BakoDave + 9 DS November 25, 2019 I'm sure Ms Geiger is sincere in her reporting, but why aren't the 1000's of Oil Rigs in CA not included? https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/99-Oil-Rigs-Gone-And-Counting-Rig-Count-Falls-Again.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are thousands of "Dipping Donkeys" but precious few drilling rigs. The ones that are present are mostly in the old "Lost Hills" field, which is near Bakersfield and has been the most prolific shallow oil field in the history of the United States. But the governor of Ca has been pretty vicious on oil drilling. The Monterey Shale is as big a shale field as exists--Permian excluded--but there is a ban on fracking. 2 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry Maddoux + 3,627 GM November 25, 2019 There you have it: 15 rigs in all of California. California could be huge in oil and gas--probably bigger than Texas--but they have this erection for the stuff. Oh well . . . 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If our Tree Hugging Governor gets his way, there will be no "new" drilling rigs at all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your all good. In my crazy thinking, with diesel well over 4.00$ a gallon, a lot of goods are shipped by trucks to Califonia. I propose all semi-truck drivers stop at the border and have their own team of drivers pick up and go to point of delivery. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they set up their own pumps it would be about one dollar per gasoline equivalent GGE. There is also a pretty good network selling for two to three dollars a GGE. http://www.ngvglobal.com/blog/ups-to-add-more-than-6000-vehicles-to-its-natural-gas-fleet-1010  Edited December 2, 2019 by ronwagn 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ks_geo + 1 KS December 2, 2019 (edited) I know of at least 5 rigs currently "turning right" in Kansas and multiple in Nebraska too. Baker's numbers are a little off. Edited December 2, 2019 by ks_geo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, Amazon has ordered 15,000 electric delivery vans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
