Oil Industry By: Savannah Kai Mozisek

The history of oil!!!!!  The history of oil is very important because we use it everyday and it is getting a little pricy!!The early days of oil were nearly not the same as today. It formed many millions of years ago. But through the early 19 th century Large –SCALE production end use of oil is unknown!!!

Pioneer natural resources is one of the million oil companies we get oil from. We should not use so much oil because we will run out of it one day!!!

The main idea of oil is really everything because there are facts and thoughts all over the world!! Oil is a very important thing right now because we use it everyday. When you work for an oil company you have to be safe and hope everything is in place. But oil is getting very pricy and some people cant afford it!!!! 

Interviewees perspective!!!  I Kevin c. Mozisek, have been I the oil industry for ten years now, I work for pioneer natural resources. I have seen the ups and downs of oil & gas production. The future of oil production especially in our immedide area is massive. The eagle ford shele is only the beginning of this major discovery. We have known about the eagle ford shele for 30yrs along with the Buda & silo just beneath it. We finally have the tenchlogy to reach &extract it we are extracting a light, established oil called condonsale. Our production reaches from Cotulla, TX, to campllation, to Yoakum. A vast area. Many people don’t realize just how big & how long this boom is going to last. We have Eagle ford projections of drilling another 15 yrs. and producing just eagle ford for another 30 – 40 yrs. The economic, imports are out of this world! So my perspective on oil is that, not only is it providing thousands of jobs, including my own, but represents a home growing energy that this country needs to survive & profit from overseas oil important oil along with Not gas is the past, present, and future of America.

The new Last year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was not the largest in history nor is it likely to be the last. But a patent-pending material developed by T.C. (Mike) Chung, professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State, could dramatically reduce the environmental damage of future spills. Chung’s material is a new polyolefin-based petroleum superabsorbent called PETROGEL that not only absorbs floating oil, but allows for its recovery and subsequent refining. When applied to a spill, PETROGEL immediately begins to absorb oil (but not water), and within 10 minutes will increase its weight by more than 10 times. Within 12 hours, Chung says, it can absorb 40 times its own weight in oil. “The resultant solid mass will continue to float on the surface,” he says, “and can be scooped up from the water or shore.” Chung also speculates that the material could be applied directly to a leaking deep-sea wellhead to create a gel that would mitigate damage to the deep marine environment. Polyolefins are thermoplastics used in shrink wraps and other food packaging; they are inexpensive and widely produced. Chung estimates that the cost of commercially producing PETROGEL could be below $2 per pound, while the amount of oil recovered per pound of material—around 5 gallons—would be worth $12, based on a crude oil price of $80 a barrel. In addition, PETROGEL can be refined along with the oil it absorbs, avoiding the hazardous waste byproducts associated with disposal of other clean-up materials.

3 important ideas  We could use oil for other things and make solar cars!!!  We could marke the price of oil down so people could understand the cost!!!  We can make airplane plants so we don’t harm any animals!!!
