By: Bin Chen Lawrence Lee

2. Table of Content What are Non-Renewable Resources
Extraction of these Resources
World’s Resource Distribution
Consumption of the Resources
Impacts on The World

3. What are Non-Renewable Resources?
A natural resource
Oil and Natural Gas
Only a finite amount of supply
Not renewed by a natural system
As quickly as they are used

4. Types of Non-Renewable Resources
Oil and Natural Gas
Energy sources that formed over hundred million years ago
Decomposed plant and animal matters

5. Extraction of Oil Rotary drilling
Drill string is supported by a derrick
String is rotated by being coupled to the rotating table on the derrick floor
Drill cuttings are lifted continually to the surface by a circulating-fluid system driven by a pump

6. Extraction of Oil Water Injection
Increasing or maintaining pressure within the reservoir
Water physically displaces the oil, thus increasing the recovery efficiency
High uniformity, it can increase recovery efficiency to as much as 60%

7. Water Injection

8. Extraction of Oil Steam Injection
used in reservoirs where there are a lot of viscous oil
source of energy to displace the oil
reduces the viscosity,
therefore increasing the flow

9. World’s Oil Extraction Distribution

10. World’s Natural Gas Distribution

11. Assessment Exploitation Fossil Fuel and Natural Gases
may not be easily replenished
Condition are no long
suitable to produce
Requires thousands of
years to replenish

12. Consumption of Resources
Oil uses
Power internal combustion engine
Power plants burn coal to make steam that turn turbines and create electricity
Make plastic, tar, synthetic fibres, fertilizers, and medicines
Export

13. Consumption of Resource
Natural Gas Uses
Used both as a fuel and as a raw material in the manufacture of chemicals
Burned in furnaces
Water heaters
Cooking stoves
Clothes dryers

14. Consumption of Resources
Natural Gas
Used to bake bricks and ceramic tiles and to produce cement
Serves as a raw material for creating petrochemicals

15. Consumption: Pros Fossil Fuel & Natural Gas Cheap Easy to Transport
Large Amount is Currently Available
Clean (Burning Natural Gas)
Easily Refined
Produces Large Amounts of Energy

16. Consumption: Cons Oil & Natural Gas Non-Renewable Releases CO2
Causes Greenhouse Effect
Extraction sites disturbs habitats
Dirty (Burning oil)

17. Impacts to the Atmosphere
Acid Rain
Sulphur Dioxide
Global Warming
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Decrease in air quality

18. Impacts to the Lithosphere
Damage soil
Soil erosion and soil degradation
Destroy large areas of landscape

19. Impacts to the Hydrosphere
Contamination of water
Decrease of water quality
Rise of sea level through melting of ice

20. Impacts to the Biosphere
The destruction of marine life
Destruction of animal habitats
Poison animals
