The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

I’ve got a coursework to hand in and i think I’ll get a better grade if I say how finding out the viscosity of oil help solve problems. There is a definite link. Can someone help?

Just knowing what I know about oil and gas law, the viscosity of oil is important because we have to use machines to drill and extract the oil from the ground. The thicker or more viscous the oil, the more friction is caused along the extraction pipes. This requires more power (read: $) to extract it.

I have my BSc and a diploma in medical laboratory sciences. Theres not much oppurtunity where I live for a career in this, and I really want to stay where I am as I’m buying a house very soon here. Oil is getting big here on the east coast of canada. There are several companies here. Hebron has just signed on. I would be interested in getting a job with an oil company but don’t have an engineering degree or geology background. Are there any jobs someone with my background would be suitable for? Thanks.

I would think there are jobs you can fill. Most companies have employment info on their websites.

I am a trained firefighter and would like to work in the offshore oil industry in some capacity.
What is required for me to work offshore, how can I train for such positions as safety officer etc, or any other relevant position.
Are there any recruitment agencies which specialize in offshore employment of this type.
are there any jobs which are short of personnel where training in this field is available, was thinking of safety officer.

Good idea, plenty of Firefighters turn into safety officers. And your first aid skills won’t go wrong either.

Ideally you need a NEBOSH diploma, which you can study for in your own time.

As a firefighter, you really need to ask yourself if you want to spend half your life living on top of an UNLIMITED supply of pressurised fuel though. Ex- firefighters can become a little nervous about this.

Yep, NEBOSH diploma for you my lad.

What is the best way to get a job in the oil field industry in IT, am currently a student earning my bachelors in Information system security and I also have a associates in electronics. My plan is to work in the oil field industry, please help

oil well fire fighting… like what i used to do… BUt US-DOD Kept Pulling BAit SWITCH An would not pay up.

There are things called Frac tanks, frac masters etc that the oil industry uses and i was wondering what Frac stand for

To fracture

Fracturing ("fracing", pronounced fracking) is used to stimulate production in oil and gas wells. Fluid is pumped into the well at pressures high enough to fracture the oil/gas bearing formation. The fracture provides an easier path for fluids in the formation to flow back to the wellbore.

Fracs are held open after the pressure is released by sand called frac sand or proppant. Otherwise, the fracture would close back up and the fluids would not flow well.

The fluids and sand used to perform the frac operation are stored in the frac tanks.

they claim that there is a lot of oil at Anwar/Alaska….the found a huge oil field east of the Brazilian coast…..they have never drilled there…..how does the oil industry know without ever have drilled there?….The oil field east of the Bazilian coast is too deep for drilling…..

the u.s. will not drill in alaska until all other oil has been drilled. which will be in no less than 1000 years. so take comfort in the fact that the united states will be the last country with pristine oil….

and dont worry about the brazilian coast, technology advances will allow oil to be drilled from anywhere on the planet.
