The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

Oil is being found all over Atlantic oceanic basins and may soon be discovered in other ocean areas around the world. Also, some of the oil wells in Pennsylvania, capped at the end of their production lifetimes, have once again accumulated oil.

I think if you research the term fossil you will answer your own question here!

A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.

~~~

Well, there’s a very simple answer.

~~~

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

~~~

We just didn’t know we were getting low.

~~~

The reason for that is purely geographical.

~~~

Our OIL is located in:

~~~

ALASKA

~~~

California

~~~

Coastal Florida

~~~

Coastal Louisiana

~~~

North Dakota

~~~

Wyoming

~~~

Colorado

~~~

Kansas

~~~

Oklahoma

~~~

Pennsylvania

And

Texas

~~~

Our dipsticks are located in DC

Any Questions? NO? Didn’t think So.

so very true kitty

There was this town in Pennsylvania that found alot of oil

Do you think we should bomb this town and take their oil

This way we can all get cheap oil

Lay off the hash pipe.

Don’t ‘they’ realize that society is too well-informed to fall for that crap?

"Peak Oil is a Myth"
E. A. Blair on February 28, 2010

Excerpts:

“From the moment oil first made it into the mainstream, peak oil and the imminent depletion of fossil fuels have been vehemently predicted.

A by-no-means exhaustive list of those predictions might run something like this:

“I take this opportunity to express my opinion in the strongest terms, that the amazing exhibition of oil which has characterized the last twenty, and will probably characterize the next ten or twenty years, is nevertheless, not only geologically but historically, a temporary and vanishing phenomenon – one which young men will live to see come to its natural end” (1886, J.P. Lesley, state geologist of Pennsylvania).

“There is little or no chance for more oil in California” (1886, U.S. Geological Survey).

“There is little or no chance for more oil in Kansas and Texas” (1891, U.S. Geological Survey).

“Total future production limit of 5.7 billion barrels of oil, perhaps a ten-year supply” (1914, U.S. Bureau of Mines).

“Reserves to last only thirteen years” (1939, Department of the Interior).

“Reserves to last thirteen years” (1951, Department of the Interior, Oil and Gas Division).

There comes a point, however — and we reached it long ago — when one needs to stop swallowing these scare-mongering scenarios.

The history of humankind is replete with false prognostications.

We already know where to find centuries’ worth of coal – global deposits hold 200,000 Quads. Oil shale deposits hold 10 Million Quads; heavy oils are already being extracted by brute force from the Canadian Athabasca deposits, and bioengineered bacteria could make the earth’s vast deposits of these oils economically accessible everywhere within a decade or less. Even more abundant is the energy locked up within uranium and other radioactive elements. The world’s oceans contain over 10 trillion Quads’ worth of deuterium, a fuel that we will in due course learn to unlock with nuclear fusion. And nothing very fundamentally new will be required to unlock it (Ibid).

Energy begets energy.

The more energy we use, the better we become at developing, extracting, and refining ever more.

Stopping or even slowing the use of fossil fuel would not, contrary to what you’ve been told, solve this (non-existent) fossil fuel problem: on the contrary, it would bring progress to a grinding halt; but even more than that, it would do so by shutting down the conceptual mind, which is the uniquely human method of survival.

It would blast us back to the stone age.

Which is precisely what many environmentalists, especially those of the better informed variety, want.”

Good question – i’m glad someone has bought it up here. I can’t believe all the old hippies are still trying to bang out this nonsense.

You see, what they’re doing is taking an undeniable fact – oil is not infinite – and wrongly inferring from that that it will run out soon. But the one does not necessarily follow from the other. For example, imagine an ant and an Olympic size swimming pool full of water. The ant drinks water from the pool but one day hears that the water is finite, is not being replenished and will one day run out. Should he worry? Of course not.

There is plenty of oil left. The Arctic, Alaska and Siberia have billions of barrels left totally untapped at the moment. More is being discovered around the Falkland Islands and Africa has the potential for vast amounts as yet undiscovered.

So peak oil, like most environmentalist scares is a Potemkin village from start to finish

I live in Pennsylvania and only ride on the street, as opposed to the track. Should I be using 10W30 or 10W40, or does it not make to big of a difference?
Also, how many liters should I buy… I’m thinking 4?

Use what Honda recommends. Call your dealer and ask the service dept.

Probably because people realized that there was money to be made in drilling for oil.

How does it work with oil, gas, and mineral rights in regards to selling property?

I am trying to sell vacant land and I have someone asking whether the OGM’s come with the property.

