The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

When a company drills for oil how are the profits shared out? it’s the countries oil so do they get most of it? or does the company buy it outright from the country and then sell it on at a profit? i’m writing a screenplay for my film studies a-level coursework and the film is heavily involved with the oil industry so i need to know how it works. cheers

the land owner who has mineral rights sells the rights to extract the oil some times to just certain depths then can even lease the bottom strata to some other company. Now every strata can only drain a pool so large. That pool area must have every owners names on the leases before drilling can begin. So in a say square mile area you could have several hundred to thousands of owners who would all get an over riding royalty interest in the oil and gas that comes out. It is divided by their acreage own to the total area pool. This O/R/R is free to them for the rights to extract and can go on for 50 + years. The drilling company then sells off the oil that is collected into what are called batteries when the refinery comes and collects and truck it out of the field. This is the raw crude oil. Natural gas is pipe to the refinery. All by products from the well head are stripped and refined. Some come to your home as natural gas some to the local gas station where you buy gas. Other products go into plastics and tar and asphalt etc. It is not un common for a well head to have several producing zones with gas in one or more and oil in one or more. That is why it can take 50+ years to deplete the well. The government does not own it at all unless the lease is part of public land.

Our nation is dependent on oil, yet price gouging continues unabated. Other services and products within our nation and that our citizens must have are regulated (medicine, banking, food, utilities, etc.) Should our government regulate oil prices?

Regulating prices will do one thing- run oil refiners out of the US. Guess what that will do, raise prices further.

When people conserve demand goes down lowering the price. Remember Adam Smith? He didn’t drive an SUV either….

The US government could create its own refineries and sell it to us at a discount. This would ease the pressure on the American public until oil alternatives are up and running.

I do.

For decades, politicians, corporate leaders and the media have subjected the world’s people to the self-serving claim that the capitalist market is the most rational means of allocating society’s resources. What is now being revealed is the basic conflict between the needs of a modern mass society and anarchy of the profit system.

At the heart of the crisis is the breakdown of the global economic system. For decades, politicians, corporate leaders and the media have subjected the world’s people to the self-serving claim that the capitalist market is the most rational means of allocating society’s resources. What is now being revealed is the basic conflict between the needs of a modern mass society and the anarchy of the profit system.

It is impossible to ascertain any truthful estimates of remaining global supplies, because the oil producing countries and energy conglomerates have vested interests in concealing their “business secrets” from the people. Entrenched corporate and political opposition has also largely squelched large-scale development of environmentally safe and sustainable alternatives, although the technology has existed, in some cases, for decades.

Supposed solutions produced within the framework of the capitalist system have only worsened the crisis. The development of bio-fuels is a case in point. Even if one were to accept the widely disputed claims that bio-fuels are a means of reducing carbon emissions, their production has only led to a massive increase in the price of corn and other crops, wreaking havoc throughout the world. The entire project has been tied to the interests of agri-business monopolies, such as ADM and Cargill, which have an overriding concern, not in ending global warming, but boosting their bottom lines.

The rational use of remaining petroleum resources and the development of genuine alternatives require an unprecedented level of international cooperation and the marshalling of the world’s technological, material and human resources. This is not possible as long as capitalism divides the globe into competing nation states, each vying for advantage over the other.

The mad scramble to control the world’s remaining oil supplies has led to a violent struggle, in which the bloody US invasion and occupation of Iraq is but one episode. All of the major powers—from the US, to China, Europe, and Japan—are vying for control of the Middle East, the Caspian region, the Arctic and Antarctica and even the sea-beds of the world’s oceans. The struggle for resources is once again threatening the world with the eruption of a new round of imperialist wars, which could threaten the very survival of humanity.

people always talk about Global warming this and pollution that
Gas ran engines produce some of the most CLEAN breathable air on Earth

every time I smell an exhaust pipe of a GAS ran car
it reminds me of fresh air sprinkled with daisy’s

Voters why do people pick on the good and kind Oil industry?

And our good friends in the coal industry, too! And the chemical industry, worldwide!

Yuppers, our loyal pals and good buddies!

You’ll notice, by GOD, none of the good ol’ boys of semi-literate right wing hate, the ones called
"the three stooges"–they NEVER have a bad word about those folks, even when gas hits, say, $3.85 a gallon. Nope…that was Obama’s fault. So what if he wasn’t elected yet?

And we need more spokespeople for the insurance industry, too. Well, never mind. We already have the Republican Party.

Next week: Goose stepping to the oldies! That’ll be more the more athletic neo-Nazis.

did not tap the nations oil reserve to control oil price spikes. Any truth in that ?

Is there credible evidence that Bush was more concerned withmaximizing the profits of big oil than he was with acting in the best interest of America ?
Hmmm speculators "get out" when the future runs out, or they have to actually deliver or buy physical oil, so it cant be just the speculatours.

Depends on who you ask.

ask a democrat and they’ll say "yes that was his only concern-no more war for oil"

ask an American and we’ll simply regard that question the way it should be regarded. as nothing more than tabloid slander.

I mean we used to give the USSR a hard time about this sort of behavior and worked to break the USSR up for it and now we are doing it here. I remember in the 70’s when friends of mine spoke of the USSR and said they had noe freedom of religion and that is true here also.

Why is none of this being reported in the NEWS especially the COmmunistic threat of stealing assets from one group the oil company and owners to the Government?

You’re kidding, right? The mainstream media agrees with this; hence, they have a biased interest in not reporting it more.

that he abused his presidency to push oil/gasoline prices, to benefit the oil companies and only the oil companies, with total disregard for the best interest of America and its citizens ?
Plumber rock, they are the lowest in years now that he is in his 2 last months of office and they are still a lot higher than before he took office.

Did you know Bush once owned an oil company? He bought an oil company, but couldn’t find any oil in Texas; the company went bankrupt shortly after he sold all his stock in it.

My husband works for the oil industry so naturally Im concerned.
People seriously want to vote for this guy? OMG!

Very simple. He’s going to spend $125 trillion billion to erect a windmill in every backyard in America, which he’ll fund by raising the top marginal tax rate to 300% on all income above the minimum wage and eliminating the Department of Defense.

Soon enough everyone but trial lawyers, college professors, government bureaucrats, union organizers, and those with an IQ below 70 will move to Costa Rica. That will leave a population of about 50 million registered Democrats. At this point the country will be small enough that they can shut down the windmills and power the country with the oil in Chuck Schumer’s hair.
