Proud Texan-Its true. Everything is made from oil. your cellphone is made from oIl. lets see and there are no viable ways to get cars off oil. the best way is natural gas cars which is still years away.
Smartest-Actually oil is a renewable resource. It just takes a really really long time. :P

Some seem to not be aware of that at all.

Nor that there is NOTHING available today that can take the place of oil.

I would like to know the difference in the positions aboard an offshore oil production platform, labeled, "operator A", "operator B", and "operator C".
Any specific job description is appreciated.

Here you go.

I am looking to enter the oil & gas sector (Middle east). I have noticed that there are jobs in Production engineering in oil & gas sector, but they are different. Can anyone suggest what is the better route to enter this field. Can any courses etc help?? I am a bit lost in direction here. I did masters in manufacturing systems and bachelors in mechanical engineering.

Given your background in mechanical engineering, both oil and gas production should be a good fit for you. You might want to take a few courses on drilling and well design, and maybe a few courses on well logging if you get the chance. Both oil and gas are good sectors to work in as far as I can tell, but oil tends to be a bit more lucrative.

Many people think the search for cleaner energy leads only to renewable resources like sun, wind and water. But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels — the fuels created by plant and animal remains over millions of years.

Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane. It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.

Russia is first in what are called “proved reserves” of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries.

But now the industry is taking a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale, then go sideways and inject high-pressure water, sand or other material into the rock.

This causes the rock to break, or fracture, releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the south-central states.

Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies.

Eric Potter is a program director in the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. He said the kinds of opportunities that are left for natural gas exploration in the United States have changed. So it is not as easy to develop. He says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves.

But hydraulic fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption from the law.

Natural gas provides Americans with about one-fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high.

But prices are down sharply now because the recession cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the new gas shale reserves will affect the market.

And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.

The Midland Oil and Gas Task Force has reviewed the existing City of Midland ordinance regulating oil and gas drilling and production activities within the city limits and recently provided recommendations to the City Council. The recommendations were taken into consideration when drafting a modified ordinance to meet the goals of encouraging orderly development and growth of the city while accommodating the rights of mineral owners to reasonable access to their minerals and protecting the health, welfare, and safety of the public.
