Oil is composed of many different hydrocarbons of different kinds. Researchers and oil industry workers know that what we call “oil” has undergone a massive change over the last 15 years. Media attention has declined in lockstep, but there are still open questions about the chemical properties of these oils-many of which are produced from newly tapped shale formations around the country. As more pipelines have come into play, the rail-transport boom out of North Dakota has eased-approximately 150,000 barrels of oil travel the rails each day now, down from over 800,000 barrels at the peak in late 2014. These explosions, and several other high-profile derailments and spills, called attention to the danger of transporting crude oil in unprecedented amounts on the North American rail system. If all doesn’t go well, a similar massive fireball could go up over a derailed train, as happened in the town of Lac-Mégantic in July of 2013, killing 42 people, or outside Casselton, North Dakota, in December of that year, where somehow there were no reported injuries. It will be part of a multiyear Department of Energy research project to understand whether the chemical composition of unconventional crude oils changes the risk they pose to the nation’s highways, pipelines, and railroads. We hope that the book will prove useful to all who enjoy doing crossword puzzles – and, in particular, to those who enjoy completing them.If all goes well, a massive fireball of hydrocarbons will ignite in the New Mexico desert some time in the next year.
It should be noted that ‘-ise’ endings are also possible for these. In general, ‘-ize’ ending have been used for verbs. We have also given, in many cases, plurals of nouns, comparatives and superlatives of adjectives, and inflections of verbs. The words chosen include proper nouns, names of people and places, as well as common two- and three-word phrases. Within each section, the words are arranged alphabetically. We have included over 100,000 English words organized into words with two letters, words with three letters, four letters, etc., up to fifteen letters.
