		<title>I.T. Kent Drilling &amp; Re-Entry Project Announces that   well # 41 is On-Line and is Producing Oil.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The I.T. Kent Drilling project has undergone testing, is on-line and pumping oil.
The project operator, Trinidad Oil and Gas is extremely positive about well # 41 and anticipates being able to open other re-entry wells shortly.
A representative of Trinidad Oil and Gas said “It’s been a long time coming but we achieved our first  solid results  in testing and we are proceeding with caution to preserve the longevity of the well. We hope to have other re-entry wells live with some very strong results in the very near ...]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Yields&#8221; of a Barrel of Oil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Crude oil is a fossil fuel that is pumped from the ground. It can be pumped from onshore or offshore wells. Oil is measured by barrel. Each barrel of crude oil contains 42 gallons. The crude oil is refined and various products that we are familiar with are made. Some products are common knowledge, like gas, and others not, like birthday candles.
When oil is refined, the versatile hydrocarbons are changed to create a variety of products. Refining and processing are done with chemicals and with heat.
A barrel of crude oil ...]]></description>

		<title>US Dependency on Foreign Oil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many options to reduce the use of crude oil products to reduce the US dependency on foreign oil. Currently the options are limited by cost and availability. For the average person, they cannot afford a new car, let alone a new electric car. There is a high cost to change over to solar and have a backup system to store energy or to use gas or electricity. While waiting for alternative energy to be affordable and available to the average person, the United States will be dependent on ...]]></description>

		<title>Refinery Process Units</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once crude oil is pumped out of a well, it will need to be refined and processed to be able to turn it into usable products. There are many different types of units that are found in a refinery. These are some of them:

Desalter      unit-before the crude oil enters the atmospheric distillation unit,      the desalter unit will remove salt from it
Atmospheric      distillation unit-the crude oil is distilled into fractions.
Vacuum      distillation ...]]></description>

		<title>Offshore Drilling Risks and Safety Precautions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling has been around for a long time and there are many precautions in place to keep workers safe, protect the environment, and reduce the impact on the sea life.  Though of course there will always be some disruption to the environment when people enter the picture (recreation, development, etc.), but when the offshore drilling regulations are followed, it is kept to a minimum. Recently the oil spill in the Gulf has made many people reconsider the risks and safety of offshore drilling.
There are risks to the environment include ...]]></description>

		<title>Who Should Invest in Oil and Gas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who wants to diversify his or her portfolio should consider investing in oil and gas. When investing in oil and gas, you should not only be aware of the possible return on your investment, but also the risks. All investors should be informed. For many oil and gas investors the risks are worth taking. 
An investor can invest in oil and gas by investing in commodities, stocks, gas or oil properties, and wells. Each has varying potential for return and varying risks. 
Some investment risks can be controlled or ...]]></description>

		<title>What is Seismic Oil Exploration?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seismic exploration uses sound waves to determine the density. It can do this because sound waves will move differently through different material. When seismic exploration is used to explore for gas, the sound waves will move through the earth and the results are used to determine where the best place to drill will be. The sound waves can be used to create a 3D image of what lies below the surface. Just like a sonogram or MRI gives a 3D picture to make it easier to treat patients, a seismic ...]]></description>

		<title>Types of Exploration Drilling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are different types exploration drilling for oil and gas. There are some areas of the world that you can find oil or gas seeping from the earth’s crust. It may be visible directly or there may be a “pockmark”, which is an indentation in the ocean’s floor that it is created from seeping gas. It is near the surface and has broken through the crust. This is unusual. Normally wells must be drilled to reach oil and gas. This can be an expensive and timely venture. Depending on the ...]]></description>

		<title>Off Shore Drilling and the Gulf of Mexico Spill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when offshore oil drilling looked promising, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, with the loss of life and the effects on the environment has changed that. There is new legislation being proposed that would allow states to stop oil drilling off their shores and off their neighboring states’ shores. The excitement for the possibility of becoming less dependent on foreign oil by increasing off shore drilling exploded with the oil ship in the Gulf. As the oil continues to leak into the ocean, more restrictions are expected. Onshore drilling ...]]></description>

		<title>Different Types of Oil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Crude oil will be used for different types of oil products. Crude oil is separated into six different classes of fuel. They are based on boiling point, carbon chain length, number of atoms, and thickness. The less expensive the fuel will be a higher class. The different classes include the following.
•	Number one fuel oil-similar to kerosene
•	Number two fuel oil-diesel fuel and heating and heating oil
•	Number three fuel oil-rarely used distillate fuel
•	Number four fuel oil-blend of distillate and residual fuel-it can be diesel, distillate, or residual fuel oil
•	Numbers five and ...]]></description>
