Pumper's Manual - The purpose of gathering information for this publication is to assist you in understanding your job better and become more professional in the performance of your lease duties. This should result in your extending the producing life of marginally producing oil and gas wells.. If the life of the wells are not extended or it does not make it easier for you to maintain your production to an acceptable level, we have failed in this mission. The writing of this material was done by people who have gauged a lot of tanks and sold a lot of oil and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Commission. We do hope, however, that somewhere in this publication, you will receive enough new thoughts, knowledge, or personal motivation to make this effort worthwhile and continuously improve your skill at your chosen occupation.

The Industry Handbook - The Oil and Energy Industry There are two major sectors within the oil industry, upstream and downstream. For the purposes of this tutorial we will focus on upstream, which is the process of extracting the oil and refining it. Downstream is the commercial side of the business such as delivering heating oil or gas stations.

Methods of oil drilling Oil has been the most heavily relied upon energy source in the world for decades. Petroleum products include the gasoline that powers cars and trucks, the asphalt that covers roads, and the lubricants used in engines and mass-production factory machinery. With such a great demand for petroleum products among the industrialized nations, it is vital that oil drillers be able to reach the reserves of crude oil hidden beneath the surface of the earth.

Paleontological Research Institution - The World of Oil This site explains several major aspects of oil development, extraction, and use. Clear descriptions detail the history of oil discovery in the United States, the geological processes involved in oil formation, the various ways in which oil is used today, and more.

Oil Sands Discovery Centre This Web site serves as an excellent resource for further information regarding the oil sands of Alberta, Canada.
