Binders for flexible pavements
Pěnčík, Michal ; Čiháčková, Pavlína (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The Bachelor`s thesis is focused on binders, which are used in flexible pavements. Firstly, we offer the reader description of different types of bitumen binders, which could be found in nature, and binders produced from petroleum through the process of distillation and further processing. Later on, we focus on the issue of testing these binders. The last part of the work deals with alternative types of binders which could potentially replace traditional bitumen binders.

Boilers for house heating
Kolář, Jakub ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on topic cover liquid fueled boilers with power up to 200 kW used for the heating family house and block of flats. Distribution and characteristics of liquid fuels, formation and processing of oil as raw material in liquid fuel production is reviewed in the introduction. First part of this thesis is mainly focused on heat oils. Boilers applicable to house heating, theirs energetic score and specificity and types of liquid fueled boilers are reviewed in second part. In the last part of this thesis is maked a calculation and shows comparative economical computation of convenient types of boiler application.

Bulan, Tomáš ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rusmichová, Lada (referee)
In a theoretical part, there is a crude oil description from the historical point of view, information about the first use of crude oil and about its creation. There are extracts about crude oil separation, extraction, and about places where crude oil can be found. The crude oil market and the price development is charakterized here too. Practical part of the bachelor´s thesis is focused on finding an influence of price changing to world economy, respectively to importers and exporters GDP. This influention is investigated with correlation and graphic analysis. In the end of the bachelor´s thesis, there is a charakteristics of the crude oil market.

Fossil energy sources: prospects and environmental impacts
Klimov, Andrey ; Matějíček, Luboš (advisor) ; Přibil, Rudolf (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis was to describe the system of fossil fuels as non-renewable energy sources, their overall supply in the World, predictions to the future, and namely their impact on the environment. The work is a literature review, with graphic and map examples. The work focused mainly on sources of petroleum, coal, and natural gas, their total supply, and the time before depletion. From environmental aspects, the work deals with the impact of these energy sources on ecosystems. Problems and risks of the survey, extraction, and transport of fuels are mentioned, and solutions for the future, with regard to environmental protection, discussed. Key words: Fossil fuels, petroleum, coal, natural gas, predictions, environmental impacts.

Norwegian Petroleum Sector
Basařová, Tereza ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
This study concerns Norwegian petroleum sector, main preconditions of its successful development and functioning and steps that were taken for this purpose. The study should give some insight into the Norwegian way of dealing with petroleum discoveries, primarily from the political, organizational and economic point of view. The paper is divided into four chapters. The first chapter concerns general circumstances affecting the functioning of petroleum sector, such as political, economic and social situation of the state, its position, timing of the petroleum discoveries and available industrial capacities and expertise. The second chapter deals with the initial period of petroleum activities and the relation between the state and international petroleum companies. The licensing system and the development of domestic capacities are mentioned here. The third chapter concerns the approach of the state, its values and long-term strategies, formulation of petroleum policies and legislation, creation of domestic administration and division of responsibility between the ministry, Statoil and Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. The fourth and final chapter concerns some economic issues such as the resource curse, state's incomes, protection of domestic economy, long-term economic planning and the petroleum fund.

Resource curse theory - An example of Venezuela
Hruška, Pavel ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
The main objective of this Master thesis is to test the claim that economic dependence on oil exports impedes enduring democratic stability in the case of Venezuela in the period between 1970-2010. This assumption is based on a broad resource curse theory, which addresses negative economic, political and social consequences of precious resource export dependency. The hypothesis is that exogenous variables may intesify these malign consequences. In this study I will analyse the role(s) performed by multinational oil corporations (MICs) in Venezuelan petroleum industry, the impact of the nationalization of the oil sector and the impact of foundation of the national oil corporation PDVSA, which became responsible for the subsequent development of oil extraction. I assume that the nationalization led to profound restructuring of institutional and power relations, which in turn had a negative impact on the economic prosperity and stability of the democratic regime in a long-term perspective. Soon afer its creation the national oil corporation became an independent actor with enough power to promote its own economic and political interests and therefore it polarized the already divided society. Historical development within Venezuelan oil industry will be analysed by the path dependency method. In addition, I...

This assumption was based on a broad resource curse theory which addresses negative economic, political and social consequences of precious resource export dependency. The hypothesis was that exogenous variables could intesify these malign consequences. In this study we focused on the role(s) performed by multinational oil corporations (MICs) in Venezuelan petroleum industry, on the impact of the nationalization of the oil sector and on the impact of the foundation of a state-owned corporation PDVSA, which became responsible for subsequent development of oil extraction. Fist, I proved that the nationalization led to profound restructuring of institutional and power relations that had negative impact on economic prosperity and stability of the democratic regime in a long-term perspective. Soon after its establishment the national oil corporation became an independent actor able to follow its own agenda and to promote its own economic and political interests and therefore polarized the already divided society. Second, I documented empirical evidence that corroborated most of the previous theoretical...
