I'm doing a summative and I was wondering if anyone knows why Alberta is known as an oil and gas province?Why is Alberta known as the oil and gas province?
Accoridng to Wikipedia, ';Alberta is the largest producer of conventional crude oil, synthetic crude, natural gas and gas products in the country. Alberta is the world鈥檚 2nd largest exporter of natural gas and the 4th largest producer.';Why is Alberta known as the oil and gas province?
Largest reserves of oil and gas in Canada and their boom- bust economy is directly linked.
they have some of the largest deposits of oil shale in the sands

Is Dexxon Oil and Gas Company Real or Bogus?
I have been offered a job in Dexxon Oil and Gas in London.They need my CV and before I send my CV I wish someone will give the authencity of Dexxon OIl and Gas company's profile.Is Dexxon Oil and Gas Company Real or Bogus?
big company ... check their web site....Is Dexxon Oil and Gas Company Real or Bogus?
Scam.
A company you never heard of has offered you a job without seeing your CV? There is a web site and that might be a real company, but your email will have come from scammers. Do a Google search and the top answers are all about scamming

When will the U.S. start drilling for oil and gas in our country to offset these ridiculous gas prices?
It is a great business, lol, the corruption comes together the speculation and the vested interests. Many influential people of USA, receive economic benefits from oil companies, therefore no interest to change this reality, because it would be directly affected. Analyze developments in oil prices, what group has the highest and you will understand what I am talking.When will the U.S. start drilling for oil and gas in our country to offset these ridiculous gas prices?
We already do drill in Texas and Louisiana and other parts of the U.S.
If you are talking about drilling the protected areas of Alaska, numerous research has been done that says even if you could get all the oil out, ship it to refineries, and make it into gas--it would only lower gas prices by about 2 cents.
Plus, you would have to build all the roads, pumps, and pipes to get the oil, not to mention deforestation and pollution from the logging trucks and other vehicles that would be needed.When will the U.S. start drilling for oil and gas in our country to offset these ridiculous gas prices?
My father is a directional driller in the Texas Panhandle and when gas prices go up they work drilling here more than they normally would. My father drills for both natural gases and petrolium. I think that they would drill more in America if they had more people willing to take jobs in the oil field here. Even though the pay is good it still requires sometimes 18 hour work days, 7 days a week and sometimes when the oifield is booming they could be working like this for 3-4 months at a time. They usually live onsite so they cant just go home to their families every night. It is a job that requires alot of sacrifices. Not many people are willing to work those hours and the conditons are outrageous, they could be outside in the wind and rain or even snow in 10 degree weather or wearing thick layers of fire protecting clothes in 100 degree weather. And the oil price per barrell is the same no matter where you are and no matter where it is coming from.
Duh. We already do. And this is why I am floating in the Gulf of Mexico as I type.
But I bet your real question is this... ';When is gas going to be cheap again.';
Suck it up and get used to it. Because the answer is NEVER.
Here is the cold, hard painful truth folks.
Oil production peaked worldwide, even in the Middle East, in the 70's. The easy stuff is gone. It takes MILLIONS of dollars to dig new wells these days. Example... the well I am on right now is being dug under a MILE of water. And we will be digging through another 4 MILES of rock under that. And there may not be anything there.
Sure. We have some more resources in the US. But not for your cheap gas. Because it is no longer possible to get oil out of the ground and to your gas pump cheaply.
So, rather than ask bitter questions on the internet, I suggest you look at your own behavior... evaluate the type of vehicle you drive, and your own driving patterns. Because gasoline is only going to get more expensive.
And eventually, we as Americans will, hopefully, realize that petrochemicals are much too valuable to waste by burning in our vehicles to support our selfish lifestyles.
Wish you all the best.
I think the real answer is technology. What corporation would encourage technology when they are making so much money on high gas prices? America is so slow to ';get it.'; When others are producing small cars and flex fuel cars we are buying SUVs and giant trucks. As long as Americans were paying cheap prices for gas, they had no desire to purchase cars which delivered good gas millage. We are always too late to realize that our ferocious appetite for oil has gotten us in this mess.
better get digging on the new cellar and start stocking the underground larder. time to be more self sufficient - use the car less often - have groceries etc delivered thus giving us time to tend to the vegetable patch and feed the livestock.....as the North Sea oil will run out soon and gas quite soon after that.
well may be when oil and gas of other countries(middle east or venezuela) run out and you can sell your own oil for 300 $ or more per barrel and say its so hard to find then US oil companys will start drilling for oil and gas in your own country.
Majority of US oil comes from three places... USA, Canada, Mexico.
Most people do not know that Canada and Mexico make more money selling oil to USA than the Arabs, Russians and Venezuelans.
America already pays less for gas than any other country in the world that isn't a member of OPEC. How much cheaper do you think it should be?
You guys only have a puny fraction of the resources. They're going to be exhausted within a few more decades.
to get best price say 500dollar per litre

