Abstract: Processes for producing synthesis gas employ a catalyst composition comprising a reducible metal oxide, or mixture of such oxides, that is active in catalyzing the conversion of methane and/or other light alkanes, in the absence of gaseous oxygen, to primarily CO and H 2 by a net catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) reaction. The reduced metal and/or lower valence metal oxide are reoxidized in a separate reaction zone or by alternating syngas and regenerant processes. Preferred catalyst compositions comprise reducible transition or lanthanide metal oxides that are stable at multiple oxidation states, and which can be regenerated to the active (more oxidized) oxidation state using atmospheric air or process steam, either pressurized or under ambient pressure.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for modeling of faulting and fracturing uses "small scale rules" to produce large-scale results. One part of the method is a user interface for inputting deformations, preexisting faults and fractures, and material rock properties. The second part of the software is the code that solves the motion of each point or node in the subsurface volume defined by the user interface. The model may be defined in one of three modes: an aerial mode; a cross-sectional mode; and a 3-D model
