BusinessWeek July 11, 2005 Otis Port	Tapping Gushers Beneath The Gushers Many engineers are reassessing the riches that may lie hidden under low-flow oil wells.
Geotimes March 2003 S. Julio Friedmann	Storing Carbon in Earth Carbon sequestration is capturing carbon dioxide, either from the atmosphere or emission streams, and storing it in reservoirs, such as plants or soils. Carbon dioxide could be converted to solid chemicals or injected into the deep ocean. Though there are risks, the potential pay-off is enormous.
Geotimes March 2004 Sara Pratt	A Fresh Angle on Oil Drilling Now, horizontal drilling seems more relevant than ever. With the ongoing debate about opening up more of Alaska's North Slope to oil exploration, the discussion often turns to new technologies that may have the potential to make oil extraction more efficient, more cost effective and more environmentally sound.
Geotimes March 2003	Demonstrating Carbon Sequestration Estimates are that human activity emits 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. One proposed method for reducing how much of the greenhouse gas ends up in the atmosphere is to store the carbon dioxide underground. Natural reservoirs of the gas exist, suggesting that it is feasible.
