This has encouraged gas producers to scurry after oil in liquid-rich shale beds such as the Bakken in North Dakota.
Allow early payment of Winter Fuel Allowance to pensioners whose homes are not connected to the mains grid, and instead use oil, liquid petroleum gas or propane gas for heating.
The bottom line for demand: Global consumption of oil and liquid fuels should increase by about 1.3 million barrels a day in the third quarter from the first quarter, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
During a visit to the hallowed Crimson halls, the team was kindly enough to show off the material through a series of messy, messy demos, dropping water, motor oil, liquid asphalt and newly-mixed concrete on aluminum and glass.
The bill would allow for the early payment of the winter fuel allowance to people whose homes are not connected to the mains gas grid and whose principal source of fuel is home fuel oil, liquid petroleum gas or propane gas.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said about 59, 200 barrels of liquid oil a day flowed from the well.
It has the second-biggest reserves after Saudi Arabia in terms of liquid oil reserves, and it has relatively simple geology.
Oil and its liquid derivatives will remain fairly high priced, but natural gas will continue to cheapen, increasing the spread between the two fuels to unpr ecedented levels.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ultimately concluded that about 59, 200 barrels of liquid oil a day flowed from the well before it was capped, making it the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
And our proximate problem is liquid oil.
FORBES: Egypt fallout -- follow Exxon and T Boone Pickens; go long natural gas and frack-baby-frack
The primary difference between bitumen and ordinary crude is the size of the hydrocarbon molecules: in liquid oil, these molecules contain between five and twenty carbon atoms, while in bitumen they contain more than twenty. (At room temperature, pure bitumen is so viscous that it will not flow.) The main job of the upgrader is to break down the oversized hydrocarbons into smaller units.
The United States Oil Fund ( USO) is the most liquid of all oil ETFs.
The only assets Chesapeake can sell right now are the same fields that got them into its financing mess in the first place: liquid fields and oil plays.

At a news conference Thursday, police said Auvinen had sprayed a flammable liquid, possibly lamp oil, on the walls of the school and that he tried but failed to light it.
The letter was forgotten as, on Aug. 29, 1859, Drake and Uncle Billy and his sons got feverishly busy pumping oil and filling wash tubs and whiskey barrels (why we speak of "barrels" of oil today) with the black liquid.
We have enough coal, when converted to liquid fuel, to replace oil for 200 years.
New technology, avidly sought today, could well spur any number of alternative energy sources: oil sands, oil shale, natural gas converted to liquid, coal converted to liquid, etc.
Blitz the orange juice, anchovy, capers and garlic in a food processor and then stir the resulting liquid, along with the olive oil, into the olive-date mixture.

Charrouf says that the new-found international popularity of argan oil -- which she describes as "liquid gold" -- has not only provided about 5, 000 jobs for Berber women across 170 co-ops, but also an important social lifeline.
Most immediately, what fusion in any of its manifestations does not address is the problem of providing liquid fuels as conventional supplies of oil and gas decline, and it is this which is the greatest and most pressing matter to be dealt with, against a backdrop of mere years not a luxury of decades.
Oil shale and tar sands are other sources of liquid fuel that are harder on the environment than petroleum.
However, many believe that water, not oil, may ultimately prove to be the most valuable liquid in the Chinese economy.
And for the first time in more than a decade, oil we imported accounted for less than half of the liquid fuel we consumed.
Households with oil-fired central heating, and those using solid fuel or liquid petroleum gas to heat their homes, are much more likely to be in fuel poverty than "on-grid" households.
Both of these provide super liquid and sector wide exposure to both mega cap energy companies and oil services companies.
This includes the resurgence of U.S. liquid production in recent years (5.5 million barrels of oil per day and trending upward), as well as conventional gas production's six-fold increase over the last two decades (to approximately 32 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day in 2010, nearly equaling U.S. liquid production).
Either way, the CO2 must be put somewhere, for which strategies include pumping it into rocky formations (such as depleted oil and gas wells) at a pressure of 100 atmospheres, or even piping it in liquid form under pressure onto the sea-floor where it is cold enough and the pressure high enough that it is hoped the material will stay there, assisted by the formation of CO2-hydrate.
Cox believes that all in all--transformation, transportation, refining--he can make liquid fuels more cheaply by turning natural gas into GTL than can producers that start by extracting crude oil.
Using technology invented in Nazi Germany and perfected by South Africa's Sasol when those countries were under oil embargoes, companies are now also investing furiously to convert not only natural gas but also coal into a liquid fuel.