Where shoudl I go to find books on the oil and gas industry?
I work as a librarian and I am constantly in search of a reliable company to source material on the technical side of the oil and gas industry. I want to try and avoid amazon and give something back to the smaller players in the field. Please help!Where shoudl I go to find books on the oil and gas industry?
I can only suggest two:
http://www.gulfpub.com/
http://www.api.org/Publications/
I don't think you will find any small players in the publishing of books related to the oil and gas industry.Where shoudl I go to find books on the oil and gas industry?
If you are looking for used technical books on oil %26amp; gas, they will be hard to source but try either Dealoz.com or Half.com and be prepared to do lots of searching. Dealoz.com replaced CampusI.com and searches for best deal on either used or new books including Amazon.com and Amazon Marketplace.
If you are looking for new books, the the Society of Petroleum Engineers and Pennwell Books are the best sources for technical oil %26amp; gas books.
Look the subject up on the library's computer. The library would have many reference and non-fiction books on the subject!
I agree with Oil Field Trash - there aren't really any small players out there, your best bet would be to check out www.gulfpub.com

Where is all the oil and gas imported to the united states held? before they get to the gas stations ?
i mean, whats the name and is there any conflict in where they decided to put it or in the descision to hold it in this place (or these places) ?
or is there certain ports or a certain trasportation systems or comanies that the oil is specificly shipped to ?Where is all the oil and gas imported to the united states held? before they get to the gas stations ?
Individual oil companies deliberately avoid building up large stockpiles of oil and gas. The lack of a short term reserve encourages immediate supply and geopolitical concerns to impact the oil price, driving it up.
Oil is stored up in the supply chain in the form of wells, pipelines, tankers, ports, refineries, distribution areas, gas stations and finally end users. All major ports in the US either have a major oil terminal or a sister port which handles only oil.
The US government has a Strategic Oil Reserve in California which it started after the crisis of the 70s which it uses only to avoid economic meltdown or military difficulties.Where is all the oil and gas imported to the united states held? before they get to the gas stations ?
Why do you need to know this? Are you part of a terrorist cell bent on blowing it up?
There are various capitalist organizations, known as companies, which either have oil wells in places where there is oil under ground, such as Texas, Gulf Coast, Alaska ... now there's places where there is oil %26amp; it is not taken, like off the East Coast of America where the tourist industry lobbyists think that they might get less tourists if an oil well could be seen from where the tourists are.
So the oil gets to America from these oil wells in pipelines and special tanker ships from places like the Middle East, and they go to places called ';Refineries'; which convert from crude oil to blends used like gasoline and home heating oil.
Most of these are located along the Gulf of Mexico ... not all ... but this is done for several reasons, like when we get bad hurricanes, we have all our nation's eggs in one basket, so it easy for us to be placed at the mercy of Mother Nature. I think this is really stupid, but I don't make those decisions. It is a combination of Wall Street and Congress that decided that is what should be done.
Then it goes in tanker trucks, some by rail, and in pipelines all across the nation to where it is needed.
Actually, the size of gas tanks in our autombiles plays a role in the supply and demand of gas. If when we went to the gas station, we all only got maybe 1/3 = 1/2 full, there would be more gas not yet sold, and thanks to supply and demand, the price of gas would be lower.
Perhaps in the future, the auto manufacturers can be persuaded to make future cars have more gas in the tank, so that will help drive up the price of gasoline.extension

What will happen when to the US economy when the world's resources of oil and gas finally deplete?
And is the economy likely to bounce back from it?
Just out of interest, cheers!What will happen when to the US economy when the world's resources of oil and gas finally deplete?
All western economies must eventually face this at some point in the future.Some earlier and more comprehensively than others.The good news is that much ingenuity has already been applied to anticipating the day and developing alternatives.
If all the oil ran out tomorrow everyone would be in obvious trouble.Almost everything we do now would come to a grinding halt or at least a slow crawl within weeks.All of a sudden horses would become an extremely profitable business to be in and beasts of burden generally would be back in fashion on the High Street.
The serious answer to the Q is that it depends on the success or otherwise of efforts to find replacements for oil and other fossil fuels and also whether alternative technologies can be found to replace the internal combustion engine specifically and fossil fuels as our main energy source.
If for instance viable renewable bio-fuels can eventually be developed on a large scale cost effectively then the age of the car and all that flows from that may well continue on into the next century and beyond.Even long range air travel could continue if planes can be made to run on it.
If this cannot be done then maybe the combustion engine can be replaced with electric motors.This also means that economy carries on as now (except for aviation ha ha) What about airships ?
If none of that happens then there will still be an economy but who can say how different it will be.There are alternatives to us all going back to the middle ages and I for one don't believe we will ever have to regress that far.What will happen when to the US economy when the world's resources of oil and gas finally deplete?
By the time that happens, the world will have transitioned to the next generation fuel source and changed behaviors to reduce dependence on oil.
This transition is already occuring. People are buying more hybrids and fewer SUVs, public transportation is being utilized more, new technologies that increase efficiency of fuel consumption or use different fuels are becoming more prevalent, etc.
People will finally be forced into being more energy efficient and responsible because they will have no alternative but to do so.
IT wont some beginning comes from some others end .

When will the oil and gas drilling resume in the USA?
If we start, it will make us independent from other countries such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.When will the oil and gas drilling resume in the USA?
when0bama is replaced with a real AmericanWhen will the oil and gas drilling resume in the USA?
Drilling has been going on for quite some time, in places like North Dakota, but it gets very little publicity.
republicans own all that ,
When Obama is gone.
As much as it kills me to admit it.
The 12th of never.
