Oilsands protesters challenged investors at a Calgary petroleum conference on Monday to drink out of bottles of murky water from Lake Athabasca, which sits near Alberta's major oilsands developments.What Is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a backup supply of crude oil that's pumped into deep underground salt caverns.Magnet Lab Researchers License Critical Petroleum Data

... biosphere microbes. That deeply buried organic material is the precursor to petroleum, but it may also be the food that many microbes need to survive.
"By understanding organic synthesis reactions ... Displacing petroleum-derived butanol with plants
... , it has higher energy density than ethanol, but it's more expensive currently.
"It would displace petroleum and that's huge – clearly it could be used as a liquid fuel, but right now it's still too ... Scientists collect data to aid Afghanistan reconstruction
... relative abundance of magnetic minerals in rocks — information that can help with mineral and petroleum exploration, tectonic interpretations, and seismic hazard assessments. Airborne gravity surveys ... A New Polymer Product From Soy Oil, Not Petroleum
Hair-care products, wound-care dressings and drug encapsulation are among the potential uses of new, soy-oil-based polymers known as "hydrogels." Chemists developed the soy-oil-based hydrogels as a ... Lean and mean biomass-degrading fungus reveals capabilities for improved biofuel production
