Oil and Natural Gas Production
Oil and natural gas are two of the most important sources of energy in the world. The production of these resources is critical to meeting the world’s growing energy demands, and is essential for powering homes, businesses, and transportation systems.
Oil and natural gas production involves the exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation of these resources from underground reserves to end-users. This process involves a wide range of technologies, from sophisticated drilling rigs and pipelines to advanced refining processes and transportation networks.
Oil and natural gas production is a complex and highly regulated industry that requires careful management and oversight to meet environmental and safety standards. This includes measures to prevent oil spills and other environmental damage, as well as efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants.
Despite the challenges and risks involved in oil and natural gas production, these resources will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s energy needs for the foreseeable future.
Everyone that is in the oil and gas industry has been paying attention to the prices of crude, diesel, natural gas and gas at the pump. Heck anyone who drives has been paying attention. With the lower prices all the way around, those in the energy business have been finding a way to be as […]

For the past few blogs, I have been drawn towards writing about the Marcellus Shale. I just cannot get enough of this ever increasing natural gas producing shale play! Well, guess what folks? I got the chance to visit Pennsylvania last week to see what all the hype is about and of course visit some of […]

In last week’s blog I touched on the 1975 ban on crude oil exports here in the United States. Writing that blog lead me to want to read up on the natural resources we are allowed to export. Naturally, I focused in on natural gas because this is what pays my bills. However, that is not the […]

In honor of Croft’s new service division in the Marcellus Shale, I would like to talk about some interesting facts about the region and how it all came about. The closest I have personally come to that area, is traveling to Virginia and wow…was it beautiful! The majority of the Marcellus Shale spans across 104,000 […]

With the price of crude at an all-time low, all aspects of oil and gas are under scrutiny. Aspects in question are how much is being produced, how much is being stored, who is exporting or importing, and how much countries are consuming. That is just a few of the topics I have read about. […]

During my continuous search for knowledge in my industry I have touched on horizontal drilling in a few blogs. I know that it is considered unconventional because it is a newer way to drill. Since is it a newer drilling technology I want to know more about it. Why has it become so popular? Is it more […]

The calendar officially states that we are in winter. However, seeing people while having lunch out of the office in tank tops and flip flops contradicts that for those of us who are in south Texas… 70 degree days and 40 degree nights, in December, is nothing out of the ordinary for us. For […]

We have finally reached the final blog in our three-part series. The part I know you have all been waiting for…Shale Plays! As you can see from the map below, the shale plays lie in the tight sand, within the basins and these geological formations are all over the United States of America. The natural resources we […]

Last week we discussed what a Basin is and how the word is used in the oil and gas industry. If you did not read last week’s blog be sure to check it out to get a better understanding of basin and can differentiate basins from tight sand. “Tight Sand” is not the only way to refer […]

What are the differences between basins, tight sand & shale plays? Why are the resources that come from them different? Do you have to drill through them differently? We are going to explain the differences in basins, tight sand, and shale plays in a three-post series. Basins are geographically the largest of the […]

Lingo, jargon, verbiage, whatever you want to call it, every industry has its own. The oil and gas industry is no different. “Conventional” and “unconventional” are terms used across the industry that many may not have a clear understanding. So, how do these definitions (unconventional and conventional) pertain to oil & gas? What are Conventional Resources? […]
