President Bush and the Republican’t Nominee John McBush are both trying to exploit our pain at the gas pump into an opportunity to get even more profits for the oil companies by lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling.
This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen and it will NOT help lower gas prices. Worse yet it is an investment in continuing our dependence on oil and our reliance on oil producing countries that hate us.
It is time that we “turn and face the change” to alternative energy, renewable resources, Green Energy.

The Tengiz Field in Kazakhstan is one of the worlds 10 largest crude oil fields — and one of the most complex to produce. The crude oil is high in hydrogen sulfide gas, and the reservoirs must be maintained at ultra-high pressures in order to maximize production. Two expansion projects of extraordinary scope have overcome both challenges and almost doubled production capacity to 540,000 barrels of crude oil, 760 million cubic feet of natural gas and 46,000 barrels of natural gas liquids per day. One project called for building the largest facility in the world for processing crude oil and separating out the hydrogen sulfide gas. The second included a specially designed compressor that reinjects one-third of the gas back into the reservoir at the highest pressures ever achieved. The gas helps maintain reservoir pressure and acts as a solvent, sweeping additional crude oil toward producing wells.

Driving down the two lane roads of South Central Illinois, you can usually spot an oil well or two. In this case, the ones we spotted were open and available for some camera work. They run with Fairbanks Morse flywheel engines that use the wellhead gas for fuel. Cooling water is sealed and recycled through a radiator and lubrication is never far away. As a result, these engines can run for a week or more before attention is required. In fact, at a slow, steady speed, their lifetime is practically unlimited. Change out a spark plug or maybe a bearing or a valve and it’s ready to go to work again. See the Oil Field Engine discussion group at WWW.SMOKSTAK.COM for more information.
