Its reported that a 6 Kil Impactor releases the energy of a billion Hiroshimas. The generalized release from 47 kilometers of impactors, releases the equivalent of 7.8 billion Hiroshimas, the kind of energy that takes solids all the way through phase change operations almost instantly, this energy went into making oil, and that is why the Illinois Basin contains across its wide geographic area, enough nucleated oil in Shale, to make team USA the replacement for now defunct NOPEC....

Who said the dumb or dumber matrix cant get any dumber?

Ok, we did...this bit about the Variable Mal investment of capital speaks volumes.....anyone investing in this project is an idiot.

Better check the links at the post for which this is a reply...When experts are just mouthpieces and politicians are used to intradict the natural flow of capital with self interested projects, you've properly characterized the bought and paid for network. Illinois natural gas and nucleated oil in shale deposits, are HUGE....so any talk about projects like this one, are just stupid.

Quinn set to sign 'clean coal' bill, opening door to Southeast Side plant

Gov. Pat Quinn will sign controversial "clean coal" legislation Wednesday morning that paves the way for a new plant in Chicago that converts coal to natural gas and opens a market for Illinois coal, the Tribune has learned.

Quinn vetoed earlier versions of the bill after groups claimed consumers would be saddled with price increases of up to $191 per year for three decades. The new legislation contains consumer protections, including rate caps, to ensure residential customers do not see their natural gas bills increase more than 2 percent per year.

Chain of Impact Craters Suggested by Spaceborne Radar Images

CHAIN OF IMPACT CRATERS SUGGESTED BY SPACEBORNE RADAR IMAGES
A team of scientists believes they have discovered a chain of impact craters in the central African country of Chad that suggests ancient Earth may have been hit by a large, fragmented comet or asteroid similar to the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet that slammed into Jupiter in 1994.
The craters were discovered in radar images of the Earth taken by the Spaceborne Imaging Radar C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in April and October of 1994. The images reveal two new craters adjacent to a previously known impact site, called Aorounga, in northern Chad. The two new craters still need to be confirmed by fieldwork on the ground.

"The Aorounga craters are only the second chain of large craters known on Earth, and were apparently formed by the break-up of a large comet or asteroid prior to impact," said Adriana Ocampo, a geologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA. "With ground confirmation, this second chain will provide valuable data on the nature and origin of small bodies that cross Earth's orbit."

Ocampo is presenting her findings today at the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, TX.

"The two new craters are the first impact craters discovered in SIR-C data," said Dr. Kevin Pope, a SIR-C team member from Geo Eco Arc Research in La Canada Flintridge, CA. "That shows the power of the SIR-C instrument, because these craters are highly eroded and buried by wind-blown sand. They are hard to see even if you are standing on the ground."

The most prominent of the craters, called Aorounga South, has been observed in Landsat satellite-based images and Space Shuttle hand-held photos, and has been verified by ground work. The other two craters, Aorounga Central and Aorounga North, have not been scientifically confirmed through fieldwork and that has caused other scientists to view this discovery with some skepticism.

"These could very well be impact structures, but we don't have the kind of evidence we need to catalogue them yet," said Dr. John McHone, a SIR-C science team member from the University of Arizona, who has studied impact craters for more than 20 years.

Ocampo and Pope theorize that the object that created these impact sites was either a comet or asteroid that broke up before it hit the Earth. "The pieces were all similar in size -- less than a mile in diameter -- and the craters are all similar in size -- about seven to ten miles wide," Ocampo said.

Similar chains of equal size craters have also been seen on Jupiter's moon Callisto.

The scientists estimate the Chad impact craters date back about 360 million years, to a time when the Earth was undergoing a period of mass biological extinction. By way of comparison, the impact that scientists believed wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago involved an asteroid or comet 10 times larger than the one that broke up to form the craters in Chad.

"These impacts in Chad weren't big enough to cause the extinction, but they may have contributed to it," Ocampo said. "Could these impacts be part of a larger event? Were they, perhaps, part of comet showers that could have added to the extinction? Little by little, we are putting the puzzle together to understand how Earth has evolved."

The Spaceborne Imaging Radar project is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA's Office of Mission to Planet Earth, Washington, DC. SIR-C/X-SAR is a joint mission of the United States, German and Italian space agencies.

Illinois Basin – ASP Project


The company is continuing to see a positive response on its ASP Middagh pilot project. Oil response in the 6 well producing pattern has continued to show an increase in oil cut from 1% to 10%. Total pattern production has increased to 80-85 gross barrels of oil per day, up from the previously announced range of 70-78 gross barrels of oil per day. Three of the producing wells have average oil cuts of over 17%, with oil cuts still increasing at two of the three remaining wells. The production profile of the three wells with the highest oil cuts appears to be reaching a plateau. Based on the production profile to date, it appears that the company will achieve sufficient ranges of pore volume recovery of oil from the pilot to validate the required reservoir response to sanction future development. "We continue to be very encouraged by the ASP pilot performance," said Pat McKinney, Rex Energy's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We believe it is still premature to estimate the eventual pore volume oil recovery and translate the preliminary response of the pilot into tertiary recovery proved reserves. We are still on track to be able to determine the extent of the proved reserve booking impact of the project by the end of 2011."
