Due to the market-to-market difference of commodities, limitation in report scope and data availability, this project focuses on the fundamental analysis approaches for the prices of a major kind of energy derivative: the crude oil futures.
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology. Related terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer, and aquiclude (or aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable area overlies the aquifer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer.
Groundwater (or ground water) is the water present beneath Earth 's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.
