Hybrid Media Reporting from Offshore Technology Conference Houston, Texas USA -- PR NewsWire -- Globe News Wire :
HOUSTON — ( AP ) —- 2014 Offshore Technology Conference Broke Record Attendance, over 108,300 people attended this year’s conference. For the most part many of the companies in attendance spend all their time and resources engineering, and saying "When is that Oil coming out of the Oil Well ". Hybrid Media Also discovered oil companies leave 
too much of the valuable resources in the wells. Nanoparticles are how we can get more of our Oil Gas from wells.
too much of the valuable resources in the wells. Nanoparticles are how we can get more of our Oil Gas from wells.
Petroleum companies abandon oil wells, more than half the reservoir’s oil is usually left behind as too difficult to recover. Now, however, much of the residual oil can be recovered with the help of nanoparticles and a simple law of physics.
To begin let’s explain what nanoparticles are:
Nanotechnology is the control of matter at the nanoscale, at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. While it is difficult to imagine just how small that is, here are some examples:
A sheet of paper is about
100,000 nanometers thick.
A strand of human DNA is 2.5
nanometers in diameter.
A human hair is approximately
80,000 nanometers wide.
Nanoparticles and Semi Conductors Namely Genomics and treatments. The field of genomics is caught in a data deluge. Targeted breast cancer DNA sequencing is becoming
faster and cheaper at a pace far outstripping Moore’s law, which describes the rate at which computing gets faster and cheaper. The result is that the ability to determine Targeted breast cancer DNA sequences is starting to outrun the ability of researchers to store, transmit and especially to analyze the data. The cost of sequencing a human genome — all three billion bases of DNA in a set of human chromosomes — plunged to $10,000.00 which means genomics breast cancer DNA sequencing is around $3000.00. The lower cost, along with increasing speed, has led to a huge increase in how much breast Cancer sequencing data is being produced.
Numerous investigations have shown that both tissue and cell distribution profiles can be controlled by their entrapment in submicronic colloidal systems (nanoparticles). The rationale behind this approach is to increase antitumor efficacy, while reducing systemic side-effects. This review provides an update of tumor targeting with conventional or long-circulating nanoparticles. The in vivo fate of these systems,after intravascular or tumoral administration, is discussed, as well as the mechanism involved in tumor regression. Nanoparticles are also of benefit for the selective delivery of oligonucleotides to tumor cells. Moreover, certain types of nanoparticles showed some interesting capacity to reverse MDR resistance, which is a major problem in chemotherapy. The first experiments, aiming to decorate nanoparticles with molecular ligand for active targeting of 
cancerous cells Miniaturization will allow the tools for many different tests to be situated together on the same small device. Gennxeix Biotech Researchers Say that nanotechnology will allow them to run many diagnostic tests simultaneously. Nanoparticles nanoshells is use to antibodies that recognize cancer cells.

Adult stem cell research can change the world through regenerative medicine and its untapped potential to tackle some of the most challenging diseases known to man. GenNXeix Biotech Analytics Research has shown genomics, pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is the Future for Treating Breast Cancer along with Bacteria process called quorum sensing. Pluripotency (from the Latin plurimus, meaning very many, and potens, meaning having power) refers to a stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into any of the t hree germ layers: endoderm (interior stomach lining, gastrointestinal tract, the lungs), mesoderm (muscle, bone, blood, urogenital), or ectoderm (epidermal tissues and nervous system). Bacteria communicate with one another using chemical signal molecules. As in higher organisms, the information supplied by these molecules is critical for synchronizing the activities of large groups of cells. In bacteria, chemical communication involves producing,
releasing, detecting, and responding to small hormone-like molecules termed auto inducers. This process, termed quorum sensing, allows bacteria to monitor the environment for other bacteria and to alter behavior on a population-wide scale in response to changes in the number and/or species present in a community. Most quorumsensing-controlled processes are unproductive when undertaken by an individual bacterium acting alone but become beneficial when carried out simultaneously by a large number of cells. Thus, quorum sensing confuses the distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes because it enables bacteria to act as multicellular organisms. This review focuses on the architectures of bacterial chemical communication networks; how chemical information is integrated, processed, and transduced to control gene expression; how intra- and interspecies cell-cell communication is accomplished; and the intriguing possibility of prokaryote-eukaryote cross-communication.

Nanotechnology relies on the ability to design, manipulate, and manufacture materials at the nanoscale. Nanoparticles are tiny agglomerations of atoms. Because the particles are so small, their surfaces play a huge part in interactions, giving them a number of unique chemical properties. Suspended in paint, nanoparticles can help create anti-corrosive coatings. Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. Fused together, nanoparticles can make stronger materials than the alloys from which they are produced.
Hybrid Media has learned Oil can be recovered. Oil is confined in tiny pores within rocks, often sandstone. Often the natural pressure in a reservoir is so high that the oil flows
upwards when drilling reaches the rocks containing the oil. In order to maintain the pressure within a reservoir, oil companies have learned to displace the produced oil by injecting water. This water forces out the oil located in areas near the injection point. The actual injection point may be hundreds or even thousands of meters away from the production well.

