The rate of crude oil production from 2008 to 2013 by an oil
company can be approximated by ?(?) = 6.2?^2 − 146? + 1910 million
barrels per year where ? is time in years since the start of 2000.
During that time, the price of oil was approximately ?(?) =
47?^0.046? dollars per barrel. Obtain an expression for the total
oil revenue ?(?) from the start 0f 2008 to the start of year ? as a
function of ?....
If the price of crude oil, a factor used in the production of
gasoline, increases and the number of people who own cars
falls:"
the equilibrium price of gasoline will increase and equilibrium
quantity of gasoline will decrease.
the equilibrium price of gasoline will be uncertain and
equilibrium quantity of gasoline will decrease.
the equilibrium price of gasoline will be uncertain and
equilibrium quantity of gasoline will increase.
Problem 1: Oil Production Data: The Data in the following are
the annual world crude oil production in millions of barrels for
the period 1880-1988. The data are taken from Moore and McCabe(
1993, p. 147).

Concerning a typical crude oil company in country X,
(a) In response to climate change, the government of Country X
would like to reduce crude oil production and consumption by means
of taxation. Explain briefly what type of tax (a per unit tax or a
lump sum tax) the government should impose. How would this tax
affect the oil company's output and profit? What's the disadvantage
of the other type of tax?
(b) With appropriate diagrams, explain the impact on...
1.1. Crude oil needs to be cleaned before it can be refined - explain what crude desalting is and why it is needed. 1.2. Separation of the crude oil into refined products is done by fractional distillation, very shortly describe the process and explain why it is necessary to separate the residue at reduced pressure.
1. Tenet Oil Production (TOP) is the largest producer
of offshore crude oil and natural gas in Country X. With the aging
of her existing oil fields, the company is considering a proposal
of developing an oil well located in the Atlantic Ocean acquired 2
years ago. TOP is considering whether to develop the Atlantic Ocean
oil well next year. Some relevant financial figures of this
proposal are as follows: • The $800 million of initial acquisition
cost of the...
chandler Oil has 5000 barrels of crude oil 1 and 10,000 barrels
of crude oil 2 available. Chandler sells gasoline and heating oil.
These products are produced by blending the two crude oils
together. Each barrel of crude oil 1 has a quality level of 10 and
each barrel of crude oil 2 has a quality level of 5.6 Gasoline must
have an average quality level of at least 8, whereas heating oil
must have an average quality level of...
