A new comprehensive modeling assessment of contamination in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region indicates that officially reported emissions of certain hazardous air pollutants have been greatly underestimated.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and the University of Houston today announced they are working together to further understanding of the geology and composition of crude oil.

Researchers from the University of Rochester and Texas A&M University have found that, over a period of five months after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, naturally-occurring bacteria removed at least 200,000 tons of oil and natural gas.

As gas prices soar, scientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University are marketing research that will enable petroleum companies to locate, analyze and process crude oil much faster, cheaper and more accurately.
