Existing petroleum exploration techniques of geochemical and geophysical surveys, analyses, correlations and interpretations lead an exploration geologist/geophysicist to identify and define a potential prospect of oil and/or gas. There is no sure way to confirm the presence of oil and/or gas in the prospect other than drilling a well. Drilling is an expensive undertaking and [...]

take for offshore oil drilling to decrease the current cost of gas (I’m not an oil economist). Obama said it would take "the soonest, 5-10 years." Is his source–if there is any–right?

Trying to understand if such strategy exist or used in business. Are there agencies or group monitoring such pricing method?

Natural gas prices are up because supply is down. Supply declines at this time of year because the fuel is used as a heating fuel.
Supply is still higher than the 5-year average – because it was so high in Fall, causing prices to then be quite low. [...]

I want to know how Oil moves from the drill to the refineries, through pipelines and finally to the gas pump it doesn’t need to be too specific, but I’m trying to figure out what all goes into getting gas for your car and how far it has to travel and how many people are [...]

People kinda groan when they hear that I’m pursuing a petroleum engineering degree suggesting a more mainstream engineering degree and eventually it’s kinda gotten to me. Should I be concerned or not?

The price of gas is rising everyday and the DEM led Congress has just voted "No" to the US drilling for oil to lower gas prices. What are these morons thinking? Perhaps it is time we threw the DEMS overboard and elected new people.

The dems on the House Apprpriations sub-Commitee voted unaninmosly against drilling 120-200 miles out to sea. Do they really care about us paying .00 a gallon for gas? Do they think we are really stupid and don’t know what they decide and who votes for them?

I am in school right now and i just cant decide what I want to specialize in when it comes to engineering. I have it narrowed down to biomedical, mechanical, and petroleum. If anyone has some experience in any of these fields can you please give me some insight.