This water forces out the oil located in areas near the injection point. The actual injection point may be hundreds or even thousands of meters away from the production well.
Water injection loses its effect. Once the oil from all the easily reached pores has been recovered, water begins emerging from the production well instead of oil, at which point the petroleum engineers have had little choice but to shut down the well.
As nanotechnology applications move from research laboratories to industrial and commercial settings, workers and employers should be aware of potential hazards posed by nanomaterials in their workplaces and employers should take appropriate measures to control worker exposure. This fact sheet reflects the current understanding of the health and safety issues relating to nanomaterials. Up-to-date information regarding this rapidly developing field of knowledge is available at www.nano.gov or at the Nanotechnology page on OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov/dsg/nanotechnology/nanotechnology.html).
Nanomaterials in the Workplace Some examples of workplaces that may use nanomaterials include chemical or pharmaceutical laboratories or plants,Image manufacturing facilities, medical offices or hospitals, and construction sites. One way for workers to determine if their workplace is using nanomaterials is to ask their employer.
Working Safely with Nanomaterials Workers who use nanotechnology in research or production processes may be exposed to nanomaterials through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. This fact sheet provides basic information to workers and employers on the most current understanding of potential hazards associated with this rapidly-developing technology and highlights measures to control exposure to nanomaterials in the workplace.
Employers should check with manufacturers of chemicals and materials used in their workplace to determine if unbound engineered nanomaterials are present. The potential for nanomaterials to pose
health or safety hazards is greater if the nanomaterials are easily dispersed (such as in powders, sprays, or droplets) or are not isolated or contained.In workplaces where workers will be exposed to nanomaterials, the employer should provide information and training to their workers

The petroleum industry and research community have been working for decades on various solutions to increase recovery rates. One group of researchers at the Center for Integrated Petroleum Research (CIPR) in Bergen, collaborating with researchers in China, has developed a new method for recovering more oil.
Chinese scientists has already succeeded in recovering a sensational 15 per cent of the residual oil in their test reservoir when they formed collaboration with the CIPR researchers to find out what had actually taken place down in the reservoir.
With Norwegian partners in the collaboration has succeeded in recovering up to 50 per cent of the oil remaining in North Sea rock samples.
Water in an oil reservoir flows much like the water in a river, accelerating in narrow stretches and slowing where the path widens. When water is pumped into a reservoir, the pressure difference forces the water away from the injection well and towards the production well through the tiny rock pores. These pores are all interconnected by very narrow tunnel-like passages, and the water accelerates as it squeezes its way through these.
The new method is based on infusing the injection water with particles that are considerably smaller.jpg)
than the tunnel diameters. When the particle-enhanced water reaches a tunnel opening, it will accelerate faster than the particles, leaving the particles behind to accumulate and plug the tunnel entrance, ultimately sealing the tunnel.

than the tunnel diameters. When the particle-enhanced water reaches a tunnel opening, it will accelerate faster than the particles, leaving the particles behind to accumulate and plug the tunnel entrance, ultimately sealing the tunnel.
This forces the following water to take other paths through the rock’s pores and passages — and in some of these there is oil, which is forced out with the water flow. The result is more oil extracted from the production well and higher profits for the petroleum companies.
Nanoparticles are used are typically 100 nanometres in diameter, or 100 times smaller than the 10-micron-wide tunnels.The Bergen and Beijing researchers have tested a variety of particle sizes and types to find those best suited for plugging the rock pores, which turned out to be elastic nanoparticles made of polymer threads that retract into coils. The particles are made from commercial polyacrylamide such as that used in water treatment plants. Nanoparticles in solid form such as silica were less effective.
Two Chinese researchers Bo Peng and Ming yuan Li who completed their doctorates in Bergen 10 and 20 years ago, respectively from the University of Bergen and China University of Petroleum in Beijing have been cooperating for over a decade on petroleum research, and this laid the foundation for collaboration on understanding and refining the particle method.
Field studies in China not only yielded more oil, but also demonstrated that the nanoparticles indeed formed plugs that subsequently dissolved during the water injection process. Nanoparticles were found in the production well 500 meters away. “The Chinese were the first to use these particles in field studies,” says Arne Skauge, Director of CIPR. “The studies showed that they work, but there were still many unanswered questions about how and why. At CIPR we began to categories the particles’ size, variation in size, and structure.”
At first it was not known if the particles could be used in seawater, since the Chinese had done their trials with river water and onshore oilfields. Trials in Bergen using rock samples from the North Sea showed that the nanoparticles also work in seawater and help to recover an average of 20?30 per cent, and up to 50 per cent, more residual oil.
It is great to know technology is moving the ball down the field.
