As a chemical/petroleum engineer, this is a great little summary of how these stations work. Good find.

The whole oil scene in California is bad...Between the number of unplugged wells (just look at photos of South Belridge field to get an idea of the potential of what is out there) …

As someone from the South Hills area, I, too, am interested in seeing how this goes...Pittsburgh has really changed over the past 30-40 years, replacing a massively overwhelming po…

Having served on boards, the one thing I have not seen that would be really key (and maybe I just have not been lucky in my searches), is something that answers the question of wha…

I mean, my computer has Legion written right on the front of it, so this just makes sense.

So, to capture this better, would you then design your factory with acoustics in mind (more so than now), too? Like areas where soundwaves would bounce to resonate and concentrate …

Interesting idea to jack up beef prices even more... So, having worked with a few ranchers out in Wyoming on the oil and gas side, I can tell you that in some cases the cattle have…

True story. I have been to SA a number of times and know have seen how dry it can get down there (though with what water you have, it is beautiful). We also have a lot of farmers a…

You are totally right, the amount of chemical in comparison to the total frac job is small, but when you start putting 8-16 wells in the same space where once we only did 4, then i…

Sample Calculation: Total Base Water Volume (gal) (Total Bulk Volume): 16,489,452 Max Ingredient Concentration in HydroFracture Fluid for water (% by mass): 91.0 Max Ingredient Con…

Also worth mentioning, where the article talks about "proprietary recipes" - that isn't just referencing one chemical in many cases. They will just enter that phrase as the full li…

Full disclosure, I used to work directly for one of those guys mentioned in the book description.

I have used the FracFocus database for about 6 or 7 years now (been a petroleum/reservoir engineer for ~20 years), and it is quite depressing to look at some of the chemicals they …

The list is very much Australian. As someone who has done land leasing for natural resources, you can rack up a pretty huge leasing position pretty quick (I know these people on th…

Speaking of the rich, I found this video interesting about luxury goods right now. Patrick Boyle has some other good videos on YouTube, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH6…

Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business. Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #35: Peace is good for business.

Exxon is a behemoth that spreads its money over everything just to catch something - and even that is done poorly over there. They do have a number of legacy fields that if not alr…

Interesting. In that part of the world, the crust is actually some of the thinnest on Earth. Shell drilled some thermal wells up there in the 70s - when it comes to tech, they have…

I was going to post this response, too. Yes, you can close it because it is duplicate, but god knows the huge range of how good people are at explaining something to people of vari…

This is awesome. As someone who lives in the U.S, had a heart attack (double bypass), and a week hospital stay...I want to see if $298,000 was the right price.

I have read it, and yes, this is true...but I actually had a boss that would just demean you in front of anyone and every so often threw a chair, so my stress was coming from multi…
