Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh
This CD-ROM was compiled according to the methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project. The goal of the project was to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world and report these results by the year 2000. A worldwide series of geologic maps, published on CD-ROMs, was released by the U.S. Geological Survey's World...

The USGS World Energy Program The USGS World Energy Program
The world has recently experienced rapid change to market-driven economies and increasing reliance on petroleum supplies from areas of political instability. The interplay of unprecedented growth of the global population, increasing worldwide energy demand, and political instability in two major petroleum exporting regions (the former Soviet Union and the Middle East) requires that the...

Coal-Quality Information - Key to the Efficient and Environmentally Sound Use of Coal Coal-Quality Information - Key to the Efficient and Environmentally Sound Use of Coal
The rock that we refer to as coal is derived principally from decomposed organic matter (plants) consisting primarily of the element carbon. When coal is burned, it produces energy in the form of heat, which is used to power machines such as steam engines or to drive turbines that produce electricity. Almost 60 percent of the electricity produced in the United States is derived from coal
