Article: Haut Spearheads Green Drilling Movement

Reporting from RigZone has revealed yesterday on 3rd October 2011 that Rich Haut is enthusiatic about research and plans for greener and cleaner ways of extracting oil. New mthods for drilling for oila nd natural gas resources are bing explored as the senior research scientist for the Houston Area Research Council (HARC)steamlines the way for oil companies.

Rich Haut is currently developing new greener methods of oil extraction to reduce the environmental impact drilling for oil has. Haut is working with a range of people from academia, industry, environmental groups, government agencies and government laboratories to address environmental concerns and investigate new technologies that could see more environmentally friendly oil companies across the board.

As rigzone reports:

"In November 2010, we applied for our next round of funding from RPSEA and are currently in contract negotiations for this effort – The EFD Technology Integration Program (EFD-TIP) that will focus on field testing of technologies."

Haut said the group expects to initiate the EFD-TIP in January 2012 along with the Coastal Impacts Technology Program (CITP) that focuses on work force development, water issues and technologies to reduce the environmental tradeoffs associated with oil and gas activities along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Article: The 10 Oil Commandments

We've been scouring the internet this morning and tsumbled across a very interesting read over on Oil Price that we thoguht we should share with our readers.

The 10 Commandments

As thier own introduction blurb states:
If they are not actually "commandments" they might as well be. The original set of 10 provided a simple set of rules for members of a small community to live in reasonable harmony with one another, and that is essentially the requirement for an oil-dependent society that has necessarily fragmented into smaller communities, once its supply of oil has been severely curtailed.

But never fear it's not all about doom and gloom! Just have a read of these helpful suggestions and decide what you think about Oil Price's 10 Commandments about Oil use today. Do you think they have it right?