To be frank, is there a reason that they wouldn’t come with the property?

I can tell you that in Texas when a seller sells a home or vacant property the standard contract calls for the buyer to receive all rights that the seller has- even if they are not named. If later on solar or air rights become valuable then they would have also passed. But years ago several landowners sold all or most of their mineral rights and since the seller does not own them the buyer would not receive them.

Tracking down who owns mineral rights in Texas involves a separate search than a title insurance policy or title search. It involves a guy called a "land man". They search thru the records and determine who owns what. Our title companies here have specifically said they will not guarantee who owns any mineral rights. Your state may have a different setup.

Some people here when they sell their property they keep the mineral rights (and maybe have to sell the property a little cheaper to offset it).

Liberals weres the outrage? Is it OK for liberal senators to cozy up with big business. Are these senators ignoring your wishes and only pandering to you while selling out to "evil" Corporations?

senators including
DSCC Chairman Robert Menendez
Michigan’s Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow
Bob Casey of Pennsylvania
Claire McCaskill of Missouri
Kay Hagan of North Carolina
Mark Begich of Alaska

and even left-leaning Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

You must be one of the people who think that a lobbyist’s job is to buy votes. It may happen sometimes, but that isn’t politics as usual, no matter what you have been led to believe. EVERY bill in congress was written by and influenced by lobbyists. It only makes sense that people deciding the future of energy in the country would want to hear what the people who control the energy companies would have to say. It would only be wrong if they didn’t listen to what the environmentalists and other energy producers have to say as well before making a decision. (If you remember–that’s what the outrage was about when Bush met with these guys and called it an energy summit.)

Tenant moved out because of failing paying the rent owed and because a hearing had been scheduled to recover the property. The property is heated by Oil and the tank is required to be at least 1/4 full when tenant vacates the property (Tenant responsible for heat according to Rental Agreement), The tenant called and left me a message stating that they moved out and left the keys on the back porch. In-between the time they moved out and when I was able to do a walk-thru of the property, the water pipes burst because of the freezing cold temperatures. Since the water wasn’t shut off, water was every where and flooded the basement and parts of the first floor. I have no doubt that they are legally liable for the damages caused because of them. The question is:

Since we already have a "Recovery Of Real Property Hearing" scheduled, would it be possible to add a rough estimate of the cost of damages to the property at the time of the "Recovery" hearing? Or will this have to be a separate filing using a different procedure and form?

Also, this damage was just discovered today and the hearing is this coming Monday morning. I highly doubt that will allow me enough time to have professionals look at the damage and provide me with actual estimates. So will my own rough "non-professional" estimates suffice for the "Recovery" hearing on Monday?

What should I do? I’m guessing that as much as $10,000 worth of damage may have been done!
Thanks to the 2 who have already provided answers to my question, but I still would like some more information/details.

1: What is meant by "adjournment"
2: What is the name of the form or form number that I would need to fill out to file this suit with the courts?
Ex: AOPC 310B-05
Less than 6 days have past since the tenants moved out and the damage was discovered.

We talked to the insurance company and we are fully covered for the damages incurred.

As for the tenants being responsible or not, they are. If they would have abided by the lease agreement and made sure that there was at least 1/4 tank of oil in the tank, there’s no way it would have run dry in the short amount of time.

No, your estimates are incompetent as proof (that is a legal phrase, not an insult). Go to the hearing and ask for an adjournment.

Well, I was on ebay, this lady had a listing of a walmart gift card, she supposibly had an extra card worth $500 and was selling for $270. I emailed her outside ebay and set up payment through greendot moneypak. I sent her the code for the reloadable code, which I regret and then was waiting for her to email me back. Within 8 hours or that moment she closed down her ebay account. She said she was going to email me back right away. 2 days later she said she sent it and gave me a phoney tracking #, obvioustly it didnt work and I have no way of getting in contact with her. She scammed me and now I want to hunt her down to get my money back. Here is her contact info, name VICKKI CULVER – AS OF 2003 AGE 34. CITY AS OF 2003: OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA. PHONE NUMBER AS OF 2003-(814) 676-2010 ADDRESS AS OF 2003-406 4TH STREET If anybody knows her or can lead me to track her down, I would appreciate that. Or any ideas that can help me find current info about her so I can get my $ she stole

Best thing to do is call the police, believe it or not. Since she scammed you: you can also report her to the FBI. If she has children, social services may do a spot check to make certain that a mother that engages in criminal activity doesn’t otherwise endanger her children’s welfare.
Payback’s a…well, you know: just go the legal way ’round: you can take her to court, as well.
