Oil production in the 21st century: recent innovations in underground imaging, steerable drilling and deepwater oil production could recover more of what lies below

Article Abstract:

Oil exploration and production in the 21st century is bound to be driven by new innovations in tracking oil. These innovations include the 3-D seismic analysis, pumping natural gas, steam or liquid carbon dioxide into dead as well as directional drilling and seafloor facilities.

Chaotic climate

Article Abstract:

The Earth is subjected to a periodic climate shift that occurs every several thousands of years. This shift in global temperature is caused by several factors, such as the circulation of heat and salt through the world's oceans and the depletion of the ozone layer.

Underground records of changing climate

Article Abstract:

Geothermal researchers can study past terrestrial surface temperatures by drilling boreholes into continental rock and measuring the temperature. This, along with other research, can provide information on the climate.
