FT, guess what? NASA is helping BIG OIL and gas companies

Many energy companies are internationally based, yet work inside the U.S. Just like many U.S. energy companies work internationally. Nothing new or strange about this. It happens like this all the time.

U.S. energy companies invented all of the means to extract oil and gas from shale formations. The rest of the world is scrambling to try and do what we have done. They may or may not succeed like we have. One of the advantages the U.S. has is different incentives not found world-wide. Our energy companies are privately owned, as are rights to minerals.

Private ownership of minerals and privately-owned energy companies spurs development of the resource in ways that cannot be repeated where the government owns the minerals and the entities extracting the oil. Mexico's oil industry is crashing because PEMEX is owned and operated by the Mexican government. Mexico also has sizeable shale oil and gas reserves, and they are in a quandary concerning how to extract the resource. The Mexican government knows the only way it will happen is to open the door to investment by U.S. private energy companies.

U.S. oil production has increased every year Obama has been in office, and will continue to grow during his remaining three years. He isn't going to do anything to stifle the ongoing Shale Revolution as it unfolds.

You LIE. Guess you forgot about that little incident in 2010 with the oil well in the Gulf and the moratorium instituted by Obama.

Prove that I lie, Dilbert. Maybe you don't know how to read graphs.



In fact, in November of 2013, U.S. oil production was at a 24-year high, while imports were at a 17 year low:

The U.S. will at least temporarily (for a few years) surpass Saudi Arabia as the world's top oil producer by 2016:

The increased oil production isn't coming from the Gulf of Mexico, its coming from shale formations on land in the in the Lower 48. It started in North Dakota, then spread to Texas, Ohio, Wyoming, and hopefully soon, California. And, we are extracting gas like mad from those and other shale formations. And, Obama isn't standing in the way of any of it, so far.

We're accustomed to your lies and it has been demonstrated to you, numerous times, that the increase of our gas and oil production is from STATE and PRIVATE LAND, NOT FEDERAL LAND.

You keep demonstrating how little you know about energy every time you tap your keyboard on the subject. Throw Chrissy and Pacedog in there with you.

Exactly which oil fields are currently being underproduced because the Federal government won't lease mineral rights to energy companies? What states are they located in? Which oil companies are currently complaining about this? How come this is not being written about in professional journals, like the Oil & Gas Journal (which I subscribe to), instead of the low-rent conservative "news" sources you all cite from?

In fact, so much leasing of prime federal land to energy companies is happening in California that is has some environmentalists up in arms.

Feds auction prime California land in Monterey and other counties for oil development

President Obama has done nothing to stand in the way of energy development since assuming office. I know it's a bitch for you guys to have to swallow this, but too bad for you....

ZVUGKTUBM wrote:Now are you trying to DENY that the increase in drilling is because of the increase of drilling on PRIVATE land?

First you must prove to me that the government has stopped leasing federal lands to energy companies, which neither you nor Markle can do.

Just because famous wingnuts like Charles Krauthammer parrot this shit in misguided opinion pieces--that are gobbled-up by gullible followers--doesn't make it true.

BLM is leasing thousands of Federal acres for energy development, in several states.

The information I posted is from 2013, but keep trying...... You are amusing me.

Chrissy wrote:Charles Elachi, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., met with top executives of the Norwegian-based oil and gas company, Statoil, on Friday, Nov. 22, in a ceremonial signing of a new agreement to assist in the development and subsequent transfer of technologies to Statoil and America's oil and gas activities. The focus will be on enabling safe and efficient development and production of U.S. and world fossil fuel reserves.

Technologies developed by JPL for the harsh and difficult environments of space will be applied to the demanding environments of oil and gas production. The agreement also provides an opportunity for JPL to benefit from synergistic technology currently being developed in the oil and gas sector that might be used for space exploration.

Statoil has large holdings in the U.S., in such challenging environments as offshore and tight shale formations. It is number 39 on the Forbes 500 list of the world's largest companies.

Now I don't like it for a different reason. Im not happy they are transferring our technologies out. Obama has been transferring our technologies out of the country since he took office, must be another spread the wealth program.

I wonder why statoil?

NASA is one of the very few, if not the only, government agency which has returned at least $7.00 to our economy for every tax payer dollar spent.  Since beginning, thousands of inventions and developments from NASA have made their way to the commercial market and our economy.

In recent years, wind tunnel tests and work within NASA has been picked up by the trucking industry.  Changes in the design of the tractors and trailers have saved billions of gallons of diesel fuel.

So what did the administration of President Barack Hussein Obama do?  Why cut NASA's budget and relegate them to doing research for Global Warming AND outreach for Muslims.  Gosh, why in the world is our economy in free fall with such great economic decisions?
