As part of United Energy Corporation’s multilateral strategy, the Company recently purchased certain rights to a technology that will revolutionize oil extraction from shale deposits. It is a technology more economical, higher-yielding, energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly, rapidly-producing, and lower-maintenance than traditional methods of oil extraction from shale reserves.

This micronized technology can remove either pollutants or the coveted precursor to crude oil in seconds and minutes versus hours and days. It reduces levels of emissions and toxic materials many times over that of conventional processes.

Coalbed Methane (CBM) gas is a noteworthy source of energy which is rebounding after unfavorable financial and political conditions caused a downturn in production. Aka coal seam gas, CBM is a type of natural gas extracted from coalbeds and seams. Contrary to generating electricity from coal (extracted from coal mines), CBM, as well as conventional natural gas, has less than half of the greenhouse gas effect as that of coal. This is significant in that utilizing both CBM and natural gas reduces our carbon footprint by 50% compared to relying on coal as a fuel source.

While compressor stations may not be at the forefront of your thoughts, they do play an integral role in providing energy for so many of our day-to-day conveniences. Here’s a short primer on their purpose and function in the energy industry.
