyond the shale area over time.

If the idea of applying suction to the area is actually feasible then in the beginning when the aluminum is first set into the shale, if possible, air pressure should be applied to push the aluminum down into the shale area.
