The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

True or False ?

Also consider that there is ground water that is not potable/irragable without processing, there are plenty of salt water aquifers in most regions in the Midwest to draw water from. Other times you do not need to put water in, there are currently applications to use voids from oil extraction for pressurized gas storage.

I recently received little big planet for the ps3 and have got stuck on the level: `boom town` in `the canyons`. I am stuck on the bit where you have to free Jalapeno from the jail. I get to the place where you place the chicken activation sticker on the chickens. Bombs then drop from the ceiling. I need these bombs to free Jalapeno but as soon as the bombs land they explode. How do i tan sport them to the jail and stop them exploding when they land.

no u dont use them, theyre to stop u gettin the prize bubbles from the switch trigger. if you go back out of the little cave with the chicken switch things, there should be a little box on wheels with a skull on it, wheel this all the way down the hill, and then move to the cross near the jail door, and it should open up for you

I just read where someone in the oil industry was trying to explain
the latest gas price increase. Why an increase in the price per
gallon of gas when in an article a couple of days ago they were
trying to slip in that the price of oil, per barrel had just dropped
below $58?

Because all the ‘costs’ that the oil companies encure are passed along to the consumer. Like the building of new oil rigs and platforms, etc. And, because they can. Do you see anyone stopping them?

Do you think that the oil companies of the world will allow car companies to make better fuel efficient cars and new technology so that we wont have to use so much oil or will they intervene? Tell me your opinion on this and why car companies are not putting out really good fuel efficient cars.

no

I have a handmade oil lamp that I bought in the mountains of North Carolina, and while it runs great on paraffin oil, I’d love to see how well it works using vegetable oil. Are there any vegetable oils that burn better than others? Thanks!

You can’t use vegetable oil in an "oil lamp." Vegetable oil hydrocarbon chains are too long and complex to effectively burn. It can be used in diesel engines where a fine mist is mixed in with oxygen for combustion. This process is most effective when the glycerin is removed from the hydrocarbon. There simply is not enough surface area on a wick to effectively introduce oxygen and burning vegetable oil together.

In order for oil lamps to work, shorter and simpler hydrocarbons are used. Kerosene is 12-15 carbons of straight chain hydrocarbon. This lighter weight allows kerosene to partially vaporize, mix with oxygen, and combust near the wick. Vegetable oil comes in the form of triglycerides, or three fatty chains on a glycerin back. This means that the average molecule of oil weighs about 870 g/mol, not 210 g/mol for kerosene. As a result, it is much more difficult to get vegetable oil to vaporize off the wick for effective combustion. You’ll need the temperatures of a combustion engine.

As a result, vegetable oil is not used in lamps without major smoking and rapid fouling of the wick.

Alot of folks can’t understand how we came to have a shortage of oil here in our country;well there is a simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil;we just didn’t know we were getting low.
The reason for this is geographical; the OIL is located in Alaska California, Coastal Florida,Coastal Louisiana, Kansas,Oklahoma,Pennsylvania and Texas
But our DIPSTICKS are located in WASHINTON DC.

Ha! Ha! LoL – I remember when I was up in Houston a couple of years ago I was in a public washroom and when I sat down right in front of me it said: "IF YOU VOTED FOR BUSH; DON’T CRAP HERE ——— YOUR *SS-HOLE IS IN WASHINGTON!

Here is the question:
A flare boom is used to burn toxic gases on oil platforms. The maximum wind expected for the location of the platform during the life of the platform is 150 knots. If the cylindrical boom is 100 ft long and 1 ft in diameter, what will be the wind drag force on the boom during design wind conditions? Density of air is 0.075 lbm/ft^3 and viscosity is 0.1224E-4 lbm/sec ft. How do you do this problem?

the equation is in here

The News pounds us on how the dollar is experiecing hard times because of the rising costs of oil; in turn, putting pressure on other american assets.

Our economy was booming before George W. Bush was put into office; and now economists fear it’s in shambles; thousands of jobs are being lost and mortgage costs are rising.

I just don’t understand how anyone would want to support these failed policies and a war that’s costing billions of dollars; putting the US into a deficit that’s unheard of.

What’s the relevance of John McCain’s candidacy when his policies coincide with the current administrations? If we vote John McCain president is the US signing it’s own death warrant? Where’s the sense in proceeding with failed policies when it’s obvious that they aren’t working?

Are conservatives in denial because your reputation and pride is at stake?

Furthermore, are you letting your personal vendetta of Obama get in the way of your decision to vote democrate, to vote a change on current american policies that are only hurting us?

Convince me otherwise, I’m open to your opinion and I also respect it. I’m not here to start a fight, I’m just stating the facts and being as objective as I can about it. Thanks.
McKenzie, I’m fairly aware of what’s going on in world via the news, however, I don’t actually resent or hate conservatives. Perhaps I’m just buying into what people want me to think, at least I’m aware enough to know that much. Thanks for your imput, I gave you a thumbs up.
Heisenburg, Right on. I think we need to get back to the way America used to be. Conservatives are important and so are their cause, perhaps we just got a bad apple this time around.

I think Democrats are in denial of their role in our economic slump.

My wife and I received an application for Wellbore Commingling of fluids from an oil exploration company. We already have a well and are unsure of what this means? Are they going to drill a new well or drill farther down the existing one? Anyone’s thoughts would be appreciated!

You can produce two different reservoirs from one well either by having a separate set of tubing for each reservoir or by just letting both reservoirs flow into the well bore and then to the surface.

It sounds like they are going to try to produce from a separate reservoir. Assuming you have an interest in both reservoirs then it is probably a ok.

You really should contact the company and ask for an explanation. They should be happy to provide one.

Hey there, I’m looking for a mic that is mountable on a boom pole and is also compatible with the Canon HV30 camcorder.

A list with your top favorite would help wonders!

ask 10 audio engineers and get 10 good but different answers!

when you say boom pole, i think you mean a long pole (sometimes called a fishing pole) that is held high in the air to be out of the shot and a mic drops down on the end. It is very tiring and requires a lot of strengh to hold the pole, so the lightest mic possible is the best. it does not need to be directional because it is near the source of sound and the back is to the sky where no sound would normally come from anyway. quite often a miniture lav mic works for this.

in television studios and film lots the boom can be supported on a tripod like stand so a mildly directional cardiod mic is used and it is attached to a device that allows the operator to remotely point it towards the person speaking. It is directional because that eliminates pickup of noise from the pointing swivel device. The operator has to be very practiced to keep the mic pointed correctly.

some people call a shotgun mic a "boom mic" by mistake. a shotgun mic is a very directional mic that is attached to the camera itself, not a boom. it only picks up sound from the same direction as the camera is pointed. this does not always work out good, especially with the wide view angle of modern 16:9 video.

all of these are intended for pickup of dialog and not music. they are mono. the main advantages of the boom over say a wireless mic are it eliminates the mic from being visually seen and it simplifies pickup of multiple speakers. the operator will have to be informed of any camera changes to keep out of the shot, both the boom and its shadow.
