now when that has been shut in for a whole while water and #oil will settle at different places underground and you might just have caused the water underground to flow to the well faster than the oil, so you just produce water for a whole while, once you turn it back on.
and there is another issue with these #oil wells in the middle east. they use an oil recovery method called water flooding, where they pump water underground in order to push the oil towards the well, if you will, as the fluids underground always move from high to low pressure zones. when you shut in this process that artificially created flow regime comes to a halt.
*SIGH*
Javier Blas: "Further ominous developments today. For first time, Iran successfully targeted oil/gas production facilities (rather than refining, terminals and storage):
Oil and gas field in the UAE (Shah) hit
Oil field in Iraq (Majnoon) attacked
Plus Saudi Arabia saw large drone swarms"
go fuck yourself so hard, nate!
you stupid child seriously now!
depending on how far #iran is willing to go: ~30% of the entire worlds supply, MOST OF IT 30°-40°API oil needed for #diesel, including ALL alternative routes to #hormuz are directly face-to-face with iran on the other side of the persian gulf.
#oil industry measures "heaviness" (overall boiling point, viscosity, etc of the crude mix) via a measure called API gravity.
A LOT of the crude oil with the right gravity to make #diesel (30° to 40° API) comes from the #middleeast.
crude #oil refining. different products consist of different crude oil components differing in molecule size, boiling point, flammability and energy content.
#diesel need alkanes, naphthens and aromatics. the long chain alkanes give it it's energy-punch. it has to be refined from crude oil that has these components. US #shale oil has not.
