September 9, 2011: Total announces a major gas discovery in the Caspian Sea in the Absheron block offshore Azerbaijan.
The Absheron X-2 well has encountered more than 500 feet of cumulated net gas pays within high quality sands on the northern flank of a major 270 square kilometres structure. Reservoirs are expected to extend over the entire northern part of the structure.

Interests in space arose in humans in all times. But only in 20 century a man received the opportunity and knowledge to achieve this goal. Development of the first versions of aircraft began in the 1930s. Sergei Korolev was the first designer who created the idea of flying into space on a rocket vehicle . He was the principal designer and founder of the first satellite and manned spacecraft. Thanks to him and the team of engineers on October 4, 1957 The Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, thus enabling start the space race and becoming the first space «superpower». On August 19, 1960 the Soviet Union launched Sputnik-5, carrying the dogs Belka and Strelka. After an orbital flight, the dog returned safely to Earth. The first man in space, and once in orbit was a Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. On April 12, 1961 he performed the first orbital flight aboard Vostok. Launching manned space flights, the Soviet Union became the first «space superpower». On June 16, 1963 the first woman astronaut flew into space was Valentina Tereshkova. Then On March 18, 1965 Alexei Leonov the world’s first made spacewalk.
Nuclear Power Plant
Energy is one of the crucial elements of human life. We use energy at every area of our lives. Energy enables us to do our chores easily. There are many kinds of energy types such as electric energy, heat energy, sound energy, bioenergy etc. We gain energy from different kinds of sources. Nuclear energy is one of the useful energy sources to gain efficient energy. Nuclear energy is more useful than other kinds of energy for three reasons.
Knowledge, accumulation of past experiences, is one of the crucial elements of human life. As knowledge has been valuable from ancient ages to our century, humans have done researches on the methods of transforming, developing, saving and using knowledge quickly and securely. In last two centuries there have been lots of considerable improvements on the area of information technologies. Computer is one of the significant inventions on the field of information technologies. In spite of advantages of computers, such as being fast, reliable, able to hold a great amount of data, they are usually insecure. Because of insecurity of computer systems, some malevolent persons use computers on their bad purposes. Usually, misuses of computers are called computer crimes. There are two main categories of computer crimes: sabotage and data theft.
Education has a great role on lives of people. A proper education method is as important as giving education on a subject. Usually people have education in schools. From past to now, schools have been very important in the area of education. By improvement of information technologies, computers and internet became crucial elements of education. As a result, internet organizations built virtual schools in order to give courses on the internet. Getting education at virtual schools is called “distance learning”. Shen (2003, p. 1) claims that distance learning is a kind of learning method, that is performed by teacher and student, who are separated by means of time and location. Many people refuse to get education via the internet. They think that unlike schools, distance learning does not provide social activities to students. A better alternative, for everyone, is distance learning for three reasons.
Consultants Ramboll and BIG architects have created a 1,000,000 m2 masterplan for a carbon neutral resort and residential masterplan on Zira Island in the Caspian Sea off Azerbaijan.
Zira Island is designed to be a self contained island that is entirely independent of external resources.

I am sure that, most of us use this word almost everyday. Like; “what is your plan for tonight?” or “what are you planning to do?” etc. I can give lots of examples.
What is electrical engineering?
There are different ways to answer this question. However there is a basic understanding which is electrons are managed by professional people and creative ideas formed electrical engineering.
The problems and fatalities caused by corrosion in the oil and gas industry are not new. The corrosion process of carbon steel pipes and tanks induced by the presence of water has been a serious problem for decades. The effective control of corrosion extends the life of industrial equipment and decreases the related industrial costs dramatically. A particular advantage of corrosion inhibition is that it can be implemented or changed in situ without disrupting a process. The major industries using corrosion inhibitors are the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the petroleum refining industry, the chemical industry, heavy industrial manufacturing industry, water treatment facilities, and the product additive industries [1].Organic corrosion inhibitors are generally more environmentally friendly than inorganic corrosion inhibitors. The purpose of this work is to look for an opportunity of synthesizing effective corrosion inhibitors for oil and gas fittings, equipment and pipelines transporting multiple-phase systems. Therefore several vegetable oil fatty acids were extracted and reacted with diethylenetriamine [2,3].Initially, the vegetable oil was hydrolyzed with solution of 10% NaOH for 2 hours at c. 60-70 °C temperature. This process yield in fatty acid sodium salts which are reacted with 37% HCl acid solution for extracting the fatty acids.Based on prepared fatty acids the amide syntheses were performed. First, the fatty acid was added to the flask and heated until c. 80°C. At this steady temperature DETA gradually was added to the acid. The chemical reaction was performed at c. 130 – 140°C temperature with intensive mixing of the blend for 3 hrs. Determination of inhibition properties of the compounds was performed by gravimetric method. Polished and cleaned three steel plates were placed in a mixture of aqueous H2S solution and kerosene with 9:1 volume ratio. The solution was intensively blended for 6 hours [3].The weights of the steel plates were measured before and after the experiment to calculate the corrosion rate. This step was repeated without and with the synthesized substance at five different concentrations. The collected corrosion rates allowed to calculate the inhibition efficiency (i.e. protection properties), (Z) and rate slowing coefficient (g).As a conclusion we can point that the sunflower and soybean oil fatty acids amide derivative was synthesized from diethylenetriamine (DETA). Based on these experiments and performed calculations it was proved the synthesized amide molecules are demonstrating high inhibition efficiency. Even at low concentrations the compound has high protection ability (i.e. at 25 mg/l ~ 94% protection). There are stringent requirements for corrosion inhibitors and its application. One of them is stating that the inhibitor should be non-toxic. The performed research is indicating that the vegetable oil can be good raw material for preparation of “environmentally friendly” corrosion inhibitors.
