Petroleum was discovered by Edwin L. Drake on August 27, in Titusville, Pennsylvania. He struck oil 70 feet beneath the surface in Titusville, thus launching the modern-day petroleum industry in the USA. This event is very important for the history of Titusville, because since the discovery of crude oil the region became prosperous.

Although used for many different types of product in many different industries, we need to consider the fact the world will eventually run out of petrol reserves and we therefore need to find kinder alternatives and substitutes.

My hats off to 'em! Re: It is Oilfield Appreciation Week Post by Timberlake » Sat Aug 06, pm My humble hat is off to all those folks doing the work necessary to get the oil from wherever it's penned up! Also must say thanks for those in the coal industry too, especially my Wyo friends that go after that most abundant, and cheap, form of energy.

And here's a big eff-U for all those that don't like what's been written here. Re: It is Oilfield Appreciation Week Post by runnin lead » Sun Aug 07, am Why all of a sudden is a whore house piano player pushing for oil field workers?

I remember I had that on a Tee shirt and a ball cap, when I was going to school in Phoenix. Used to get more then a few looks. The Lunger KW. I worked in the industry a little , myself ; 44 years worth , in several different areas.

The earlier days were pretty reckless. Some things have changed for the better , some not so much. Glad I'm retired now. Keep it flowing , Robert. Crazy times in the 70's, I started out at the tender age of 14 on a drilling rig, Saw a lot of stupid stuff, drunk drillers, meth heads, crankers, Pot smokers, crazy times. I learned fast, stay hard dont take an ounce of shit off anyone, even the driller or the tool pusher, if they are bigger then you, then you wait, use a 36 or something equally deadly a chunk of polish rod linner works very well also.

Even the odds up, And if you did have to go at one of them, start with a knee or an ankle, cut em down a bit, then Beat them till they were bloody and could not get up, Now a days that does not happen but years ago it was common place. I kept all my fingers toes, and found out that Production was a whole lot safer. Aint Qeensberry Rules, You fight to win, not be polite.

I watched a truck driver shoot a Dobbie Pincher to Rags that the driller had sicked on him just cause the Guy had a shinny truck and wore wingtip boots and ployester Pants. Then he dumped the whole load of casing in the middle of the location and drove off. The Coal mines were not a lot different in the Early 80's, And I wish I had went back to the patch a lot sooner.

So do my Lungs I had went to construction when I was 21 for a brief period, and is most likely why I hate unions so much, I was a scrapper operator-Water Wagon operator, and had just married my 18 year old 2 months pregnet Wife, and was told by some very Nasty Union guys that had taken over the Job that I had to come up with a bucks by the next morning to join the Union or lose my job, and I better be careful, lots of accidents can happen around heavy equipment.

I went back to my pickup and put my 45 auto Colt Combat commander, in my lunch pail, and fired up my Can and pulled out on the haul road, about 75 yrds down the haul road a big old skunk ran down the road, I slamed the can into the dirt did not have much for Brakes on that old Eculid 31, it had a 12V92 and a 8V92 for engines, and Shot the skunk all to hell with a full clip.
