The old field currently produces



Agrium produces 1,500 tonnes a day of pure CO2, and that will be the first gas to be used in the new line. North West will produce about 3,500 tonnes a day.Together, the two plants will send about 1.8 million tonnes per year into a pipeline that is designed to handle up to 15 million tonnes per year.There is plenty of space for more industries to add waste gas, which was the plan when the Alberta government agreed to spend $495 million over 10 years to support the ACTL. The estimated budget is $1.2 billion for capital and operating costs over that period. Ottawa has also kicked in $63 million."We will have two compressors linked to the refinery, one on-site to bring up the pressure from probably two (pounds per square inch) to 200. Then we have a second compressor off the site to bring that up to 2,000 psi, which is the pipeline pressure," said Cole.The 240-kilometre long pipeline to the Lacombe area in central Alberta can be constructed in one season.

There the compressed gas will be forced underground into a depleted oilfield at Clive, stimulating new production through enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.Last week, Enhance spent $15 million to purchase the field from Santonia Energy. The old field currently produces just 470 barrels of oil and gas per day, but using CO2 will bump that to about 10,000 bpd in the initial phase of the project."We can't disclose details, but the rule of thumb for EOR is one tonne of CO2 will produce two barrels," she said.The Clive field has been producing light oil since the 1950s. It could produce 25 million barrels more over the next 20 years with EOR.Enhance plans to use 20 CO2 injector wells and 80 producing wells to recover the oil in what Cole says is a cost-effective operation."We have no exploration costs and the infrastructure is all in place. Plus we know this is an excellent reservoir geologically for our EOR purposes," she added.Years from now, when the carbon pipeline is near capacity as other firms opt to "green" their products by separating and shipping out their CO2, Enhance could be producing up to 80,000 bpd of high quality, light oil.

The blood substitute keeps the cells alive



The modified 3D printers, developed at Wake Forest, print human cells in hydrogel-based scaffolds.The lab-engineered organs are then placed on a 2in (5cm) chip and linked together with a circulating blood substitute, similar to the type used in trauma surgery.The blood substitute keeps the cells alive and can be used to introduce chemical or biologic agents, as well as potential therapies, into the system.Sensors which measure real-time temperature, oxygen levels, pH and other factors feed back information on how the organs react and crucially how they interact with each other.Dr Anthony Atala, institute director at Wake Forest and lead investigator on the project, said the technology would be used both to "predict the effects of chemical and biologic agents and to test the effectiveness of potential treatments". A group of experts from around the US is involved in putting together the technology, which will carry out toxicity testing and identification.The funding for the project was awarded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a division of the US government which combats nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

The tests being carried out at Wake Forest "would significantly decrease the time and cost needed to develop medical countermeasures" for bioterrorism attacks, said Dr Clint Florence, acting branch chief of vaccines within the Translational Medical Division at DTRA.Wake Forest said it was able to test for antidotes to sarin gas, recently used against civilians in Syria.Dr Atala, whose field is regenerative medicine, said the bioprinting technology was first used at Wake Forest for building tissues and organs for replacement in patients.His team had managed to replicate flat organs, such as skin, tubular organs such as blood vessels, and even hollow non-tubular organs like the bladder and the stomach, which have more complex structures and functions.But building solid organs like the heart and the liver is the hardest challenge yet. The jet reached an altitude of 20,400 feet and an airspeed of about 288 miles per hour during today's flight, which tested the aircraft's systems and structures. Boeing said the jetliner's onboard equipment transmitted real-time data to the company's flight-test team in Seattle.

As Investments Are Recorded on The Balance Sheet


  The balance sheet financial statement lists assets, liabilities and equity. These items must show a zero net balance should be considered "balanced." This means that each of the assets in the accounts must be appropriate to record a liability or equity account. Since the increase in asset accounts debit, which means that either liability or equity accounts must be included when the new assets are purchased. In addition, when assets are sold or gotten rid of in some way, it would be possible to credit the account of assets to reduce it. There should be a debit to the liability or equity account balance is. This accounted for the balance.Another option is the disposal of the property that the property is sold for cash, the property is a wash. A simple example of balance sheet accounts is that the car is sold, and therefore reduces the expense of automobile credit. However, the money received was another index of growth in money. Therefore, cash accounts are debited and the total assets remain unchanged.
 
   This happens quite often with short-term investments, which are rarely seen or identified. Sometimes it helps to wrap your mind about the balance of account to look at it from the stand point of liability or equity accounts. Say you paid the liability or equity is purchased. It would be a debit to either of these accounts. There had to be the cost of the assets of any of these things happen, and probably cost in cash. This property is a credit account and balance sheet is balanced. While it is easy to view, it gets the point across. Since the investment is treated as an asset, they are treated the same way. The investments are in the shortest time, or the most liquid, to a maximum time limit, or at least liquid. They are also listed in the percentage of ownership. For example, if an investor in its fifty per cent of the business, that business is listed in terms of assets, and its denotation is said that fifty percent or fifty percent owned, or any other version of the same. This is because there is no full disclosure of financial statement users.
